It's worth point out that on many microcontrollers (STM32's at least), configuring a pin as a "digital input" means that the signal is routed through a Schmitt trigger circuit that's built into the MCU. This also me

This is true, I just didn't want to admit it as someone who joined after 2015 but before 2021...

I would argue that Meta had already overhired by the beginning of 2021, and the hiring spree was continuing.

Probably Microcenter in Brooklyn is your best bet, but still limited selection. It really feels like there should be a hole-in-the-wall gaming PC shop in LES - maybe we should just open one?

Maybe not if one of those items is always in your backpack. A few other use cases that I think they're great for: - Throw one in your checked bag when traveling - Mount one in a relatively concealed location on your bike - Keychain (de

The fact that the Adafruit team continued that thread unabashedly after Paul Stoffregen's first reply is an awful look in my opinion. Doesn't seem like anyone here is behaving like adults. Edit: I should clarify - Paul seems very

This comment shines a spotlight on my issues with the US auto market. None of these vehicles are sold in the US, for a variety of reasons - both economic and regulatory. I hate knowing that the vehicles I want to buy both exist and are affo

My 2004 RX-8 had decently solid ESC, but it was a “high-end” vehicle at the time. It’s definitely something we want to keep in our idealized vehicle (but let’s also keep the “disable ESC so I can have fun” button)

This is my exact same sentiment. I’m cautiously excited about the upcoming Slate Pickup[1] - I can see it being my go-to if I leave NYC, but it still won’t hit like the XJ Cherokee I drove before I gave up cars for the city. 1: https:&#x2F

What about if you’re hit at 10mph? Of course any crash at 55 is fatal for a cyclist, but most impacts with cyclists don’t occur at highway speeds.

That’s true, but Zen1 TDP is a lot higher than an RPi. Hitting that level of performance in a power and heat envelope that works for a Pi probably demands a smaller process node, unfortunately.

But you exit going faster, which means you make up time on the straight after the corner.

> Also the claimed "Rush to buy electric vehicles" put revenue only 2% above expectations? The rush to buy electric vehicles was baked into the expectations, so beating by 2% is still noteworthy.

Many states allow a state tax deduction for 529 contributions, which could net you up to an 8ish% discount if you’re in a high tax locality (e.g. NYC).

Yeah, I just did a project at work with an RP2040 and was really impressed with the Pico SDK. It hits a sweet spot in between ST’s insanity and Arduino’s easy-but-not-powerful tradeoff. No crazy code generation, going from 0 to blinky is qu

There are two completely distinct differences that jump out to me initially that I think may help justify your feelings: 1: Reading a long book demands focus on a longer timespan than scrolling TikTok, and with focusing on a single thing fo

Thread is a mesh networking protocol mostly targeted at IoT and smart-home connectivity - it's basically a Zigbee competitor.

I enjoyed looking at this one too - playing around for a minute on paper with it was fun. The numbers in each row (when cols is set to 6) are of the form: 6n+1, 6n+2, 6n+3, 6n+4, 6n+5, and 6n+6 Only 6n+1 and 6n+5 can't be trivially fac

Most European countries use . as the thousands separator and , as the decimal point.

I didn’t know this, and it jumps out to me because 10k is pretty much the exact difference between room temperature and wine fridge tenperature - I wonder if this is actually not a horrible application for peltiers?

I was curious what these numbers look like if people get their extra calories from carbs instead of animal products: - A 100g cooked serving of pasta has 131 calories [1] - This random website claims that a 100g serving of pasta generates 0

This brought back memories - GLTron was fantastic. It was always either that or TuxRacer that would get fired up after finally getting my ATI drivers sorted out on whatever distro I was playing with at the time. Looks like the last release

Yes and no, depending on the environment. In an apartment building, the wall penetration is a liability, as the 2.4ghz spectrum, with only three channels, gets extremely congested. Going 5ghz helps immensely, with more channels available an

Hah of course you're 100% right on mushrooms - that totally slipped my mind. Am I completely out to lunch on root vegetables though?

Admittedly this is pedantry on my part, but isn’t this only true for fruits? GP’s argument seems perfectly valid for e.g. carrots or mushrooms.

> Is it indicating that the router is faster at forwarding packets than responding to ping requests? Exactly this. In most “real” routers, forwarding (usually) happens in the “data plane”. It’s handled by an ASIC that has a routing table
