It's worth point out that on many microcontrollers (STM32's at least), configuring a pin as a "digital input" means that the signal is routed through a Schmitt trigger circuit that…

This is true, I just didn't want to admit it as someone who joined after 2015 but before 2021...

I would argue that Meta had already overhired by the beginning of 2021, and the hiring spree was continuing.

Probably Microcenter in Brooklyn is your best bet, but still limited selection. It really feels like there should be a hole-in-the-wall gaming PC shop in LES - maybe we should just…

Maybe not if one of those items is always in your backpack. A few other use cases that I think they're great for: - Throw one in your checked bag when traveling - Mount one in a re…

Or just, I don’t know… package your software?

The fact that the Adafruit team continued that thread unabashedly after Paul Stoffregen's first reply is an awful look in my opinion. Doesn't seem like anyone here is behaving like…

This comment shines a spotlight on my issues with the US auto market. None of these vehicles are sold in the US, for a variety of reasons - both economic and regulatory. I hate kno…

My 2004 RX-8 had decently solid ESC, but it was a “high-end” vehicle at the time. It’s definitely something we want to keep in our idealized vehicle (but let’s also keep the “disab…

This is my exact same sentiment. I’m cautiously excited about the upcoming Slate Pickup[1] - I can see it being my go-to if I leave NYC, but it still won’t hit like the XJ Cherokee…

What about if you’re hit at 10mph? Of course any crash at 55 is fatal for a cyclist, but most impacts with cyclists don’t occur at highway speeds.

That’s true, but Zen1 TDP is a lot higher than an RPi. Hitting that level of performance in a power and heat envelope that works for a Pi probably demands a smaller process node, u…

But you exit going faster, which means you make up time on the straight after the corner.

> Also the claimed "Rush to buy electric vehicles" put revenue only 2% above expectations? The rush to buy electric vehicles was baked into the expectations, so beating by 2% is st…

Many states allow a state tax deduction for 529 contributions, which could net you up to an 8ish% discount if you’re in a high tax locality (e.g. NYC).

Yeah, I just did a project at work with an RP2040 and was really impressed with the Pico SDK. It hits a sweet spot in between ST’s insanity and Arduino’s easy-but-not-powerful trad…

There are two completely distinct differences that jump out to me initially that I think may help justify your feelings: 1: Reading a long book demands focus on a longer timespan t…

Thread is a mesh networking protocol mostly targeted at IoT and smart-home connectivity - it's basically a Zigbee competitor.

I enjoyed looking at this one too - playing around for a minute on paper with it was fun. The numbers in each row (when cols is set to 6) are of the form: 6n+1, 6n+2, 6n+3, 6n+4, 6…

Hah - there I go acting like I know more about Europe than a European. TIL!

Most European countries use . as the thousands separator and , as the decimal point.

I didn’t know this, and it jumps out to me because 10k is pretty much the exact difference between room temperature and wine fridge tenperature - I wonder if this is actually not a…

I was curious what these numbers look like if people get their extra calories from carbs instead of animal products: - A 100g cooked serving of pasta has 131 calories [1] - This ra…

This brought back memories - GLTron was fantastic. It was always either that or TuxRacer that would get fired up after finally getting my ATI drivers sorted out on whatever distro …
