Beyond Blinky shows a different path: disciplined, object-oriented design for embedded that keeps performance and control. Distilled from years refining IOsonata’s architecture, it teaches patterns for truly portable drivers—swap I²C↔SPI with a single line—without build scripts or BSPs. Think in a “living architecture”—land, roots, trees, fruit—to grow firmware that scales cleanly across chips and products. To blinky and beyond—Let's make your IO sing!

Born from year one of The Coder Cafe, the newsletter trusted by 3,000+ readers, this contains distills timeless concepts to help you master the fundamentals of software engineering: code health, testing, distributed systems, critical thinking, and more.Written by Teiva Harsanyi, Google SWE and published author, it supports your growth as an engineer, one concept at a time.

This is a work of fiction that attempts to document what might happen if a fictional Wisc senior citizen named Lefty Insider attempts to seek justice against exploitation from a fictional monopolistic corporation, (identified as Charpectrum), through the Federal and State Consumer Protection systems.This fictional tale seeks to imagine what a realistic experience would be like if a well-informed, educated and technically competent persistently stubborn consumer, of German ancestry, sought the protection of government agencies against the financial and marketing exploitation from a rapacious and malevolent incumbent monopoly Internet service provider corporation.This is also a story about elected idiots, liars, fools, incompetents, bureaucrats, and of course is but a fictional story about imagined government run Consumer Protection systems.

Even if you're a total newbie to the world of GPUs, this book will take you from the basics of CPUs to the current world of GPU programming. All you need is some Python experience and a willingness to explore and try the techniques it offers.This book will walk you through the basics of GPU architectures, show you hands-on parallel programming techniques, and give you the know-how to confidently speed up real workloads in data processing, analytics, and engineering.

Build your own IoT projects including, environmental monitors that alert in real time, QR-code generators on tiny screens, ethical jamming demonstrations for protocol study, and alarm clocks that buzz and send notifications at the right moment.

This book is targeted primarily to technologists and policy makers who wish to better serve a demographic of Wisconsin landline Internet (HFC) consumers. (Rural residents in particular)

Fungal Computing: Theoretical, Hypothetical, and DIY Approaches to Building a Mycelium-Based Computer at Home explores the fascinating intersection of biology and computation by examining how mycelium networks can be harnessed for information processing. This book delves into the theoretical foundations of fungal computing, its parallels with neural networks, and the potential it holds as an alternative to traditional silicon-based systems. Readers will journey through the scientific principles behind mycelium as a computing substrate, including its electrical signaling, data storage capabilities, and bio-semiotic properties. The book also presents a hands-on, step-by-step guide to cultivating and building a functional mycelium computer at home, outlining necessary materials, signal processing techniques, and troubleshooting strategies.

In Majorana Unleashed: The Future of Quantum Computing, the groundbreaking work of physicist Ettore Majorana takes center stage, offering a new lens through which to view the rapidly evolving world of quantum computing. This book explores how Majorana’s theoretical insights, particularly his work on fermions, have influenced the development of next-generation quantum technologies.

Free open-source Android apps to create a Linux Live USB installer are tools that let you prepare a USB drive with x86 Linux ISO using just your Android smartphone or tablet, without needing a regular x86 pc desktop computer. These apps, like DriveDroid, UNetbootin, UserLAnd, Linux Deploy, and Termux, allow you to download and transfer a Linux system onto a USB stick, which you can then plug into an x86 PC desktop or x86 laptop to run Linux without installing it permanently.
