Yes, as a wild guess, putting 100ohm or 1000ohm resistors in series with each lead might make it safe for inputs and outputs, whether wired correctly or incorrectly. There is no need to keep low impedance to drive a speaker or headphone.

Just bought one of those garden night lights the other day. Have not taken it apart yet. It has a 2cm x 2cm cell on top and says it contains a 2/3 AA NiMH battery IIRC. Cost about $1.29. That low price doesn't compare to a larger

Perhaps those creating developer tools etc can aid this scenario by making their "cross platform" story Linux/MacOS/ReactOS or Linux/MacOS/Linux.Wine, rather than Linux/MacOS/Windows. This might also

OMG. I've always seen people doing surface navigation or at most surface digging in Minecraft. I never made the connection to possibly blasting away rocks while below surface.

I was picturing looking at a screen of solid rock. The indie game I assume added a lot beyond that.

A First-Person Tunneler would probably also make for a boring video game. Wait, does the word 'boring' come from the drugdery of digging tunnels?

Possible satire, but conceivably practical: Emacs user links modifier foot pedals to generator, powers own computer.

Here's another iteration: A user supplied board with a high-gain op-amp, a comparator, and a latch -- accepting a clock line -- could produce a definite noise-informed bit sequence. This bit sequence could be observed both at that leve

That loosely characterizes my reaction to his "New Science" tomb however many years ago. Succinctly, I took the celluar automaton stuff to be simulating nonconservative diffusion. That said, my guess is that the current combinat

Yes, clearly I2C, properly employed, adds far more to observability than it might, in principle, very rarely take away. And of course: a) Oxide is not the first to use the same components; b) Oxide is past the point of bring-up problems wit

In the late 1970's I attended an informational talk by an engineer in the Bell system. The speaker said: "We don't know how good the [POTS] system is, but we don't want to make it any worse."

I've seen rumblings out there[1] that "whiteboard interviews" can be cast as "pre-employment tests" and litigated against in a "Duke Power" sense. Not to endorse that and I'm not sure anyone wants to

Nice demonstration. IIRC the Slint core is a runtime with a graphical backend which can be varied. I assume their UI markup compiler (IIRC) still runs non-self-hosted. --- Now includes BSOD! > We used our Slint blue color as a background

Yes these claymorphic UIs appear childish, but the buttons are large enough to not present a choking hazard.

This is something which worries me with Oxide using I2C (according to their board bring-up podcast), and using an auto-direction-switching level-shifter on the I2C bus. I hope and I am sure they can make it work, but to me that comes closer

Interesting question then: For what characteristics of problem is pair programming more useful, when such problems arise? Is there a pattern to plan for?

And as you might be alluding, particularly high frequencies: in the skin (via skin effect) of the wire! I'll confess I have never seen a plot of actual rms current density vs radius related to skin effect.

Good, but I wonder if there isn't still a moment/torque reaction to cause some tilting, and those towers also preclude packing the deck with containers.

I suggest a new meme: byoCSS (i.e. assuming classless html) Perhaps there is already support for this via extensions. I wonder if some flag (among a set?) could be placed within a basic classless html (and no js) page to call forth one or a

I sometimes wonder if these sorts of observations provide some reason to make either embeddedable languages or NOT self-host a compiler for a new language, but continue to write the compiler in C or C++. This is a weak argument compared to
