It would be hard for a replacement with the purpose of modernizing a way of working to be idiomatic at the same time. It would be an explicit attempt to update what is idiomatic, and of course not be the same as what was before. It's

On that particular car model you had to interact with the touch display every 15 minutes or else the whole car went into power saving mode and the CAN bus stopped sending messages. Wait, what? I guess that doesn't disturb ordinary op

This is a bit whooosh for my poor head, but very cool to notice that Greg Egan [1] (an SF author definitely represented in my bookshelves) is active in that scene. [1]: https://gregegan.net/

Over here in Europe (PAL) land, Amiga low resolution (320x256) was actually a mode with square pixels! It seems [1] the aspect ratio for the NTSC low-res was 44:52 = 22:26 = 11:13 which is a bit off but teenage demo-coder me would probably

That sounds like the field of energy harvesting [1], specifically the "ambient radiation sources" category [2]. The page is ... not short, more people have been thinking about this! [1]: https://en.wikipedia.org/wi

I have one! My memory is pretty crap, and I've been around the block a few times so I'm not stating that this truly is my worst bug but it was ... bad. I was working in embedded, developing part of the control software for ... som

My guess would be that it was instead of the direct connection to power that was needed (since a bypass, i.e. a direct connection to power) fixed it. That would be a rather significant schematic and/or board design error though, which

According to Analog's product page [1] for the ADSP-21469, it delivers 2.7 GFLOPS at 450 MHz. And Wikipedia's page of all the RPi models says that the latest (4B) manages 8 GFLOPS at around 1.8 GHz. If that means that the answer t

Yeah, it sounded almost too good too be true, a name that is related to writing and has the letters LLM in it, in the right order even. Wow. Interesting to see how this works out, if it's "too near for comfort" or not to yo

I thought this was a fun journey through a tiny DIY tooling project, and I enjoyed it! I liked the detail level which is turned up quite high, taking care to explain many of the steps that are (typically) taken for granted by electronics ho

For those that don't know (like me, three minutes ago) gamescope [1] is a Wayland compositor custom-written for games (and, I believe, what the Steam Deck uses). it's open source, and under the "BSD 2-clause" license. [1

I've never used Wise (or hardly heard about it), but I think their use of textual currency names under the balance numbers was ... odd. I mean, even as a Northern European, I expect to see something like "£2163.00" for a bala

This is coming up a lot, here [1] and [2] here. Not a lot of discussion. I enjoyed it, since it was refreshingly hard-core and low-level. Absurd amounts of actual run-time optimization (as opposed to golfing the source size) are informative

Left, you would (obviously, this is a typo) shift left. And 3 followed by 2 since 1<<3 is 8, and 1<<5 is 32 and 8+32 is 40.

Today (but perhaps slightly less in 2016, not sure) you could easily imagine a microcontroller (or FPGA) with a microphone that bugs you, but encodes that audio (using steganography) onto a canned audio file of elevator music, and then send

Correct, and since the article is on their very site [1] I guess the context can be forgiven for being assumed. [1]: https://frame.work/

This was announced last year, but the actual product was not available nor described in any detail by ST until a couple of days ago, I think. I think it's very interesting since it (finally) adds graphics acceleration in hardware to a

This looks really interesting. I haven't jumped into the Pico pool yet for my hobbyist microcontroller fun, but I guess I "should", it does look pretty cool and the price/availability is right. I was initially turned off

Many countries have outlawed leaded solder, even for at-home/hobbyist use. Much annoying.

That sounds fantastic, and it mirrors my (brief & shallow) experience with such tools. It quickly becomes too much of a drawing project, and too little of a data-capture/tabulating one. But please please please show the resulting p

I feel as if I've read this before, about the risks of putting all bananas in one basked so to speak. Still, interesting. I did not know that the banana can be classified as "our most important fresh fruit crop". Also, this p

I understand the power of angle grinders (so much that I'm still hesitant to buy one), but I object to a battery-powered angle grinder _not_ being "more tools". It has to be at least one level above what the Average Bike Thie
