Hard to explain why this is so satisfying: my display driver on Linux -> PCIe -> my FPGA core -> LCD panel

The world’s first microprocessor is *NOT* from Intel. But you won’t find it in many textbooks. It was a secret only declassified in 1998; for good reason. The Garrett AiResearch F14 Air Data Computer was ~8x faster than the Intel 4004, and a year earlier!

I restore old computers, and am always curious how their classic performance compares to modern PCs. Are they a hundred times faster? A thousand? A million? Here are the stats. I wrote a Dhrystone test in K&R C that runs on everything I own, unmodified, from the PDP-11/34

Bravo Apple! I'm tired though, not reimplementing your contacts app in assembly this time

Absolutely Psyched for this game changing bit of kit! I've been following the developments and wow I cannot wait! So much potential outside of PC too, like OG Xbox etc. 👍 #PicoIDE https://t.co/bJ5NHARbAg

The security guarantees of modern TEE offerings by Intel and AMD can be broken cheaply and easily, by building a memory interposition device that allows attackers to physically inspect all memory traffic inside a DDR5 server. Source: https://t.co/jbn7fzlijI

I set the PiStorm Framethrower Github repo public now. I will gradually add more documentation too :P https://t.co/y5ETZUmTsq

I was today years old when I found out that HP had a monthly journal from 1949 to 1998. The design was so beautiful.

You ever think about how much technology is packed into even common things we barely think about? Take the optical computer mouse. A light-based mouse continuously photographs the surface, computes how that texture patch shifted between frames using fast

It was formally verified and ... it crashed the simulation. What went wrong? A 🧵

Some of the most unexpected fallouts of an AWS outage: 1. Postman stopped working: an API development tool built to be an alternative to simple tools like curl. 2. Eight Sleep customers couldn’t use their beds to change positions / set or keep temperature

$4 FPGA development board https://t.co/LeTRmcM9ih The Made-in-India @Vicharak_In Shrike-lite board combines a 1K LUT Renesas Electronics ForgeFPGA with a Raspberry Pi RP2040 microcontroller. It offers two 18-pin GPIO headers, one PMOD-compatible header, a USB-C port for power

An interesting article in the Nov 2025 issue of "IEEE Microwave Magazine" walks through the design of a portable 2.4 GHz CW radar built entirely from COTS parts and an Arduino Nano. Simple and educational; great for students and hobbyists.

Just read this paper that builds the core idea of concurrency control for main-memory OLTP, where CPU/cache and context switches dominate (not I/O). The paper redesigns the storage/concurrency control stack around latch-free structures and multi-versioning so readers never

As of Python 3.14, the free-threaded (or no-GIL) version of the Python interpreter is no longer considered experimental.

I've just written what I think is one of the world's most accurate analog oscilloscope emulator ever... The processing is done entirely on the GPU and runs in real time with minimal GPU usage. As a demo here it is displaying the "Primer" demo by BEC. https://t.co/UVPN6MX56v

Got a new book :)
