It is one thing for a normal person to insult somebody, but someone like Elon has a greater responsibility with his platform. It is also not OK in general to accuse people of being a pedophile! Not sure why that is controversial. There are

Yes, labs are definitely helpful to do in person as well, even with just other students and a TA there. I think they would go under the category of "building stuff", so maybe I should revise 75/25 to 60/40!

This is awesome! With all the interest in gaming/home offices/high end peripherals one thing I was thinking of making a device similar to my 3d connexion to help with simple navigation and scrolling. My 3d connexion puck is great

This may be true for some degrees, but I feel like my engineering degrees were worth it and would still be worth it online. I feel like I could have gotten at least 75% of the value of my education online, especially with my Master's

Hackaday has good reviews of similar small microcontroller boards. - STM32 "Blue Pill": cheap, uses common STM32 ARM parts, but generally available on places like ebay/alibaba - ESP32: has wifi and bluetooth, less good docume

The PIO (programmable hardware) is the most exciting aspect of this device! I think this might be a key technology differentiator in the future of microcontrollers, especially as the industry settles in on similar cores (ARM Cortex M0&#x2F

I think you should read this blog (popular on HN), he explains it in a historical context better than I could. Basically this type of thing happened a lot in ancient democracies and even then it often seemed silly and harmless, until it was

If you have a Canon DSLR camera, you can download their webcam utility to plug it in via USB cable. This is handy because you don't need an HDMI capture card! The only problem I have now is I need an A/C adapter for my camera, a

Hopefully standards will coalesce over time, but right now I feel like the industry still needs to experiment to find the best interfaces to address power usage, security, and features.

I've had luck with this technique as well. I generally make a deadline a few days out though which gives me a little time to work the phone without being overwhelmed. Some dealers do NOT want to deal this way ("You need to come

I am also not a fan of the hamburger method. I think it seems disingenuous, plus most people are aware of it too. Personally if I get negative feedback I would rather hear what I can do to make it better than hearing an arbitrary good thin
