  How to get the #SparkFun #Artemis #Ambiq #Apollo3 #microcontroller devboard #hardware up and running wih #Arduino (1.8.19 or thereabouts, not 1.0.x or, really, 2.x, though that does sort of work)

• Essay (cs.utexas.edu):

  #PDF #paper on “understanding data abstraction”

• Item (news.ycombinator.com):

  something about #health and #myopia and red light? JAMA blocks TeleCentro's IP so I can't tell easily

• PCF (github.com):

  #CircuitPython implementation of the #PCF #font #file-format; there's also a #BDF implementation. MIT-X11-style license.

• (stackoverflow.com):

  ImageMagick can render text into an image and produce XBM or XPM output, which are suitable for using with #include in a #C program. It can use both #TrueType outline fonts and bitmap formats like #BDF or #PCF. This is potentially a kludgy alternative to understanding the #font #file-format
