I worked on SuperH3/4 compilers back in the day. One thing I remember was how good Hitachi's documentation is! It was clear and concise and any quirk was well explained. The pseudo-code they used to describe each instruction was a

VSCode always could have multiple windows. You can open multiple projects and they all share the same process(es), so clearly Electron supports multiple windows. What it couldn't do, though, was to have a single workspace span multiple

The original ESP32 also has 512KB of RAM but some is reserved for instruction and flash cache. So on both the OG and the S3 you end up with about 350KB usable. Wifi is manageable but bluetooth will use most of it. That said both the origina

Espressif is usually very good with both pricing and availability if you wish to buy in bulk. I bought 1000 ESP32-S2 chips (not modules) for a project, it cost me a grand total of 1200 bucks as a nobody. During the height of the shortage fr
