Yes, Arduino, Raspberry Pi, and ESP8266 are the best "cheap MCUs" for personal use, quick shipping, good documentation, for a one-off USB keyboard.

For the RPi Pico specifically, the TinyUSB driver is the way to go. This also supports USB host (plugging a keyboard into the Pico), but that didn't support the mouse scrollwheel when I tried.

If you're interested in larger-scale manufacturing, and are willing to invest more time and effort in once-off R&D to reduce the per-unit cost, then there's a lot more options of other MCUs (e.g. PIC, Cypress, STM32).

Mitch Davis gave a great talk at the Embedded Online Conference this year (which my wonderful manager assigned us time to watch during working hours!), where he bridges the gap between hobbyist Arduino development and professional Embedded engineering. (It's closer than you might think)

Miro Samek also has a great series of lectures (which I learned about in the same Embedded Online Conference), which then levels up from an Arduino-style "superloop" to an RTOS, Active Object design pattern, and beyond.

Welcome to embedded development, I hope you enjoy creating new gadgets, and don't forget to share your adventures with the community so we can encourage you along!

> (From the article) I found that having a physical paper show up at my door made me more likely to read it.

So true. I had the same experience with magazines. Growing up, I would have a magazine in my hand all the time. Somewhere in between, I moved on to digital versions, but it just hasn't been the same experience. I also feel I retain information much better given that a physical copy has fewer distractions compared to 10 open tabs and banners and snippets and what not while reading online. I haven't bought a physical magazine in quite some time, maybe it is time to try them again.
> A newspaper has a start and an end. That's as simple as it needs to be for me to move on with my day.

That's the heart of it. As the author writes, "Once I've read the paper, I'm done reading the news." I try to get most of my news from a weekly newspaper (in print) for that reason, though I admit I've had middling success maintaining discipline about this lately.

There's no fundamental reason a digital news outlet couldn't achieve the same property by exclusively releasing stories in a discrete "edition" on the web once per week. I guess the incentives just don't line up to make that happen.
> Imagine telling someone 15 years ago that YouTube was going to turn into the biggest entertainment entity ever.

Disney holds that crown. There's no likely scenario where YouTube by itself will surpass Disney, especially given how well Disney+ has performed.

Netflix is also a lot more valuable than YouTube and far larger in terms of sales.
We talk about CO2 all the time but the ongoing combined de-oxygenation and acidification of the oceans & bodies of water seems like such a vastly more real present & immediate threat to me.

This article's looking at more radical, longer term shifts. But we are already well well well into the suffocation of the sea. And there's a lot of sea we're suffocating.
Played on the 2600 at a neghbours house as a kid, and grew up around Amiga hackers. For many years I have wanted to find a way to pitch one of the luxury conglomerates like Kering, LVMH, or Richmont, on acquiring all the Atari brand assets and relaunching it as a heritage technology brand (it's the Barbour of tech) that does acquisitions of niche craft tech companies using a business model akin to the way Hermés supports its artisans, and then create products to compete with Apple. Lux tech has always been too vulgar and they could never get it right because they didn't understand it. But by acquiring the right niche technologists under a cool umbrella, in 10 years I could make it bigger than Yamaha.

`if x < 3: x = 3` is valid Python, although I see your point - you could add an `else` to the Lua example but Python would require a second line.

> a form for short Python-style lambdas would really help

Interesting - many in the Python community feel that its lambdas (particularly the use of `lambda` as a keyword) are too verbose and would prefer something like `x => x+1`. Maybe such an arrow-function syntax is achievable with Python's new PEG parser - I'm fairly sure it couldn't have been supported by the old LL(1) parser.
Ah yes this makes sense thanks, that's a helpful and clear explanation.

In this case, for my personal needs, I'm OK with this happening - my requirement is not for highly accurate frame timing.

Other people might however, in which case your advice should be taken into accoujnt.
> Very little innovation in the past 5-10 years.

That means the time is now! The changes and innovations that we are looking for are being formed right now! I can't wait to see what comes out of all this. Sure the HN community is getting a little homogenized but the creator of the next big thing is likely already here among us, and they're unknowingly depending on us to seed them with the concepts and values that we care about.

At that point, why not copy what people do with android? Just run a dummy "vpn" on your system that null-routes traffic going to microsoft-controlled domains or IP blocks. By no means a perfect solution for sure, but a really good one in practice.

You have remember to clear the telemetry cache and reconnect your system to microsoft to get updates from time to time.
Basically, I was poor so I lived in a bad neighborhood, all the schools were bad except for the g&t one, this and the SHSAT are awesome for allowing smart immigrants in poor neighborhoods to get a good education. Now one may ask why not make all the schools good but the issue wasnt in funding, there were deeper societal issues among the students who went there, which isnt an easy problem to fix
disagree. i pay for Netflix and YouTube, but I get a lot more value out of YouTube.

The saddest is that Commodore had the new Ranger chipset[0], by the original Amiga team (they finished it and largely left), design-ready in 1987. This chipset was superior to ECS[1].

But they cancelled it despite finished, because they deemed it "too expensive".

Commodore's mismanagement and cluelessness ran deep.

Related, the upvoting has a snowball effect. I'm sorry to say but most people are too lazy to read a link that doesn't already have a few upvotes. Why is a post with 800+ points on the front page more worthy of your clicks then a brand new post? ( And yes, i'm slightly bitter my submissions aren't more popular)
This probably won't happen for another billion years or so. But when the change comes, it's going to happen fairly rapidly, the study from earlier this year suggests.

I would really hope that within a billion years we have managed to find other planets, built massive cities or worlds in space especially given the potential collision courses with other galaxies around 1.9 billion years and the expansion of the star we call the sun that will eventually engulf the earth evaporating all the water.

Look, whatever it’s meant to show, it also looks like a security nightmare that implies a lack of understanding. Are we supposed to ignore that because it’s pseudo code? Clearly some of us think not.

It’s not the select that’s the problem, it’s the clause, so your explanation also seems to imply that misunderstanding on your part is real.

Personally, I feel the same way about cell sites today. There's a surprisingly enthusiastic community online for keeping tabs on them and tracking site design changes/upgrades. Cellmapper.net is the homebase these days and their subreddit has tons of posts asking the community to identify sites based on pictures of the equipment.

I don’t know if the United States is willing to see U.S. young people coming back in body bags for the defense of Taiwan.

It's not just a few body bags. The US intends hitting the Chinese mainland in their War Plans. The question then becomes "Which US city do you feel like swapping for Taiwan??"

When the Germans attacked the Soviets, I wonder if they foresaw that Berlin would be completely destroyed within a mere four years.
Like others said, try to make it's so you do not have to store anything. Otherwise, AWS has Secrets Manager for example but thatll probably be expensive for user scale in which case you can encrypt and store in DB.
I also recommend an onscreen magnifier that appears and disappears on hotkeys. I use MacOS' built-in one, set up to show when ctrl-alt are held. I have only moderate myopia, but the magnifier makes it much more comfortable to look at small-ish things on the screen. There's an image that you wish was bigger? No need to open it separately or bend forward—just mash the keys, bam, it's half the screen now.

On the non-hidpi screen the magnifier pretty much took me to the days of 800x600 screens, causing frequent reflections on how the times change. But on hidpi, it's more like I get a 1280x800 screen in the magnifier. Works like magic for images with small details, e.g. aerial photos: almost like peeking through a telescope.
> If the science isn't finding an effect, they are either not measuring the right thing or they are not measuring it with a large enough sample size.

This is a very dangerous idea to have. Placebo is a very well known effect.
Adding tags/topics has been a constant requested workaround to allow some filtering since almost the begining of HN.

Never understood the rejection.

PS: I have always read that it opens mind to other subjects. When I have enough time I agree, but when very busy I would favor some filtering to save precious time.
> That’s how you distinguish between good mods and bad mods — by passing democratically accountable laws that tell us what we are and are not entitled to.

Government involvement would worsen the problem by a million. I'm also tired of tip-toeing around what is probably a real conspiracy. That whistleblower could easily be a plant by the government. We already know there isn't balanced political moderation with big tech (they censored the former president), so there's nothing stopping them from trying to expand that control and do so in a transparent, legal way now. They just need an excuse as always.

I'm all for regulating big tech, but if anything it should be other tech companies. Why not have private businesses specializing in content moderation do the regulating? I think there are many solutions that don't involve government, but I suspect they are salivating at the prospect of having full control without the need to pretend they don't. Then these laws will become permanent and it's only two steps away from requiring this as some national profile, but that's another thread.
If you measure by market cap perhaps, but if measured by time watched YT probably comes up on top (but that's just guess)

It has homogenized a bit, but perhaps this is why more contrary opinions need to speak up. I find myself often reading an interesting exchange that ends in a squinty grey section of text, and I sit there for a moment, frustrated, and trying to figure out what the dissenters downvoting see that I don't. Perhaps more well-reasoned rebuttals would be what HN needs to bring some of the old flavor back.

Before you ignore me and pass on, I've been active here for enough years to remember when you could discuss just about anything and people almost gravitated to a contrarian opinion to figure out how someone could get such a different view. People now seem too quick to downvote with no comment, which in my opinion is a loss for anybody following up after that who is missing that context.

It is the conversational equivalent of the person who makes a forum question about an obscure bug that goes on for about 30 replies or so, and then at the end its just the intrepid OP showing up to say "thanks guys its fixed" and nobody has a clue what got fixed or how. To me, this is the laziest form of discourse, and I think it is worsened by people being too comfy in their peer groups and despite advocating for diversity, not valuing diversity of concepts and viewpoints.

And when I saw that article I immediately recalled all bogus "research", that indicated that ionized radiation is harmless (sure thing, buddy) or that various carcinogens (currently proven to be carcinogenic) are actually good for one's health.

Billions of people have been using computers for decades. They are not going blind. There is no epidemic of insomnia. At the same time, there are thousands, who claim, that looking at monitor with adjusted gamma feels more pleasing and helps their sleep. Why are they saying so?

Instead of studying the actual phenomena (different monitor gamma acting as signal to sleep) the "researchers" went out of they way to confirm something, their sponsors wanted them to confirm. Circadian rhythms? Nah, never heard about those — let's just check for retina damage and eye strain after brief 2hr period.

Most screens are too blue. Not in a personal preference sense, in an objective sense. That's why monitor profiling and color correction are important.

The abstract has a few more details

>>> We find that future deoxygenation is an inevitable consequence of increasing solar fluxes, whereas its precise timing is modulated by the exchange flux of reducing power between the mantle and the ocean–atmosphere–crust system. Our results suggest that the planetary carbonate–silicate cycle will tend to lead to terminally CO2-limited biospheres and rapid atmospheric deoxygenation, emphasizing the need for robust atmospheric biosignatures applicable to weakly oxygenated and anoxic exoplanet atmospheres and highlighting the potential importance of atmospheric organic haze during the terminal stages of planetary habitability.
What's special is the ability to publish cryptographic proofs on public social media profiles to link back to a central identity.
