Ahhh Flickr, that was SO cool in 2005 ;-) Seriously, with the policies that has now been passed in the UK, /anyone/ can declare your image to be fair game after a little while and use it commercially for free; so I stopped posting

There ARE tons of boards between arduidiot and raspberry pi, just the range of STM32 based 'discovery' board is awesome, and in fact makes you wonder why people don't use them more. There are also a lot of 'intermediate&

I agree, debian hasn't ran in 64MB for a very long time now. Just try launching 'aptitude' and /that/ will just explode in your face. You can always swap on the SD card.?. >:->

I've been using ragel for a few years, and really like it; but it does have the problem of not handling very well bit based structures (or, even, 8 bits based structures). Also, the author closed the mailing list and packed up; presuma

Actually, I agree with the previous post; and I'm the former maintainer of the mini2440 architecture (which used the SoC that board inherits from). arm9 are a bit lame, and /ancient/ -- you can at least get a cortex a8 or so.

Well, as a matter of fact, OpenWrt is probably the smallest you will get with a 'package manager'. It's really quite well made for that purpose. They have 'package install', they have 'full upgrade' and th

Faster, neater, smaller, etc? it's also handy to make statically linked systems/executables; sometime for very small applications, you mostly need the kernel, a small busybox and ONE executable; you can make really small 'dis

musl has been getting quite a lot of traction recently. It's been added to the last stable crosstool-ng toolchain builder as well.

I'm traditionally a night owl myself, but I'm trying to change. Mostly because I'm paid by the hour now, so I can go to the office and wakup /there/ at 7:30 :-) Problem is, I'm often still up at 1am, so waking

Well, seems they might make margin on accessory and postage etc, however, the math seems pretty clear -- they /can't/ sell it at $9 and break even, so there has to be a trick... Personally, I'd rather give my money to gu

Not ARM developers; my workstation reboots every few months, my ARM boards every few minutes :-) That is, unless you have a qemu port for the SoC in question. That's also why my host /sbin/reboot is "echo Wrong terminal,

I work in pro audio, and I always find these hilarious! There's a new one too; recently an 'audiophile' swore his 'special audio' SD card was unbelievably good. Mind you, as long as there are stupid people buying th

Well, the thing is, perhaps your dentist is an average dentist, but nobody has the data to know that. Perhaps ALL dentists are pretty average, save for perhaps a few who go to conferences, have a blog, go on dentistry techy-forums in their

The grinding could probably be automated somehow; might actually be easier to get 'random' movements that way too.. I imagine a X/Y/R table with the blank (or tool, alternatively) and the tool mounted on top on a semi fl

Been pondering grinding a mirror for a long while now; however even the blanks are quite expensive these days (in the UK at least)... Also, given the amazing amount of time you need to do it, I'd rather go for a rather impractically la

Made from leaked sources too. The IIgs was such a nice machine back then, even if it arrived too late; I got the bug of computer audio after playing with the ensoniq chip in the IIgs, and that bug has followed me for 30 years ... as a pro a

The interweb is now completely unusable without an ad blocker anyway. All the new 'trends' all lead to more and more annoying behavior too. Like, the off topic video that will autoplay when you scroll down to the bottom of an arti
