Opinionated in a funky-fresh, nerdy, non edgy kinda way.
Sorry about the longposting on main.
Interested in #blackculture, #linux, #c, #embedded, #computerengineering, #cats and the other great things about life.

Andrew "buinnie" Huang's Dabao, which I wrote about back in January, is now crowdfunding: under $10 (plus shipping, admittedly) for a microcontroller board built around the Baochip-1x - a #RISCV part with "mostly open RTL," and packaged in a way you can peer beneath the silicon's surface with an infrared torch and a modified inspection camera.

Been scratching my #retrogaming itch with some #wasm4 development, and it's been pretty great! It is honestly a great tool for easing people with some #gamedev experience into #baremetal programming (with all the direct memory access and whatnot), honestly feels a bit like programming an #embedded #microcontroller with a really good library.
The semester is starting again soon though, and so I may have to abandon recreational #coding for a while :(
"I'm going to take my music, my culture, where I'm from and mix it with this language that I love so much, which is jazz."
After a decade of musical soul-searching in New York, Puerto Rican bassist Alex ‘Apolo' Ayala found his voice by embracing his cultural roots and the jazz tradition. His sophomore album reveals an artist now "unapologetic" about his musical message.

I managed something that is (I think), very cool
It's not flashy, but basically I managed to write a simple MQTT client based on the Eclipse Paho library. It is an async sub/pub client that: 1. sends data it recieved on the topics it is subbed to to other processes via Unix Domain Sockets (UDS) with a custom message struct and 2. recieve messages from other processes via UDS and publish them on a topic.
There is some more cool stuff too, like the memory management is all made using Arena Allocators (Linear Allocators) and stack memory. This means that the program has a very predictable memory footprint and is very very fast, since the memory layout is cache-friendly.
It is not yet finished, there are a lot of debug statements and global variables that I would like to eliminate on the future, but alas classes are starting again soon, and I am moving this week, so I won't have much time for coding in the foreseeable future.
But it is mine, and I made it, and for someone who had not much more than Programming 101 - level experience with C a couple of weeks ago, this is really rewarding.
