Released the first version(s) of `ergot`, my network stack, on crates-io: docs.rs/ergot/latest... It is very much NOT ready for use, but I'm starting to put the first coat of docs paint on it, in the hopes that it makes it a bit easier for others to contribute (or at least follow along!).

HyperCard is one of the earliest intros to programming I ever had, before I really knew what programming meant. The story of Atkinson writing HyperCard after an LSD trip is the main reason my netstack is called "Ergot". RIP to a real one.

This is a very good read and cuts deep on a lot of topics I agree wholeheartedly with. The whole "reactionary conservatism of the median programmer" is perfect.

My sincere take on generative AI is: why on earth would you want a plagiarism machine to live your life? To get to think, write, or speak for you?

submitted 27 days ago • 2 comments

We not only taught a machine to bullshit, but told it to optimise for us not being able to tell the bullshit apart from fact. This is exactly what it was designed to do, and I hate it.

If you had a heap allocator for ~400KiB of SRAM, on a 32-bit dual-core MCU (assume the heap is shared w/ both cores), with atomics (I'm talking about the RP2350), what kind of allocator algorithm would you use? Either knowing ~nothing about usage patterns, or what would you use for what patterns?

I think this is a huge thing about why embedded dev in Rust is so pleasant too, compared to all the flavors of make, and/or rtos-specific build tools. Also, that basically everyone is using the same tooling makes a huge difference, even if the tooling isn't always perfect.

Hot take: The existence and ubiquity of Cargo is just as consequential, if not more so, to real-world productivity vs. C/C++ than anything regarding Rust's type system or borrow check. The former isn't nearly as fun to argue about on message boards, though.

It's very cool to see postcard outside of embedded, especially when it puts up impressive numbers like this, being only 12% of the size of JSON (5% when pretty printed!), and only taking 17% (12% when pretty printed) of the time to encode/decode. If it's fast on MCUs, it's gunna be fast on PCs too!

Speaking of which, I’ve been wondering when the next new batch of interesting languages is gonna appear. Like it’s been ten years since the go/rust cohort came up. A lot of current up-and-coming languages have been up-and-coming for a while, when are we gonna see some fresh faces?

Anyone planning to build some in-house test/dev/prototype hardware sometime soon? The original plan for Poststation was to build something like that with some off the shelf I/O cards, and working on my embedded world demo has been fun. Data acquisition, HIL test, automation, I/O control, etc.
