From Bolts to Volts, Cycles to Stacks!

I just employed a dark millennial magic of directly connecting two laptops with a patch cable, assigning IPs to them manually and transferring files between them. CIA agents are mad. They will never get my files.

It is nonsense to suggest you can’t write any app, of any complexity, in C. I do find a light level of C++ beneficial for many larger projects, but it can also go tragically wrong.

Sometimes, specific language features can be transformative valuable, but not nearly as often as language advocates think, and there is value in writing to an “elder language”.

If you’re building a hard tech company in 2025, you should prioritize getting a massive diagonal elevator platform installed in your HQ to make it easy to descend into the lower levels and access the underground portion of your facility.

Enlightening perspective

[Jessie Frazelle @jessfraz]

A manufacturer without an API is exactly like a cloud provider without an API.

You are thinking, “Jess this is an exaggeration, every cloud provider has an API, few manufacturers do.”

It’s as egregious as if a cloud provider shipped without it. It’s why we are so behind here.

If you are in the US/UK/ANZ at a small co-op/muni & need ICS cybersecurity support (Dragos Platform technology, managed service, and incident response) please feel free to message me directly. Dragos is going to make our capabilities free for the smaller members of our community

Another common question I’m answering working with scaling tech companies is…

Q. What virus infects growing engineering orgs the most?

A. Layerinitis. Let me explain... 🧵 (1/27)

[Philipp Heimberger @heimbergecon]

This is a fascinating chart on the safest and cleanest sources of energy. I was particularly surprised to see the very low death rate of nuclear energy (including victims of Fukushima and Chernobyl) compared to other energy sources.

[KiCad PCB @kicad_pcb]

The KiCad project is proud to announce the release of version 6. Thank you to all the developers who made this possible.

[The Amp Hour Podcast @TheAmpHour]

Want to write better firmware for your next hardware project?

Listen as @mbeddedartistry talks about Continuous Integration (CI) pipelines for firmware projects. Run checks on your code, all the way down to your hardware's power usage on every commit.

@b0rk @derivativeburke Try out wavemon, a TUI based tool for basic network diagnostics. Will list present networks, their signal strengths, security configs etc. Available from most distro’s package managers. Can run it on a laptop then roam the space to gather insights as to dead spots etc

[Morse Micro @MorseMicro]

@MorseMicro is hiring ! Come and work in Sydney, Australia, traversing from the depths of firmware running on custom RISC-V silicon to the internals of embedded Linux systems. https://t.co/wrDRvjxbJJ

[Thomas Flynn @_tlgf_]

Very disappointing @CSIRO @Data61news . Security and determinism are a pipe dream in most systems these days - seL4, echronos are the gold standard. Let’s hope those projects continue to live on.

[Gernot Heiser @GernotHeiser]

Word is out, and unfortunately true: @CSIRO's @Data61news dismantles Trustworthy Systems (TS), the team that shook the scientific world with the first correctness proof of an OS, #seL4. TS staff to reallocate to AI projects or sacked 1/6

@alison_chaiken Sehr schön!

@alison_chaiken Very nice.

[Thomas Flynn @_tlgf_]

Ridiculous and amazing.

[Sam Zeloof @szeloof]

I made what is likely the most homemade blinky PCB ever about a year ago, the DIY chip has far exceeded the expected reliability for garage silicon
