Thank you for such a great blog post that even years later, I could catch up and understand! (We never did turn on the blue noise block. Even today, it sits idle. Sad.)

The great thing ("great") was we did the lower end laser printer niche for HP. We were able to make ASICs cheaper than HP could make them for themselves. So we had the (cough) less impressive hardware (scan sensors, laser engines,

Back when I worked at Marvell Semiconductor (circa 2005), we made laser printer ASICs for HP. We did a lot of dithering in hardware. We had a hardware block that did error diffusion, we had a hardware block that did regular diffusion. We al

Many years ago, someone asked this same question on HN and recommended runbox.com I started using them then and still subscribe. Good IMAP support. New web ui (v7) is quite nice but I still hit the older config pages. tl;dr. runbox.com

I wish Rust's non-x86 support was a bit better. I wish I had time to jump in and help on the MIPs target. I wish I could figure out how to cross-compile to ARM/ARM64+uClibC. I wish I had a pony, too. Very exciting to see a languag

Pascal is one of Ada's parents, definitely. I did Pascal then transitioned to Ada quite easily in university.

I just finished reading _The Ghost Map_, the story of John Snow's study of London's cholera epidemic. There's a good section of the book about his studious study of ether and chloroform. Good book, highly recommended in our c
