Yes, there is. It is called "Introduction to Microcontrollers" by Günther Gridling and Bettina Weiss from the Vienna University of Technology, written in 2007. Unfortunately, it suffers from having a very generic name. It is short

I agree with the outcome of increased fabrication tools availability. Yet, when the intent is that the population is to be empowered democratically to wield these tools, there needs to be a better pedagogical culture in the communities. I c

You talk about gatekeeping, when most people don't know the difference between git and GitHub, making your first PR is difficult if you have never done it, navigating a repo to look for your first change is difficult. And yet the statu

A young EE is in a degreed program and is getting that progression formally as part of their degree. A person not in that degreed program is taking a random walk through the skills and potential mentors (if and when they exist). That's

"Approaching" means to go towards the skillset. A home chef can develop better knife skills when cutting vegetables. That is approaching being a more professional cook, yet it does not mean the person could work in a restaurant. M

I'm not a fan because, pedagogically, the structure of how it played out never allowed or helped people actually advance in the craft of it. There are better ways to build a tinker culture where people actually improve over time toward

I was never a fan of the Maker Movement. While it did get people to tinker, there was always this massive gap between lighting up an LED and using EEPROM, JTAG debugging, interrupts, and even designing some of the more intricate circuit des

The “Brenda” example is a lumped sum fallacy where there is an “average” person or phenomenon that we can benchmark against. Such a person doesn't exist, leading to these dissonant, contradictory dichotomies. The fact of the matter is

First, I decide if I think the app will have lots of client-side interaction. As a shorthand, the question is “Does my idea seem like a spreadsheet, Google Maps, or a video game with lots of interactive clicking?” If the answer to that ques

For iOS, if you swipe up on the url bar, it shows all your tabs and then you hit the new tab (+) on the bottom left of the screen. You do have to discover that faster way to do it, and the alternative is three taps.

I see. You're focused on philosophy only. My point is about the other areas of academia where you "doubt the situation is different." There, the dynamics I described are real. Either way, there's a certain perspective an

My take is that the GP was implicitly referring to Gödel’s Incompleteness Theorems with the implication being that a system that reasons completely about all the human topics and itself is not possible. Therefore, you’d need multiple such s

The best way I have found to use tmux is to unbind everything and set only the things I use for my workflow. Then the configuration (.tmux.conf) becomes the docs. I was inspired by the "How to Configure tmux from scratch" post [1]
