"when the bit count increases yet again". Maybe I lack imagination, but I doubt we'll be needing to address more than 18EB in personal computers for a while longer than 20 years.

Beating the GPU performance bump from 1080-1990 would be hard indeed...

As someone who one week ago switched from a Debian to NixOS setup, using docker compose, I'd be very interested in hearing more if you have any resources or tips to share. I was ho…

0.5" at 10' wide screen (assuming no letter-boxing). GBA screen is 240x160 pixels.

Also curious what MCUs you're working with to give you this impression? RP2040 is 264k, RP2350 is 520k. I use NXP's rt1060 and rt1170 for work, and they have 1M and 2M respectively…

Maybe this fits the bill? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ARwBwHZESOY

My approach for number 3 is to look at previous months and escrow money for it every month, and then pay it off once the bill comes due. From the accounting side you only see the m…

"I use a single 12k mAh Anker battery bank". Is it really? Or is it a 12G nAh battery bank?

I'm from one of those European countries and still also read it as it taking over a year to boot...

I use a command that'll play a good/bad sound effect based on previous shell command exit code. Something like: function boop() { local last="$?" if [[ "$last" == '0' ]]; then sfx …

Having implemented a custom matrix in qmk, I can say the timescale involved is not something you'd notice a difference between diodes vs diodeless. On ARM boards there's a setup de…

I started my ergo-keyboard journey with a corne. I ended up having issues with the thumb cluster positioning and built my own prototype on new years eve this/last year. That board …

I definitely don't have an inner voice. I certainly can "enable it", for things such as composing this reply. But in general I'd describe it as a stream of thought, not bound to an…

As others have suggested, be kind to yourself. Inspiration comes and goes, and the key is to ride it when it comes. I used to feel a strong need to work on side project early in my…

Threw in a configuration that maps: Right: Step Over Down: Step into Up: Step out A: Continue Start: Toggle Breakpoint Can't say that it feels super useful, but amusing nonetheless…

I built a qmk keyboard with a SNES port, I can debug my code with a SNES controller :]

There are already products doing just that, the Analogue Pocket comes to mind ( https://www.analogue.co/pocket )

Now I'm curious about how you manage to get such large screenshots. I just tried and with a total resolution of 5120x1200 (over 3 monitors) I get a 35x difference between a random …

I always reach for the non-ratcheting screwdriver when working on electronics. I find the ratcheting mechanism on all drivers I've used to have too much resistance and just start s…

I tend to try to work on a project that I have a personal need for. Currently I'm working on a budgeting application. My background is primarily in Desktop application development …

Works on FF desktop (I didn't realize I had to use the arrow keys to navigate at first). Pretty cool :)

A bit OT, but at least for the Game Boy you can pop the cartridge (front of the case off) into a console (GBA is especially good as it only covers part of the cart), power it on an…

Sure, and I'm sure that adds a few cents to the price of those goods. Doesn't negate that it's a good time to not have to pay for gas for personal transportation. I left the US for…

Meanwhile, current gas prices here in Spain is about $8/gal or 2€/L (my native Sweden is even worse at $8.7/gal). Good time to not own a car.

For what it's worth, I'm the kind of person that would pay full price if I saw and clicked the "It's too expensive" button :)
