While OpenWRT is really good and often the best one for really constrained Linux HW, adding features like secure-boot and secure storage to the builds can be much more difficult th…

For more training data, I wonder if you could make Lego parts in Sketchup or some 3D program, then render them in a 'scene' similar to your camera setup using a renderer like Maxwe…

Thanks for writing this up and adding all these detailed notes! Super awesome work on this, it's very cool. The air puffs seem like the most unreliable parts at the moment? Maybe i…

His way is a lot safer. It's never a "$1" chip, you also need a power supply for that chip, breadboard (or dev kit) which puts price into cheapo webcam range. On top of that, break…

Personally, rather than thinner/lighter I'd pay for it to be a bit bigger but capable of letting me open it up and replace RAM and the SSD as was possible up to the 2013 ones.

:( I think you just called yourself stupid.

Check out DirtyPCBs too. Based in Shenzhen but offers next-day DHL. Usually a 4 to 6 day turn-around time for me; great prices and good quality too. If you're in a bigger city, als…

What keeps it from crushing you while you sleep?

Vim for everything (C, Python, JS/HTML/CSS, etc etc) except Android development, I use Android Studio for that.

This here is right on. I will add that if you can afford the time and effort to do so, it would be good to design your system in the beginning to work on multiple providers without…

As the hiring party, how would you feel about a hypothetical deadline from the hiree on how long you have to evaluate them and present an offer? Would limiting your time for that e…

This is very cool, thank you for making it! I just have one concern: Does the AGPLv3 license mean I need to open-source whatever other service I make that might be making use of th…

It's what fuses and diodes are used for. You know how when you write a program you never trust user-input? This should be the same thing, but physically. A well-designed USB port w…

I also advocate for Java, but mostly because I invested in companies that manufacture RAM.

No big deal, you can make it work. axTLS is a pretty lightweight TLS implementation that you could strap to your TCP framework and make it work fine. It's also BSD-licensed so you …

You can program the ESP8266 yourself. For its TCP stack it uses lwip which you can also compile yourself. The 802.11 stack is more of a black box though, but not necessarily the TC…

Hmm, look's like Vishay's VCNL3020 in there? Or the good ol' Sharp GP2Y0A21YK0F. Left wondering why you need a base controller and the dual-PIR's though, especially if the PIR's ar…

So what do you think of https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/London_Agreement_on_German_Ext... ? Perhaps everyone in Germany would be better off still re-paying that 50% that was just rem…

Hmmm I was under the impression that cash was part of their operating expenses. They have retail stores, their campus, most of their employees and all their most expensive employee…

From http://www.aboveavalon.com/notes/2015/6/13/apples-cash-dilem... it seems like Apple may not actually have the cash to do this, not in the USA at least and it would need to pay…

I'm unsure of how to reconcile the conflicting things Cook says, then does: http://www.businessinsider.com/apple-china-security-checks-o... China will ask for keys and Apple will g…

I find this policy incredibly sexist and am very surprised it came from a woman. If the cause of this was women's supposed inferiority at negotiating, does Reddit prevent women fro…

Agreed, but touchscreens and SD or USB means connectors, which are often a significant part of BOM cost and take up space. If you can do it all from the one-chip/module you have in…

The CC3XXX "SmartConfig" was complete garbage the last time I was evaluating it on a CC3200. It didn't work on 802.11n networks, only b/g. And that was when it worked. I got it onl…
