In some situations this might be an unsolvable equation. If your power supply is already 1.8V, most uC will not have much room for procedures when a POR/BOR is detected.

A lot of time is way easier and more reliable to have a secondary battery (Li coin cell) for this kind of purpose.

Is this type of technology ready for mass production? What kind of price breaks are we talking about? I’ve worked a lot with exposed pcbs or pcbs that are shown on business fairs or shows, so it’s very interesting.

In bare metal systems, cargo would run on the developers host system, so that should not be an issue. Also, most toolchains of the sector are way more complex to maintain and way more bloated.

I have not read the original paper, I'm not an expert in optics, but the article clearly makes an argument that seems contradictory: - Current solution is expensive because it uses aspherical elements. - New solution promises cost redu

Is still a little early, but as someone who works at the bare metal level, Rust shows early promise. The features required are still unstable (as in not in the stable version of the compiler), but it’s getting there, and doing it fast. In a

Can you assure that your preprocessor tricks always generate compliant code? For me writing embedded code is the ultimate test for your programming skills, since a lot of C toolchains for embedded devices (as in bare metal embedded) are u

There’s a difference between productive and deep focus. Even if it’s a factoid, based on personal experience and anecdotal evidence from colleagues, 4h is a good approximation. I will admit though, that there’s a confounding variable here,

You can set that 0.001 factor as big or as low as you like, but then we’d get the same nytimes hit piece saying this is intentionally being done by humans.

I’ve always thought that in that aspect hardware interviews are much better. The typical approach I’ve seen is to give someone a PCB and just ask them “tell me everything you can figure out from this device”. I’ve always wanted to test how
