I live in France. My father recently spent north of 5k€. Thanks for your answer. I guess it's not really feasible to get ahead then. I'll probably start with over the counter hearing aids when the hearing loss will start to be not

But is there a place online where you can buy cheap hearing aids that you can tweak yourself? I'm genuinely interested in the answer, as I am very likely to get hearing loss in the future, and might start being pro-active if there is a

That's a communication problem, I think. You should outline that something working is a prototype, not an end-product. That means it's not maintainable, hard to extend etc... To convert from a prototype to an end-product, you need

I have a different take on the article. Wal-Mart is merely an example that the author found relevant. You can substitute by any other alternative. The point the author wants to drive home is that the minimum wage is so low, workers can'

I agree for videogames. Starting mining bitcoin on the other had, is hindsight bias, and may well not be a good recommendation anymore. Depending on where you live, electricity costs makes it hard to break-even, especially after you conside

You also cannot search a video or audio. That's a huge disadvantage in my eyes: often enough, I know exactly what I am looking for, and if you don't explain the exact concept I want to learn, I don't want to sit through becau

I'm going to answer the basic question: fingerprinting is about trying to identify your device as uniquely as possible using available APIs, in order to track you cross-site, without cookies. To do that, you first try to identify API t

Thanks a lot for this comment! For me, this really underline how an already optimised website won't benefit much from it (especially the image recompression bit), and it may even be harmful. On the other hand, it could work great by be

From what I searched, it's dependant on your microcontroller, so there is no generic way to do this (since different Arduinos have different microcontrollers). For a very low power project I had, I basically found a lib that did deep s

That's not what he is saying. He is saying that there is an overhead in term of string length. Example: a string with 0 character has a length of 1 (it contains NULL), a 100% overhead. A string with 1 character has a length of 2, a 50%

There are good answers already, here is my suggestion : once you are confortable with Arduino, look into using just the microcontroller (for example the ATMega328p of the Uno), and solder it on a protoboard with your sensors. You use the ex
