Wow, this is really neat! I wish I would have known about this before it was discontinued!

The article mentions it, but my favorite mc option is enabling lynx-like motion. Being able to left/right arrow in and out of directories is so convenient!

You are probably thinking of piezoelectric pickups. Same principle but think of grill/gas ignitors: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Piezo_ignition

I can't speak to the Ruby details but I used to use the same author's node-packer, which was the same concept for Node.js. It uses libsquash to store the script source and replaces the REPL entrypoint to run the embedded source fr

Care to elaborate more on the IR sensor for a water softener? I had thought of doing something similar but with ultrasonic for level. I'm curious what you are doing with IR. I suppose resistance could be used based on dissolved salt bu

I agree with this very much. Both Sublime Text and Sublime Merge are quite cost prohibitive, particularly so for individual users. I've mentioned this here and elsewhere before and often others will attempt to deflect this with getting

Being able to add or update the rpath on apps and shared objects is pretty handy, particularly when the target would be annoying or problematic to rebuild.

I wonder if using an address @nationalgeographic.com (e.g. support) might illuminate to them how foolish this is...

Since the /etc pronunciation was first in the list, I initially thought this might be some joke list of crazy pronunciations until I saw the rest. Do people really say "etsy" when referring to /etc? I've never ever

My above post was more of a complaint of the Signal UX rather than a critique of either protocol but thanks for the link! I would be interested to hear whether people still perceive MTProto to have weakness... but that likely won't cha

I definitely agree with this. Getting people to use Telegram instead of SMS or other random chat apps can be difficult but getting them to switch to Signal is basically a "not going to happen" until Signal ups their usability. Eve

This seems to be accounted for, according to the article: > The main idea behind the system is that it modulates its output based its range to the target via using an internal laser range-finder. Thus the maximum eye-safe setting can be

Gold electroplating can utilize some relatively nasty chemicals such as cyanide and cobalt but some ways are more safe than others. You could more easily and inexpensively nickel plate it with household materials (and a nickel plating layer

In the US, casked "real ale" is rather uncommon and many people prefer kegged and force carbonated beer. While I enjoy and seek out casked beer when it is available, most people I've talked with actively avoid it with comment

What I like most about MC is oddly off by default. Under "Options" > "Panel options" there is an option under "Navigation" for "Lynx-like motion". Once this is on, you can navigate in/out of d

Various pi boards have been retrofitted into laptops but a Pi Zero in particular is a downgrade in performance from just about any relatively recent laptop/Chromebook. As some of the sibling comments mention, there is more involved wit

Exactly. What I'm saying is they should NOT be driving the motor directly like they've drawn up but instead, they should be "pressing the button via GPIO" on the real door opener attached to the garage wall.

by blackfawn 6y ago
I'd recommend driving a FET or two to connect at the push button(s) (i.e. GPIO is "pushing the button") rather than the relay board to drive the motor. Not only is jumping the switch(es) more simple, you also stay on the low

The standard Arduino "language" is really C/C++, is it not? (as well as all the C/C++ libraries that extend it) I suppose the "Arduino language" itself could be described as a library as well, or at least a C&#

Out of curiosity, do people have issues with Nvidia in Linux? I've seen similar sentiment in the past but I've never really noticed any issues with the nouveau (open source) driver. Due to CUDA work, I primarily use the proprietar

Sansa Fuze + Rockbox are great and even better together! I even used to watch movies on mine on flights (before phones had giant screens and laptops had decent battery life) I still use mine for music since it's a convenient size and I

It's not a TUI but I have used kpcli ( http://kpcli.sourceforge.net/ ) as a method to access keepass databases over SSH and text interfaces. I've thought about building a more TUI-based option but have yet to get ar

That is quite generous but I don't know that it'd sit well having someone else pay for me for what I consider too much to use. I suppose it's all just my principles since I could just use it in an unregistered state as many

by blackfawn 8y ago
To be honest... yes, it is rather much. You are in the price range of full fledged IDEs, whole operating systems, and office suites just for a text editor, even though it is quite a good one. As the sibling comment mentioned, I'm sure

I can appreciate their need to charge but the $80 for personal use is rather prohibitive. It is a bit odd they differentiate a personal and business license yet charge the same for both. I'd buy a copy for personal use if it was more r

You can reprogram the STM32 microcontroller in them[0]. It's a fairly decent Cortex-M3 processor and it additionally has WiFi and a few other features. Some people went an easier route and just watched for the ARP request the dash butt
