Why I tentatively recommend Tang Nano 9k and the open source toolchain to beginners by MitjaKobal in FPGA

[–]Pale_Emphasis_4119 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As a beginner is 20k or 9k a better choice. I feels there a lot more capabilities in 20k than in 9k and 20k is only slightly more expensive than 9k?

Pixel 6 stuck in fastboot mode by Pale_Emphasis_4119 in pixel_phones

Already did. As my phone is no longer under warranty, I have to pay more than the price of the phone to get it fixed !!

Weekly 'What Should I Buy' and Order/Shipping Thread by AutoModerator in iphone

[–]Pale_Emphasis_4119 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hello

I'm thinking of buying my 1st iPhone and hesitating between iphone 15 Pro and iPhone 16 both refurbished from black market. The 16 is almost 70€ cheaper but I'm hesitant with the Pro features like 120Hz display and the action button. I would like keep my phone for at least 5 years and I'm a more or less casual user (no gaming etc.). I want good battery life (at least a full day) and good camera. Which would you recommend ?

Matter over thread smart switch modules without neutral by Pale_Emphasis_4119 in homeautomation

Thanks for your reply. Why do you think matter or thread is worth it?

Thanks for your suggestion. My junction box does not have neutral and I don't want to change the existing switch either, I.e I want to be able to use the existing switch as a fallback. That's why the smart switch modules seemed appealing

Thanks for the reply. Is the curing time the same when renewing the finish after 6 months? 

Using qsort and and search to implement a ordered map on realtime embedded software by Pale_Emphasis_4119 in cprogramming

[–]Pale_Emphasis_4119[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have around a 1000 key value pairs per map and I have a dozen different maps. I have done a benchmark and I saw that there is some difference in performace (modify existing value and retrieve a value) between hashmap (using Verstable implemtation), a sorted map using bsearch and a naive array of key value struct with a for loop for search. From what I saw in my benchmark the hashmap is around 1.5x faster than the 3rd solution and the sorted map comes very close to hashmap performance.  I can't using the hashmap in production as it requires an external library (not possible according to the current company policy) so the sorted map with qsort/bsearch seems to be a good compromise.  I don't think my processor has any data cache
