Whenever the word "lose" is stretched like "looooooose" does it mean "lose" or "loose"? Weird shower thoughts.
about a day ago from web-
@adiwan The only thing I can think of that would not be bad ( like the word 'Lose' would imply ) when loose is a timing scedule.
Pretty much the opposite of a deadline.
So... I guess it is pretty much always negative unless for that one in a million time it is not ?

Pay attention to the polarity, can not meet the. Element name element label polarity fair enough, I know what they mean here, there is a little table here pointing out that there is a polarity for things like LED and electrolyic capacitors, and it does not matter for the Monolythic capacitors & resistors.

You ever just realize your life kind of sucks a lot and you’re slowly running out of ways to make things better? I’m having one of those moments right now.

@mrmattimation Yes, every day. As for running out of magic juice to make it all better, that seems to be an eternal struggle.
That is why I occassionally have trips to either the liquor store, or Dr Liquor. No quite serious, that is her name.
I can recommend one for starters and the other for the advanced types of 'feeling down'Jonathan Chouinard likes this.

I wonder if it is possible to desolder the reset button on the ESP32-CAM and put it in a more tactical place ( for instance, on the side of a project-box ) I hope @Adiwan knows. I have not yet ordered the thing. Might be a kind of a deal-breaker.
about 8 days ago from web- Jonathan Chouinard likes this.

@drinkingpony Yeah. The solder pads are a bit small such that placing a cable might be cost some nerves. A little stress relief and hot glue might make it last. You can also short the reset pin directly on the ESP32 module but its pins are tinier. You can also use any other GPIO pin to trigger a software reset if you don't need all of them and a software reset works just as well as a hardware reset.

People who buy and play Blizzard games perpetuate the sameness of Blizzard games. There is not much incentive for Blizzard to innovate or to diversify their portfolio unless they have to after a decade of nothing.

@adiwan While that might be true, you do not go expect a baker to sell hammers without a hitch. Specifically in that you could have foreseen the original fans to complain about the decreasing selection of fresh bread.

@drinkingpony At least I try some other types breads that the baker offers.

@adiwan Which is good, but I still would understand those who who growel in protest as they grew up thinking that the bread of this particular baker was the best in the land.

@mrmattimation Well I am glad that you used the word 'real' to define a Diablo game so we can be disappointed together when it finally releases.

@mrmattimation Well I am glad that settled this great debate on opinions regarding whether Diablo 4 was going to appeal to either of us.

The feeling when you solder pins to a LED ring and then it falls down to the ground in such a way that the pins rip out the solder pads rendering the LED ring useless.

@adiwan I wonder if the EPS-32 has enough juice to run an imagemagic subroutine. You could wait till the PIR is triggered ( or not ) make a sequence of pictures, compare them with eachother using imagemagic, and send it away though e-mail or something.
Jonathan Chouinard likes this. -
@drinkingpony Compare them to see if they are the same ofcourse. No I do not know how to do that, I know you can though. The moment I figured it out myself I can do the thing I wanna do with my RPI

I hate it here so much but I can’t leave. I spend money making these cartoons and I never make it back (the next one will likely be a $500+ loss). I don’t have the following to crowdfund. I’m several thousand dollars in debt so I can’t take any financial risks at all. I’m now in a degree program I don’t care about because I’ve been rejected from the art program three times in three years and I’ve spent too much time and money at college to drop out. Everything’s just kiwied right now.

I'm extremely frustrated. I have to dumb down my VR training program a lot more than I already have. I'm told that people shouldn't be allowed to drop grabbed items. I mean WTF! They take out all the fun of flinging items around. Also all the dynamic things I've built in should be gone. "Only activate the items that are immediately needed at the moment of the procedure!".

@oracle In industrial maintenance, dropping items and tools can cause serious setbacks. My opinion is that a user SHOULD be able to drop items, and that the dropping of the items should create a natural penalty.

@adiwan I am interested in your work here because I have a lot of experience in writing technical training documentation. Mostly with an emphasis in SQF (Food safety and quality) procedures but also in the documentation of my own and my teams poorly poorly written code.
Jonathan Chouinard likes this. -
@oracle The main problem is that I'm not responsible for the storyboard of the training. I'm the one who has to convert the gibberish into code. What I get is a very linear script that tells the user what to do and when the action has been done the next instruction appears. I use a giant state machine (in my current one there are about 80 states) for that purpose. Every time an action or an instruction has ended the state machine advances. The storyboard has 3 "difficulty levels" in mind in which the first level the user get all the instructions and the interaction items are highlighted. The second difficulty level is the same but without the instructions, and the 3rd is with no highlighting. In every state only the currently needed items are interactable and nothing more. My current training has also a little quiz in the second level and a thing where the user has to order the steps on a whiteboard. It's on the level of a kindergartener.
