It makes me a little sad that simply making screens bigger (for whatever purpose) is considered technological progress. Most of the high-end phones now seem to settle around the 5+ inch margin, leaving those of us who need a good smaller ph

I don't know about the post you're reading but the GP doesn't talk about fitting in or following norms . Living with people is an important part of the human experience. Sure, it is less important for some and more so for

Maybe 3-4 years ago. With the Launchpad version of gcc for ARM controllers, OpenOCD and gdb, it is a breeze now.

Thumb is the 16-bit ISA. IIRC, the Thumb-2 encoding is variable-length albeit still not as flexible as x86 but contains both 16 and 32 bit instructions.

The site is amazing! For someone only vaguely familiar with the mechanical-side of cars, it was a pleasant surprise to see all this quality content consolidated outside of a textbook. I was reading the sections on suspension systems and th

This is amazing! I've been looking for an online HDL for learning and trying out ideas on the fly and with no IDE at hand. Thanks for the link!

Forgive my ignorance, for I'm just starting out with VHDL and digital hardware design in general. Building a CPU is what I eventually intend to do and I am curious how would you benchmark a hardware design? What metrics would someone u

I feel another reason why discrete electronics isn't as 'trendy' now as it was before, is because of how products seem to be 'seamlessly integrated' nowadays. There is nothing to take apart or repair. A side benefit

This is pretty neat! It is still a work-in-progress though as the Github issue [1] notes. I'd love to be able to edit the disassembly and play with the visualization when its done. [1] https://github.com/thlorenz/v

As someone who occasionally dabbles in C code, I am interested in knowing what is the modern take on `goto`s. I know they are "harmful" but I often come across code riddled with goto statements [1] and I personally feel that as lo

I second this recommendation. Not being a CS major I didn't take an OS course so I worked through the first part of the OSTEP book and found it to be very well-written and much less intimidating. I haven't finished reading it enti
