Nice reference. Gonna have to binge some Twilight Zone now. I can't find the exact quote from Highlander (TV series, not the movie) where Duncan has a friend, the "best swordsman i…

Just want to put a very strong second on this recommendation. Three chapters in I knew enough to prototype something for work that reduced a mess of C++ to a couple pages of rules.…

When one of the pumps on my aerobic system died a few years back it was less than 24 hours before the drains were backed up. If your soil won't pass a perc test I guess you can jus…

Lowes calls it "smooth white wall panel"

Crazy. I was just shopping for this book last night but got hung up on different editions. This one[1] also claims to be the 3rd Edition but looks to have an early publish date. I …

When I saw the title I thought it would be the old Jack Ganssle article which is also worth a look if you're interested in this topic: http://www.ganssle.com/debouncing.htm

Have you tried using an XML parser instead?

My son asked me the other night how long we were going to live which took me down the Oldest_people[0] rabbit-hole on wikipedia. On the page for Jeanne_Calment[1] I found this inte…

Racket has an SICP plugin that makes everything from the book work.

I always had good results with Advanced Circuits out in Colorado, but this is over a decade ago now.

Holub's 'Compiler Design in C' is out of print, so he gives it away for free: www.holub.com/software/compilerDesignInC.pdf Probably not exactly what you're asking for, but hey, fre…

I always thought it would be cool to play an on-rails first person shooter where the "rails" matched the road you were travelling at the time.

Important to remember for each data byte in the buffer to also store the LSR along with that data. Windows serial port driver fails to do this, meaning you can tell there was (for …

Thanks for this. I was happy to see 'Patterns for Time-Triggered Embedded Systems' on your list, though the link appears broken - new link: [1]. I remember working through that boo…
