I open the vial and tap it slightly so a few fall out. Then I place the on the PCB with paste on the pads. I’m finishing up a high precision impedance meter to be able to sort out capacitors if I mix them up. One final thing maybe: I stick

Slightly different take: first you get te generation of caution, followed by the generation of all-in. As with any novelty that replaces “something requiring effort” with “something low barrier”, it’s going to result in people that followed

This looks very appealing. I’m using a google spreadsheet, which also maps to grids in small parts drawers. I will give your software a try. One suggestion: for smd resistors and capacitors I’m using plastic mini vials: https://a

Depends on the branch predictor: correct branch, everything’s loaded and set. Wrong branch: flush it all and load again. If you know the branch predictor algorithm you can optimise for it. Edit: it’s on p27

Offloading the liability for a compiler sounds like common sense to me. How many heads did this company pay? 100, 1000? Related, compiler bugs aren’t uncommon in the arm-none-eabi family. Especially the cortex m0 seems to have a few that re

You know those cigarette lighters with an electric spark? Start a download over wifi, press the lighter a number of times in quick succession. Wifi disconnects.

One of the projects I intend to make some day is a metal detector with 2 pickup coils(*), one in or around the sole of each shoe. Instead of an auditory signal, a vibrating element strapped to my leg or ankle. That way you can metaldetect d

Here’s something many people probably don’t know. I live in a west-Eu country with several well-defined language borders. Each time we cross a border (on holiday), the youtube ads change language. When I’m logged in. I don’t have a driver’s

Cool! Had some Japanese song pass by and all the letters were vertically arranged (as is tradition), which made it impossible to find out what artist it was.

And each new type of candle becomes a source of fine-tuning or revision, progressing us with new ways to find the next candles - cosmological or microscopic. Which kinda points to the fact that we’re not smart enough to make these steps wit

Which means there has been created a solid demand for an LLM that helps in these fields with strong expertise , because there are people who work with this stuff for their day job. So it’ll needed to be contained, and it’ll find its way to

Having lived in both systems and currently living in a country that clearly reflects the European mindset, I feel well positioned to compare the two. Having lived in Turkey, which you feel is heavily influenced by US culture, does

Come to think of it, our societies have a lot of mechanisms to ensure that human fossils will be close to non-existing. In my part of the world, bodies or even the smallest remains are retrieved. Even if it means dredging a lake. And when t

As a non-native English understander, I find it funny that discussions related to politics are “flagged”. I.e. carrying a flag.

Very cool! I have to ask: what would the total size be if the package included the bios functions? Also: what could be done if the size limit were 8kbyte like the mask-rom bios days? Thanks for pointing me towards the bosh emulator.
