I just changed a setting in my CloudFlare account... did I break everything?

Me too! I think it’s gaining a little extra appreciation lately. For us the wow-factor was the ease of tying it together with a C host program in lieu of some conf file based alternative. For example our Keybow (Raspberry Pi-powered mechani

I’ve recently compiled a Lua-based project into WASM with Emscripten, but transpiling Lua into JS to avoid the engine overhead is compelling. I wonder how these approaches compare. For me it’s very alluring to use most of the same codebase

Ah those were the good old days! I wish I'd spent more time actually getting code up and running on those and the Dingoo A320 but it really was way over my head at the time. Still contemplating a Dragonbox Pyra. The OpenPandora, despit

What we're doing with 32blit is effectively Pico 8 with hardware. I'd be happy if we saw a tenth of the success that Pico 8 has achieved- some of the titles written for it are truly remarkable and seeing how people push the artifi

Small world- I just finished watching this again today. I've been trying palette-cycling techniques with 32blit to see if I can learn the ropes and put together a half-decent tutorial. I've had these - http://www.effect

I would be interested to hear from CloudFlare as to whether there is any possibility of confirming that the URL " https://pipdigz.co.uk/p3/id39dqm3c0_license_h.txt" - fetched by the "license check" c

Just requested mine! I'm not ready to abandon GitHub just yet- I use it for the "Hub", not the "Git" and this sort of change is just the kind of thing I'd like to see more of- let's hope some of these idea

My entire argument in favour of the OpenPandora pretty much boils down to this: http://repo.openpandora.org/?page=detail&app=package.starcra... I mean... what else do you need? I've never had much success programmi

I'm still on the sidelines with the Pyra, but keen to see how it pans out! It's looking really really close now, though. Two Months?

+10 for the OpenPandora, the community is incredible. It really gives me hope and confidence that the Pyra- while it may take a while to gain momentum- will be an incredible platform for many, many years. That said while I have a first batc

I'll probably prep the "gold master" SD card and then leave it to our SD duplicator. I'm aiming to distribute SD cards that make some of our Pi Zero kits - Radio, Mood Light, etc - near frictionless to get up and running

I used this tooling: https://github.com/ali1234/rpi-ramdisk To build a tiny fine-tuned Raspbian for "embedded" Python 3 (a project I dub PiratePython). It uses multistrap/qemu and worked well for me. YMM

It's worth noting that FUZE BASIC is a commercial fork of Gordon Henderson's RTB: https://projects.drogon.net/rtb/ If you want to hack on the code, there's a mirror for the original RTB source here: htt

One could argue that Fuze - a commercial programming language - is a bunch of extra gunk versus the free, open source and widely available alternative of almost any other language. But you're right, a fairer comparison would be again

This is absolutely what they're doing. It condenses quite easily even to: import random import time while True: col = random.randint(30, 48) print("\x1b[{}m{}\x1b[0m".format(col, "Hello Wor

This is incredible! Were you a Subspace Continuum player? The similarities are many and my (albeit not great) skills translate right over. Although discrete life/weapon energy removes some of the 1v1 strategy, it doesn't feel lack

I think Vivaldi miss the point in their blog post- the average western user probably wont much care about Vivaldi on the Pi 3. It's cool, but it's not groundbreaking. We have smartphones, tablets, laptops, etc. But the Pi has trac

Really enjoying this little bubble of Raspberry Pi content; it's close to my heart. Keep it up HN!

I've not seen any simple adaptors, but OWC's Thunderbolt 3 dock includes a FireWire 800 port.

I was surprised your step 1 wasn't "build a working (but ugly) prototype out of pre-existing breakout boards and components." I might have a pencil sketch or two, but I wouldn't be doing anything in CAD until I knew my i

There certainly used to be some effort to achieve this in Outerra's Anteworld- a full earth simulation. I don't know if it ever got anywhere. There was a Google Maps overlay you could use to painstakingly add roads in their real l
