I expected electrical transformers, then Transformers with a capital T, but not this. (still, very very cool!)

They'll just say economy was doomed because of Biden anyway, and that it's not their fault.

We're seeing "it's never enough" play out right in front of our eyes.

I mean, aren't a lot of sci-fi authors' predictions coming true? It might not be exactly the same as they predicted, but we're heading there.

From the 4th line in the article:

> But getting stuff onto it was tedious. I had to join its hotspot and open a little upload website in my browser. Yuck.

Anyway, very creative, I like the idea a lot.

> Ok it’s not exactly $60 but you can get the board itself for that amount of money on eBay if you’re lucky

I guffawed. And then closed the tab.

Sometimes I wonder if people are just writing these for the sake of having written something.

Had no idea it had ads. Thank you ublock origin <3

I just entertained myself with this for 30 minutes.

It can't. People will simply stop clicking links.

Yeah people replied to cold emails back when they received one once every 3 months. Now we get dozens a day. Straight into the garbage.

I don't know why I was expecting to be amazed by the photo.

I really wanted to work on making a niche game with one other person. Never found that person.

No. What they need is to stop being told "ok this is good enough now we need you to implement this other highly-necessary half-assed feature using ai as fast as possible."

First day of paradigms course in the 2000s and prof says "if your opinion of Scheme is too many parentheses, then you're an idiot."

Needless to say that was my opinion and every day I think, more and more, how right he was.

(later I did make some gui apps that included scripting and chose s-expr syntax because of how simple it is to implement it)

It used to be that raspberry pi was a cheap pc. Well it's not longer cheap.

And at their price point, you could just get a mini PC and have better performance, or if you want to use it as a microcontroller, you can just use an arduino, esp32, or an actual microcontroller for a fraction of the price and power consumption.

So, what do people actually do with these pies?

Really hits hard when you have to go to Home Depot to buy 6 spade connectors for $7.99 to use in a project with 3.3V 300mA max, when you can buy about 500 of them from Aliexpress for the same price.

> meanwhile, the real issue is wealth distribution

This is so mind-boggling to me. Why do the poor keep defending the billionaires?

So many words just to say you want more money.

> Younger workers have zero political leverage to change it because our demographic is just too small to matter at the ballot box.

Because:

Saturn V was 60 years ago. It's okay though, we will have a colony on Mars in 2024.

There was a time back in covid days where you had to have an app on your phone to go through customs clearance in Canada.

Can you translate this for those of us who don't speak rust?

Web interfaces aren't any better. They're designed to for aesthetics and not functionality. Not to mention the fact that they all have their own UI idioms that you have to pick up on.

Not only did we use it several times every week for 4 years, I spent 4 years writing tons of programs on it. Best $100 ever spent, thanks mom & dad.

This sounds like something straight from LinkedIn...
