Re:Your Next Smart Home Device is a $30 Used Kindle
on Sunday November 13, 2022 @10:26PM (#33589920)
I have a similar setup at home with an M5Paper[1] to display a daily screenshot of my homeassistant dashboard.
It's a neat little device based on an ESP32 chip with an e-ink display and some sensors.
I never thought about using a Kindle, even though I have an old jailbroken Paperwhite... It fits so much better for this usage, and would certainly have saved me days of working around hardware limitation.

Re:Flatten Arrays in Vanilla JavaScript with Flat() and FlatMap()

You can use a type guard[1] as an argument to Array.filter, but the function has to be explicitly typed as such.
I don't know why the type isn't narrowed in Array.filter like it is in if statements without this weird workaround.
const array: (number | string)[] = [];
const mixedArray = array.filter(value => typeof value === 'string');
// mixedArray: (number | string)[]
const arrayOfString = array.filter((value): value is string => typeof value === 'string');
// arrayOfString: string[]
