It's just exposes a UART (serial port) to USB device. With the right driver you'll get a serial port (ttyUSB, COM port, etc.) in your OS/

It also happened to me. It was a Firefox compatibility issue, it played with Chrome.

This will come in handy. Thanks!

Author here. Ask me anything. Feedback also welcome.

If you want to check how this idea is taken to way more sophisticated levels than this, then check out D's ranges and algorithms. This article only covers the equivalent of input i…

I think he meant that the decoding latency is 1 cycle, not that per 1 cycle the core can only decode one instruction. That is, each baby takes 9 cycles to form, but per 9 cycles th…

I used to use D for larger tasks and Python for quicker ones, like processing some text file and so on. One day I realized that I prefered using D even for those smaller tasks, whe…

Try programming with (std.)ranges and (std.)algorithm's. It's something completely refreshing, replacing a mess of loopy code with a clean pipeline of algorithms. The lazy nature o…

Isn't this (just) dithering noise? AFAIK, the reason it's so effective in the example is that adding the noise helps the quantization process in the posterization better represent …

Thanks! What other items often go together with these aluminum extrusions? Is there a place or a book to learn about this topic, or is it something that people only learn through e…

Do you know what those cloverleaf shaped metal beams are called, and how you can learn more about building hardware prototypes with those kinds of products? I know very little abou…

I've done this exact test in Kerbal Space Program, except that I put the parachutes symmetrically. Also, the parachutes deploy at 500 meters by default. Looking at this and seeing …

Interesting. Belgium shows up so small in the map in that page that I didn't even notice it was bright green, and therefore didn't include it in the title.

I implemented sugarscape some years ago and my findings contradicted the thesis of the book; instead of having some robust emergent results (like a Pareto distribution of wealth, I…

Consider adding a Firewire 800 SATA enclosure. Then you can externally add an SSD or an HD for increased throughput (e.g. put the root on the internal drive, your home on the exter…

Actually, unofficially, the older iMacs support 6 GB (4+2) since the first aluminium iMac (mid 2007, I think) I bought a 4 GB DDR2 DIMM for my Dad's mid 2007 iMac, installed it tog…
