I maintain a few applications for Garmin's ecosystem in Monkey C and I share the same sentiment. While Lua's syntax might "feel weird" to some, it has standard tooling (language se…

I went to high school when cell phones were common and most students had them. But, at least at my school, if you had one out during class it was instantly confiscated and returned…

I don’t think this is discussed enough when PLCs are compared to other embedded systems (such as this product). Through a PLC’s IDE, which is almost always proprietary software pro…

This reminds me of the Twinkle iOS app by Tapulous. It worked a lot like Twitter, except you only saw posts from within a certain radius. There's now an unrelated dating app of the…
