I agree that we need to cut back our current emissions. Even if we stopped emitting all greenhouses gasses tomorrow, the global temperature would continue to rise for decades before stabilizing, so there is still plenty of need to capture w

I don't believe that hardware constraints have anything to do with code quality. Running your code on a microcontroller will require your algorithms to run in a smaller RAM footprint and potentially come with timing requirements, but d

Thank you for the kind words! I will echo slig and say that I have been really happy with the Rigol DS1054Z so far. I love that you can build a really capable electronics lab at home in 2018 for less than $500.

I go through this cycle every 6 months or so where I will get excited about Rust and try it out for embedded development again. Typically in the first day, I get frustrated with some major limitation and put it back on the shelf. This last

If anyone is interested in using Single Transferable Vote for unofficial uses, I recently wrote an implementation in Elixir and wrapped it in a small JSON API. It is a toy in its current state (it uses cookies to see if people have voted an

Arduino. I went to school for Electrical Engineering and learned programming for small embedded computers using assembly. While assembly can be fun as an optimization puzzle, it takes a very long time to code even a simple project. Addition

This is a great idea! I did something similar which stripped the text out of my tex resume, but I like the idea of writing it in the intermediate format and then converting to whatever you want. While on my most recent job search, I found t

The Nest Protect adds several hardware components that a traditional smoke detector doesn't have, including an ambient light sensor, a distance/motion sensor, a multicolor LED, and WiFi. If your only problem with the current smoke
