yau8edq12ion How to Use I2C Devices in Apache NuttX: Scanning for Devices

I'm not sure I follow. Why would I want to "use" an mcu board the same way I use my linux desktop? It's not like I'm going to dynamically mount an SD card from a CLI for such an embedded device. Or that I would want to have a CLI at all. It is designed for early prototyping?

yau8edq12ion Help us invent CSS Grid Level 3, a.k.a. "Masonry" layout

I guess in that case you can just browse other websites. No website can pander to everyone.

Where did you get this number from?

yau8edq12ion Help us invent CSS Grid Level 3, a.k.a. "Masonry" layout

And yet, somehow, I browse websites using CSS successfully every day. Reality disagrees with your narrative, which is nothing more than a pandering "CSS bad" with little substance. "Not fit for any domain", "incomprehensible", these insults are based on what, exactly?

yau8edq12ion The Performance Impact of C++'s `final` Keyword

Unless the number of "else if" statements somehow grows e.g. linearly with the size of your input, which isn't plausible, the "else if" statements also execute in O(1) time.

yau8edq12ion The failure of the Domino's 30-minute delivery guarantee

The article elaborates about that at the end. This isn't "1980s corporate greed". It's just corporate greed, and it's just as relevant today as it was 40 years ago.

No deadlines or fixed commitments in academia? Surely you're joking.

Right. You got my point though.

yau8edq12ion Dehydrated: Letsencrypt/acme client implemented as a shell-script

> (implied POSIX) shell script

Why would POSIX be implied in any way? I mainly use windows, should I have been upset because I thought cmd or powershell was implied?

If "FCK" or "XXXCNTSLT" appear in the middle of the code, do you think the people who would have been offended by "SHIT" will be happier?

yau8edq12ion PuTTY vulnerability vuln-p521-bias

You don't even need a relay to use the windows SSH agent from wsl. Simply use ssh.exe instead of /bin/ssh. I've been doing that for a while (I make a symlink in a folder from my PATH that gets picked up before /bin) and haven't encountered any issues so far.

yau8edq12ion Can you really explain the difference? Subtle nuances of English words

Okay? Not what I asked, though.

yau8edq12ion Can you really explain the difference? Subtle nuances of English words

Others have commented on ethics vs morality. As for maze vs labyrinth... These are synonymous words. One comes from Greek, the other is Germanic. I wasn't able to find a single dictionary that defines a labyrinth as having a single path that draws towards the center. Where did the author pick up that from? Doesn't the author find it strange that the example from Greek mythology (the word labyrinth is Greek...) is already a counterexample?

Have you not gotten, over the past few years, emails from services you no longer use and probably forgot that you ever setup an account for, informing you that they will delete your account if you don't use it soon? It's because of the GDPR.

yau8edq12ion Why can't my mom email me?

Yes, I'm looking at a translated version. I didn't see any link to the English version, nor any indication that the version I looked at was obsolete. I guess non English speakers can just go f themselves.

Log retention is only part of the equation. How long does the project keep the email addresses?

yau8edq12ion Why can't my mom email me?

Is this page really the entirety of your privacy policy? https://keys.openpgp.org/about/privacy Because it's missing a ton of information, like who you actually are, how long you intend to keep the data, etc. I'm sorry to say, but this is really concerning.

The good thing about GDPR is that these keyservers must delete your info after some time unless you periodically renew your consent.

Where and how do you store your "index"? The number you wrote is multiple orders of magnitude higher than the number of atoms on Earth. It's not simply "not happening any time soon". It's physically impossible.

Montreal did it wrong so nobody should try again? I'm struggling to see what your point is. Montreal is in north America, not Europe, in case you're not aware.

Superpowers? Delusions? What are you talking about? I literally just watched the show (and read the book a few years ago). I cannot tell what you are referring to. Everything that happens in the show, happened in the book too, as far as I can tell.

yau8edq12ion A simple 3-body problem simulator

Yes, the original text clearly has issues. Like when the author explains that it's really a shame that the UN secretary general is a woman when the crisis happens, because a man would have handled the impeding war better. He backpedals a bit in book 3 - suddenly that secretary general is a shrewd political operator who managed to make the UN powerful through various schemes.
