He's a C++ programmer, so I assume he can also code in C. So do I. When you go so low-level, then everything else just translates to "overhead" and it's always a trade-off (for example exchanging performance with "f

Besides the fact that you cannot estimate the value of a person's life and the fact I don't want to think you're trolling, it can happen to anyone. We have recently a case of a coworker (middle-age man) falling in his house w

It is an elementary mistake done by the programmer of the audio application. I think that's the reason the author wrote this article. Kernel designers solve that by temporarily boosting the priority of the lower (blocking) thread to be

It DOES apply to a certain extent, and can produce a whole different set of headaches. Instead of having "threads" you have the main program loop and the interrupt that sends audio (mostly through I2S, interrupt triggered when the

Oh my.... Well, I guess the author realized about the confusion in every other non-Rust programmer it generates ( https://git.ralfj.de/web.git/commitdiff/13622f8642fc071bedf3... ).

An 8-bit byte can hold 256 values, from 0 to 255, and cannot hold a value = 256, whatever the philosophy is.

I was a kid, but I remember disassembling the game with my dad to see if there was a way to kill that fat swordman mid-game, that killed us every time. We succeeded by getting the 'megahit' keyword. That was my very first session

I also use gimp for simple "cleanup" tasks and brightness/contrast. I wonder, what is the alternative you are using now, and if it's free like gimp?

I come from an embedded development environment, and for me simplicity is everything. But even that, I think the approach of an "all public" class is a little bit risky, and can be a pain to debug if accidentally you change an int

With modern JTAG probes and available software (like GDB or OpenOCD) it's unthinkable going back to debugging with SW emulators, in-circuit emulators or with bare LEDs or a serial port (sometimes you have none). Being able to debug fir
