I second this. It is very easy to run custom software on Kobos (at least the Kobo Aura HD I have). Executables built with the cross-compile tool chain shipped with Debian work flawlessly on the device. The screen can be easily used with the

You can most certainly build ASICs in VHDL. VHDL is not restricted to any target technology. There are (commercial) tools which allow you to synthesise the masks needed for ASIC production from RTL (register transfer level) VHDL code given

Without being an expert on the topic, I think it is safe to say that some symmetry in the nervous system is present throughout the entire animal kingdom -- just as bodies tend to be symmetric. For insects in particular, the brain is definit

Two weeks ago, when I applied for a new passport (in Germany), I was asked to make sure that my personal information on a printed out form was correct. Immediately the line saying "Artist's/Religious name: null" caught m

Note that for modern x86 processors there are the fast systemcall instructions syscall/sysret (AMD64) and the older sysenter/sysexit. In contrast to int 80h, those instructions do not bear the full interrupt overhead. I couldn&#x2

I totally agree with the article. I have been working (as a university project) on a semantic markup language which has a well defined, user specified semantics (comparable to a DTD, yet much easier to write) with user definable syntax and

Nice overview. Just a small correction: the smallest possible lambda is []{} and not [](){} as stated in the article. The parameter list is optional.

True, but if performance is your key concern, you shouldn't use either of them. Octave and MATLAB are great for prototyping matrix based numerical algorithms. And for this purpose I find Octave much more pleasant, since it is less nitp

I couldn't agree more. I started programming with QBasic -- basically teaching myself on my own -- when I was seven. And it worked. I was programming little interactive stories, drew crazy stuff on the screen, wrote small games. I was

Looks like a nice project. I'm currently searching for a Unicode library and it appears to me that ICU is the de-facto standard here, which has the benefit of comming pre-installed on pretty much any Linux distribution. Any reason why

Well, in Europe we have 220V rated at 16A for most things (including electric dryers), and a 3-phase connector with up to 400V @ 32A only for things that really need it (oven) [1]. The higher voltage allows for less bulky connectors, cables

I scored 10/10 in the test, but only because I experimented with this myself after I read Christopher Montgomery's article in 2012: As explained there, with active dithering, bit-depth and signal-to-noise level are interchangeable

I fully understand the authors frustration. However, as an hobbyist I would always publish my source code under a strong copyleft license such as the GPL: The companies that can't live with these conditions are most probably exactly th

As it stands, Tcl is still relevant in 2015. It is for example used as a scripting language in hardware design toolchains (such as ModelSim and Xilinx ISE). Furthermore, the "standard" Git tools "gitk" and "git gui&

It is great to have such a collection of rules and I hope they will be integrated into some easy-to-integrate static code analysis tool (as mentioned in the introduction). Maybe this will help people to transition to more modern C++ and to

I agree with the article, yet, despite what the table at the end suggest I got significantly less problems with NullPointerExceptions since I switched from Java to C++ for my work. C++ has an inbuilt alternative: references. References in c
