Why would they? Your hands are not in the center of the keyboard in the base position either. I'm seriously asking, I have no idea right now what the more ergonomic option would be.

I know of some high altitude balloon and satellite experiments as well. I guess size and weight are a limiting factor to what one can detect with those.

Is there any chance to get a comparison between companies who use McKinsey and ones that don't? Compare stock prices, profitability, public image, long term prospects ... This could become a nice Rorschach test, where eveybody can come

The tl;dr right at the beginning of the article states that these mics don't make a lot of sense. People only read the headline and get triggered, not even the tl;dr can reach these humans anymore.

Where are you taking this info from? Wikipedia makes no mention of that reasoning: https://www.wikiwand.com/en/Roll_program The roll is part of the gravity turn, every craft does that kind of stuff to 'aim'.

It's a weird phrasing, but I agree on the compiler topic, maybe for other reasons: an important project like Linux should not really on a single compiler. I think it is good to have the ability to use either GCC or LLVM to build the ke

Literally every uC has hardware blocks for that, 99% of the stuff you will ever encounter is a standard. Nobody bitbangs protocols. And even if, the ws2816 driver on the raspberry pi is bitbanged from Linux user-space. How often are you bit

What do you think is the ratio between projects that need precise timing and projects that publish some sensor data every 60 seconds? I think you can easily do 90% of iot projects with this. Which means you have more time for the 10% of pro

I did just fine and so are millions of other people. Using Arduino will not magically rot your brain and make you unable to ever learn other things. It will however get you started quickly and therefore give you an in. I started using Ardui

Yeah, the earth cables are pretty insane, I think they came up with that to overcome the opposition. They are expensive, but I also don't hate it. If we can reduce the impact of infrastructure on people, we should do it.

You don't have to use `setup` and `loop` tough. We use Arduino as a library in C++ using PlatformIO as tooling. Best of both worlds. The thing you are hating on is pretty much this file: https://github.com/arduino/

And how much of your total spending is that? My monthly income goes to (very roughly estimated): * 35% rent * 10% groceries * 10% other stuff (energy, internet, subscriptions) * 10% mobility * 35% savings My rent didn't go up. Not sure

For micro-controllers having a choice in language is very new and there is still very few languages to pick from. Chip vendors only support C/C++, sometimes only barely. Many languages (if it is AOT compiled and uses LVVM you can proba

You need to buy a Pyboard from MicroPython, or Adafruit Express board for CircuitPython. Then you get a bunch of onboarding tutorials. CircuitPython is very nice for beginners, Adafruits tutorials are gold. Switching to MicroPython is very

You have to have the right people. They have to like Python and want to use it, but not because they think "C is too hard". They have to be happy writing Python code and confident enough to write modules in C and work on MicroPyth

The article made it seem like Apple is forcing anyone to get these tools, when they are not. The article heavily falls into the exactly that trap.

Maybe your view that a massive design margins are needed is not real. Literally the choice of glue can make a huge difference for ease of repair with no impact on the design.

Because they don't want to. Also e.g. the Pixel 6 has an element in the display assembly that makes the repair easier + a glue that melts well. Older iPhones were also easier to open, but their glue gets seems to get more aggressive ea

On this topic I'm leaning towards that this is ok for them to do, although I think it is unnecessary and a reason I would rather buy a competitors procust, that doesn't have this requirement.

We don't need to force them. Where did I say I want to force them? I pointed out that the conundrum of repairability vs. quality is made up, or at least dramatically overstated. There is currently only one company that I know of that f

Reading this article and the comments here makes me quite sad. 1. The repair kit described here is not mandatory for anyone to rent to be able to buy the parts. You can just buy the parts alone and use whatever tools you want. If you attemp
