The housings are not sealed. At least not on the older Aura H2O models. That model's water proofing achieved by a coating on the PCB. I googled this in a panic when a significant a…

I believe that the top-level comment you replied to is making the point that there should not be any authority that either allows or disallows what a user can do with the device th…

I still use it regularly in 2024 to load data onto embedded devices running U-Boot. It saves me a network cable if one is not otherwise required.

As another paying user of Kagi I wonder what prevented you from using another search engine for the six hours that Kagi was unavailable. Search engines are not like your email prov…

Here's what I cobbled together for Arduino [1]. It ain't pretty, but it's short and it works. [1] https://paste.sr.ht/~tsegers/53adaecd734e7159352f152ac1dcc85...

I'd argue @ is more suitable for a dereference operation than an "address of" one. It functions that way in an email address too.

Would you say that the Linux kernel is written by mostly "100% subpar C programmers"? Because it's an extremely common pattern to have multiple goto labels at the end of a function…

How are they possibly not the victims after the distributor orders a vast quantity of product, goes MIA for months, and then proceeds to go "whoops, just kidding, here's your stale…

Whats the actual difference between sending ten identical low-effort auto-generated emails and ten unique low-effort auto-generated emails?

> So FreeSoftware/OSS people don't work hard? That's not a fair conclusion from the parent comment at all. Software developers _do_ have the right to prevent their work from being …

Sourcehut's tutorial on send-email is pretty good: https://git-send-email.io/

Using software in accordance with the terms of its licence is not shameful.

That's exactly what a lot of users that do development on a beefy remote machine from a light machine they use as a terminal want. Ssh+vim+tmux is a pretty common setup. That netwo…

The Uno has a _giant_ ecosystem behind it going back over a decade and it's more than enough for most beginner mcu projects. That's the appeal. Other than that, it's a pretty weak …

Compiling their example with the Arduino toolchain seems to fill up about 90% of an Uno's 32k flash space. I think that rules it out as usable on anything that doesn't have a large…

And neither would you see headlines about a human child learning to read, yet if a monkey were to do the same it'd be up here in no time. The noteworthy thing here is not the activ…

If someone claims that not a single actor failed to deliver it's a perfectly valid response to use the worst actor as a example to the contrary.

Using basic statistical methods to determine effective policies can result in policies that a lot of people would consider unfair and unethical.

I think that the linked article described that messages that arrive out of order can still be decrypted despite the decryption keys being generated in a strict order. As far as I k…

> Why would anybody need this? Because they have no experience using a terminal, entering commands and finding documentation

While that is true, ranges and intervals are not native constructs in quite a few languages.

The -1 with 0-based indexing occurs very frequently when using the amount of elements in some collection to derive boundaries of the indexes, which will range from 0 up to and incl…

No, it works. It's just non-obvious that it does due to the reliance on 4 levels of braces. It is equivalent to the following: lhs.Major Deduplicating (lhs.Major == rhs.Major) decr…

That's still one action more than is required for using a synchronization service. The killer feature is not having to do anything at all. I save my file on one computer, and it's …
