When I had this issue, it was fixed by disabling and removing the speech-dispatcher. Something to do with text to speech (I never use it but is sure to be a pain if you do need it)…

It does seem that way, however, in none of the AdaBoxes I've gotten from them have I had to sign up for their cloud services. That's where you think they would push it hard, but it…

Neat. I'd love to see what that looks like (raytracer or cradle). Found an old Hack a Day from 2014 ( https://hackaday.com/2014/11/25/ray-tracing-on-an-arduino/ ) where someone is …

Adafruit offers a starter kit with a microcontroller, 64x32 led matrix, and some other doodads for ~$70 ( https://www.adafruit.com/product/4812 ). It's really easy to tinker with. …

Neat, there is a whole section on dungeon generation in there too!

My favorite from that collection on map generation is by Herbert Wolverson: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TlLIOgWYVpI He goes over 5 or 6 different techniques that are easy to im…

This may interest you; might not be what you were asking for. I haven't built one, but keep an eye on it and dream of free time to surface mount solder and poke around with it. The…

Freeze the video at 1:47 and you'll see K352 4SDYU from STMicroelectronics. Dug a little and came up with M24SR16-YDW6T/2 which can be found in DigiKey here: https://www.digikey.co…

It's somewhat difficult to find, but is in their administration section. Backup: https://docs.nextcloud.com/server/stable/admin_manual/mainte... I haven't found it documented, but …

Sobering to think of the true (hardware only) price of that postcard in full view of anyone handling it: $36k ($450 * 81). But amazing to think how far technology has advanced.

Reading again, it does look like the installation is limited in some way if you choose to use public keys and your user doesn't have the privileges (without sudo) necessary for som…

You are right, I missed the one liner above this that stated it needed one of these methods: [password, kerberos, or public key]. However, it does sound like if you use the docker …

Why does it require that the server has password logins enabled? This seems contrary to every "secure your server" guide I've seen and opens your server up to the password guessing…

Just wanted to say a big thank you for this site. I used it when trying to figure out how to hook up an RFID reader to the Pi. It was suprisingly hard to find the pinout, but final…

What you've said can and does work for telling time, but from watching a few of their videos it looks like the watch part of this device is a secondary function. It connects to you…

Searching for the paper mentioned in the article turned up this: http://www.orc.soton.ac.uk/fileadmin/downloads/5D_Data_Stora... The five dimensions are in the first paragraph: Mor…

As an additional data point, a former client (female) addressed our mixed-gender team as gals. This is something the article explicitly calls out as taboo. It didn't bother me (mal…

You use a breakout board to get the connector you need to hook it up to your computer. So for the 5v mini you would get something like this: https://www.sparkfun.com/products/9716 …

You'll want an Arduino that has headers and a usb connector already soldered on and the usb cable to fit it. That's really the bare minimum. From the article, this one looks like i…

It's Java ;P I haven't used C++ in a long time. But you are correct a reference does exactly what he wants. For anyone who needs to look it up like me: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki…

I'd certainly prefer to be able to reason about the code with the safe assumption that certain things cannot be null. You can do this, but if you want it to be maintainable, you'll…

From the help button in the top right, it looks like you can rotate and flip the components. (To GP)It definitely wasn't the easiest to find, maybe have a tutorial video showing ho…

I received an email a while back from them basically saying they were going to start taking privileges with my data if I didn't go to a page and opt-out. I don't remember the text,…

If an assumption can be made that you won't put null values into the map then it can be rewritten where it doesn't need to do the check described above: value = map.get(key); if (n…
