Why ESP-NOW and not ESP-WIFI-MESH (that has routing, self status, retries, etc. builtin)?

I guess it also depends on the location. I loved running in Thailand, past the flowers and smiling people. I ran 2-3 times in Germany, past the broken bottles and narco bums crawling in the bushes, and decided to stick to the weightlifting.

Didn't they position it as a "development board" that happens to be a router? Personally I find vanilla Sinovoip (aka "BananaPi") products to be more interesting. OpenWRT One adds strange connectors but for some rea

Just a personal anecdote. I was living in China, my father was visiting and fell ill (anemia). We needed to go to the hospital and decided to call an ambulance vs. calling a car because it could enter the gated compound. For a 3 km ride the

I think the misunderstanding here might be "skilled people who come to work in Germany for N years" (which Germany sorely needs) vs. "people who immigrate to Germany forever to make it their Sacred Motherland" and bring

Let me play a bit of devil's advocate here. This is not what I really think but it's a point that has merit. Germany is in deep demographic and economic crisis, mostly due to talent shortage. If it has any ambition to maintain bei

I'm definitely making a judgement :) It is not a social situation, but a work-related event in an international team, where people have varying German language skills (some have almost none, like me). In a true social situation, of cou

It's an international team that is specifically hired this way. I wouldn't expect people switching for me in a bar or in an informal setting, but at work or work-related event, it's common courtesy (to me), especially if you&

Isn't it a bit of a chicken and egg problem? You cannot join a fluent conversation without being fluent. You cannot become fluent without practicing.

I can add my anecdote to the language barrier points. At work we speak English, everybody speak English all the time, all docs are in English, all meetings are in English. There's an occasional German email every now and then but peopl

In Asia people with communicable diseases usually wear masks. They're not obliged to wear them, it's just common courtesy.

I lived and worked in China for 10+ years. It is very very rare that people take sick leaves there, or any kind of vacation. Partly it's considered "not good for the team" if someone is missing, so it's peer pressure to

So you can place your attention on a single session of Claude Code, count to 21, and switch to another? :)

I see. "My" (double checked) information is: - Arc discrete (!) gaming (!!) GPUs are canceled, - consumer gaming (!) SoC Serpent Lake w/RTX in 2028, - Arc is continued in mobile, professional, iGPU, and DC GPUs, - Arc team is

"Intel has fired their entire Arc team"? "All future Intel products will have Nvidia graphics tiles"? Can you point to a source of these wild claims?

This is a good observation. Antirez is one my favorite authors and software developers. I'm 100% sure he could have made the same Redis PR and ds4 (or something else) without LLMs in about the same time with the same quality or higher.

AFAIK _most_ of German personal customers are still only covered by DSL. - Happy Vodafone customer having 40 Mbps on a good day.

I wish my manager's calendar was purely 1:1s. I switched to a large company from a series of startups (including my own), it is definitely a big change, and "efficiency" is not the thing anymore. Now I can spend days fighting

Surprised nobody mentioned Intel vPro AMT so far. It is basically an always-on KVM that's part of CPU firmware, powered by an always-on 5V PSU rail. There is a scary amount of options, including unattended periodic (or alarm based) pho

It's fine. People will always find something to be publicly unhappy about. Example 1. Someone reached out to me on LinkedIn "from HN", when I replied to their initial message they just said "You look like an AI trawler&q

Phone accelerometers don't have enough range and sampling frequency to even begin with. Raw, on some rare phones you can sample 800 Hz (enough-ish), but on most 100 Hz max, Web API is capped at 60 Hz, this is all way too low for any qu

For me it's a bit of an inverse problem. I go to a public gym (hard to sustain motivation at home) and I absolutely don't want to film myself there.

Thanks! Working on it, for now it's literally a taped breadboard. :D

Thanks! I think for "canonical" lifts (squat, deadlift, row, to some extent military press) the vertical bar path is mathematically optimal, and for all kinds of lateral or sagittal movements you do more work with weak stabilizing

Wouldn't wifi settings (antenna, Tx power, freq, bw, encryption, etc) be the bigger driver here?
