Broadcom Inc. bought Broadcom Corp. in 2015 (and presumable got its name from it).

Notable examples in Seattle include the Burke-Gilman trail, the Sammamish River trail, and close by the Snoqualmie River trail, etc.

FWIW, there is a whole chapter (17 in the first edition, 20 in the third/current edition, don’t have a second edition in front of me but would be surprised if it didn’t have one) on Partial Differential Equations. It’s about 50+ pages in the first edition and 70+ in the third.

But I take your point, the chapter does admit to being intended as “the briefest possible useful introduction” and notes that the topic would require another volume entirely dedicated to it.

Yes, it’s those characters (in Kanji/Japanese), in Hanja/Korean it would have been 發射, the glyph for the first character is different even though it’s the same ideograph in Unicode (due to Han unification).

https://en.m.wiktionary.org/wiki/發 shows each of the three variants for CJK.

FWIW, they're shouting '발사' (balsa), i.e. launch/fire, not 'banzai'.

> Some of the bigger places will use SolidWorks (which is what 95% of my CAD experience is in), but the price there is way out of the range of someone just trying to learn.

FWIW, SolidWorks does have a low cost option ($99 a year):

And arguably there also features included in the above that are not available in the free version of Fusion 360 (available in the paid version, which has similar licensing costs to full blown SolidWorks).

FWIW, not just naturalized citizens, if you expand the 'Foreign Nationals' entry under 'Who can't contribute' in [0] it expands to:

An individual who is not a citizen of the United States or a national of the United States and has not been lawfully admitted to the U.S. for permanent residence, as defined in 8 U.S.C. § 1101(a)(20); or ...

Suggesting that you can also donate if you have permanent resident status (aka 'green card holder'), regardless of citizenship.

Apologies if am misreading the last paragraph, assuming it meant that it's hard to find the Pico, that was the case for a while but the situation is now much better, e.g. Adafruit has 56 in stock: https://www.adafruit.com/product/4883

Admittedly, this is $1 more expensive than the $4 baseline board since it also comes with headers.

Just checked and DigiKey has about 17K in stock ($4 Raspberry Pi Pico): https://www.digikey.com/en/products/detail/raspberry-pi/SC09....

And that's leaving aside the slightly fancier boards that have the RP2040 and cost around $10, e.g. Adafruit Feather RP2040 etc.

The chip itself is not in any shortage, e.g. DigiKey and Mouser have tens of thousands/thousands in stock, etc.

What’s worse is that even ‘See All’ does not list all episodes, e.g. am seeing it go back only as far as episode, say, 48. And the UI does not have affordances for navigating easily in that scenario either.

The Raspberry 3 Model A+ only has 512MB of RAM, so whilst the above might be 'technically correct', it doesn't seem like that would work in practice, at least on this one (the other types of Model 3 (and the 4s) do have 1GB RAM or more.

Am assuming that the reference to Raspberry Pi 3 and 4 might have been made without considering the above Model since otherwise there would be no need to exclude the Zero models, which also have 512MB of RAM.

Seconded, here is the link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2sjqTHE0zok.

A more generic equivalent seems to be PyFlow: https://wonderworks-software.github.io/PyFlow/.

GNU Radio is targeted to a specific domain and the collection of existing nodes reflects that, similar tools exist for other domains, e.g. for CAD there is Sverchok which works with Blender: https://nortikin.github.io/sverchok/.

https://pysdr.org/ is a good introduction to DSP/SDR using Python.

In terms of hardware, there is a large spectrum, from inexpensive RTL-SDR (receive only, ~$25), PlutoSDR (transmit and receive, $229, which PySDR covers) all the way to $x000+ for USRP etc.

Most of the major Italian newspapers' websites have paywalls but most libraries provide free online access to thousands and thousands of magazines and newspapers.

E.g. my local library system (here in US) uses PressReader and it has the Corriere (one of the major Italian newspapers) as well as 'Gazzetta dello Sport', 'Libero', 'Il Foglio', 'Il Tempo', '24 Ore' (economy news, similar to FT, down to the page color), etc.

Most daily newspapers would typically have weekly sections on specific topics, e.g. Corriere has 'Scienza e ambiente' etc. As for technical jargon, on the magazine front and on the same site, you can find the Italian edition of Wired as well as several other magazines on Windows, Mac, Linux, etc.

Specifically relevant for your use-case, one of the monthly magazines is 'Hacker Journal'.

Having said that, the UX of the PressReader site is workable but not great (you can get the 'full fidelity' view but it requires a lot of scrolling around to read, or you can use a 'text' view that is more accessible).

Several issues seem to be on archive.org so you don't even need a library account for that: https://archive.org/details/hackerjournal_italian.

‘Starting’ by making ricotta seems a bit odd in that ricotta (like Mysost, as per link above) is made starting from by-products of making other kinds of cheeses in the first place (fresh/sweet whey).

One would imagine starting from something like paneer would be more practical, no rennet needed etc.

Anyway, second the recommendation on trying cheese-making, if anybody is looking for book recommendations, ‘The art of natural cheesemaking’ (David Asher) seems like a good starting point.

Caesar's Mushroom (Amanita cesarea [1]) can also be eaten raw, if you're making a list.

Note that it's not present in US/Canada which do have the common (and commonly considered poisonous) fly agaric (Amanita muscaria [2]), which can appear a lookalike to the untrained eye.

As advised in other replies, your local mycological society is likely to organize course on identification, foraging field trips, run id clinics, etc. so a good initial step for folks wanting to know more would be to look for local expertise.

The book describes and analyzes the globalized commodity chains of matsutake mushrooms.

Ford Edge (US market) has this too when in 'automatic' mode for the lights. It seems to work reasonably well though it sometimes lags a bit so other drivers probably find it somewhat annoying.

Well, with Rust tooling that automates the creation of crates from these 'core description files' (aka CMSIS SVD, System View Description), there is a large interest from other CPU vendors too so SVD seems to have become a de facto standard. For example, Espressif has SVD definitions for their CPUs (e.g. ESP32), which are definitely not ARM: https://github.com/espressif/svd, etc.

Somewhat related, it does not seem too expensive (~$100 per chip, minimum *50) to get an ASIC done (purely from a fab perspective and ignoring the large elephant in the room of coming up with a design in the first place), e.g. see https://www.zerotoasiccourse.com/ (no affiliation).

As for the design, one way is to re-use existing IP and join it together, e.g. see https://efabless.com/ etc.

Conversely, ARM2 had, for example, a barrel shifter, immediate constants, every instruction being conditional, etc., all of which are absent from 8086.

For anybody thinking of getting the Davinci Resolve Studio (full version), you can buy the hardware editor (Davinci Resolve Speed Editor) and get Studio for free. The hardware is the same price as buying Studio on its own so it seems a no-brainer.

The old VLSI Technology Inc (later Philips, now NXP) reference manuals for one of the first ARM processors (the one used in the Acorn Archimedes 305, 310) mentioned that the algorithm used for cache eviction was not something relatively predictable like LIFO or FIFO but essentially random. Which in theory means that if you were 'unlucky' then your program would run slower than for a luckier person etc.

And in parts of Canada apparently you have to pay additional taxes if you buy an EV, i.e. there are disincentives as opposed to incentives. Sold as being an effort to balance the lack of revenue from EVs skipping the various taxes on gas. E.g.: https://electrek.co/2021/10/04/canadian-group-satirizes-sask....

Wouldn't most libraries nowadays allow paying fees online? KCLS (King County Library System in Washington) allows that for example. You can maybe try looking at it from another angle and feel proud of supporting your library by giving them money...

From a mainstream perspective, there are mixed mode ICs that contain a bunch of analog components (op amps, comparators, etc.) and allow you to configure them digitally. E.g. the whole PSoC series from Cypress (formerly, now Cypress is part of Siemens).

Slightly less mainstream, there is the concept of FPAA (field programmable analog array), which is the equivalent of an FPGA but for analog instead of digital.

What will happen to WSL 1? Will it be abandoned? We currently have no plans to deprecate WSL 1. You can run WSL 1 and WSL 2 distros side by side, and can upgrade and downgrade any distro at any time.

The 'Fantastic Fungi' movie (available on Netflix, https://www.netflix.com/title/81183477 and likely other places too) has some awesome mushroom timelapse sequences too, as well as being generally interesting if you want to know more about mycology.

There are various efforts in this area, e.g. see https://osfpga.org/, https://openfpga.readthedocs.io/ etc.
