Different goal, but if you read this and are wondering what finite field operations are, and why they are important --- at least in part --- then a series of articles I am writing might be of interest: https://www.embeddedrel

hope the development toolchain is better than it was 6 or 7 years ago... I wanted to look into PSoC but couldn't figure out how to blink an LED after a few hours of messing around with it, so I gave up. And I'm not a beginner; I&#

there's that anecdote (apocryphal?) of Steinmetz at GE: [1] (grrr yes it looks like it is apocryphal [2]; I wish people were more honest and careful about where they get their information and what they do or don't know ) ---- In t

OK, that's splitting hairs; they are employment agreements, not employment contracts. Still a legal document, and they generally cover IP created by the employee and specify how IP created outside of company time is handled.

I really hope that takes off -- I'm interested in something that like Git but which actually makes sense without costing lots of neurons to understand how to use it in practice.

^^ this. PLEASE. :-( Bitbucket has been rotting since Atlassian bought them, and now there's really no "killer app" for Mercurial hosting. There are Mercurial hosting services out there, but nothing anywhere close to Github&#
