Reminds me of Niklaus Wirth's 1995 piece "A plea for lean software": About 25 years ago, an interactive text editor could be designed with as little as 8,000 bytes of storage. (Modern program editors request 100 times t

"Practical electronics for inventors" is what you are looking for. I have both books and I am a physicist. It's not that TAOE is not for beginners, it could be if you really want to put on the effort and are decided to go dee

A really beautiful book about the subject is Anna Frebel's "Searching for the Oldest Stars". One of the best books I've read on popular science in the last few years. I am in awe of what we can understand looking at thos

It is fantastic name of an otherwise fantastic tool. The day I found it was your last name made me chuckle and liked it even more. And since I am here, thank you very much for it! I always call it the compiler explorer but the url, as a sib

Arduino has done an amazing job at bringing those chips to the open public. The job has been done in many directions, software, hardware, education, marketing, etc... Arduino programs are definitely easier to read but they do add an overhea

That's exactly what I do. I like programming for the ATTiny85 a lot. I basically have my usbtiny programmer always connected to the computer and in a different breadboard the project I am actually working with. Then a simple Makefile t

I think you are right. But as a proof of concept is an interesting read. I've work extensively with Rust and PyO3 and Maturin and even for a medium to large project is great. I wrote a bit about that here: https://www.nhatch

Wow! That's a lot. But are they something that it's intrinsically difficult to understand or is it more like "yeah sure I can follow the definitions and such and maybe a theorem or two, but why is this important at all?"

Wow! Glad you had a look around. Yes, please send me an email whenever you feel like. And yes, you are going to need some sort of "support graph" and topological sorting. But this is way more complicated than it looks like. Most f

Hey, I've actually build a spreadsheet engine in Rust. Not open sourced, but could give you some pointers. You are going to hit lots of performance issues before you can have some gains using the methods of the article. The single most

I thoroughly enjoyed "the chip war". From the history perspective, the technology perspective, the politics and even the human side of it. How people growing up in the misery of ww2 went on build something that ended up shaping th

Both are great technologies and I use them both. My way of thinking these days is "use Caddy until there is a reason for nginx". When I am developing a web application, I use Caddy in my dev server as a proxy for my front end serv

I learned C in the early 90's with one of Schildt books. I actually did learn something. So there is that. It has a place close to my heart but I have to agree with most. It's not a great book. I wish I would have a couple of good

Chomsky did quite a lot of things in linguistics. This is about whether or not there is a universal grammar: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Universal_grammar There is a fairly interesting read from Steven Pinker: "

Oh wow! Many thanks! It's impressive what you can do on a spreadsheet these days.

Are some of those Excel workbooks with non-trivial analysis and complex numbers something you could share? I'm truly curious.
