Amazing. The crime and punishment example crashed my iPhone’s Google Chrome when I tap the URL haha


Coming out of deep sleep and Wifi coming back up, I’ve seen upwards of 600mA


The annoying thing is this is only due to "calibration" which can, with some highly esoteric optimisations, be skipped. Depending on the application , this can realise massive gains in peak power, wakeup latency, and even average power. The whole process is hidden in a binary blob though and espressif will not elaborate on it, so it's very challenging to alter.


Wow, jeez, no wonder the USB won't power it...


That's 600 mA at 3.3V. USB should be fine, but of course you need the capacitance to deal with that. Radio PAs can be power-hungry beasts.


For iPad maybe try Delta emulator and the NES version of Tetris


It’s mentioned in the article under the images as the inspiration for this work


The circle is complete


Man I got the first edition of this book and it was so bad. Hopefully this is better…


Currently it's on sales at Leanpub with $19.80 but apparently the ebook with the Golang code is $39:

https://leanpub.com/build_your_own_database_from_scratch/c/L...

To be honest it seems a bit strange to pay for the code since all the source codes to build the database is literally inside the book.


Can you elaborate on why it was so bad?


Check the reviews online, but generally random bits of Go code are presented with no build-up or explanation. B Trees are implemented immediately and without explanation. The book is incredibly short and seems just like a loose collection of notes, rather than an actual book. Very interested to check out the new version


The player character in Bioshock Infinite is a disgraced former Pinkerton. Great game


(2016)?


Let's see Paul Allen's Turing machine


Been using it for months for work and play and haven't looked back. It prevents accumulating tabs infinitely, and has a number of quality of life improvements that I now can't live without


I concur. Strangely enough for me to say — Arc changed the way I look at browsers. The UX is so much different and enjoyable. Not sure I want to get back to another browser after that. Now that I think of it — I might even be ready to pay for it. Yep, the change is that significant to me.
