Correct, and here is the beautiful giant uint8 array containing the blob:

Can't blame you for sticking with the SRAM, DRAM is expensive now anyway. :D

But yea, big MCU is also how I tend to explain application processors SoCs, just transitioning to tons more RAM and having bigger cores is the main difference.

@alphastrata as terrible of an idea this crate is, i don't believe it violates crates.io policy. they have a rule against abusing crates.io's resources, but not against abusing other's

@ai6yr @Dougfir @W6KME I have one just like that, it now has a LiFePo battery tucked in where the leaky NiCds were. Very light and useable if you want to put a bunch of teeny holes in something.

After four years being awoken daily and too early by the hot water pipes expanding when the boiler goes on at 06:00, it has only occurred to today us we can reschedule for a later time.

Er... And also Stoke Newington is... Er..... notgniwenekots

@stux The system is working as designed, which is 100% the problem.

@ian I'd say multiple inheritance applies there...

reddit got bad because spez (the reddit admin) restricted API access to the platform for third-party apps, such that people would be forced to use the official app or web UI, both of which display advertisement and collect user data (e.g. scroll behavior).

the reason why this happened is because reddit is a for-profit company and tries to extract money out of the userbase, at the expense of the users.

another example of a bad decision that reddit made was to push a lot of ragebait (“Am I The Asshole?”) because company shareholders want to see “engagement numbers” go up, and if somebody writes an angry reply to a post, that’s “engagement”. but it makes you angry at the stupidity of the “Asshole”, so it makes your day worse. that is another example how reddit makes money at the expense of the users.

size (number of monthly active users) is not what made reddit bad. commercialization is.

we should probably get rid of the “don’t make lemmy grow, it will ruin the platform if we grow” idea.

Datarama Tuatara Week, #1:

Unless you're a terminal-stage herpetology nerd like me, you probably think this animal is a lizard. It's not, though - it's a tuatara. The last living member species of a group of reptiles (the rhynchocephalians) that had its heyday some 245 million years ago, just a short while before the rise of the first dinosaurs.

There are *many* distinctively unlizardlike traits to a tuatara, and I'll cover some of my favourites throughout this week. And I'll start with the one that is most clearly evident without close examination: Their gait.

Tuataras move in a slow, distinctive "waddle" with a completely consistent diagonal footfall pattern; a trait they share with salamanders (and 400-million-year-old early tetrapods). They cannot change their gait at all - they can't trot or run, only walk. They bob up and down while walking (basically vaulting their centre of mass up and over their legs as they walk), with only relatively little lateral movement. Most lizards have at least 4 different gaits that they dynamically switch between as they pick up speed (over 50 species can do a fully bipedal sprint).

There are anatomical reasons for this. While their legs sprawl out sideways similar to those of lizards, they have much less flexible spines than lizards do - and they have a much longer ribcage, with rigid ribs all the way down into the abdominal area. Lizards throw their bodies from side to side in wave patterns (which is how you can maximize stride length if your legs face sideways) and usually keep their centre of gravity vertically constant, so more energy goes into going forward than up and down. Furthermore, tuataras have primitive single-chambered lungs without bronchia - basically mostly smooth air-filled bladders - and simple hearts without all the valves that allow for controlled blood flow during a sprint.

However, you won't see tuataras walk much. They live life very, very, *very* slowly. They're purely sit-and-wait ambush predators, and adults are (unbelievably) apex predators who never have to run to escape anything.

@TheBreadmonkey @amiserabilist @internetsdairy @TwoClownsEating Stroud Green Road in Finsbury Park. No idea why.

The fuck in the thinly veiled threat or spectacular poor taste are they implying?
