The results of this study actually presents that PLA fumes are more toxic than ABS fumes.

In practice though, the study shows PLA is safer because of significantly less fume creation with the lower printing temperature.

So relative risk for PLA is significantly lower than ABS, but it is incorrect to state that PLA is less toxic.

I'm always conflicted with this.

My gut says any new student should start with an interpreted language like Python or JS/TypeScript. As that gets you to running code, and core concepts like variables, loops and if statements in little to no time.

However, there is value in learning some of the under the hood concepts such as pointers, structs, memory layout, endianess, pass by reference, compilers etc.

I don't think schools need to teach employable C/C++ skills, but C/C++ is a great language to play with and experience these core concepts.

However I'm not sure if the value in learning these concepts are real, or it's just my own interests/nostalgia. You can have a successful career in this industry without having to manage a single byte of memory, and it arguably makes sense to accept abstractions at their face value so you can focus on what builds your skills/product.

Should take a look at their up coming digital logic analyzers too. Sipeed is packaging up some very interesting hardware at cheap prices. Barely any documentation though, so prepare to get your hands dirty!

I have but unfortunately it’s not available in my country. Would be a great product if it was available more internationally.

As someone with ADHD, I’ve stayed away from this product because it is a subscription service.

I will sign up for subscription services fully well intentioned and then proceed to not use the service and forget to cancel it in time. I know myself well enough now to stay away from any product offering a subscription. There is no real “managing” it, it’s just a fact of life for me and something I live around.

An app targeting ADHD minds and not offering alternative payment options is arguably more predatory than the average free-to-play mobile app, as the founders of this app presumably know about the difficulties that ADHD cause and are either willingly ignoring it or actively exploiting it.

Even if it’s a honest accident, it leaves a bad enough taste in my mouth to stay far away.

This is the true story here. How does putting tariffs on parts that hackers/innovators use to prototype new products help the American people? If you don't have enough funding, and a large enough customer base to get your electronics manufactured offshore, you get hurt by the tariffs.

I feel like China may welcome this with open arms, bolster their own manufacturing by cutting out DIY'ers.

While I'm not the biggest fan of this style, mostly because of the semicolon thing, I like packages like these.

When you're starting a new project with more than one developer you're going to run into people talking about this stuff more than actually making the project. Pre-bundled linting rules just gets everyone on the same page immediately and stops all the discussion.

I honestly don't care what the style is, 99% of them are sane and readable, consistency is what matters. Nothing worse than working in a project with 5/no styles all over the place.

I personally have been able to get it all the way up to 1.4 on my ZTE Open. It's a mess to do, you need to build the OS from source then splice it into the boot file provided by ZTE and edit some init scripts. It runs perfectly fine after that but I can't comment on stability since I only use it for app testing

This project reminds me of ptunnel http://www.cs.uit.no/~daniels/PingTunnel/

I've used it to get free internet at universities and hotels, slow but gets the job done. ICMP usually isn't filtered by those kinds of firewalls and I've yet to find a place that blocked it.

The window is pretty accurate. I've had shipments take a week, and others take 1+ months to the exact same address. It is pretty much random and I just assume it's going to take longer than a month.

Homebrew has updated to 1.0.1g since 6:00PM GMT. It's important to note that this isn't an issue unless you have an outward facing service that uses TLS and the brew/macports library

I've posted this link in a separate article but I think it is more useful here. https://wiki.mozilla.org/Security/Server_Side_TLS#Nginx_conf...

How to build openSSL statically into a source build of Nginx, just finished running this with nginx-1.4.7 and openSSL-1.0.1g and it compiled just fine. You'll have to tweak it to your environment of course.

For anyone wondering general best practices for setting up HTTPS on Apache/nginx I found this to be a really great resource

Anyone know if you can still use an older client to use the api? I guess if you can it's just a waiting game till the client becomes unsupported.

I agree, more space for the keyboard. Using a Trackpoint on a T400 was suboptimal, but very much improved from a standard windows touchpad and I would be happy settling with one on a Surface.

Not going to lie, posts like these make me really want one for myself. I've toyed with using a tablet and keyboard combo and doing all my work as a networked thin-client but it is nowhere near the experience of working on a laptop.

Having a tablet form factor with the hardware to run everything locally and a physical keyboard is exactly what I am looking for. Sure there is the MacBook air which is an awesome device and has its advantages over the Surface 2, but to use it you need to be in a "deployed" state even if it is just on your lap. With a surface you can quickly check up on email or just relax and then deploy when necessary or convenient.

I think the only thing that still would bug me is the touchpad, I haven't used the new keyboard cover but I'm almost certain the touchpad experience is no where close to a MacBook, correct me if I'm wrong because I'd love to hear it. I feel carrying around a bluetooth/usb mouse with it everywhere is going to be required to get a comfortable production experience which would be a nuisance.

I would doubt it for some time. Mozilla are aiming at the ultra budget market. We have expensive iPhones and Androids, mid-tier androids, but ~$100 androids are few and almost guaranteed a bad experience. Firefox os is targeted for low end cheap devices to steal the "feature phones" market.
