This in my feed today: How Clay’s UI Layout Algorithm Works:
Clay is a UI layout library written in C, and this video gives a high level explanation of how the flexbox-like layout algorithm in Clay works.
This in my feed today: The Pentium contains a complicated circuit to multiply by three.
This post from Julia Evans explains about different types of shells. There’s rather a lot to know!
This is too cool. A core dump then binary patch to work around memory hardware failure 15 BILLION MILES AWAY: How NASA Fixed a Software Bug 15 BILLION MILES AWAY | Voyager 1
Here’s an interesting video about integrating a display with your microcontroller: The BASICS of Adding a Display to Your Arduino, ESP32, STM32, or other MCU Project. The graphics library he recommends is LVGL.
This turned up in my feed today: CSS library based on Counter Strike 1.6 UI. I was particularly interested in how they implemented the tab panels.
This turned up on hacker news today: JTAG ‘Hacking’ the Original Xbox in 2023 – Using Intel CPU JTAG to dump the secret bootrom in Microsoft’s original Xbox. There’s some info being collected on github: github.com/Necrosys/x86-JTAG-Information.
This is good: Time and Space Complexity. If I find myself needing to explain algorithmic complexity to someone I will refer them to this.

In this video we play around with the 2.13″ and 2.9″ WeAct Studio Epaper Modules available here: WeAct 2.9” 2.13″ 2.9 2.13 Inch Epaper Module E-paper E-Ink EInk Display Screen SPI Black-White Black-White-Red.
As I mention in the video I was having a hard time getting good solder joints from my Horusdy Soldering Station. This was annoying me so much that I went and purchased a new soldering iron! My new iron is an Metcal PS-900 Soldering Station and I love it! This is what a soldering iron should be!
We use the Arduino IDE and the sample code from WeAct Studio but we don’t successfully load content into our Epaper Module.
We use the Rigol MSO5074 Mixed Signal Oscilloscope to and the Rigol PLA2216 Logic Probe to wire up a Logic Analyzer to instrument out circuit, but we don’t follow through with that in the end. We run out of time. We will try again another day.
