This is awesome - congratulations on making a neat bit of hardware! And I love the name.

Since the title is rather vague, this is the start of a series about building a TCP/IP and Ethernet framing stack from scratch for a microcontroller. The author uses a chip (W5100) which can handle TCP/IP itself, but also supports

I had no idea that there were Busytown games! Very cool, thank you for linking.

Well, usually. Our doorbell, which was non-functional from when we moved in until we moved out eight years later, and which we were always planning to fix 'next week', is a good counterexample. Not that we'd get mad at people

There is no actual rule that requires quotes to make something a valid sentence. For instance, "We need to make sure you agree to the conditions. Write I agree on the line below." is pretty unambiguous in its intention if you assu

This is a much better demo! Thank you for the link.

Having Counterstrike in the name of the repo and title of the game might not be the best idea, as it's a trademark. It's also ... not an awful lot like CS at the moment. Mostly the size and complexity of the map.

Around 2012, I had sunk several years into becoming extremely familiar with JavaScript when I switched onto a team which was using CoffeeScript. I immediately liked it: it addressed some of the things I'd always found irritating about

That's an electrically controlled optical switch, whereas this is an optically controlled optical switch. Still very cool though, I didn't know the former existed.

The demoscene trickery is not very significant and is only a tiny part of the article. Great project though, so still worth reading.

Does anything run on an un-switched network these days? I guess you can see broadcast traffic, but I thought dumb hubs went out of fashion a decade ago. Although there are probably plenty of offices which haven't updated their networki

Holding the door for people is so ingrained as a polite thing to do. You really have to tell people not to allow others to tailgate - or install turnstiles/gates that make it impossible. I suspect this would be particularly bad in an o

Way back in 2007-2009, a bunch of Amazon Scotland developers and I were tasked to make a ripoff of MusicBrainz, because Amazon wanted another IMDb to sell ads on. (The brief was literally "make us IMDb but in another vertical"!) I

I guess the focus in this one is on adding links rather than discussion, which from a look at that Wikipedia page, seems unique. But yes, it seems a bit like a small twist on an extremely old idea.

Sort of, but webrings needed the site owner's involvement and couldn't have new links added by people just viewing the website.

In the UK, and I'm guessing a lot of other parts of the world, many people live in apartments with only a single entrance door. Pets which require medications on a schedule might become very ill without them. But yes, I suspect that an

Not necessarily. "I convinced this language/system to do something it really wasn't designed to do by optimising everything" is a well established genre of article :)

Yeah, your Scarlett should be capable of single-digit ms latency. If you're on Windows, you need to install its ASIO drivers and figure out how to use them from Python. Then, yes, use tiny buffers and run your audio processing very fas

My partner works at a botanic gardens. A while ago, somebody walked out of the gardens having stolen an entire small tree . Some people are shameless.

My partner works at a botanic gardens and they have to deal with this a lot. For most plants, taking discarded material would be fine, but they have some rare plants that are subject to international diplomatic agreements - to paraphrase, &

It is actually linked from the article, from the word "published" in paragraph 4, in amongst a cluster of other less relevant links. Definitely not the most obvious.

Sort of. I think in the video you linked, what's being shown is an instance of VCV Rack representing the modules running within the MetaModule, and there's a non-interactive MetaModule faceplate in that rack that you can use to ma
