Would like to see the primary tab color match the page background when activated.
Yes, so it would look like the same piece of paper.
Could create two tab objects from the same bitmap with different palettes.
The multi-neko code did it that way.
Yes, it would be easier if the tab only had three indexed colors; background, edge, and center zone.
The flexibility of the arbitrary image is a great feature. Useful for shadows for a groovy 3-d effect.
I'd be tempted to sort the tab objects so that the active tab was always in the top layer of the tab group. Makes tab width less critical, too. Probably would defeat using indexing though.

@lavish frost I’m not in front of my computer, but busio.Parity isn’t a module, I don’t think. So I think you should be able do something like:
import busio
uart = busio.UART(tx, rx, baudrate=9600, parity=busio.Parity.EVEN, …)
It's been a few days since I was debugging it, but if memory serves
import busio
parity = busio.Parity.EVEN
threw an exception as did
import busio.Parity
Either way, if the constant EVEN represents is 1 that could be all I need

If you can get the constants working, that’s probably safer than hard coding a 1, because there’s no guarantee that the value won’t change in the future… I think the odds of that are small, but not zero.

Thank you for taking care of your employees, so they don't have to worry about getting to work/getting paid during a time of crisis.
It's a little thing, but it makes such a difference.

I forgot to mention we save about 50% of our inventory by letting people pick what they want versus get everything prepacked

2FA is just a smart move in today's online environment. Be proactive and protect your online presence.
So much of our world's interactions have become gatekept behind "owning a cell phone". Serious props for being considerate of that.

Yeah my OS is using to 3.8 at the moment

I usually mix Python and C++ as need for production products. Sometimes node.js/TS/JS or Arduino
ionic garnet
Yeah my OS is using to 3.8 at the moment
I had to setup some new environments so I typically start by using latest stable and regression, especially on a low criticality system
Also, I had to interview several Python engineers and I wanted to be super up to date so I could assess their knowldge
turbid hill
I have a Deb 11 vm and it's using 3.10 but my primary dev environment is KDE Neon based on 20.04 LTS and it's still 3.8
sturdy dagger
I know Python is an interpreted language, but is there any technical reason that would prevent someone from writing a compiler for it?
turbid hill
but now that 22.04 lts is out it is just a matter of time before KDE Neon will put out a updater to bring the 20.04 to 22.04

does the ESP32 v2 support CircuitPython?
no. still lacks native USB. uses a CP2102N.

Avionics is still mostly rs232
not surprising. It can be challenging to upgrade key components of a long term industry due to a (often ill-advised) desire for background compatibility, inter-operability, and laziness!

Yes, @ionic garnet . Mostly large existing base and lengthy certification processes

the equivalent Roomba vacuum that the Create 3 is based on is ~$300, so probably similar pricing

that took a bit of digging... 30Hz sample rate is only mentioned in the Acc table (of the VL53L4CX).
