using a modern computer on the internet is like you've got this amazing studio workshop library full of tools and stuff, workbench space all over the place, and you're gonna put it all to use any minute now - except you just can't stop staring out out one dingy window at these people screaming at each other in the street
Its the that time of the year again, when the otherwise green/grey fields of The Netherlands get filled with bright colorful tulips. #Netherlands #tulips

Got my FOSDEM2021 t-shirt, the logo is on point 👌. #fosdem
Seeing companies preying over the OVH incident gives me the chills. Marketing done very wrong. Scaleway 👎#ovh #scaleway #marketing

I assumed that if GPT-3 generated pickup lines, they would be terrible because they would be something like human pickup lines. Instead, they are terrible for more delightful reasons.

Managing an airport in Antarctica with a runway made of ice presents all sorts of unique challenges. Here’s how the Norwegian Polar Institute keeps the airfield at Troll Research Station ready to operate all year round. flightradar24.com/blog/troll-res… pic.twitter.com/z6oPGED9pr #flightradar24 https://twitter.com/flightradar24/status/1367496137859604486
On this video, its me using STM32CubeIDE, connected directly to the board vis USB in debug mode, manipulating -directly- the register on the board that controls the green led to turn it off and on 🤯. Might not seem much from the video, but just taking in the fact that you can manipulate the CPU and its peripherals directly like that is something that amazes me.

So, I have been wanting to learn embedded development for years, and this year I decided to do so, wasn't very happy with the whole proprietary experience of Microchip and ended up following the advice of a good friend and look into the stm32 boards.
Bought one and installed their free and open-source IDE, been following a course in Udemy for embedded development and I am astonished by how powerful and easy the tools are! #foss #stm32 #embedded 1/n

Please note, despite the keynote mentioning the t-shirt shop, we still have some issues with the t-shirt sales. So please refrain of trying to order a t-shirt yet. We'll report later when it's up... This year there is no rush as there are no limits to the amount of shirts :)
