Two weeks ago I started to talk about the addition of a new section to the website. It is becoming real, and I'm happy to let you know that it will happen next week. There will be included for our inspiration the inside of the personal lab of an electronic engineer.
Thank you to Sam Zeloof for the header's picture.
Happy reading!

NASA Programmer Remembers Debugging Lisp in Deep Space
I personally love when experimented engineer, like Ron Garret in this article, share their experience in historic projects or on particularly complicated bugs. Something interesting from this article is to see Ron Garret convinced that Lisp should be used more widely at NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory.

High-Throughput, Formal-Methods-Assisted Fuzzing for LLVM
Yuyou Fan and John Regehr describe in this article how they combined fuzzing with a formal verification tool to discover dozens of new bugs in LLVM. I find it enlightening to read how they proceed.
Machine learning benchmarks for embedded systems
MLCommons association is working on these machine learning benchmarks. Among others things they write benchmark submission policies to help the community compare properly their solutions.
Build your own FPGA
Like me you probably already saw/made projects that build CPU from discrete logic. In this article the author builds a FPGA from discrete logic. It's really interesting to discover/rediscover how is made a FPGA. On top of that, the author codes small programs to run on his creation.
