By coincidence I re-watched that film this weekend (I like it a lot) and seeing this article immediately made me think of it. Yes, in the film he takes meds, but he stops doing it …

Very interesting! The audio of Tom's Dinner rejected by the encoding sounds mesmerizing to me. I still find it to be musical - it reminds me of a record I bought a really long time…

It all depends on the situation. Here in the Netherlands almost everybody has an PV installation with no way other than the breaker to turn it on and off. Some inverters do have an…

Sure. Of course. Not being allowed to disconnect them would be ridiculous. But do you want to keep an eye on the market every day, and run to the breaker to turn on an off your inv…

Well, until '27, I'm allowed to use the grid as a free battery, basically, this is a kind of government subsidy. But that will end, and the contracts available will be fixed price …

It's nice to have solar panels, I have them too and while they do generate even more electricity than I need, they do so in around 6 to 7 months peaking in July. So in winter, it's…

The thing is though that even with array bounds checking built into the language, out of bounds access due to programming error can still be attempted. Only this time it's safer be…

Mine as well. Sucks that I just went through the required updating of the build (minimum sdk) of my only app on there, a 2016 Java string art app below 2MB with no data collection,…

On my phone, turquoise is green for me, but on my laptop it's blue. I guess that's why it's called turquoise. The same thing happens with the purple spectrum. There's an unlimited …

It doesn't. The spider's name is 'Number 16'. It could be any alphanumeric string.

There are popular embedded platforms like STM32 that don't have hardware double support, but do have hardware float support. Using double will cause software double support to be l…

Me too. I didn't even know about this blockade. I'm using T-Mobile fiber internet and rt.com loads just fine.

What a coincidence, I first saw this video in my YouTube recommends and now here. I used to have an MSX-2, a Philips. It had a double sided 720K 3.5" floppy drive, fhe file system …

From the article: "When we don’t feel confident in our code, it is tempting to attach our sense of self-worth and professional pride to something that can be measured. A set of str…

Very interesting to see this here. I bought the Nike missile control unit years ago from some guy here in the Netherlands and it still sits in my garage. It has cool mechanical gyr…

The case of what is a constant, and whether or not it even really is, is not always clear in C. As an embedded developer (almost always on bare metal), variables declared with the …

Really nice to see this here. I'm in the Netherlands and it has been a tradition in my family and my mother's family to watch this (on tv) on new year's eve. It's been quite a whil…

I switched to Brave a few days ago and have never been happier. The problem with firefox on Android is that it is extremely slow, though apparently not for everyone. Slow in the se…

The oscilloscope works like a vector display (or x-y plotter). A circle can be displayed by feeding a sinewave voltage to the Y input and a cosine to the X input. Adding a voltage …

Looks good. Simple, humble, to the point. It has a certain elegance that I like. It loads fast as well.
