By sticking to the fundamentals, we need nothing from anyone, our software runs everywhere on everything, and it's smaller and faster--and simpler--than everything else.
So this year I learned: Rust: While I'd dabbled in C++ before, it was mostly just a pain, while I found Rust to be a nicer way to work on lower level projects. Ported a game side project I've been working on from Python + Kivy to Rust + Piston, and came out with a nice performance boost. Mypy + SQLAlchemy: So while I have moved some projects from Python to Rust, others are still Python based and so I took the time to…
Is C/C++ knowledge important for learning Rust?

Real World Embedded Systems. Built a dishwasher that cleans and sets your dinner table. C++, Arduino, Electrical Engineering, and worked with a mechanical engineer on the design execution. Here is the story, skip to the bottom if you want to see the youtube video- Started this year working on a finance App, this one needed to be perfect. React Native, Laravel PHP mysql. The app is almost finished, and is worthy of a…
Is this an intelligent joke or a dumb business plan? I kept hearing the words "production" and "prototype", but I see half a dozen holes in a real world implementation. Edit: Since this is being downvoted, here are my thoughts. 1.) Plumbing. Pipes are in the walls. Kitchen tables are (usually) closer to the center of a room. (And who will consider open pipes or tubes across a floor or ceiling?). 1b.) Electrical. Same…
This is not a product being sold. It's a neat fun gadget that was designed purely so parent robertAngst could learn stuff. The gadget is obviously a nonsense device, a Heath Robinson contraption, with no other purpose than to learn stuff while it's being built.

While learning Nodejs, realised that JS isn't the first language anyone should consider for back-end, but really amazed by things JS is capable of doing today.
Would highly recommend Elixir/ Phoenix over Rails , Elixir not only has lesser learning overhead it makes alot of things a lot easier. Concurrency and speed of server are major advantages but I like way language operates. It was also my first functional language and it changed my perspective for programming languages.
Machine Learning. In 2018 I went from "zero to sixty", so to speak. At the beginning of the year I knew nothing about ML, and my math skills had gotten so rusty I couldn't even remember how to do simple derivatives or multiply two matrices. In the first half of 2018 I relearned the college math that I had forgotten by working through MIT OCW's Linear Algebra, Calculus, and Probability courses. In the Fall, I enrolled…
Taught myself the basics of embedded systems, and completed a few projects. Learned circuit design, PCB layout, CAD / laser cutting, and embedded C / C++ in the process. Started with a 555 LED blinker [1]. Then built a desk clock, with a goal of writing a device driver for the LED display from the data sheet of a controller I found on DigiKey. After that, built my own USB keyboard, since I wanted to learn more about…
Great looking circuit boards!
