KivyMD has a good selection of Material Design compliant widgets for Kivy. It does for Kivy what MUI does for React.

Kivy gives you a pretty good separation of logic and UI with its declarative yaml-like kv files. For me, it conceptually feels a lot like developing in React.

I've made React applications using Python via Transcrypt, but wrap component functions in a Python decorator that make direct calls to React.createElement() instead of using JSX (example: https://github.com/JennaSys&#x2

That's been my experience too. I wish the MicroPython plugin for PyCharm was as good as what Thonny offers.

I've had the best experience with Thonny working with MicroPython. I'm amazed at how seamless updating files and even flashing MicroPython on devices like the ESP8266 and Pico is. I do miss the Python coding experience of PyCharm

Is this related to the IDOM project? It seems similar in concept. https://idom-docs.herokuapp.com/docs/index.html

I used GWT a long time ago and it was great for being able to write a complex algorithm that had to run on the server as well as in the browser. It saved a lot of time and trouble, and you always knew that the version running on the server

The ugliness is something I struggled with a bit when I was first using Transcrypt to create React applications with Python. Even though that approach is more of a 1-to-1 Python-to-JS mapping instead of a Python wrapper, I felt all the call

Same thing happened to me. I got to a point where I had to conclude that the issues with the CEO was not something I could fix and I had to walk away knowing that I'd likely lose everything I had invested in the company. And I eventual

I agree. I've been using Transcrypt to create React applications using Python. It allows you to take advantage of existing JS libraries and bundlers but still code in Python. I have to say, it has been really nice not having to switch

It sounded like the purchase of the 5 Pi400s ended up being covered by the library system, but the guy teaching still provided his time and curriculum. I'd imagine getting budget approval for $500 in hardware is a lot easier than gett

For a lucky few, there are a some Micro Center brick & mortar stores around that have a surprisingly up-to-date and diverse selection of electronic components and tools stocked. They are doing what Frys should have done when the mark

I know CP has it's own internal way of handling interrupts for specific libraries, but I find it odd to think about embedded programming without having direct interrupt support.

This just reminded me of the Horrorstör book I've had on my reading list for a while now: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/1594745269

I started buying from Sweetwater decades ago. Their customer focus is beyond any other retailer I've bought from. My in person GC experience OTOH was always the opposite of that.

People with NPD almost never undergo any therapy for it. They literally don't see anything wrong with themselves. Quite the opposite actually, they are forever the victim of everyone else. OTOH the number of victims of narcissistic

There are CEOs that are narcissistic, and there are CEOs that have NPD. The first will be awful to work with, and the latter will destroy your life if you hang around long enough. This is from first hand experience. I placed myself in-betw

I agree with the premise here in general. There have certainly been times when I've wanted to accomplish something, but then I see someone else being exceptional at that task and I stop wanting to do it because I know I'll never b

Some Python IDEs like Thonny and PyCharm can seamlessly do file transfers for you over serial. Thonny has actually been a great tool for that on ESP boards. This was one of the reasons CircuitPython was forked from MicroPython. Adafruit w

You have to find the version of MicroPython that has specifically been ported to your board. In addition to the PyBoard (STM32), there is ESP8266, ESP32, BBC Micro Bit (ARM Cortex-M0), and WiPy (CC3200)

Adafruit's fork was for business reasons as they wanted control over implementation for the hardware they sell, and to focus development efforts on making it more accessible to newcomers. While I'm not thrilled with the fork sinc

On the boards it has been ported to, I2C and SPI are directly supported ( https://docs.micropython.org/en/latest/library/machine.SPI.h... ). No C coding necessary. It's not a replacement for C on every e

As a 20 year freelancer myself, a side project is a good way to go. But if that takes off and starts requiring more structure, more resources, and eventually overtakes the day job, it essentially becomes a startup.

If the article didn't do much for you, consider the value to be in the comment section. It's a good topic for YC, and I see a lot of insight here, anecdotal and otherwise.

While the states may be responsible for what happens on the ground, it is certainly the role of the federal government to provide coordination in the case of a nationwide public health issue. Clearly, that was not done in this case. The C

Saying that Python 2 & 3 use a completely different syntax is a pretty gross overstatement.
