WebAssembly is a new way of dividing computing systems into pieces and of composing systems from parts. https://wingolog.org/archives/2024/01/08/missing-the-point-of-webassembly
With the portable Li-Ion battery powered FM radio receiver you can listen to your favourite radio station. This device is equipped with cost-effective components, including a CH32V003J4M6 32-bit RISC-V microcontroller, a RDA5807MP FM radio tuner IC, an audio amplifier (TC8871 or XPT8871), a 128×32 pixel OLED display (SSD1306), and a Li-Ion battery charger (TP4054 or…
But maybe the Pi 5 will be better! Looking at the spec sheet, things seem promising: “between two and three times” the CPU and GPU processing power of the Raspberry Pi 4, faster interfaces for storage including the option for an internal PCIe SSD, and support for a pair of 4K displays running at 60…

We are entering into the next phase of the digital technology revolution. Passive consumption is no longer cutting it. We need to be active and critical users. [Amish communities] designate a few community members as nerds who can try out a technology and report back on how it changed their families and their focus. The…
There’s nothing fun about a Sisyphean task unless you’re watching one being carried out by someone or something else. In that case, it can be mesmerizing like this Arduino-driven kinetic sand table.
I have learned so so much from watching Ben Eaters videos…
