Not my fantasy.

My personal preference is to use the Espressif libraries rather than Arduino libraries, but I used to program micro-controllers for a living so I'm more comfortable with that development environment.
Were I designing a product that uses one of these I would certainly not use the ESP8266. For hobby projects, if I can buy them on Amazon, eBay or elsewhere, the 8266 remains a valid choice (for me.)
I also have to link my favorite pattern, XKCD's homage to John Conway: https://xkcd.com/2293/

I'm not a web developer.
I don't understand how content pulled from another system (by a web page) is not supply side. Does it really make a difference that it is pulled in before the page is delivered or as it is rendered?
If they visited a grave and said "let's do lunch" it would be no different.
It's often clear from the comments they leave whether they are honoring a friend who has passed or reaching out to someone they think is still alive.
Too many times I've been invited to wish a deceased friend "happy birthday." I go to their page and find it memorialized. Nevertheless, there are many friends wishing them happy birthday, oblivious to the indication that the page has been memorialized.
The worse was the time my wife discovered her brother had died via FB. He had estranged himself from the family decades earlier, but still... A shared friend posted the status to his page, otherwise we might never have found out.
I've got a BME680 on a Raspberry Pi reporting the values it senses. I'm confused about how to interpret the air quality readings as far as what is good vs. what should be concerning. Is that what you mean by "hot garbage" or are you not satisfied with the accuracy readings themselves?
1. As traffic builds and distance between cars decreases, the flow becomes susceptible to "shock waves". (Just search Youtube for "traffic shockwave" for an example. I think it happens when someone taps their brakes and the next car behind them has to brake a little harder ans so on down the line until traffic comes to a complete stop.
2. As a commuter and occasional weekend driver I recognized two traffic patterns. During normal commutes, the same drivers drive the same routes every day and most settle into a pattern of maintaining speed, remaining in lane, moving to merge and so on in harmony with other drivers. There is the occasional outlier, driving slower than everyone else or weaving in and out and trying to get ahead by weaving and passing in whatever lane momentarily has space. On weekends I see drivers who are unaccustomed to the driving situation and simply don't mesh well with other traffic. Even though there is generally less traffic, it does not flow as well. There is more lane changing and stuff like crossing three lanes to get to an exit because they forgot where they needed to exit.
Excess traffic is a problem and unfortunately we seem to be able to overfill the available capacity any time it is increased.
When I worked in downtown Chicago I was very happy to be able to take commuter rail to work rather than to have to drive, but those options seem to be more the exception than a regular option. That's a different discussion.
Ba-dump-tish.
I also wonder if home users will ever be able to buy one of these? Will the predecessor show up in the used market?
Got me started. Probably still useful, hardly available (unless your library has it.)
The last big brood was a bust where I live (About 30 miles west of Chicago downtown.)
I think I'd characterize that as "their only identity." What's the chance that some number (>1) of actual agents were sharing this identity? If that's the case, I'd extrapolate that to multiple identities. In fact the social engineering to gain the trust of the original maintainer likely involved several identities.
I suspect that detectability of intentionally injected bugs would be very low.
I worked in the US steel industry (Not US Steel, but similar) in the 80s. We went through several waves of this kind of consultant. One was Hay and their job was to convince us that we were getting competitive salaries. We weren't, particularly engineers.
It's usually a smoke screen to allow management to do what they want/plan to do and then blame their decision on the consultant's study. It does not bode well for Red Hat.
I thought SSDs would last longer than 9 months w/out losing data when not powered.
ROM - Read Only Memory - programmed at the time of manufacture.
EPROM - Erasable Programmable Read Only Memory (AKA UVEPROM because they could be erased using UV light over a period of time, and they had a quartz window to admit the UV.)
EEPROM - Electrically Erasable Programmable Read Only Memory. IIRC it required a special device to erase.
It's been a while since I worked with this stuff but I don't ever recall hearing it called flash.
One of my complaints about so many SciFi stories is the use of seemingly conventional weapons. I always thought that with so much advanced technology that weapons would be much more sophisticated. However if the next "great war" is won not by the side with the most destructive weapons but by the side with the best kill switch, subsequent conflicts might be fought with weapons that did not rely on any kind of computer assistance.
This is eerily similar to Einstein's (purported) statement that if World War III was fought with nuclear weapons, World War IV would be fought with sticks and stones. Similar, but for entirely different reasons.
I'm trying to understand why the characters in Dune fought with swords, pikes and knives.
I use the overlayfs provided by raspi-config.
> We tapped our trees ... and had just about normal production levels.
That makes me wonder if the cartel is priming the pump for a price increase. Perhaps there will be another "great maple syrup heist" resulting in a shortage and skyrocketing price.
Not sure I'd want burning things on a boat.
I just looked up the authors of the article from their links at https://www.researchgate.net/publication/363885520_Seals_wha... and none mentions geology, though they did mention paleobiology, paleontology and fossils.
What did I miss?
Shouldn't that be "paleontology nerd?"
