Yup! A while back I made a little timeline for putting things like this in perspective. https://gist.github.com/cellularmitosis/9a1b96ed3109690a2840...

Yeah. My first PC build was in 98: PII 300MHz / 128MB RAM. No way a P3 500 was available at the time.

Seriously! “ The PSRAM/HyperRAM PIO engine provides 42/32 MB/s (write/read) of memory bandwidth. Further, four PIO engines are used to provide four seperate read/write memory ports. This allows independent memory ac

Yes, of course! As I said, that’s good news.

They asked “are we decreasing the slope of this graph” and you replied by pointing to the graph and saying “if you choose a lower value of x, you get a lower value of y”. That’s good news, but that’s not what they asked.

I feel like you're being willfully obtuse here. I can't remember the last time I used a laptop which had Home / End keys. Edit: actually I do remember -- it was an HP ProBook from 2011.

Its funny, the thing which most keeps me on a Mac is simply the disambiguation of copy vs kill (Command-C vs Ctrl-c) in the terminal.

> 200 amps Something I’ve been curious about: is the current actually required for the thermionic effect, or just the heat? Could you lower the current requirement by thermally insulating the tubes?

Yeah, that's what sets the RP2040 apart from other micros. I think of it as being analogous to the recent advent of "software-defined radio" -- the RP2040's PIO are fast enough to allow for software-defined Composite vi

Thank you for highlighting this — I hadn’t realized how far the lower end of the price range had advanced since the days of cheap Pro Micro clones. 240MHz, 2MB ram, 4MB flash, circuit python —- this is incredible for $12, and from Adafruit

We tried GraphQL for about a year, then switched back to REST, but took the important bits with us: a published API contract (an OpenAPI spec), and code-gen'ed Swift from that spec. Looking back, it is hard to believe I spent a decade

Not really the same. High school is typically prodded to completion by parents. MBA degrees are a better indicator of voluntary involvement.

Has anyone written a language which targets golang assembler yet? I’m surprised I don’t see that.

Thanks for the reply. Actually, I ended up finding the answer to my question (“why doesn’t every assembly tutorial cover calling conventions on like, page 2?”), and it was because I was coming at this topic from a C perspective. https:&#x2

How is this an insanely common task? I literally never have to dink with $PATH on Linux, and only rarely on Mac because homewbrew has decided that certain executables shouldn’t be linked in by default. I think the reason you are getting pu
