Arduino Power consumption measurements between Delay and Sleep

These are a bunch of docker commands that I find useful for keeping things tidy. Remove all orphaned images. These are the images tagged as <none>. docker images -q --filter "dangling=true" | xargs docker rmi Delete/remove all stopped containers. Note that -v option; it will also delete any persistent volumes that belong to the stopped containers. docker ps -aq --filter "status=exited" | xargs docker rm -v && docker ps -aq --filter "status=created"

I have recently switched to a MacBook Pro as my daily driver. One of the first things I noticed was that there was no maximise button on application windows, only a fullscreen option that hides the top status-bar. A quick google search told me that double clicking the title-bar or holing down ALT while clicking in the Green Icon would maximise the window instead of making it go fullscreen. Which is great! only it isn’t :( What that actually does is make the window wide enough for it’s content, but that does not usually mean full screen width.

For my latest javascript/threejs experiment I created a retro 1980’s inspired demo, which renders hundreds of sprites in a pseudo 3D style that was common in the Atari ST and Amiga demos of the late 80’s. Of course, no retro demo would be complete without a retro soundtrack. For my Retro Particle Demo this would be a short track that loops continuously. My initial attempt used the html5 audio tag: <audio id="demomusic" src="audio/music.mp3" type="audio/mpeg" loop></audio>

A list of machine emulators completely written in JavaScript that I find to be both impressive and interesting. Writing an emulator in any language is difficult and requires some serious programming chops. But to do it in JavaScript must surely require a level of programming genius (or maybe madness - I hear it’s a fine line!) that us mere mortals can only dream of aspiring to. These are my favourites that I’ve stumbled across, catalogued here so I can easily find them again whenever I feel the need for a retro computing fix…
