Peanuts is relative. Makerfabs units cost what devices sold out of the United States do, and have excellent build quality, good documentation, and now, out of date source code. Funny thing though, I contacted them. They got back to me and provided me updated code.

And yet even though there are probably 100 new languages a year that actually make it into some sort of larger visibility there are none like that. Which suggests to me at least that they just do not work. In the same way that I have seen, several different times, people attempt to 'improve' C/C++ by adding clever macros that serve as nothing but attempts to do custom enhancements to the language. For example adding 'begin' and 'end' as substitutions for open/closing brackets.

There can't be very good overlap with embedded and js when it comes to hiring. And I don't think it's a personal problem it's just that language is like that new article post with the human skin fake face out of Japan. It's an abomination.

One of the points made in my essay is the superiority of autodidactism is at least due to the opportunity to read multiple authors. I discovered even in specialized technical fields different authors have new and different things to say even on the same subject.

I ended up going with is_color_model<> which makes perfect sense in my library's vernacular where a color model is a composition of color channels with particular names.

Thanks. I mean in hindsight, I agree because I used the stuff I engineered for. :) Edit: As far as directx, that's true, except for the format used for the last mile native draw surface. the alpha channel is not used in that situation. I actually do use variadic templates to do my template definitions. (background docs if you're interested: https://honeythecodewitch.com/gfx/wiki/pixels.md[^]) Each pixel has one or more channel_traits that are fed into it using variadic templates. Like so: // creates an RGB pixel by making each channel // one third of the whole. Any remainder bits // are added to the green channel template using rgb_pixel = pixel< channel_traits, channel_traits, channel_traits ; // creates an RGBA pixel by making each channel // one quarter of the whole. Any remainder bits // are added to the green channel template using rgba_pixel = pixel< channel_traits, channel_traits, channel_traits, channel_traits ; // creates a grayscale or monochome pixel template using gsc_pixel = pixel< channel_traits ; // creates a Y'UV pixel by making each channel // one third of the whole. Any remainder bits // are added to the Y' channel template using yuv_pixel = pixel< channel_traits, channel_traits, channel_traits ; // creates a Y'UV/A pixel by making each // channel 1/4 of the whole. Remaining bits // are added to Y' template using yuva_pixel = pixel< channel_traits, channel_traits, channel_traits, channel_traits ; And here's the actual pixel class. // represents the pixel base class template str

Try it ;) I think it simply informs the compiler 'you are aware' about a maybe not safe conversion ...

Their problem solutions will continue to solve their problems. Nothing will abruptly stop. Nothing will stop at all, if we are talking about Windows applications in use for solving problems for users. Besides: The end of W10 support does not automatically lead to the availability of tens of thousands of Linux applications ready to solve the problems that the Windows applications handled. Even if OS support ends, software houses will continue giving application support. Users will continue using their W10 machines until one of their primary applications, one that their business (or private life) is critically dependent on, comes in a new revision with extensions absolutely required by the user, and this new application version is not available for Windows 10. Software houses may be using W11+ functionality, but not for many years will they unconditionally require W11+. Maybe in one case, or four, but not in the other ten thousands. That didn't happen with any previous Windows (or other OS) revision; it won't happen this time. I am not aware that any of the applications I use cannot be run under Windows 7. If my problems are solved to my satisfaction by my current set of applications, it is highly unlikely that there will come an application revision so fundamental to me that I cannot continue without it. If that is the case, getting a W11+ machine is a viable option. It is probably far less risky than going to another OS, and, at the same time, to a completely new set of applications for all my tasks, crossing my fingers that they cover all my tasks, with all the functionality of the Windows versions of all the applications - including that new functionality that I critically depend on, the one that made me abandon the W10 application suite. Most users use PCs primarily to solve problems. Not to run an OS. Religious freedom is the freedom to say that two plus two make five.

It didn't. Some PIO update somehow either nuked the propagation of the flash partition tables to the project, or it is ignoring them altogether and going to a very conservative default (for an ESP32) of 2MB, which I get half of normally. So what I did was I got that 16MB.csv file which specifies the standard partitions on an ESP32 with 16MB flash. Then I referenced locally within the project instead of trying to get PIO to just work with what it had, because it wasn't Check out my IoT graphics library here: https://honeythecodewitch.com/gfx And my IoT UI/User Experience library here: https://honeythecodewitch.com/uix

I've always thought exactly that. Except I don't have any vegan friends. At least, not any self-admitted ones. That I'm aware of.
