Just ordered one last week - looking forward to it. By now I know that even if it would suck at soldering I could still play Tetris on it, so it's a win in any situation!

They still collect all the metadata. They know with whom you communicate, and how often. They know with whom you're in a group chat and the names of those groups. They know your profile picture. (Disclaimer: I'm a bit biased thoug

To avoid that kind of stuff, when I deleted my account a few years back, I used an automated script to delete all my posts. Then I went through my profile and replaced all fields with empty or no fake data. If they ever reactivate my accoun

If you say that "Selenium IDE saved us hundreds or thousands of hours", why not convince your company to donate 10% of the money saved back to Selenium, so that they maybe have the resources to actually pay someone to continue dev

I can recommend Fastmail. No affiliation, just a happy customer. I've used Gmail for several years previously and thought I'd miss it when switching. I didn't.

Just a quick reminder, if everyone here donates just 3-5$, the expenses will be paid in no time :) Krita is a great software, and even though I'm not an artist it's worth supporting.

In America, people say "just a sec" even though you will wait for more than one second. The confusing way Americans count seconds.

Actually they use OCaml for the blockchain implementation and their own functional and provable language "Michelson" for smart contracts. Fun fact: Michelson was the guy that disproved aether :)

Nice guide. In contrast to what the article says about data channel size limitations (1200 bytes), 16 KiB seems to be safe: https://lgrahl.de/articles/demystifying-webrtc-dc-size-limit... In case you want to do chunked

This, combined with https://github.com/PyO3/setuptools-rust , is a pretty fantastic way to create native Python extension modules.

I also thought about doing a project like that, thanks for the write-up. I somehow can't really believe that it's that hard to measure soil moistures. Are there any industrial plant moisturing robots? What approaches do these use?
