I was really hope for that to turn out well, but alas, but to Emacs or Neovim I go. I even paid for an Onivim2 license.

Right, exactly: when that much care is put into a resource, I truly feel that I enjoy it more, even if the material itself might seem dry at first. Those kinds of feeling books are truly special.

Rust is definitely different (and calmer imho) on bare metal. That said (as much of a Rust fanboy I am), I also enjoy Zig.

It's not really CS, but alongside the books you have listed (I have most of those physically and as eBooks!) I absolutely adore "The Art of Electronics" as the Bible to electronics. It's definitely helped me out immensel

Completely agreed. Plus the fact that all my notes are in plain text, (somewhat) editable on my phone/iPad, and easily searchable, switching to something else doesn't make sense to me yet.

I've had a much better (and arguably as safe) time running CalyxOS or Graphene on my Pixel. It feels like the best of both worlds.

I fairly often do something like this. I have a simple CLI project that I write that hits a few web APIs and reads a file. It's fairly simple, but these are the kind of basic things I want to know in each language. I then benchmark it

This seems to go against the nature of open source, and almost feels wrong. I see how it enables monetisation (pay for my sponsor and you get both the app and source!) but I don't think I could justify using it.

Regardless of other projects like this, I've been looking for a fun project for my CM4. I think you just made my weekend!

I know there was a widespread issue of counterfeit copies of "The Art of Electronics" to the point where the book's official website has a large warning on the front page. Luckily you can return stuff to Amazon, but makes me

I already love a lot of things at Pimoroni, but that Tiny2040 looks great for experimenting with! The wireless pack also seems interesting, might experiment with that concept on a custom board.

I honestly loving using it as well, hence the post. I have not always had the best time with the Parallax Propeller (was going to use it for a work project last week but ended up going a different route) but when I have played with it the e

Jazz vibraphonist here: pretty sure there isn't a definitive "minor scale," as you say. 4 (3?) of the modes are considered minor, 2 major, and the weird one (dominant 7). So I completely agree it's a bit misleading to ju

Might be in general, but for Ivy League and higher schools, they've seen record application numbers. I got denied from MIT and was told that they won't even refer due to the enormous amounts of applicants.

Good book recommendations, but the article looks strange on my browser, wonder why (Firefox 90.) The Thrawn Ascendancy series is great, especially Greater Good. Conflict/Plot is a bit crazy to follow, but I'd highly recommend read
