Someone should do a business case study on Adafruit. It seems they are really well loved by folk like us here now. I often buy stuff from them that I know I can get cheaper. Clearly there are many factors that lead to their success including their origin story, woman owned and a gifted engineer, the personalities of their people, the volume of content both on YouTube and in docs for their products, CircuitPython, Made in the USA, preaching of tolerance and kindness... I'm sure they had many struggles and people could learn a lot from how they overcame them.

Cricut is an American brand of cutting plotters, or computer-controlled cutting machines, designed for home crafters. The machines are used for cutting paper, felt, vinyl, fabric and other materials such as leather, matboard, and wood. In March 2021, Cricut filed for an IPO.

I wish I knew the satisfaction of soldering both sides of header boards! Always mess up something first try

I find dividing the black headers with side cutters less effective than prying the whole black plastic off as one, starting at each and and wiggling down

I always shove a row of pins into a breadboard, plop my board on, tack a few pins, then pull it out and continue soldering the stable solid pins

Question for the Q&A time: now that the EU is changing VAT tax rules, do you think this will severely hurt makers outside the EU? I don’t feel like Tindie has intentions on helping makers collect VAT for makers outside the EU. And the methods for collecting and paying VAT otherwise feel very cost intensive for small maker companies.

#

I know at least for now after June 27th I won’t take any more EU orders because I don’t have the means to navigate the new EU regulatory environment.

Thanks man. Jibo is now owned by NTT Disrupt, an incubator for NTT. So maybe he still has a chance. Most challenging job I've ever had and I've had a lot of super hard jobs over 38 years. It was my job at Jibo that got me into RPi. We were planning to switch to them for our simpler manufacturing tests. I wrote the tests in Python and some C code. Built the private network and installed the test machines in contract manufacturer in China. Really amazing experience. That's just one of about twenty things I did at the company.

teal river

It would be cool if Jibo came back from the grave!

#

I really need to get into a job that's a challenge instead of doing helpdesk DX

I also was early employee at Affectiva which was just acquired. But I know tons about facial recognition, white male bias, and machine learning. I have the coolest jobs. Check me out of LinkedIn.

Ok, so LadyAda keep pretending that the Show and Tell that this done in a real factory... but how do we know it is not some green/reflective screen trick like @haughty quiver. What would be the best way to proof this is real? Fire with a Nerf at the background? Go and pick something from a shelf in the background. Waiting for your best suggestion here.

fallow fractal
#

@wind spoke Not sure what you're asking.

#

You're not supposed to believe in any visual evidence that you yourself did not create. This applies equally to flying saucers as it does to greenscreens.

#

On the other hand you're not going to challenge Mom when she says that's her Aunt Tillie in that photograph.

#

If I say "on three!" and she throws the football out the window on the count of three .. and I'm watching that window with binoculars, and it comes out at the right time, I'm apt to believe I'm viewing a live feed, timing-wise.

#

But she could have Mister toss the football out the 'wrong' window in time with her faked one.

#

So that's not proof either.

#

what is this a game show

wind spoke
#

So we have no way to tell... and the non-believer will continue to not believe it is true, live, from NewYork in a factory.

fallow fractal
#

I believe it because the foley is good.

#

They have an air circulation system (or the like) that comes on during the show.

#

It's a bit distracting and a signature sound.

wind spoke
#

Deep fake, special effect, any sound ingeneer can do that. 🙂

fallow fractal
#

That's just not the kind of detail people are imaginative enough to add to a faked media presentation.

#

You also need a reason not to believe it.

#

Occam's Razor somewhat applies.

#

Somewhat.

#

You could Holmes it and say rule out the impossible. Whatever's left, however improbable, is likely to be the case.

#

(words to that effect)

wind spoke
#

"Holodeck, stop program"

#

Saying that should proof it is not an Holodeck.

fallow fractal
#

Yeah but the world isn't your oyster, after all. It is not obliged to prove itself to you, especially if it isn't being faked to begin with. The onus is on you to bring suscpicion to bear on x, whatever x is, I think.

teal river
#

Although it could also be a highly sophisticated holodeck that YOU are in, so it's really your holographic drone going to the holographic studio with holographic Ladyada and PT

Hey all -- It's early in the morning where I am, so maybe my humor detector isn't working, but I suggest dropping this line of discussion because, humor or not, it can be read as "Promoting or spreading disinformation, lies, or conspiracy theories against a person, group, organisation, project, or community".

Try shutting down the distortion (upper right) and the poly lfo (lower row, 3rd from left)

Not yet, Display_Shapes is still bitmap I think. For drawing arc's I do not know of a great way off the top of my head. Using two cricles and a rectangle layered up cleverly could do it possibly, but would be fairly elaborate. It would be nice to have something simpler.

git submodule deinit possibly?

It's meant to be auto-generated, but it's not been running properly on Community recently.

The docs and pypi links are extracted from the indiviual submodules.

Those files were never updated after Initial commit with files from the Adafruit bundle.

There was a typo at Line 8

The README.txt is needed for something (possibly adabot) related. I tried to remove it before and it broke something.

I have indeed seen this sort of design before! I've seen it in times without shortages, but I don't know if it was an old design from an era with shortages

#

I remember that Arduino!

#

Multi-sourceable design

#

Desperate design :P

How about poly-padding?

Double-down is when you invest more in a previous design XD

Apparently according to people on the internet 333 is the "Angel number" and it's a sign of somethingsomethingIstoppedreading

#

Urban Dictionary says it means half evil

#

Also kisses

#

Or a baby devil

#

Also, most revelvant, "A number"

#

... is anything related to politics removed?

#

political thing with a noteworthy US president involved

#

involving person becoming president

#

Maybe this is a Presidential Space Box

Thanks for listening to my Ted Talk

@open girder After re-reading my comment, poly-padding still seems like a pretty good term for it. (flip-flopping, that is)

As long as it isn't trademarked, lol

Hopefully you got your desk flipped over without injuring yourself or others. You may have found out it wasn't soooo bad rolling it over in bursts a quarter-at-a-time. BTW, I got mine up, and have a suggested mod for you.

@opaque hearth I didn't have any issues, but it was the smallest at 46". I'm planning on getting the 62", and that I already have help lined up for.

And I really dig that mod, didn't know it was removable that easily.

opaque hearth
#

@waxen thistle Yeah, I read it might have been glued, but I think it it just had a very weak attachment to the desk shellac. It gave up pretty easily. 😁 Great desks! it's home for my new 3d print hobby.

#

My past desks were Ikea Galant -- great 10 years ago, highly customizable. But they have aged like milk, not wine. Especially with needing height changes.

#

So that desk is retired, and a piece of it is in the corner for my 3D printing actually.

@haughty quiver I recently upgraded from Ikea Galants and Harbor Freight benches with one of these Husky hand-crank work tables:

https://www.homedepot.com/p/Husky-46-in-Adjustable-Height-Work-Table-HOLT46XDB12/301809931

#

And I can't say enough good things about it

#

Only negative I could find is the side supports are flush with the left & right sides -- so you can only clamp onto the front and back of the table.

#

Unless you're super creative with a deep clamp.

#

But looking at those photos -- very slick looking galvanized pipe design.

I'm feeling very self-actualized as a result.

In addition to the quick costume changes, will there ever be a guest arm?

question: the product page says "At the time of launch, there is no Arduino core support for the chip on this board. ", perhaps I misunderstood @haughty quiver saying arduino support

try maybe export BLINKA_U2IF=1 instead of export BLINKA_U2IF="1"

I've used this sensor to measure the thickness (aprox) of the sides of the wood in a acoustic guitar, and also for (kinda) measuring magnetic noise in a customer's server room.
