For anyone curious I ended up getting this three in one that also acts as a signal generator. I'm gonna be doing some basic signal processing for an EMG HID project so it'll be useful to test whether my FFT captures frequencies accurately enough.
@smallsees Excellent this is exactly the sort of thing I was looking for. Ty!
6. A cool robot arm that can act as a 3d printer, laser engraver, or pen plotter.
Anyone have suggestions for cheap ish oscilloscope / voltmeters? I'd like a two in kne if possible, it's okay if it's not super high resolution or whatever. I just need something to get started. Boosts appreciated.

The question of whether CSS is a programming language serves only one purpose: to demote those who write it.
There is no confusion that needs to be clarified, and no other purpose in asking, beyond the most trivial kind of pedantry.
The debate itself is an act of gatekeeping, whether intentional or not. Its only significant effect is to elevate some work over other work, despite their essentially identical nature.
The only meaningful function of the question is segregation. #css

I am officially Totally Over Tailwind and I can't see myself using it again. Plain CSS really is so much nicer when you know a bit about what you're doing. My markup is so much easier to handle and read now. Everything's just... simpler and less noisy, and I can make big appearance changes without having to change a bunch of non-CSS code?
@brandon TBH mostly moffed that I can't find my breadboard and random resistors and diodes.
@brandon I'm thinking I'll start with a puck.js since it has a good form factor for what I want. Defs gonna get some ESP32s. Seems like the way to go nkw that ESP8266 is less popular :o

I am very pleased to be able to share that I've been awarded a grant by NLnet Foundation's #NGI Zero program (@NGIZero)
You can read all about it in my most recent blog post: https://cryptography.dog/blog/announcing-webxdc-evolve/
Looks like I've misplaced my Arduino over the past 10 years of moves. 😰 Time to get a new one I guess!
@jonny @evangelos That's awesome. I wonder how people will advertise the connection and actually distribute the native side. Managing both a web extension and a native app feels a bit niche if both have guis. No or low guis seem easier to justify but feels like there's fewer user facing things that could be successful with that setup. Stuff for nerds tho is an easier sell.
Ahhb this is where an FPAA would be great to do some preliminary signal processing to make it easier to find just thw spikes I need to send the microcontroller
@Filene powered! They're super cool IMO. Event driven feels better than the mainloop in arduino IMO.
How fucked up would it be to use JavaScript on a microcontroller to read from EMGs to give me a new usb mouse/keyboard that's just a bunch of wires I strap to myself? https://www.espruino.com/USB

Probably not for typing any time soon but maybe for window manager shortcuts and moving my cursor?
This was around when coffeescript was a thing and transpilers were all the rage.
Fun fact one of my first public speaking things was the Otrawa Ruby meetup where I was showing folks how to compile ruby to run in web browsers :P
@am@decept.org i treat discords and group chats like forums
ms and I feel that. I just wanna keep up to date on all these feeds :P
@am@decept.org PHP people need to use WASM more just for the meme.
Honesrly the "niche computer stuff" fandom seems pretru chill compared to a lot of them. People aren't gonna get that heated about shipping a php+js app or whatever.

Many yearn for the "good old days" of the web. We could have those good old days back — or something even better — and if anything, it would be easier now than it ever was.
