Massively. Funding got incredibly competitive when Brexit happened

One of the key killing factors is the sheer waiting time on a grant. It used to take a matter of weeks and months to apply for a grant and wait for a result on whether you got it.

Now, we're talking on the order of months to a year. Imaging telling a talented grad student who wants to work with you to wait a year to secure them a place.

This prompts a lot of researchers to pre-emptively apply for anything and everything at all times, increasing the needless competition and slowing down the vetting process immensely.

"you know it when you see it"

Is it difficult to hook microcontrollers together?

My outside understanding was that you match the voltage ranges of the pins via a level shifter, and then match the sampling rate with a dedicated clock pin?

I guess what I'm asking is, this is cool, but what problem does it solve?

For every person wanting to do good in the world there are ten windup merchants of which at least one has darker motives

isnt this where China would typically step in?

Oh it's an ADC of some type. GPIO takes 0 or 3.3/5V at low frequencies, ethernet signals are a continuous range of 0 to 2V at high frequencies. Fundamentally incompatible without the PHY+magnetics

How does wired internet technically work on these chips? Is it just 8 dedicated GPIO pins?

I gave away an old switch to a guy on Gumtree. He mentioned he was building a machine cabinet. We got talking. He's now my home lab shoptalk guy, and we meet in the pub every other month.

I gave away an old PCB to a guy in gumtree. We got talking. He's now my 3D printer shop talk guy, and we meet at the pub every other month.

It's surprisingly easier to foster your own hacker space if you trade goods in those circles.

Best part is that Gumtree/Craigslist/Kleinanzeigen let you define a radius to meet these people, so they're all local

I'd advise against the "Im lonely..." angle in seeking out these connections, go more for the "hey I've got this thing you might want..." style patter, even if the former is true.

And always use protection.

Will the complex apps be discoverable though, and if not, will the devs bother at all? I feel like this would be a win for old-school open source, where people would do it for the love of the aim, and better vetted app stores like F-Droid might win out

Make life affordable and give time outside work, and the population crisis* will fix itself.

Keep insisting on Draconian hours for unlivable pay, and you get what you asked for.

* Falling population is a political problem, not a social one. It also feels like this is the system working as intended from the higher ups.

Performance per Watt still outranks any other (quasi-)mainline linux device

can I ask why you bought it, knowing these limitations?

Great, now kill the NHS deal

Always glad to see south London get the love it needs.

Many stations along that line (Clockhouse, Elmers End, Ladywell) have interesting histories

This will go well. Just going to leave this here:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Truth_and_Reconciliation_Commi...

> The Truth and Reconciliation Commission (TRC) was a court-like restorative justice body assembled in South Africa in 1996 after the end of apartheid. Authorised by Nelson Mandela and chaired by Desmond Tutu, the commission invited witnesses who were identified as victims of gross human rights violations to give statements about their experiences, and selected some for public hearings. Perpetrators of violence could also give testimony and request amnesty from both civil and criminal prosecution.

I wonder what spanners Windows can throw into the works to slow them down at this point, or if they're so checked out of the Desktop market as they suckle down hard on that Azure teat, that they're more than happy to let Linux eat their lunch

slippery slope

Greetings, Bioconductor

It's an active attack on the Hobbyist space. Qualcomm buying Arduino solidified this idea in my head. They literally want us to own nothing.

Not to be confused with illumina's MARS-Seq (Massively Parallel scRNA-seq)

Im not sure I got it. It generates acoustic signals and a microphone server picks them up.

If so, will it penetrate through walls?

The 1830's reform of the UK, which begrudging wrestled power from the Lords and distributed voting power more evenly over the UK (rammed cities like Manchester had almost no voting rights), only happened when some of the Lords houses were close to being burned down.

Thankfully the UK didn't follow France into the anarchy that was the French Revolution, and Earl Grey could make them see reason. But damn did we come close.

The threat of violence that the worker wielded against their employer was indeed a good incentive to keep things amicable.

Nowadays, we don't know where the Lords necessarily live, the size of the Lords private armies don't need to be more than a handful of security guards, and AI/Robotics is diminishing the need for that handful of guards at all.

Amazing! Though v1.18.0 hasn't dropped in F-droid yet

Wireguard VPN to your home network, and then you can do anything

blue than 90%, same verdict with turqouise, though what I call turquoise is bluer than what is shown

I can definitely see the resemblance to the False Minoshiro's from Shinsekai Yori

Same with Journey, a beautiful landscape that you traversed with other nameless ones, mirroring each other's actions and falling into a cohesive unspoken group mindset

I'm currently flying at Mach 10 on a custom call sign, breaking all kinds of barriers on a single heading. I cannot be stopped.
