the target rp2350 is a sub-$1 chip. a 16x2 LCD module is over $1. but more importantly, you might have this much ram sitting around unused on whatever you're building anyway.

Doesn't quite meet the fantasy threshold. I can't seem to filter by allergens or dietary restrictions.

Paying taxes isn't optional. Sure you can invest more in the stock with external funds but that's not a fair proposition. If you were to tell me there's a certain chance of a stock going up by 100% we could also just buy calls with those magic funds and make far more money.

Do you have evidence for your claims?

I agree with some of the sentiment here, but why is it presented in an AI slop format? It's really a self-defeating message.

maybe. but somebody has to manually ban you if you do that. whereas banning everybody who charges back can easily be done in batch on the billing side

There are grounded duckheads for this purpose, e.g. https://amzn.to/4cnzuef (note out of stock. I guess your best bet is to use a UK duckhead, but half of those have a dummy ground...)

if you take the plug part from the brick you'll note that there's only two pins but the button-like thing is a ground

as noted in a sibling, the power adapter extension cable does plumb the ground through (https://www.apple.com/shop/product/mw2n3ll/a/power-adapter-e...)

I've never gotten motion sickness playing a video game before Return of the Obra Dinn. it's sad because I hear it's a good game but it's absolutely unplayable for me

ugh the most annoying thing about the conversation clash latency is that the person causing the issue just thinks others are being weirdly rude.

wireless headphones externalize the cost of latency to other conference participants. if you think your airbuds are "perfectly fine" it's because you're not the one paying the cost.

what? this article is making a different point if you read past the title.

Conventional leadership advice suggests looking at decisions as reversible or non-reversible. Many important, non-reversible, decisions are recoverable, though.

reliable message delivery, lol. slack drops messages silently. it is not fit for purpose.

is this still really the case? I feel like Facebook Marketplace has been significantly more dead than even last year. and it definitely seems completely dead for things like rental listings.

latency is absolute killer. then there's also the fact that splitting the output is difficult, pairing (especially multi-pairing) is finicky

but the real response is "what's wrong with a usb-c to 3.5mm adapter"

tbh maybe this service doesn't want you as a customer if you can't figure this out. it seems like you'd be an above-average support burden

you don't need to register the key. just have some sort of key.

c++20 offers `consteval` to make this clear, but you can do some simple macro wizardry in c++11 to do this:

    #define foo(x) ( \
        (void)std::integral_constant<char, (x)[0]>::value, \
        foo_impl(x) \
    )

no the point is that there should be _more_ shovelware like your app. the fact you were able to publish shovelware doesn't mean that there's a "revolution"; the number of apps published per time doesn't seem to be going up.

It's still there. Check the pg_dump command.

Yeah, this concept is interesting but the fact that the simplest test case gives what's fundamentally a surprising result is very annoying.

It also doesn't help that in the example, the expected outcome of 53.3333/46.6667 isn't even considered.

phantom drive B is explicitly mentioned in https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drive_letter_assignment#Order_...

the linked source checks out. diskcopy will also do this for you if you give it source = dest.

I don't know how much they "stand out" because their frequency makes it so that the optimal global leaderboard strat is often to just try something dumb and see if you win input roulette.

if we just look at the last three puzzles: day 23 last year, for example, admitted the greedy solution but only for some inputs. greedy clearly shouldn't work (shuffling the vertices in a file that admits it causes it to fail).

It's only a small selection of inputs.

I have a solve group that calls it "Advent of Input Roulette" because (back when there was a global leaderboard) you can definitely get a better expected score by just assuming your input is weak in structural ways.

Nobody wants 10 months in a year. What we want is 13 28-day months a year plus one or two intercalary days. But organized religion gets in the way.

I saw the diagram in the original blogpost, laughed, but after a bit of sketching it out I think we're both wrong. R/2R ladders are useful in DACs (and are really cool there) but don't look like they're used in digipot applications.

It seems like actual digipot ICs use the "2^n discrete resistors" approach. The IC used in this project is a MCP4141 which explicitly states in section 5.1 of its datasheet that for 7-bit (8-bit) devices there are 128 (256) resistors in a string between the terminals.

I'm a bit surprised this seems to be the best approach, but with IC manufacturing the joint problems of "a bunch of identical components" and "wiring it all up" are much less of a problem than if you were to wire this up by hand.

"All" isn't right.

You can only encode decision problems in NP into a SAT instance of polynomially-balanced size. Sure, that's a lot of things, but there are things provably not in this set.

Is that actually the story of Uber? They didn't start with "let a random person drive you around"; they did licensed-limousine-by-app (which is the incremental "boring" improvement this post hates) until Lyft came around. They quickly copied the model (Lyft launched in May; "Uber X" in July 2012 [0]) but that's something to be said for agility and not necessarily getting the right idea at first.

[0] here's a launch announcement with Lyft being listed as already being operational https://techcrunch.com/2012/07/01/uber-opens-up-platform-to-...

wtf, is this comment also AI written? this is peak satire

An A press is an A press. You can't say it's only a half.

it's not even aarch64. but what they're saying is they don't want to deal with the support nightmare of supporting anything but the unmodifiable SteamOS image.
