This is a good article and a fun algorithm. Google made a great series of compression videos a while ago - albeit sometimes silly. For the Burrows-Wheeler one they interviewed Mike Burrows for some of the history. https://youtu.be/4WRANhDiSHM

I wonder if he came up with it when pondering permuted indexes. Which used to be a feature of the man pages system.

We’ve been talking about this for a while, but it’s always fun to revisit in the context of the latest advancements and trends. I always liked the conclusion that Dustin Curtis came to which is: if you can use “your” in the UX it acts like a conversation with the user. This is even more appropriate as UX is becoming literally conversational.

No it isn’t.

Yes it is.

This is really cool! Thanks for making it. I'm going to try it out today with my UV-PRO. I'd be curious to learn how you go about reversing the protocol. That'd make a really interesting blog post.

And then “fat man” came out and that’s all I ever thought of when I saw the logo. https://www.suckatlife.com/pepsiLogoBlowatlife.html

Looks more like a clutch to me. The domain is available. It’s not to late to change names.

I think by definition, a clutch doesn’t have a shoulder strap.

Akiyuki makes infrequent videos, but beautiful LEGO machines.

Akiyuki is well known in the GBC part of Lego.

The Great Ball Contraption is in part a standard that defines how different GBC modules connect, and by following that standard you can have a large number of them, built by different people in isolation, be linked together.

Yoshihito Isogawa makes wonderful little contraptions https://youtube.com/@ISOGAWAYoshihito (collected in several lovely books)

Thanks, I didn’t realize I get these articles with my Apple News subscription.

Yes, depending on the team. We have a legacy Elixir backend that we’ve been breaking into services written in Go. We also have a couple of newer Elixir services. We’d love Elixir experience especially if you are also interested in Go.

I am only good with Server side JavaScript but I am willing to learn GO. Can I still apply? I am a Junior Developer anyways.

Some people have done this, but you need to transplant at least the CPU from an original. Those chips weren’t built for anyone else. https://www.reddit.com/r/Gameboy/s/FEAH2VhBRT

FunnyPlaying recently came out with an FPGA-based version for an affordable price. https://funnyplaying.com/products/fpgbc-kit?variant=40858870...

They also have a new, populated motherboard for the Game Boy Advance, into which you have to transplant the CPU and RAM.

There is a variation on the new-pcb and components approach called the "Ultra Boy Colour" which doesn't require any parts from an OEM Game Boy Color.

It can use a clone CPU that was manufactured (until recently?) for the "GBBoy Colour" (and could also be pulled from the sort of failed SGB-like clone called the "Extension Converter for GB").
