Do your homework.
  • Somewhere, in middle America, a tyrant had been allowed to grow and fester. "He still lives in the same house," they say, as if morality could be measured by possessions. This new type of villain requires a new type of hero. No super powers. No leaders. Just a commitment to ending billionaires, a list of names, and some affordable Molotovs.

  • The CEO already talked about, and then walked back after backlash, a subscription mouse. Sounds like they're going forward without saying anything this time.

    Impedance, floating

    What's the difference between impedance and when a pin on a microchip is floating?

    I get the basics of impedance. I'm capacitive impedance it's a build up of charge. Like air in a balloon. In resistive impedance it's a build up of the magnetic field, like a flywheel.

    A floating pin isn't connected to anything reference voltage so it can fluctuate with surrounding interference or whatever.

    Why do some ICs have tri state, low, high, and high impedance? Isn't high impedance the same thing as floating?

    If it is high impedance that means it had to be connected to something, right? Don't Some kind of big capacitor or inductor in the chip?

    Truck wraps are like Lisa Frank, but for truck personality bros

    Saw a "deer hearse" sticker the other day. So nice these guys have an outlet to express themselves. Like Lisa Frank stickers.

    T-shirts sleeves that poof out

    Poofy tshirt sleeves are the worst. Is there a name for how the sleeves are cut? When my arms are at my sides I want the hem of the sleeves to be touching my arms, not shooting out at 45 degrees. Same for any short sleeve type shirt.

    Guy before lovecraft [Pre-Lovecraft Works]

    There was an author before lovecraft, I believe he was an ambulance driver in ww 1, or something. I know he was on ww 1 and one of the stories talked about how much that shit sucked. I think he's died young, like 20s. Had a few published stories.

    Ring any bells for anyone?

    GPL + butt hole?

    License stuff came up the other day. Got me wondering.

    Could I use something like the mit or GPL license, but add a requirement that anyone that uses the software had to send me a pic of their butthole?

    What is the use case for this GPL + bhole license?

    Memes mostly. It world also need to have an age of majority clause.

    Then if the library actually gets picked up somewhere it would be a good extortion tactic.

    Debian on beagle bone black, basics?

    Messing around with Linux for the first time in a bbb.

    I've learned things like ls -1al, those types of basics.

    I'm getting the picture that Debian for the bbb is kind of bare bones, no pun intended. Is that right?

    I'm interested in some bigger picture basics like that. Any suggestions for resources?

    Selfhosted rss w/ push?

    With Google podcast dying I'm looking for a replacement.

    I'd like to unchain myself from the corpos if I can too. So I'm not interested in another pod catcher that'll just try to monetize me.

    Are there are self hosted rss readers with push? That seems like a great solution for pods and just about anything else I might want to keep up with.

    No more realistic super heroes

    I don't want a dark and twisted batman that watches Catwoman change through her window.

    I want a bat credit card and ice puns.

    The whole plot is that robin is scared of getting bracers. The joker taunts him with those fake chittering walking teeth.

    Simultaneous joystick 3-axis protocol

    Working on a joystick. Seems like any protocol I use to read from peripherals is going to be bottlenecked by having just one input. My microcontroller might have multiple ADCs, but there's just one processor stepping through them. Same for spi, or i2c, or uart. There's really only ever one sensor reporting back its data at a time.

    I know this might not matter for measurement resolution. Especially if you're polling at like 115k serial or something, but...

    That's 8 bits per axis, and three axis. Now that's at least 34 bits. To sample each axis we're down to only 4.5k samples per second. Plus whatever other cycles the controller has to handle... even if I spent half that time doing microcontrolle cycles at like 2k we're probably still well with the best star craft apms or whatever. I'd still like to find some way to really over engineer this thing.

    I read a little about tdm, but that's out of my league and I don't know if you could even have 3 simultaneously signals that way

    I'm thinking a microcontroller for each axis, and a usb port for each of them. So it appears like 3 different controllers to the computer. The user would just have to map the axis from the 3 controllers into 1 in their game software. I assume the steam remapping could do this.

    Is it just going to get smashed back into one thread in the computer's usb hub anyway?

    Any other suggestions?

    High heels: clop clop clop clop clop

    I get it. High heels are hot. Tighten the calves. Lift the butt. Taller. More step on me energy. They're hard to walk in. All valid points.

    However, the sound of heels, its like an insecure toddler stomping down a hallway. Just imagine a normal pair of shoes doing the heel - toes slap. Clop clop clop. Cringe.

    Too horny?

    I just had to turn down a prancing Wyll. I tried to let him down easy, but he wasn't getting the hint.

    Is this what it's like to be a woman? Dudes come prancing up to you out of nowhere like it's their best move, then get bitchy when you don't drop your pants for a two step?

    I know I risk summoning the worst of the Internet with this question. I'm still curious if anyone's experienced similar in the game. Maybe I'm way off thinking there's some empathy lessons in here. It's obviously not the message of the game, but maybe one of the messages.

    Sneaking is so broken

    Sneaking is op because you can start a battle with a sneak attack from Astarion and then the combat tracker is just Astarion and the enemies that saw him, or maybe only the little pillar of light that shows up.

    Once Astarion gets locked into the combat tracker you can still maneuver everyone else around the enemies sight lines and get a few more alpha strikes in outside of the combat tracker. My paladin -- in full plate -- can walk right up to an enemy that's frozen in the combat tracker as long as he doesn't walk into the sight cone.

    I beat dror, m, and gut in the goblin camp all without any of them taking any turns because I was able to alpha strike them into the dirt by just starting combat with the whole party sneaking, and then walking them right up outside of the combat tracker.

    Is there a party that can really exploit this? Ranger, wolf barb, shadowharts +10 party sneak, and an assassin rogue? Just alpha strike everything.

    Why do sports commentators talk soft bullshit?

    No shit skip, of course they shouldn't turn the ball over, or get red cards, or what the fuck ever. Passing gas in the bathroom and think it's perfume; literally shitty analysis I just heard on ESPN.

    Why don't sports commentators actually break down plays and strategy?

    Only one I can think of is jomboy breaks down pitches sometimes. Showed that the pitcher was releasing at the top of the throw for like 4 pitches of sliders then released like 20 degrees sidearm with another slider but because it was released differently it caught the batter and struck them out. Beautiful breakdown and I appreciated the sport and gamesmanship even more.

    Tooth doctor doesn't have the same ring as eye doctor

    Saying eye doctor in a conversation feels normal. Saying tooth doctor feels like listening to someone who had a bad disco elysium roll and they're punching themselves in the face to get the words out.
