Typical 5 watt solar panel is 25x25 cm. That 5 watt is generated under ideal conditions, i.e. in sunlight, measuring about 100 kilolux. Bright indoor lightning is 1 kilolux, i.e. the "indoor solar panel charger" would take ~6 m² (

Nice demo but way too complex and limited (requires line-of-sight) for practical use. I would rather take a MagSafe-style zero-force dock.

This. I realized too late that student life (college, university) is not about studying but for making life-long friends, building the base for your network.

The more there's featues, the harder it will be to create new independent implementations, which is not good for openness/competition. The bar is already too high.

Pixelmator is crazy cheap for its features and polishness. Edit: seems to be $60 now for "Pro" version, whatever that means, but still cheap. My only wish is svg export¹. [1] http://www.pixelmator.com/community&#x2

Nothing prevents you from using CoffeeScript with the "ecosystem". CoffeeScript is just alternative syntax. Version 2 outputs ES6 code with compatible classes, etc. It also supports JSX out of the box (with the help of babel), the

Odroid-w will never be re-stocked because Broadcom stopped selling them the SoC (presumably because the Raspberry Pi Foundation didn't like the competition). I also grabbed two of them before Zero came out, for tenfold(!) price.

Emails can be automatically displayed in threads¹ and proper clients do so (e.g. Apple Mail) with the help of Message-ID and In-Reply-To headers. There are no reason to "hard-code" every previous message body into new message body

I had no idea that automatic climate control (i.e. user just sets the target temperature) dates back to 1970, because it was not a standard option for low/mid-price cars yet in 90s (at least in Finland). Heck, my parents bought a Toyot

Weird, given that ´new Intl.DateTimeFormat('fi-FI').format(new Date)´ in console properly outputs dd.mm.yyyy, so the locale data for Finnish should be there.

Because JSON is a text format, nobody prevents you from encoding floats like this: { "int": 1, "float": 1.0 } Of course it's up to the parser implementation to interpret 1.0 as a float. The spec is very relaxed abou

It's more about DPI than the number of pixels ("resolution"). In more exact terms, the angular diameter of single pixel, or the ratio between DPI and viewing distance. The resolution is good enough when you cannot anymore see

Cool to see people making DIY projects for the Compute Module. It offers nice form-factor for space-limited applications¹ with the power of RPi 3. Actually it's weird that it took so long before DIY boards for CM has started appearing,

I didn't downvote you, but I'd like to know what makes Perl a good option for embedded language and what implementations are available.
