Descent3 Source Code
Today on lobsters there was a link to the Descent3 Source Code. Very cool.
You can trust this article because it’s written by academics
I just needed to make a note of this unironic statement which I read here:
Claudius Ptolemaeus, Almagestum, 1515
Wow. On Wikipedia you can download a 1515 Latin translation of the Almagest: Claudius Ptolemaeus, Almagestum, 1515.
I was able to read this file on my Debian workstation after installing the package djview4.

In this video I pull the floppy disk out of the cover of my copy of The SCSI Bus and IDE Interface: Protocols, Applications and Programming (2nd Edition).
I have this wonderful old book The SCSI Bus and IDE Interface: Protocols, Applications and Programming (2nd Edition). It was published in 1997 but is still available for purchase through Amazon.
The book comes with a floppy disk (that’s right: a floppy disk!). I had to buy a USB floppy disk drive to read it. I have made the content from the disk available in a tarball, here: scsi.tgz.
If you just want to read the files, those are here:

In this video I take a look at Learning the Art of Electronics: A Hands-On Lab Course by Thomas C. Hayes and Paul Horowitz published in 2016. The book has 1,140 pages and is a companion to The Art of Electronics 3rd Edition.
Some notes about things of interest we noticed in the book:
- Xilinx was an American technology and semiconductor company, now owned by AMD
- the Ebers–Moll model is useful for modelling Bipolar junction transistors
- Hysteresis is the dependence of the state of a system on its history
- Wien’s bridge is used for precision measurement of capacitance in terms of resistance and frequency
- Wilson current mirror is a three-terminal circuit that accepts an input current at the input terminal and provides a “mirrored” current source or sink output at the output terminal
- a Bessel filter is a type of analog linear filter named in reference to Friedrich Bessel who developed the mathematical theory
- the video about the 6502 I watched recently is: The 6502 CPU Powered a Whole Generation!
- the Cypress PSoC is a family of microcontroller integrated circuits by Cypress Semiconductor
