PIO feels like a lateral progression from the arm+fpga socs that have been floating around for awhile. So you could already get socs with even more powerful configurable logic behind their IO. Most FPGAs support partial reconfiguration so t

I really like how vulkan tries to model modern hardware--reminiscent of C. I spent a few weekends writing a toy renderer with it and learned quite a bit about the modern graphics pipeline. Writing vulkan for a quick hobby project is probabl

If laptops/phones have power events that you could hook into for when charger is unplugged. Just start blaring the speakers when you detect such an event without the alarm being disarmed first.

Just adding on to this great comment: It can be hard to get over the anxiety to actually go out and participate in a club/sport. This feeling is pretty common for even people with good social lives. A trick I've found is just to e

If you need "men" defined for you, you're going to have trouble participating in useful communication. Use a bit of intuition.

As a huge CCG buff (top 10-100 finishes in YGO, Hearthstone, MTGA), I tried to get into Artifact for ~80hrs. There are some really great things buried in the game: 1. The heroes add a bit of consistency to draw RNG. The equipment to upgrade
