A novel concept for a fully digital particle detector, G. Casse et, al. Journal of Instrumentation. https://iopscience.iop.org/article/10.1088/1748-0221/17/04/P04010 Make an SRAM chip that is very vulnerable to Single Event Upsets from radiation, so you can detect particles by looking for bitflips :blobcatgiggle: I think this is not the first time this trick is used.

An Eurorack music synthesizer chassis sounds like the perfect format for anyone who wants an analog computer remake project. Both are designed for knobs and patchcords. #electronics

I still can't forget how people trolled Outlook back then... Outlook used to display the header X-Message-Flag as a GUI banner message, so we had... X-Message-Flag: WARNING!! Outlook sucks :blobcatgiggle:

@niconiconi this reminds me of the early versions of iOS when you used to be able to trigger notifications on other people's iPhones by sending a text with *go at the start 😁

@niconiconi I never really understood outlook messages. They appear to be E-Mail. Outlooks feels like failed https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Embrace,_extend,_and_extinguish

I posted a web tutorial about how to build oscillator circuits... ...It keeps receiving positive feedback.

Q: What do software maintainers say when they're asked to sign an existing version with an added backdoor? A: We'll just resign.

Thyristors arrived. Standard TO-220 packages, but they should be okay for a oneshot pulse up to 100+ amps, good enough for my surge generator to blow things up without blowing up itself. ⚡ #electronics

still waiting for the new isolated DC/DC converters to arrive (I already have some but cannot find them anymore) before I can start the pulsed power experiments... It's not technically required but I assume allowing 200 volts to flow back into your logic circuits really isn't a good idea... #electronics

@niconiconi I'm with you except I more often start by working on sub-task 5 or 6.

#TIL Unlike ISO and IEC standards, most ITU standards are free to the public! All ITU-T Recommendations are published at https://www.itu.int/rec/T-REC/en You can find all the familiar names: V.92, X.25, X.509, or H.264 (800 pages) There are even epub files for some new documents. #electronics
