In early 2021, Raspberry Pi released the pico microcontroller, which is quite affordable at just over 100 Taiwanese dollars. One interesting feature of it is PIO, which allows the implementation of different communication protocols using specialized assembly language and architecture without consuming the resources of the main processor.
WebGL does not support lines with a lineWidth greater than 1. Even Three.js does not have support for adjustable line widths. Therefore, I started working on my own implementation for lines.
This book feels like it will eventually be translated into Chinese. While there is currently only a Japanese version, I want to share my reading experience with everyone. This book is thick, with over 700 pages, and is even referred to as the "#BluntInstrument" in Japan. It has also made it onto the bestseller list. The content inside is very substantial and is suitable for beginners who want to learn a subject thoroughly but don't know where to start.
When browsing the web, we often use subdomains to differentiate the content of services. However, determining whether a website is a subdomain or if two websites are SameSite is not as straightforward as it may seem.
shiki is a package that provides syntax highlighting for code. It is relatively newer and less well-known compared to other packages like highlightjs and prismjs. The main reason is that it supports a wider range of languages and is easier to configure. It also comes with a good variety of built-in themes, making it convenient to replace prismjs.
In frontend applications, it is common to encounter a situation where the displayed value is calculated by combining other values or undergoes some calculation before being inserted into the UI. Usually, this type of processing can be simplified using `useMemo` to reduce code complexity.
I have always been accustomed to using the terminal by directly switching tabs through the tab feature of iTerm2. There is nothing wrong with doing so, but ever since I discovered the advantages of `tmux`, I have moved all my terminal operations to tmux.
Before the advent of technological singularity, it is feared that the Earth will soon be unable to sustain the global economic system. Perhaps we are able to maintain our current way of life simply because we live in more advanced countries and are positioned at the top of the supply chain. However, upon closer examination of various signs, it becomes increasingly worrisome.
From NAND logic gates to Turing completeness, everything is self-assembled by pulling circuits and assembling components. This game turns the writing of code into drag-and-drop logic gates through visualization, making it easier for players to observe the changes in truth tables in real-time.
Recently, the term NFT has become a trend, and everyone is rushing to "collect" them. However, there are often misunderstandings, so here are some common misconceptions.
Linear output is the foundation of the functioning of an economic system; exponential output can change human lifestyles.
This article is only intended to express personal opinions and thoughts and has no intention of criticizing industry peers. I believe that the frontend field (referring to web development) is gradually maturing, with frontend frameworks adopting a component-based approach and responsive mechanisms, combined with framework-specific syntax, development practices, and philosophies, which can handle most usage scenarios.
A group of engineers is researching how to reverse engineer running a native Linux kernel on Apple M1.
Ignoring these factors, developers who write code using monospace fonts still make up the majority. This article aims to share some of the monospace fonts that have been used in recent years.
Mental models refer to our cognitive processes of how we anticipate the development of things or how things will operate. It may sound a bit academic. For example, when we see a button UI on the screen, we expect that this UI is clickable and that clicking it may trigger a series of events. Therefore, when users find that this UI is not as expected, they may feel confused.
Taking this opportunity to try out the pinnacle of the keyboard world, and also a dream for many engineers - the HHKB. I purchased it and have been extremely satisfied with it up until now. I will share my experience with everyone here. In this post, in addition to my thoughts on the HHKB, I will also introduce the principle of the capacitive keyboard without contact points.
For software engineers, the unique culture, environment, and salary in Japan are not their top choices. Many software engineers who work in Japan do so simply because they have a liking for Japan. Therefore, I will not discuss salary and Japanese corporate culture here. Instead, I will focus on the current concerns I have about Japanese society.
We often say that we should listen to the voices of grassroots personnel because they are the ones who are actually doing the work. The same goes for development. However, being a Tech Lead requires more than just understanding the code itself. It is important to have a comprehensive understanding of the entire project. Here are a few areas that I think are very important.
Taiwan has been affected by the epidemic and has entered the third-level alert status. Some companies have also started implementing remote work. As someone who has been working remotely since last year, perhaps I can share some experiences.
In this project development, the planning team had a requirement to dynamically update the data by calling APIs on the previously static Landing Page. Additionally, as the interactivity of the page increased, the original combination of pug+webpack+jQuery for static pages was no longer sufficient. Therefore, we introduced next.js in the development of the new version and embarked on a journey of server setup and troubleshooting.
