> There is a long way to go from here. Kim Walisch's primesieve can generate all 32-bit primes in 0.061s (though this is without writing them to a file)

Oh, come on, just use a bash indirection and be done with it. It takes 1 minute and you had another result for comparison

Well, it's a bit of a chicken and the egg, no? Microcontroller won't work without a (most likely) crystal oscillator or something to act as a clock signal.

Now that I think about it, no, it's not even cheaper as XTALs are quite pricy compared to other discrete components.

I didn't mean to be rude - I interpreted the comment as "Would you like to build an (insert random object here)? Well, you can just BUY it and be done with it" - may not be as I put it (dumb) but certainly... simplistic and purpose-defeating

What intrigued me was the "just use a microcontroller" comment at the bottom of the page - I genuinely don't know if it was pinned because it's a joke, a genius idea or just top 10 dumbest comments of 2025

Since you're actively using it - how's performance in Perl 6? Are the rumors that it's slower true or exaggerated?

Falstad's circuit simulator helped me become the engineer I am today. It's an internet gem if you ask me
