One thing I wish MCU silicon vendors would do (e.g. STM32, Nordic) is be more upfront on the "bill of material" of IP blocks they use in their chips. Many different chips re-use the same IP blocks for UARTs, SPI, DMA, etc. Knowing when this is/isn't the case makes writing drivers WAY easier.
Recalling a frustrating talk with a family member about the government eroding civil liberties where she goes: "If you’re not doing wrong, you’re fine." That assumes you define "wrong," it never changes, enforcement is fair, errors don’t happen, and power isn’t abused. Otherwise, airtight.
Autistic observation #3215: When companies say "We want curious people who challenge assumptions," it usually means "we want people who challenge only the assumptions we've already rejected."
it really is true that the hardest 50% happens in the last 10% of the time window
Yes, not my prettiest job. Should've used far less solder but I'm out of practice and couldn't get the blobs to join how I wanted so ended up using a lot more than planned. Also, unplanned diversion into the third dimension due to lack of space.
Every "why are Americans like this" vs "why are Europeans like this" argument is really about whether you got your legal system from Rome or from some English guys making it up as they went.
Here's some cute bounding box functions for 2D shapes. A longer list here: iquilezles.org/articles/bbo...
In the US: next-day delivery, the UK: 2-days, mainland Europe: a week, LatAm: a month (if you're lucky).
"You don't understand the technology" is doing a lot of heavy lifting for "you don't share my eschatology."
a bit frustrating to see the same pattern here as on twitter where people respond to headlines based on a completely opposite interpretation from what the content actually says... Maybe headlines always were a bad idea
Game prices are insane nowadays. I remember when I'd pay 25€ for a game and it was a complete, finished product. Now, the average price for a AAA title is like 80€ and you still have extra DLCs on the side + micro transactions everywhere. Not even mentioning the poorly optimised 60€ remasters...
what's the most reliable non-drifty way to weigh things that are ~30g up to 200kg?
Guy at the grocery store asked to scan my loyalty card to get the discount then proceeded to use all my points for his purchase (making it nearly free) and I didn't notice until I got on the train and checked the app. I absolutely HATE people. This is why I don't normally go out.
New heuristic for adopting software: check the last ~3 issues on the repo and see how maintainers interact with users. If they respond aggressively or angrily to problems then avoid using it.
So, what's the win32 equivalent for macos? and can I use it in pure Rust?
Recently ran into a fun LC-style problem where the naive Rust solution was ~4x faster than its C counterpart regardless of all the crazy compiler intrinsic wizardry I tried to improve the C version
imho Kirby Air Riders looks overall fun but for some modes the visual accessibility is near zero, every frame is just junk colliding with more junk. I hope Sakurai added an option to toggle some of these hud/effects off.
