You can not buy wifi usb adapters that work with MacOS on MacBooks I believe. I could be wrong but I think none of them have driver support.

Yeah, given the through put on the Pico is just 4Mbps in this setup, it will not work as a travel router for the family.

You could use the hot lines from RBG as the binary id (2^3) of the monitor and then average up the RBG intensity from the hot lines as the result. This would give you 8 monitor support. Or you could limit it to 3 monitors but two hot lines

Interesting project. In a similar but opposite vein, I am going on a vacation and I wanted to share the stupidly expensive internet in my room at night with the family so I am likely bringing a raspberry pi to have as a travel router attach

FYI Obsidian does have a CLI with search abilities: https://obsidian.md/cli I store my Obsidian in git as well for versioning. There are a few different plugins for that. I think that Obsidian may not have the schema that

Mostly just function calling to reduce duplicate code. Dependency injection does start to get abstraction costs again. I use it when necessary but it is annoying and costly when I do.

You can do functional in any language. I haven’t designed a new class in years in TypeScript and I’ve been more productive as a result.

Calling a function from two locations is what I meant. Basically since moving to a functional approach in typescript I find I do not fight abstractions as I used to when I used classes and inheritance.

I used to struggle with abstractions back in my OOP days but since moving pretty much to a purely functional approach I find that code duplication is rare. Just have a function and call it in two parts. The main abstraction issue is then

I did end up ditching the modem since I wrote the article. I ended up using a TP-Link 8411 router though. Having everything TP-Link has its benefits for observability and maintenance.

I do believe the solution to gerrymandering in general is to move towards proportional representation so that the individual boundaries of a distinct are not as influential. Maybe add that as an option to the game? I sort of think that the
