Looking back to the last decade, I cannot remember a single project I worked in that relied on YAML that didn't have at least one incident from its users or developers dealing with the files and messing up. Just some months ago a team

IMHO with modern architectures these days, and from the last couple of years in particular, if you start feeling the need for something like Yocto I'd rather use a full blown distribution like Debian or Arch Linux if its available for

Totally agree. Being involved with FPGAs for 20+ years now, and Xilinx for the most part of it, I have witnessed the progressive decay of their software quality. The legacy Xilinx tools (Foundation) were far from perfect but at least useabl

Funny how JTAG these days is synonym with in-circuit debugger. The original use of the port was to support IC interconnect testing, and for high density boards it still is. For external parallel and serial memories you can use the boundary

Being in the embedded safety/security industry for years, piezo igniters and sparklers are one of my go-to system test and side attack tools. They were also effective opening an August smart lock some time ago when one of my coworkers

From my experience at some workplaces, Netflix was 'a pure negative' for office work. Every time there was a popular show, which was several times a month, productivity at the office noticeably took a toll. I particularly remember

It is also very responsive in Android. I use FF in the desktop but in my phone and tablets it is practically unusable. Switched to Edge there a couple of years ago and it was a smooth transition and has some good configuration options, like

You can also use OpenSCAD from inside FreeCAD. I do it all the time. They both play together well.

Funny because I'm still getting probed by their recruiters almost on a monthly basis for several of their positions. Perhaps because I live 5 minutes away from their HQ. ;-) It's a shame but not a surprise. I have friends and acqu

Pre-powerpoint app presentations were popular back in the days. In the 80s I recall there was a huge industry of educational presentations for 8-bit Commodore and Atari machines. Some good, some bad, and some very bad. There were a few that

The Anki app does indeed import from CSV files, and you can choose what delimiter character it will use to separate fields.

Not only that, audio CODECs have analog filters designed specifically for audio capture and reproduction, sometimes even configurable. The advantage of having a cheap tiny board is that you can build a system like a polyphonic synth with ve

Cool. AK CODECs sound very nice, sometimes even better than Cirrus chips. Some years ago I did a similar board hooking an STM32F4 to a TLV320AIC3256 CODEC. TI provides an audio development IDE, PurePath [0], to program the embedded miniDSP

A few startups are realizing it is a rigged, unfair game and are trying to balance things a bit. They are offering stock purchase and exercise windows valid for several years, instead of just months or even days. Unfortunately it is still n

Sadly, examples from the dotcom burst and housing crisis abound. It's a double edged sword. I have always preferred to go for early exercising. "Many of these workers now owe far more in taxes than their stock is worth. Former Cis
