For me, in the early 80s, this was all about state. Reliably keeping a state, well defined, numbers or strings, bytes preferably, and being able to act upon them. Only later I lear…

Nice. I loved his Short Circuit tune back then and looked at its code with my cartridge's monitor to extract it into a standlone player shell of mine (which might actually have wor…

Great project and write-up. I wonder whether most of those "hints" are really needed, though, as you are already using Claude CODE. Aren't things like "simple" and "clean" assumed …

Any numbers on practical pricing per country for these scans?

I'd rather identify with the "These docs are old and won’t be updated." part of your linked page.

Well, it seems it uses the word "research" quite a lot for what it's doing (first paragraph and last one with "deep research") but does choose some artificially constructed one as …

By having to defend your (thesis)/work like this, the whole piece is getting lifted into academic heights in a way, so you could as well keep calling its result and process researc…

Pretty neat, actually. Thanks for looking uo that link.

That also is similar in a sense to a typical human bahavior of "rounding" a "logical" argument, and then building the next ones on top of that, rounding at each or at least many st…

That missing Playdate phone accessory.

It somehow feels that one has to come up with a tailored strategy for each CVS import that contains decimal numbers, dates and/or other data with dots in them. Most of the time I e…

The promptly emerging Excel-Schmerz reminds me that the author avoided the use of floating point numbers in the provided example for a reason. In german Excel it's might be ok due …

Gov sites issueing warnings about citizen data security seems a bit funny these days. Elon: "Comedy!"

Is this really the action/messaging pattern that Next, Be and then Apple and probably others used about 30 years ago, or did I miss something here. It was useful in a way but basic…

Indeed. fast PWM is a great approach and fits in well with the analog conversion side effects. I still find the principal question of "if I need additional components anyway, shoul…

Due to the missing DAC on the Pico this always runs into that fully discrete vs. resistor ladder/network vs. external dac (i2s or other) decision. Great that the author chose one a…

We did something like that with an Amiga bouncing ball demo (on linux or Macs) back in the day (two decades ago, probably) I think it was using a wide master screen that the termin…

Time to brag.

Love this american dream story between opportunity and mission as well as its great family insights. Would be great to also have one on that boys & girls club where the whole idea …

What a great writeup. I am always interested in these specifics of current design decisions even if I am so not into gaming handhelds. But the questions around display, enclosure, …

They were trained on forum posts and this one also misses tbe opportunity and instead explains and guesses that... Ah, I don't know.

I definitely wouldn't have used " (I must say that I was happy to see/read that article, though)

Did that for a security tool about more than ten years ago. Makes you love that tightly designed engine a bit more. I always thought an explorer or just an base lib would be fun. G…

Now: What do other PDFs do while not outputting anything...

And we finally can sell the unoptimized models as Hires (since I can still read the differences!).
