Meta: there's a tiny typo in the title, "marked" should be "market" (as in flea market). I would suggest simplifying it to "Ligra: open source image projector from flea market parts", or something.

There's also things like the CH32V203 [1] which is a TSSOP-20 with hardware USB and costs around $0.81 in singles. The software side might be a little more ... challenging, though. https://www.wch-ic.com/products/C

That is like realizing cucumber in the US is a different vegetable from cucumber in Europe (which I thank Adam Ragusea for pointing out). :)

Could it be ... Uppsala kafferosteri [1]? But they seem to specialize in just that, dark roasts, so perhaps not. [1]: https://uppsalakafferosteri.se/

I would expect "basic cell voltage" too, I find it super weird that is almost always omitted. I get that heavy-duty (they're shipping container-sized based on the renderings in the annoyingly designed scroll-to-change-everyth

Of course sizeof already has that capability since C has variable length arrays. They are kind of being phased out, but they are there. You can do this: #include <stdio.h> int main(int argc, char *argv[]) { unsigne

The file self-describes (in the first line) as being HTML, so not using characters that don't work in HTML seems like a sensible requirement. Strange that nobody noticed and fixed it, earlier. Perhaps browsers of yore (heh, I was there

If you don't want to read the full article but still wonder "huh I thought NES carts ran from ROM?", then yeah they do but the exploit manages to make the CPU jump into RAM that is used to store the high score table. Fantasti

You seem knowledgeable about these companies, but can I just please point out that the Dutch company is "PHILIPS" [1] with a single 'L'. I wrote it in all-caps to make it more clear, but see the logo on the linked Wikipe

It's Perens [1] although your spelling/typo is kind of more awesome in the context. Not sure if he's into Lisp, too. [1]: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bruce_Perens

This is fantastic. If it's possible to set the default language for the wiki popups to something other than English, I'm showing this to my oldest kid tonight!

Okay, that is how your second list item: Fantastic documentation, even if in PDF form, which makes a bit less accessible for us and especially for LLMs training data crawlers. In general LLMs know a great deal more about ESP stuff than the

Why do you feel that LLMs knowing less is a good thing? I would add "no on-board flash" as a big negative, at least to me it makes it less of a "true" microcontroller.

I guess I still can't read, because I couldn't find the link to their actual products, they are a magnet vendor after all. Very confusing. I had to search for it, but [1] must be linked to somewhere in the article, right? [1]: ht

Very nice! I love both the underlying focus on performance by the VTE developers, and the intense hardware-driven measurement process in the article! The use of a light sensor to measure latency reminded me of Ben Heck's clearly named

How can they write an article about a triangle, list four relevant locations in it, while also not including a &^%€*#@ map that shows the thing they are talking about? Gaaah.

As a native Swedish speaker (and someone quite familiar with the "Bamse" [1] comic), this usage in Python always looks funny ("dunder" in Swedish means "thunder"). [1]: https://en.wikipedia.org/
