There's a functional / lazy version I like that uses a priority queue in order to get the next prime number https://www.cs.hmc.edu/~oneill/papers/Sieve-JFP.pdf It basically uses th…

Because they all cheated on their coursework and got graded on a curve for exams. Source: I was a TA for an intro CS course.

Watch EEVblog's playlist on DC theory, and then play around with a breadboard and simulations using something like circuitjs. Get some basic tools such as a soldering iron (and sol…

I have Teksavvy via Cogeco and had no issues (obviously). I just discovered Rogers owns 41% of their shares though :|

These are just reports people made that the sites were down. Not actual data from monitoring tools or something. I used my Canadian banking website a bunch of times yesterday and h…

Or block all of the non-educational youtube channels. Personally a good portion of my youtube usage is educational videos about electronics now. It feels like much less of a waste …

They referenced the movie on Stranger Things as well with a line similar to the one River Phoenix's character says: "It's fascinating what 50 bucks will get you at the county recor…

You can even place a backdoor on a circuit without any noticeable physical changes (other than chemical differences which are extremely hard to detect). You basically change which …

It works if you put it in "Verbatim" mode for that particular search, but I don't know how to make it permanent. Does anyone know if there's a way to always force it to use "verbat…

That's awesome. I didn't file an issue yet but I was hoping to try it again soon and get a better idea of what's going wrong first.

You can always call the C functions directly (from a shared lib) although admittedly it's a pain because you have to deal with unmanaged pointers very often.

I would really like to see more work on improving the use of Nim for programming microcontrollers. I stumbled on to https://github.com/elcritch/nesper recently and it looks neat, b…

good to know! I was a bit confused by that at first :)

So this blog post covers the 1.0 hardware revision, but I just opened up mine out of curiosity and realized I have the 1.2 revision, which uses the sandisk chip, so everything is d…

I would recommend getting a roll of kapton tape as well (make sure it's not counterfeit), and then use that to mask other components so you don't accidentally damage stuff

you could use an appropriate hot air station + some flux as well I think (and a good pair of tweezers designed for electronics) Also, kapton tape is very useful if you're afraid of…

Doctors google rare disease symptoms sometimes, however, and it's seen as a legitimate thing to try if you're truly stumped by a mysterious illness.

Named-data networking is literally what this is describing, except NDN works as a replacement for TCP, not HTTP. In the long term I'd rather have it work at a lower level and not h…

And if you enjoy piano, there's some music specially created for this purpose https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vexations

I find that I can focus better if I listen to a single track on repeat (I've done it literally for hours). The repetition helps for some reason because you're not surprised.

They're presenting a bit of a false dichotomy. You can use social media and still be sane, you just have to have some amount of self awareness so the troubling aspects don't affect…

I'm guessing this is done with WebKit so I wonder how hard it would be to port to Linux/Windows. Also it would be neat to have vim-like keyboard shortcuts.

I'm assuming you've read the book and have looked at all of the arguments and evidence in it, otherwise this might seem like an uninformed opinion.
