I just successfully used the Cinnado T23 installer on a Q5 and it worked. It did seem to take two tries, but I could have been being impatient.

We used to have Electronics Warehouse here in SoCal (Riverside) I miss them but admit I would rarely go. Selection was definitely better than Radio Shack, but catered to an electro…

This is true, for anybody curious about this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Capture_effect

I'm surprised Greg Bear never came up here. I started with Blood Music, but I've enjoyed many of his books.

Crafting Interpreters is such an amazing work. There's at least one other Rust implementation of lox that I know of ( https://github.com/tdp2110/crafting-interpreters-rs ) (no unsa…

I'd bet they made that function so they had a single place to intervene on text being written, not necessarily for the brevity/aesthetics.

Glad to see this as well. I'm about to hire some C++ developers for embedded work and have never been a fan of this type of interviewing, if only because I know I personally don't …

I had a good experience with AllPCB recently. They even reached out for clarification on an extraneous drl file I had included in the gerbers zip accidentally.

I did the same when I moved into a smaller 1 bedroom and had to choose between having a television or my small apartment woodshop. It's been great.

Do you maintain a 1:1 relationship between reduced state and components? I'm curious because your word choice seems to imply you do and I'm wondering how popular that is if so.

I had always assumed the wrench would come out because the wrench-holder had at least some knowledge about my Bitcoin holdings.

I've driven through Nipton more times than I can count. It's a ghost town, I don't know how people survive there.

Thank you for mentioning JQBX!

Can't agree more. We have an othermill that's come in handy mostly for intermediate boards that involve mashing together other already made boards. We can get boards back from OSH …

Absolutely fantastic book. I was surprised to learn there were a few examples closer to me that I had expected. Of course, their precise locations are usually obscured.

JeeLabs has some stuff on Forth in the uC world: http://jeelabs.org/2016/02/dive-into-forth/

I just took a very quick look at Bazel and saw that Windows support is "Highly Experimental" which concerned me. I've been looking around in this space recently as I'm getting into…

When the first wave of smart watches came out I was shocked to learn that timers weren't core functionality.

Neat. Was just wondering about the Creative Commons Attribution Share-A-Like license with regard to a hardware project and used this to sanity check my interpretation. I also was v…

Agreed, and sorry, didn't mean to imply they were similar arguments at all.

I applaud your efforts to understand this as I'm eager to also. It's a mentality or similar to one I've found myself in deadlock with before. For example, I asked a relative of min…
