For me, in the early 80s, this was all about state. Reliably keeping a state, well defined, numbers or strings, bytes preferably, and being able to act upon them. Only later I learned that this, ehat I was missing in the analog world back t

Nice. I loved his Short Circuit tune back then and looked at its code with my cartridge's monitor to extract it into a standlone player shell of mine (which might actually have worked out). Great to see the sources for the addresses an

Great project and write-up. I wonder whether most of those "hints" are really needed, though, as you are already using Claude CODE. Aren't things like "simple" and "clean" assumed to be part of its system

Well, it seems it uses the word "research" quite a lot for what it's doing (first paragraph and last one with "deep research") but does choose some artificially constructed one as the result. Personally I had simila

By having to defend your (thesis)/work like this, the whole piece is getting lifted into academic heights in a way, so you could as well keep calling its result and process research :) What description would itself come up with, BTW? W

That also is similar in a sense to a typical human bahavior of "rounding" a "logical" argument, and then building the next ones on top of that, rounding at each or at least many steps in succession and bacically ending u

It somehow feels that one has to come up with a tailored strategy for each CVS import that contains decimal numbers, dates and/or other data with dots in them. Most of the time I end up regexing my way out of the failing (and different

The promptly emerging Excel-Schmerz reminds me that the author avoided the use of floating point numbers in the provided example for a reason. In german Excel it's might be ok due to its original focus on numbers, but replacing decimal

Is this really the action/messaging pattern that Next, Be and then Apple and probably others used about 30 years ago, or did I miss something here. It was useful in a way but basically evolved into interface-based controller patterns d

Indeed. fast PWM is a great approach and fits in well with the analog conversion side effects. I still find the principal question of "if I need additional components anyway, should I just get the more complex ones" interesting. I

Due to the missing DAC on the Pico this always runs into that fully discrete vs. resistor ladder/network vs. external dac (i2s or other) decision. Great that the author chose one and finished (and published) the project instead of stop

We did something like that with an Amiga bouncing ball demo (on linux or Macs) back in the day (two decades ago, probably) I think it was using a wide master screen that the terminals connected to via vnc, displaying different parts of the

Did that for a security tool about more than ten years ago. Makes you love that tightly designed engine a bit more. I always thought an explorer or just an base lib would be fun. Great to see yours, especially with a MIT license. Tbanks for

That's why we usually end up starting with projectiles instead of ships. Once the drive is ready, someone will take it from you for a few decades to shoot at things. Impact seems to have a timelined meaning, starting with destruction,

Tap (tapwithus.com) had a IMU-based solution early on in the current VR hype cycle using a IMU for each finger and some kind of chord-based letter typing system. Was a fancy proof of your geekiness to wear them during VR meetups back then.
