I have also seen many times a university happy to throw a student or even a faculty member under the bus, and in this case it seems extremely clear that they were running an unethical sociological experiment that was probably not reviewed b

Yeah, you do not need a reason and you do not owe the community a lengthy conversation about whether your emotions are valid. You're a volunteer. It's great if other people there reach out for support, but ultimately it doesn'

I said that the old ESP32 was using ARM which as the other reply comment notes was inaccurate? Not that the mistake I made on the architecture of an older chip reduces the responsiveness to the actual question, of course, but it was an erro

Thanks for the correction, when I was reading the datasheets to implement it somehow this distinction never came up. Compilers are pretty great! I hope it continues to not matter with RISC-V cores =)

From what I've seen the Qualcomm chips are really great but impossible to buy if you're a normal human, the ST chips are pretty solid and have a configuration tool that works well in Linux and their -WB versions support wireless a

Thank you, I was trying for a while to find a way to phrase it. All images are reconstructed... if it was helpful I'm sure they could have added back the noise they removed.

Maybe they could try actually hiring those of us who have PhDs in other fields who are actually enthusiastic about generating large quantities of reproducible and transferable data. I hear people say all the time how this is what they want,

To clarify, I am pretty sure they are talking about flybys by actual manned fighters. But it's a fair point that shooting down an unmanned drone is a lot less aggressive than shooting down a manned one. Of course, not starting a war wi

I've found Linux to handle scaling pretty inconsistently; I've got a 4K television I connect my computer to and if I tell it to scale 200% in the monitor configuration most things get scaled nicely, but random stuff (especially pr

Yeah... I've worked with some smart fabrics and I wouldn't touch them knowing the voltages this kind of stuff requires to work. I'm sure it can be done safely, but those folks touching it were all wearing gloves. I agree! And

I think that's not especially strange when these partially automated systems aren't fully autonomous yet. I would have a hard time arguing against requiring a few hours of class time learning about exactly what the systems do and

And some places should actually just be in different timezones. In Boston the latest sunrise is at 7:15am on Jan 2nd. However, the earliest sunset is at 4:11pm on December 6th. If it were 8:15am to 5:11pm at the worst on either end, I know

It is interesting that the one that you say works is the exact first link in my post. So it didn't work but then did work? Sounds like they've got some screwy cookie and redirect stuff going on. For full context, I logged in to my

All I can say is that the only real options at the time seemed to be T-Mobile, AT&T, and Verizon. Sprint had a tiny network without reasonable coverage. It was a bad choice, but still an obvious one. They were infinitely better than the
