Teensy 4.1 uses an imxrt MCU - a crossover chip that is considerably fast. The ESP32 is slow in comparison, more aligned with IoT applications than realtime processing.

This battle has been happening for a better part of a decade and won’t seem to go away. Every time it’s defeated it seems to pop back up.

100K is easy to break as a freelancer. You'll obviously have more things to consider - multiple clients, accounting, legal and potential downtime, but its totally doable. I think e…

S in the acronym IoT stands for security

Australians are able to fund their retirement with it, why wouldn’t Germans be able? The main advantage that it works with both a growing population, but also a shrinking one

The solution to the encumbered pension fund is to transition to privately run retirement schemes like the superannuation scheme of Australia. The problem with Germany today is that…

It’s really incredible how YouTube shapes the zeitgeist today. Hype cycles and their “movements” should be avoided like the plague. At the end of the day if you want to gamble, buy…

I don't think efficiency is synonymous with frontend development. Words that come to mind - technical debt, framework lock in and dependency hell. Just to name a few.

DMA, because the buffer can be linked to a designated RAM section, and it needs to be declared as a static mutable. There would be many examples when code is running at lower level…

All embedded applications and libraries can be declared with no_std, removing the std dependency and heap allocation. Shared libraries are also possible.

Its really had a significant impact on my usage. Its laggy and incorrectly interprets events or even worse wont register them at all - such a fundamental aspect of using the device…

I enjoyed this one too. I remember reading about the NOP sled and it blowing my mind

> Most things "just work" I find it pretty hilarious that in 2023 this can still be a selling point. Don't get me wrong I ran arch on a thinkpad for a long time so I can appreciate…

I think the embedded book kind of teaches at a very fundamental level, prioritizing safety. It teaches you to use a mutex and critical section when accessing a global variable, whi…

Opposite experience for me. Writing Rust on embedded systems greatly improved my confidence and speed. When using C a small mistake often leads to undefined behaviour and headaches…

“It takes about 2 hours to boot to bash prompt ("init=/bin/bash" kernel command line). Then 4 more hours to boot up the entire Ubuntu ("exec init" and then login). Starting X takes…

Wow bravo!

Totally, but for how long? KiCad keeps getting significantly better, and there are no insane licensing requirements. KiCads open format is much better for small business, freelance…

You frame this like its a grand plan by the globalists to usher in a NWO. We know the conspiratorial MO. No surprises here.
