I mean in a world where a 32-bit microcontroller with flash in the 1-2MB range and a few hundred KiB RAM can cost less than $2 why make things harder on yourself :P If you're using a chip without the bells and whistles for precise timi

Coal ash tends to have a high volume of Carbon-14 which, in the volumes used to burn coal for electricity, releases significantly more radioactivity than any normally operating nuclear plant. Even just a large pile of unburnt coal is much m

Completely agree, there's a lot of user friendly reasons to want the software to behave this way. I use a headset with a hardware mute that engages when I put the mic arm up, that's what I use when I want to make sure I'm mut

Yeah, I gave up because it was nearly impossible to move precisely between segments. It kept either not being enough and resetting back to a stop point, or my frustrated flicks skipped over 3 whole segments

A lot of battery controllers are intentionally designed to make the batteries unusable if the cells are removed for even a moment. Sometimes the controller uses a volatile ROM that wipes itself when it loses voltage, other times there'

Sometimes the verbosity annoys me a little while writing it, but I do think Rust made the right decision making you write code like the following to use the standard sleep function. std::thread::sleep(Duration::from_millis(300));

I'm curious and couldn't find the info from a quick search of the repo, how much flash space does the JS virtual machine take up? And how much space is left to include libraries you may need? Between the Arduino runtime, wifi libr

It sounds like there's enough lithium in all identified lithium resources to produce the batteries for 10.6 billion[1] Nissan Leafs. Enough for every human to have 1 low range car if the population plateaus around there, but that would

There's no such thing as infinite energy in this universe. There's enough deuterium in the oceans to power humanity at our current pace until well after the sun expands and makes earth uninhabitable, but that is still a limit wher

I'll never use a centralized one like that. I use a password manager that keeps my vault file locally and is synchronized through any cloud storage provider of my choice. I chose OneDrive, but if I was more insistent on absolute privac

I feel like at this point it's pretty well established that having a few glasses of wine a week was actually associated with being upper class, which was why those studies correlated it with better health outcomes.

From what the article stated, it seems the longest term testing they did was firing a laser at the red widget for 6 months straight and it maintained constant current the entire time

Reminds me of an interesting thing I noticed, a few times the compiler has been able to make a tighter inner loop simply by adding an `assert!` on the array length before the loop. I guess the compiler considers the specific error message t
