   If anyone's interested in getting into FPGA stuff, the iCE40UP5K (the 5K indicates the number of LUTs; there are other sizes available) has an open-source toolchain that works very well. There are pretty cheap development boards using

   0 for 0.0.0.0 is useful too. I often do things like ping 0 or ssh 0 (perhaps with a different port number) to ssh into localhost. 0 expands to "0.0.0.0" and can be used in place of localhost in many situations. ( https:/&#x2F

   I've toyed with that kind of thought. The technical part seems fun, finding customers (especially the first customers) seems difficult :p I'd really like to work at such a company though.

   Hmm, general-purpose OCR is a bit sucky for specialized stuff. I think it might make more sense to train a tiny OCR thing to read the multimeter, and I think the training would take seconds. You can even get ChatGPT to generate the training

   TBH the C64's colors look a lot more saturated to me in real life than on emulators. I guess it depends on the monitor or TV set you use, but even the Commodore monitor had a knob to turn up saturation, so IMO it doesn't really ma

    In case anyone is wondering why different glyphs have the same unicode code point, and how an app is supposed to decide which one to render... Well I don't know the reason for the first question actually, though many people appear to h

    Hmm, well, I think it wouldn't be easy to make a reservation without being able to read and write Japanese. Actually TBH I don't know if the owner can speak English :c Normally, first-time visitors are given a quick tour so they c

    This feels like a shameless plug, sorry. I sometimes do volunteer work at a (mostly personal) computer museum in Tokyo. https://www.dream-library.org/museum/index.html If anyone nearby is reading this, please consider

    There are certain usage patterns that you will find all over the place, e.g.: - Current-limiting resistors - The resistor divider (two resistors between e.g. 3.3V and GND. The point between the two resistors will be between 3.3V and 0V, dep

    There's a lot of people who only know VBA (in terms of programming languages), and there's a huge amount of VBA code in production out there. Microsoft won't make itself popular by replacing VBA for some silly technical reaso

    This is one of the things (along with repair) that finally motivated me to learn electronics. You could probably build your own Everdrive 64 for less than $20! (Plus hundreds of dollars for an oscilloscope and other equipment but you can ke

    There's a TV show that airs once a week that explores mostly smaller-scale factories all around Japan, Tanken Factory / 探検ファクトリー. I doubt there are English subtitles for it, but if you understand Japanese, I highly recommend it!

    I can repair old machines, I started last year and have done a dozen or so. Does that mean that I should start a repair business for old machines? I don't think the economics make sense for most machines; sometimes it takes less than a
