Good idea with the ESP32. As for the MCP2221A boards, there's a fresh supply of them for under $5 from China and they just work out of the box on Linux with off the shelf python library so no having to futz with the brains of the ESP32

Yep that. Just a get a full whack Lenovo mini PC. If you need GPIO, unless it's high bandwidth stuff, a MCP2221A break out and I2C ADC/expander is probably better anyway. You can stack as many MCP23017 as you need on one of them.

Wow that was quick. I probably should have googled it first!

You asked it a question and it gave you a statistically correct sounding answer which you built a straw man on to justify your own opinion. That is reasoning.

by hggigg 2y ago
Isn't reasoning a little strong word? I mean finding evidence of any reasoning is the first point and I haven't seen anything that points to that. (note that I mean structured reasoning to solve new problems here, not just the c

I rather like this idea. Apologies however for my cynicism in advance. I suspect it'll die due to human concerns. I've seen many reports recently which are just plain and utterly wrong written in dashboards by vendors and internal

Yeah not happening here. I am Adobe and Apple's bitch. I mean I'd really like to but the software I use just isn't there.

Please don't get me started on these guys. I don't own a television and don't want one (it's a waste of life). I get sent letters all the time. Last year I had an "inspector" turn up who was told to "fuck

Hey I'm right in the middle: I use a Mac and use open source software on it, while moaning how shitty both are.

There was that bit a few years back where the HN folk saw Satya as the second coming of Microsoft and anything even slightly critical or suspicious of Microsoft was downvoted to oblivion as highly implausible. I think people are still comin

Hey I want advance knowledge of how hosed everyone is so I can get my resume out first.

Haha :) Sod tea. Nasty stuff. Right to chuck it in the sea!

Worth noting us large AWS customers get huge discounts, huge credit, actual real engineers on hand 24/7 on Slack, contractual service guarantees that last years and a large market of people we can leverage to build stuff in there. And

I would tend to trust Apple more as they define attack vectors and mitigations in their platform security guide. Also they have a holistic approach to this from hardware through to software, not just an app tacked crudely onto whatever APIs

Uh, we do. Have compliance obligations. Fortunately our production systems are NOT integrated into Entra. Only the non-customer stuff.

I didn't even it could do that to start with. But then again I don't use it because I don't trust it. It was a gift. I still read tangible real books. They don't need backing up and you can give them to people when you

Personally I think they had a lot of pressure from naive external and internal sources and had to take the PR hit on this one. If Apple were to do something like that with any level of real intent, the first thing you’d find out about it wa

Regarding the testing, it's more the sheer multiplicative number of cases you have to consider on a LINQ expression.

by hggigg 2y ago
LINQ is a veritable footgun in any large team I find. While it's extremely powerful and really nice, it's so so so easy to blow your toes off if you don't know what you are doing. Some of my favourite screw ups I saw: * Not u

by hggigg 2y ago
I think this is the wrong way to think about it. It's more important to find a problem and see if this is a fit for the solution, not throw the technology at everything and see if it sticks. I have had no needs where it's an appro

by hggigg 2y ago
Well aware of that. Having compared several news outlets to their data, it matches what I would consider reasonable on veracity and political orientation.

by hggigg 2y ago
I don't play these word games. Sorry.

by hggigg 2y ago
I think you are trying to add a narrative which is disingenuous. If you want my opinion, I suspect they either pissed someone off or became a security risk.

Keeping it technical only, I think the issue is that Hamas are a proscribed terrorist organisation here in the UK and the IDF is the official armed forces division of a sovereign state. Regardless of your political orientation, showing supp

Indeed. I decided after getting fucked by Epic that I wasn't going to invest in any games any more. The whole market leaves a bad taste in my mouth now. Apple was an easy move. Hat tip to any Linux switchers. I hope you get what you ne

Until it is in my hands and I've paid that for it at that price, I remain hesitant. I think every early pricing prediction I've seen was to drive investment or interest rather than push costs down.
