Also, Bluetooth AND USB support combined is killer.

It’s truly incredible the impact this company has had without yet managing to become a household name. They don’t even have a Wikipedia entry yet, as far as I can ascertain. I had my doubts, especially with esp-idf for the esp32 having a somewhat troublesome start. But these guys have been absolutely crushing it this year.

The S2 series of ESP32 modules have USB OTG support rolling out pretty radidly right now, based on TinyUSB’s stack, and the touch capacitance sensor implementations on those chips is truly a generation ahead of the initial series. It’s as if they totally rethought the ESP32 in the context of how it could be used to enable hobbyists to become makers of consumer-friendly devices with modern, professional interfaces.

Even the documentation for the S2 chips is like nothing I’ve ever seen for a microcontroller —— they describe in incredible detail how you can use their touch sensor support to enable waterproof touch panels, touch screens, proximity sensors, sliders, keypads.

They even get into describing layer-by-layer which materials to use in order to construct an effective, professional touch sensor. That is invaluable information for device makers hoping for a leg up on their competition, and Espressif didn’t really even have an obligation to include this level of information — they know how revolutionary this could be.

I think we’ll start seeing Espressif not only be the company that brings IoT mainstream, but the company that steers the future of IoT in the same sort of way that IBM did with the PC. They’re defining a ton of protocols, services and silicon technologies and I think they’ve already surpassed a critical mass where other companies will have to standardize around Espressif’s implementations if they want to achieve any real success in this market.

Don’t get wrong, I love MVG’s content, and I’m not a big gamer or even much of a YouTube viewer.

Anytime there’s a negative news story against Apple, rational thought goes straight out the window.

Microsoft’s first product ever was a port. MS-DOS was literally just someone else’s product, rebranded. Bill Gates’ wealth was built on the backs of many, many people, many of whom he just flat-out screwed over. Microsoft was anti-competitive almost from the very start, that’s why Gates is wealthy, not because he built himself up from nothing.

Intellivisions weren’t as common as Ataris in the US, but I knew a bunch of people who had one.

It’s hard to imagine this wholly unremarkable speech was posted here to encourage earnest discussion about the defunct TerraMar Project and not to encourage discussion about Ghislaine Maxwell. Hacker News hardly feels like the right platform for either.

I think a full copy of Visual Studio in the late 90s was like $700-800.

I completely disagree with the premise that a high-level language should be able to do substantially more work with the same amount of code as C. That is not the point of a high-level language, not even close. The point of a high-level language is simply to abstract away some of the more difficult problems inherent to programming closer to the metal.

And as far as languages go, JavaScript is not nearly so far removed from raw machine code as most interpreted languages.

100MB of JavaScript code is not “astoundingly huge” at all , considering the bulk of that is tooling. Compared to the tooling for many other commonly used C/C++ development environments, 100MB is pretty modest.

You seem pretty set on assigning your own arbitrary meaning to words that are pretty clearly delineated by reddit in the policy update. It doesn’t matter one teenay bit what you think reddit meant. There is a huuuuuuge amount in diversity in reddit’s countless sub communities, and it is clear just from the text that I posted above that they aren’t referring to reddit on the whole with this new policy.

By the way, your comments have been flagged as well as mine, meaning you are apparently just as incapable of following the guidelines here as myself. I’m not just going to “move on”, I’m still waiting for you to bring a well-reasoned argument to the table rather than personal attacks.

I like how you totally ignored my actual argument and wasted your effort trolling my comment history for any non sequitur comment you could find, all while once again completely ignoring the meat of my arguments. Are you familiar with the “fallacy fallacy”?

Perhaps the problem is that you aren’t making much of an effort to be well understood? Not to be rude, but your writing is so bad that I’m genuinely struggling to make sense of it.

What you seem to be saying is that morality is subjective, and therefore it should be immune from critical scrutiny. Am I off base?

Anyone can look at my comment history and verify for themselves that you are trying to poison the well by accusing me of arguing in bad faith. I assure you I am just here to get my side of the argument out in the open, but the irony of a “free speech advocate” trying to censor me with lame ad hominem attacks is pretty rich.

How about you answer your own question: who is the majority? You seem to be assuming that each individual community on reddit is frequented by a white majority. Where is your evidence?

You appear to be admitting in plain — though horribly ungrammatical — English that you don’t care about the difference between right and wrong. Why should anyone value the opinion of someone incapable of making simple moral judgements?

If you think advertisers refusing to have anything to do with platforms that refuse to serve as a check against hate speech is worse than platforms refusing to serve as a check against hate speech, then you very clearly don’t give a flying duck about right or wrong, either. Get your priorities in order.

While the rule on hate protects such groups, it does not protect all groups or all forms of identity. For example, the rule does not protect groups of people who are in the majority or who promote such attacks of hate.

Not a single word about white people not benefiting from such protections.

“Hate” has no definition? That’s a new one. Maybe consider consulting a dictionary.

That is not what they declared, repeating a misrepresentation of the truth doesn’t make it any more truthful.

This is how you know you have a really weak justification for your beliefs, when you argue against things that have never been said in order to tell yourself yourself that you hold the moral upper hand in an argument. I never insinuated anything like the argument you are countering.

Experience has taught me that people who enter into an argument with disingenuous red herrings such as this one are not interested in a good faith discussion, but I am always willing to give people the benefit of the doubt.

My argument isn’t that gassing Jews and conservatism are inherently the same thing, that’s a completely preposterous interpretation of my previous comment. My argument is that fear of losing status is at the core of all of these ideologies, and nowhere is that more explicit than conservatism.

Yes, of course. But they should be called out for misrepresenting policy designed to work against discrimination of racial minorities as a discriminatory act against white people.

I didn’t make the argument that racism against whites doesn’t exist. I am a white male who has been a victim of racism, too.

I’m making the point that policing instances of racism perpetrated against people of color doesn’t make white people victims.

Don’t like the association with racism just because you’re white? Then do something about it. Spread the word that racism is wrong.

And well, if don’t mind the association with racism quite so much as the fact that many white people are starting to be held accountable for their racist actions, then you are a racist.

It’s bizarre to me that you’d make a statement like this with absolutely nothing evidence-based to back it up.

Edit: also, it’s equally amazing and horrifying to me that anyone could think a middle-ground between white supremacy and racial equality is “healthy”.

Yes, it’s the ads that are the problem, not the blatant racism. What the fuck is the matter with some of you...

Someone doesn’t understand the terms “election interference” or “monopolists”.

What kind of fucking creep sees “cheese pizza” and immediately thinks of child porn? I’m fairly well convinced that the real conspiracy here is that the whole lot of you pizza-gaters are just projecting.

You’re outwardly speculating that it’s coded speech simply because you lack context.

Assange is not a journalist of any sort, real or otherwise. Journalists don’t actively participate in espionage, they don’t cozy up to ratfucking crooks like Roger Stone. They don’t withhold potentially damaging information because it might harm that align with most closely with their views. And if you believe nothing Wikileaks has ever published has been proven false, then I have a great opportunity for you to buy some waterfront property in Florida.

I don’t doubt that they exist, I’m saying that in no way do those accounts outweigh legitimate, non-spam accounts that stick out like a sore thing to anyone with a shred of common sense.

It’s not a “valid reality”, it’s the anecdotal experience of someone who uses dating apps to collect attractive women. In general, this is not how women behave on dating apps. This is how models who are obviously self-promoting through dating apps behave; it’s only your general experience because this is clearly what you are drawn to.

Do you think Apple isn’t getting their dues from Netflix?
