I don't know about other people, but I definitely didn't intend it to be useful!

Definitely do it.

It's fantastic, I have tens of them because I constantly use them around the house, in things like alarm clocks ( https://www.stavros.io/posts/do-not-be-alarmed-clock/ ), cat toys (no writeup there), scales (ma

I would imagine that the main use case is texting or typing documents, so it's encouraging that it worked well for that.

I can't really blame Lebedev for that, given how expensive EInk displays are, due to the patent/monopoly situation.

Looks like that makes two of us who forgot to include attribution...

What?! This is the first I hear of this, though you appear to be correct. Mindblowing.

Ooh, if you miss the pipe, wait until you see where the Tab key isn't...

There are keyboards where each finger goes into four (five) switches, one on each side, but I imagine some combinations will be impossible to type without the keyboard being stationary relative to the hand.

Have you ever used that? It looks interesting.

Ah yes, I definitely intended a hat tip to Engelbart but I forgot to include it in the article. I reinvented it only semi-independently.

The old tracking is stopping whether sites want to or not, since users are now wise to uBlock Origin and browsers have finally started pushing for privacy.

That's an interesting idea, and you can, but if you have an entire keyboard anyway why not use that?

Oops, I off-by-oned off-by-one, thanks.

This is "correcting" in the sense that someone is pointing at something and you're "correcting" people to look at the finger instead of the something. Yes, you are technically correct, but you aren't making a

Seriously, goddamn. He had, say, 2002 million, he gave away 2000 and he kept 2 for himself, and people are fucking OUTRAGED. If he had 2000 million and gave all of it away, well, people still wouldn't be satisfied because people suck

To me, your comment sums up modern online discourse. "Billionaire gives away all his wealth" "BULLSHIT, HE ISN'T HOMELESS, THIS IS OFFENSIVE TO PEOPLE WHO HAVE NO WEALTH"

Does anyone have a link to the apk? I'd like to try this.

He didn't? I'm pretty sure I saw one, the explanation had something to do with a retry strategy stomping the servers IIRC.

by StavrosK 6y ago
That's very interesting! Do you have any pointers on how to do that?

Seconded, this is the way everything in Greece works. Automatically entering them into another contract is scummy.

Oooh, that's very exciting! Worth it just for the standardized connectors, pinouts are such a mess right now, no two of them are the same.

That's helpful, thank you. CAN does sound much more heavy-weight, though I guess it might be a good fit when you have multiple MCUs (not just sensors to connect to one MCU).
597.
by StavrosK 6y ago
I see, thanks. I'm asking mostly from a model airplane perspective, where you have a receiver, GPS, mag, transmitter, etc. Right now they use UART, with only the mag using I2C, but CAN sounds like a better solution, especially given th

That's a very useful analysis, thanks!

Has anyone used both I2C and other protocols like PJON or CAN and can compare?

I quite like this! Payment processors obviously need to take a cut, so they can't send the funds directly to your wallet, but having an alternative might be good.
