Uh oh, China hacker has found your telnet magazine.

First thing to do is get a GPIO pin or two to toggle. Plenty of debug patterns that one can blink out.

Magic-1 and BMOW did similar, a while back. See: https://www.homebrewcpu.com/ The actual list of sites who have built their own CPUs: https://www.homebrewcpuring.org/

Far simpler, cheaper, and closer to the "understandable by one mind" machine. Add Bywater BASIC, if desired.

gcc will not let you actually define a negatively-sized array. Check it with some simple code -- I did. Even with -Wall -Wextra -O1 -std=c11 -Wpedantic, if I actually try to create…

F = Field P = Programmable G = Gate You aren't "programming", you're "wiring gates together". In other words, you can build custom hardware to solve a problem without using a gener…

Artix 7 is simplistic compared to any of the Versal chips. You buy an expensive FPGA and then try using an "open-source" tool chain that exposes 25% of the FPGA's potential. Not a …

It's not just that the boards are expensive; you'll also need a Vivado license to create any designs for it. That license is at least several thousand dollars for the Versal device…

Unfortunately, my colleagues, who mostly use Outlook, employ HTML to its full extent when pasting in content to messages. ("Refer to the text highlighted in red.", "See the table f…

It's good to see that cancel culture is alive and well on HN. You're free to ignore my comments, and I encourage you to do so, if you're not swayed by my arguments. However, if the…

"The compose window now also takes up less space with recipients listed in “pills” instead of an entire line for every address.." Yup, already hate it. I much prefer not looking th…

You clearly didn't understand my meaning. I suggest re-reading what I wrote, and then think about the "90%" figure. I'd flag your insulting "stupid conclusion" statement, but I'm s…

I fail to grasp what you are implying. Please explain.

(Ah, yes, flag when you disagree. How does one challenge a flag?) There are similar quarantines for individual States in the U.S.A., or at least there were. However, once you've ex…

If no-one left the house, there would be no food, water, or electricity. Your argument breaks down at this point. You are, apparently, a reasonably intelligent person capable of hi…

There is a limit to reasonable accommodations. For instance, restaurants are not required to feed you if you cannot lift a fork. From my reading, social anxiety has only recently b…

You could always obtain a TDD terminal, use those facilities to call the restaurant (call TDD, interpreter then calls the restaurant, ..) to place the order. IANAL. You could also …

I live in a state which has one of the highest new-cases-per-day number, and we can still go get take-out. 1) I call in my order. 2) I drive to the restaurant. 3) I put my mask on.…

The market determines what is reasonable, not you (or any one person). "Recover their cost"? What is this, communist Russia? So what if the food providers sell off to the delivery …
