The downside might be that when you are aware of this, it may create a prejudice when meeting new people. Somehow I know (or think I know) that most people won't meet my interests to settle a common ground. It's not that my intere

I use 0.1" (2,54mm) pads (with headers) for all my prototypes. I don't like to use connectors when first developing a product or proof-of-concept: I cannot easily connect a scope/multimeter to a JST connector or its exposed p

Thanks. I didn't know about this library. Interesting, but perhaps I am missing something... about stack "allocation": var i0 = $(Int, 5); vs int i0[5]; In both cases it doesn't need GC. What would be the r

I agree, but I'd also say that silicon bugs are rarer, so I put them at the end of the list.

I've just installed this font and tested it with VS Code, and I must say that it is a very nice font. Code is clear and easy to read (C/C++ development). I think I'll keep it for a while. Regarding ligatures, I agree. I coul

Thank you and the other users for the patience. I guess in the case of your code, the checks are removed/optimized because the compiler knows the size of the array (since it's static, as in non-dynamically-allocated)? Probably the

But in this case the overhead may come from calling get_unchecked() for every array access, is this correct? Unless the function it's inlined and does a quantifiable amount of work (for a given arch), but this may also have an impact o

Nice move from puri.sm At page 15 and 16 there are some M.2 connectors. One has an USB line named USB2_WIFI_D* and the other USB2_4G_D* so I guess these are used for 2 external radio modules (WIFI/BT and 4G). I wonder what these module

I was just referring to your 3 definitions of hacking... To hack doesn't necessarily mean to go particle-level or low-level, or learn something from the bottom-up or master some field. And your first comment also gave me the impression
