Get meal kits delivered. You still do >80% of the cooking but it takes out all of the planning and shopping.

I was lucky(?) to grow up with a great cook and gardener for a mum, so I'm not even really sure how you exist without doing this at least. Pardon my naivety, but what do you eat...? Is everything unwrapped from plastic or from the local takeaway joint?

I can't be bothered running the datasheet through a translator but there seem to be sleep modes at 2.5uA and 200nA.
We don't need to argue about climate change, we can argue about whether or not this tax will have any measurable effect on it.

I would argue that the benefit to reducing emissions pales in comparison to the harm to Danish diets, industry, culture, health, etc.

Even still, in an ideal world, the Danish government would represent the Danish people. Initiatives that disproportionately harm the Danish people - even if there is a net global benefit - would be off the table.

If I governed both my own nation and a nation of people I hate, I would impose the $100 tax on those I hate in order to subsidise cattle farms for those I wish to prosper.

This is the kind of oppressive tax a spiteful hegemonic elite would impose upon a conquered populace it governs to humiliate, physically weaken them, financially burden them, and disrupt the livelihoods and legacies of people who have been working their land for millennia.

There's no "but". That's exactly what this is.

>They don't trust experts or scientists

This is correct. This is it.

I am a "conspiracy theorist" regarding most of the examples you listed, and I completely reject the notion that your average quadruple-vaxxed normie has sought overwhelming evidence in support of their position.

Especially, the idea that conspiracy theorist types are less inclined to seek counter-evidence than average is laughable. A gigantic proportion of the populace very strongly adhere to mainstream viewpoints on those topics, yet have absolutely zero knowledge of or even exposure to contrarian evidence and narratives.

Every single holobunga denier could recite for you, in far greater detail than the average person, the mainstream statistics, timeline, motivations, etc. Only a tiny minority of believers could tell you that, for example, the chimneys at Auschwitz were constructed after the war and aren't even attached to the gas chambers; the gas chambers had unsealed wooden doors with none of telltale stains indicating the use of lethal amounts of poison gas; 'death camps' featured theatres, swimming pools, sporting teams, even hospitals complete with maternity wards; the Germans permitted the Red Cross to conduct independent investigations of these camps at the time and no evidence of mass executions was found; no camp liberated by the Allies was ever found to be a death camp, curiously only those investigated by the Soviets; the Allies airforce were deliberately targeting German supply routes, including those supplying camps, and even strafed inmates being transported between camps; typhus was rampant, and Zyklon B was used globally to disinfect clothing and people to try to reduce casualties from this deadly fever.

The "experts" have destroyed their credibility in almost all fields. They are liars.

I'm the most racist person you can imagine and I don't get it.

Also when she was "dating" Chad and convinced herself that he was simply "non-monogamous" as if that's some kind of character trait like snorting while laughing.

>As someone who’s monogamous, I was nervous when I began dating someone who was non-monogamous

He'll get laughs for years about the thirsty Asian drawing diagrams in their Kickoff meeting to convince herself this was a trendy new dating experiment she was overseeing and not just telling herself whatever she needs to to join his rotation.

This person has absolutely no place offering dating advice.

Cool. How can we help?
This is why it's important to bring green energy towards affordability, especially for marginalised and indigenous populations. If Aborigines had been given concessions for Teslas, who knows how many species could've been preserved?
>The birds are thought to have been eaten into extinction, with climate change hastening their demise

Undermining two core tenets of modern Western mythology in one fell swoop? Somebody is trying to be cancelled.

Academia discriminates against non-Whites by refusing to give them the same opportunity for rejection that we give Whites. Academia keeps the black transgender woman down by burying her in scholarships and unmerited acceptance letters.

Complexity. It's now playing catch up trying to support all of these different chips with all of these different peripherals, capabilities, and errata in quick succession.

As a developer, it's much more difficult to navigate when there are 8 files with the same name, 5 registers with the same name defined in different files, etc. A lot of code is heavily punctuated by ifdefs to selectively include and exclude lines for different targets, making it more difficult to follow. Intellisense struggles, no matter how well it's configured.

I could deal with all that but it's the runtime cost that is the worst. ESP-IDF is constantly getting bigger and slower. All of these abstractions, structs half-full of pointers being handed about at runtime, dead code being linked in for features the chip doesn't even support, it all has a cost.

This is even worse in binary blobs where conditional compilation is more difficult to do. I'm not convinced they're even trying though. A single commit that only mentioned WiFi 6 changes increased my binary size by over 10kB. On a chip that doesn't support WiFi 6.

FYI the RP2040 has peripherals too, a lot of the same ones.

It's very clear that GP has an odd misconception that an ESP32 is some kind of development board complete with "connectors" and possibly a battery charger, while an RP2040 is just the SoC itself.

Re:I like the RP2040 on Tuesday June 11, 2024 @12:32PM (#40648296)
What part of that contradicts my comment?

To be clear, GP is the one saying the ESP32 is more than just the chip itself, complete with battery controller and camera connector.

Re:I like the RP2040 on Tuesday June 11, 2024 @11:55AM (#40647829)
No, that's both "just the chip", the chips have different peripherals. They both have the usual SPI, I2C, UART, ADC, etc., and they have their differences too.

I could just as well say "For an RP2040 to do USB you wire the RP2040 to the connector. For an ESP32 to do USB you wire the 32 to another chip, and that other chip to a connector."

It's clear to me GP has the impression that ESP32 is something more (a development board with an ESP32?) than the ESP32 "chip" itself.

Re:I like the RP2040 on Tuesday June 11, 2024 @11:31AM (#40647434)
It's safe to assume he's talking about the chip in both cases. You can connect either of them to a battery charger, camera, or nuclear reactor but all of those 'peripherals' are completely irrelevant to this comparison.

If you anticipate the need to update the bootloader, you would use a multistage bootloader approach where the first is never altered (as the bootloader should never be altered) and its main function is to select which updatable second stage bootloader to load from multiple options (multiple so that even if one is interrupted mid-update by the application, there is a valid fallback).

My gut says if you're worried about this in the bootloader, it might be doing too much.

Re:I like the RP2040 on Tuesday June 11, 2024 @10:37AM (#40646662)
Nobody in their right mind is updating a bootloader in the field OTA, let alone one inaccessible on a mountain top.
Re:I like the RP2040 on Tuesday June 11, 2024 @10:27AM (#40646555)
nit: There are 6 different espressif microcontrollers in that table, not "dozens".

Espressif also went many years with only the ESP8266, then many years more after introducing the ESP32 before this recent binge of releasing a new series every time they blink. ESP-IDF is really suffering for it, so I hope Raspberry avoid this fate or at least find a better way to support them all.
