"Back to BASICs" #2: simple graphics. PEEK(ing) and POKE(ing) values from and to video memory locations allows programmers to draw on-screen. Pixel colors can be specified READing from DATA.
I enjoyed realizing #PyConIT2025 logo as a tribute, using #Python to read pixels from an image to generate DATA values (as a matter of fact, it's possible to generate the entire program!).
🎯 Back to my quantum experiments!
Over the past few days, I’ve been trying to tackle the n-queens problem with a quantum approach, using the Quantum Approximate Optimization Algorithm (QAOA) and Qiskit. ⚛️💻
To make it work, I had to reframe n-queens as an optimization problem - breaking it down into a set of constraints and an objective function. I really like how quantum computing pushes us to rethink traditional problems in different ways.💡
"The late night tinkering projects #18: Matter protocol on a budget"
I'v been diving into the world of Matter protocol! 🏡✨ Initially, I thought I’d need to buy (or build!) a Thread border router just to get Matter-over-Thread up and running. But guess what? You can skip the extra hardware and roll with Matter-over-WiFi using just an ESP32 board! 💡 No additional gadgets required, just your phone! 🚀#IoT #MatterProtocol #ESP32 #SmartHome
