I’m gonna try one of these Arduino Nano knockoffs: Upgraded /NANO V3.0 ATmega328 Extended Compatible for arduino ATTINY88 Micro Development Board 16Mhz /Digispark ATTINY85. They seem to be an ATtiny88 in an Arduino Nano form factor.
I found this PDF explaining sample rate considerations: What You Really Need to Know About Sample Rate. It’s mostly about how aliasing works and what you can do about it (employ an anti-aliasing low pass filter or oversample by as much as 10x).
This dude’s web site is fun: hobbydebraj. Unfortunately the link that took me there is 404ing now.
I was reading HATS: Automated testing of homebrew amateur radios and I discovered this list of talks by my mate Raz.
I’m reading Fundamentals of Data Engineering: Plan and Build Robust Data Systems, wherein the authors say:
Data is stored in a table of relations (rows), and each relation contains multiple fields (columns); see Figure 5-7. Note that we use the terms column and field interchangeably throughout this book.
There are two mistakes. The first is that tables are relations, rows are tuples. The second is that a field is the intersection of a row and a column, columns and fields are different things.
I have to wonder what business the authors have publishing a book on data engineering while failing to know such basic things.
Today I’m gonna read about the GDPR. *sigh*
I thought this was kinda cute:
…I was searching for the first one! Why don’t we have tails? I was surprised to see it listed first.
It’s fun to see what ends up on the workbench:
I’ve been reading through some of the material at Western Sydney University‘s Online Engagement and Teaching Hub. There’s a wealth of info there. Pedagogy is a passing interest of mine (I am not an expert!), that is, how we can most efficiently get ideas and knowledge out of our head and into the heads of others, with fidelity.
So I read up on Strange Loop. It’s a tech conference which was started back in 2009 and each year’s talks are available in the archive. I can see myself binge watching…
