I’ve started using SpinalHDL, https://github.com/SpinalHDL/SpinalHDL . It’s a Scala DSL that spits out Verilog or VHDL for traditional synthesis tools. But, unlike Chisel or MyHDL, in my opinion it’s a great experience.

This is awesome! I’ve been using Python to generate OpenSCAD scripts, and then a half-finished Python binding for OpenSCAD. This framework uses the natural parametric CAD modeling primitives, like the workplane. I never got used to the Open

That is called an anechoic chamber [1]. Basically, the walls absorb all the outward radiation from the device so the test instruments do not have to sort out reflected waves. It mimics the device being outside with infinite space in all dir

It's actually incredibly rare in consumer products. Especially since an 8-bit micro controller can cost much much less in bulk today. Edit: and 8-bit micros come much cheaper than Digikey when you buy consumer product volumes directly.

Additionally, the instruction set is not virtualized because of compatibility. Compatibility is a nice side effect though, so software from even five years ago works just as expected (not all software can be recompiled, and could you imagin

What kind of artist work can you practically distribute between multiple people and merge? Most things like this are broken into pieces and each piece is tracked separately and assembled later. I think this is a big mistake programmers make

It's interesting how the article you linked mentions cheap capital has enabled consolidation. I was always under the impression that cheap capital would spawn a plethora of startups and new differentiation. I guess this system has two

Yah, I understand it's not always an option. If the data size is limiting though, you can embed a Redis key or Hadoop FS reference into the message, rather than breaking your message system with massive data. Then, you can have the sto

If LIDAR could sweep materials with varying frequency and measure the reflection vs. absorption across a band, you could get pretty decent material identification.

It certainly wasn't the only digression either. I think you sign up for this when you pick up a Stephenson book. It's part of his intellectual style.
