Perhaps it is coffee [1,2], not porn, that is the principle hidden driver behind digital progress. [1] https://www.bbc.com/news/technology-20439301 [2] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hyper_Text_Coffee_Pot_Control_...

Also the “hello world” of 3D modelling:

(Ok, technically that is a tea pot. but the two do share a common design an form factor).

OH, THIS IS THE SAME EXACT COFFEE MACHINE I OWN. THANKS FOR THIS. Now I just need to have a robot putting cups under the dispenser

If you’re the only one using it and you’ve got at least two cups, you could place an empty cup each time you remove a full cup.

I want to shout-out the btleplug library again. I've tried to work with several different BTLE libraries in the past, and I've always had a ton of problems. btleplug works flawlessly, has as good of an API as is possible given the intrinsic complexity, and is a pleasure to use. Thank you btleplug team <3

I'm currently writing Rust for my bachelor thesis using bluez_async[1].

btleplug[2] is great, but at least on Linux I prefer using bluez_async directly, which btleplug is just an interface for there[3], to avoid one more layer of dependencies.

bluez_async is quite similar to btleplug, and, from my experience, if you know one you can use the other just fine.

I'll tell you my theory: it is (or at least, was, for a long time) gaming. There are so many gamers, and they bought expensive hardware, and replaced it frequently. That made developing processors and video cards pretty lucrative. Hence GPU-based neural nets and Bitcoin miners.

Or a Goldberg-esque contraption for automating that part of the process
