I found that the voice of the speaker impacts my comprehension quite a lot. Usually lower voices help me. If I may suggest a French podcast, there used to be history podcast by Jean des Cars "Au coeur de l'histoire" (maybe 5

I do not know sorry. FYI it was taken from this source (French podcast), if you want to dig further (and somehow you find a way to translate it ;) ) https://ici.radio-canada.ca/ohdio/premiere/emissions/moteur-

I've read somewhere that this is a mechanism to supress the signals sent by the tongue. The tongue is so sensitive that it can perturb our brain somehow, but once compressed it is only seen as noise, which the brain is then capable to

Maybe PCIe already does something similar, that's not something I have knowledge about. Though there is a small difference in my opinion, where, from the point of view of the CPU, it should behave as a normal interface, thus the driver

I must admit I did not think this whole thing fully. But what was interesting to me was the fact that you could add a peripheral that was not initially intended by the manufacturers, making a mainstream motherboard more versatile. For you i

That's interesting! If AMD incorporates scaled down Xilinx's FPGAs into their x86-family product line, that could bring a lot of RasperryPi's community effort into a mainstream products too (home PC) and let us experiment emb

That page can definitely be improved. I know what Matter is and I was exited to know what enhancements were brought, but it is kinda hard to say from that page. I did not take the time to read the full specification or understand what the S

Well I was raised in French and my dad would use this expression from time to time. (I didn't read the whole wiki page, I'm just answering based on my experience) It meant "being resourceful" & ingenious. Don't

Yeah that's what I thought too. I think they could even get those cheaters to pay for the non-cheaters. Say they pay a monthly fee (I'm not sure if it's the case for DotA? I don't play any games right now). You create a

Yeah I've experienced this when I was young. My mom was running a daycare at home, and I would sometimes try to help at lunchtime. Me: <Kid's name>, do you want apple juice? No. Do you want orange juice? No. Do you want grap

Wow that's nice. Even though I did not intend to say we should have SATA and HDMI on the RP2040 itself (I didn't know if it was possible), it still proves that having realtime control on the IOs opens the door for way more functio

I absolutely agree that this would be non-trivial and a lot of magic is required to make it happen. But it would need to be done only once, after that it can be shared to all the users, a little bit like a GPU firmware/driver. I am jus

Well actually, it would be nice to replace any specific interface with a generic FPGA-like interface. But of course what you can implement with it would be limited to the speed of the CPU / peripheral.

Right, but I didn't mean for this specific device. I meant for higher end SoCs, as in the RaspberryPi4/BeagleBone Black or even higher end SoCs. The RP2040 could be used as an inspiration to provide the same level of freedom to ot

What stops major SoC designers to come up with a standard "programmable IOs" interface for all their IOs, a little bit like these PIOs, instead of shipping hundreds of flavors of the same CPU with different IO options? I guess it&

Is there any known problems / pitfalls regarding cmake and reproducible builds? Just curious to know.

Yes, getting energy from a sustainable source of energy is the best way, but assuming you only use it for power outages once or twice a year, I am not sure it is worth the investment. Especially if you expect it to last a day/few days

Living in a region with cold weather, this is the kind of situation I would like to solve too. The problem is that a generator still has benefits over a battery, it can be refilled (i.e. when you lose electricity for a longer period).
