We (and I cannot stress this enough) are so back.
Jumperless V5 lets you prototype like a nerdy wizard that can see electricity and conjure jumpers wherever you want. And the wait is nearly over for this particular superpower, it launches September 23rd on @crowd_supply.
My talk about extending Wave Function Collapse / Model Synthesis is now online. I gave this talk at Everything Procedural 2024. My new work overcomes many previous limitations. It no longer requires tiles. https://t.co/rk3Ni4qSzO.
I'm still in shock the xz backdoor happened.
But even more surprising is that it got caught because a dev noticed login in to his machine via ssh was taking 0.8s instead of the usual 0.3s and decided to look into it.
And he happened to be familiar with the Valgrind situation
An Optical Computer Architecture:
We always hear that future computers will use optical technology. But what will that look like for a general-purpose computer? German researchers explain it in a recent scientific paper. Although the DOC-II used optica… https://t.co/QnXtUebiMN

C23: a slightly better C
One of the established and most popular programming languages is the C programming language. It is relatively easy to learn, and highly practical.
Maybe surprisingly, the C programming language keeps evolving, slowly and carefully. If you have GCC 23 or LLVM (Clang) 16, you already have a compiler with some of the features from the latest standard (C23).

ssh has secrets. Too many to share in one tweet. One of which is how it acts as a serial-line processor for secret keyboard functionality you probably never knew about. For example, why, when you press ENTER and then ~ immediately after, does the ~ not appear right away? Thread…
Ethernet was invented at Xerox Parc in 1973 and became the most popular way to wire computers into a network. AMD made the LANCE chip in 1982, containing most of the interface circuitry. I made a die photo of the chip. 1/11
