if i published a game on steam that consisted of a "code editor and HDL toolchain behind it (simply works)" & the objective is "implement logic in a real HDL without handrails but with debugger and tutorials" and there is a progression, leaderboard, and achievements

would you play or playtest it?

Have you ever wanted to see a 90 second abridged explanation of how diode lasers work? Here it is.
I took some pictures of a laser under my SEM, and it kind of just scope crept into a whole video. Not perfectly accurate, but it's hard to squeeze 100 books of info into 90 seconds.

Ok let me rephrase this. Games (or puzzles) that use (or misuse) pointers (or other things I don't understand ) as a mechanic.
Are there any games about accessing out of bounds memory on microcontrollers ? Like I'm imagining doing some things in C to intentionally access unallocated memory to print some specific result. Am I making sense ?

The Australian GNU Radio Days event is running September 23-26 in Adelaide, hosted by Flinders University. Three days of talks and workshops followed by breakouts.

Still a little time to submit a talk or booth if you're interested!

GNU Radio is looking for a contractor to either port the existing Qt based GNU Radio Companion application to the web (running proof of concept exists), or to develop a new frontend capable of creating flowgraphs, executing the resulting program, and displaying the UI in the web.

Could that be you?

@angadh.com I really like the formatting of your blog. The typography, suggested soundtracks, clear links, and organizations work well together. I'm enjoying the variety of topics as well. Thanks for sharing your writing!

Found motivation to write some SAR processing code. Fast factorized backprojection generates several small polar format images and then interpolates them to one big image. It's faster, but has slightly worse image quality due to all the interpolations.

I added a sideways looking GoPro camera to my radar drone. Just tested it the first time and it looks very nice.

Sylvain Munaut has created a basic software-defined radio the hard way — by combining two open-silicon projects submitted for production on two Tiny Tapeout shuttle runs: an analog-to-digital converter and a radio-frequency mixer.

While the resulting SDR won't be winning any awards for performance or features, it's a great example of Tiny Tapeout's flexibility.
