From a hardware perspective, likely. The regular esp8266/esp32 chips are arduino-compatible. If I remember correctly a common chip for DIY keyboards are the Arduino Micros.

I pre-ordered the Remarkable 1 and ended up returning it due to buggy software and the battery life not performing as advertised (had to recharge literally every day). I pre-ordered the Remarkable 2 when it came out because it was much more

I have lived in PA all my life and remember touring Lebanon Bologna and Wilbur Chocolate (in nearby Lititz) in one day. I loved seeing all the processes that go into making bologna. I don’t eat much of it these days but I love the unique sw

I'm in Southeastern PA and am super excited to see them this year. I was camping two weeks ago in central PA and hiking last week and haven't heard any yet. I've gotten super into ambient audio recording and really want to re

Just echoing the sentiment of loving Backblaze. The HDD stats really aligns with the open source roots of the company. I love that they also open source the designs of their storage pods. This "show your work" strategy helps me tr

What the devs are doing here seems similar to the private RuneScape servers that exist to this day. The only thing I can think of is that RuneScape created OSRS (olde school RuneScape) off of a backup from 2007. Maybe Riot is planning on do

You could do it with like an Arduino and any kind of button. There are tons of examples of using an Arduino to run a keyboard's firmware. Another project i've done was with a Rasberry pi. A benefit of that would be that the syste

This is a valid point, but it’s hard to place the blame on Google/Android. I think the challenge is less of Android itself but a refusal of the OEMs to support newer OS versions. This makes business sense, but sucks for consumers. I t

I feel like we all need to be more like this kid and actively seek out more dinosaurs in our lives. I especially enjoy listening to science-related podcasts and shows as part of my wind-down routine. For example I watch a lot of space docum

I think as Flutter matures it will change the game for native development. I'm building an app now for a well known startup and are converting their native codebases to Flutter. What is interesting is that I was able to compile the app

I'm not saying I believe any of the crazy conspiracies related to the Nazca lines, but I really do wonder what they actually are. The mysteries behind a lot of these ancient megalithic structures make me wonder about how sophisticated

I never made this connection before, but given they use Mycelium Networks it makes complete sense.

In my case this is definitely true. It is much better for me to remember handwritten notes than typed ones. In college, one of my study methods was to transcribe my typed notes into handwritten ones. I took typed notes in the first place fo

Something I've been thinking a lot about lately is environmental friendliness in software, given that data centers contribute 3% of global greenhouse emissions (same amount as the entire airline indistry). I'm thinking along the l

I love this! Tower defense games are my guilty pleasure if I'm being honest.

Krita is one of my favorite open source projects. I discovered it by accident while learning about pixel art, it's quite popular for Indy game development. I really appreciate it's polished interface that is not always a priority

I didn't realize that epic came back. I also understand why Google is doing this. (1) the obvious money making reasons and (2) legitimate security concerns. Remember the days of accidentally undertaking a zillion browser tool bars? I f

First of all, my stance here is that Google is pretty reasonable with their guidelines compared to Apple. My biggest issue in the iOS vs Android debate is that apple is behaving monopolistically and Google isn't. Using the respective a

I know this is a tactic Elon has definitely used before - i.e. hats and flamethrowers to fund the Boring company. I can't find the source because Google is a bit biased towards giving me articles about yesterday's launch but I kno

There are huge overlap between Mongo and Firestore. Mongo gives you the ability to finely control many aspects of the DB (sharing, replication, etc...) where as Firestore manages it for you. Firestore and DynamoDB are also closed source and

This isn't insanely high given its traffic and that it's attached to an educational (not for profit) institution. They need developers, infrastructure, support, people to process the papers, etc...

I think the article forgets that Google is a business and they have an intrinsic motivation to make money. IMHO Google provides a ton of software at no charge to customers (I know, ads). Moving to a consumption-based pricing model w/ a

I just want to recommend a service called eReaderIQ. It's a price tracking service for eBooks. Basically any book you've wanted to read has been available for $3 or less in the past year. I've saved a ton of money with this s
