If you are building Rails applications today, you probably use one of these combinations: RSpec + Capybara Minitest + Capybara Rails system tests Maybe Selenium, Cuprite, Ferrum, or Playwright through Ruby bindings These tools are mature, battle-tested, and widely used. So the natural question
This is part three of a series on display consistency in embedded systems. The first two parts were technical. This one is about why the technical parts worked. The picture: ATtiny85 thermometer. Neural network inference. QUAD7SHIFT display. Built from datasheets. He had datasheets. No Stack Overflow. No libraries to install. No AI to generate boilerplate. No tutorials that abstracted away the in
If you've ever used a bottleneck calculator, you've probably seen a simple percentage telling you whether your CPU or GPU is holding your system back. But here’s the truth most people don’t realize: Bottlenecks are not fixed numbers — they are dynamic, workload-dependent behaviors. In this post, we’ll go beyond basic tools and break down how CPU and GPU bottlenecks actually work in real-world scen
