3.5 is still reasonably useful for the same reasons you described, imo… Just less so.

I’M LATE FOR… (checks itinerary) WHATEVER THE FUCK I WANT

But I thought you needed to reach your friend?

Lol beat me to it.

Yeah, that’s accurate-- The permit has nothing to do with speech, it has to do with use of public space. Where I’m from, the police will come and block off streets and manage traffic to keep demonstrators safe. Without the permit, everyone would still be allowed to say more or less whatever they wanted, but the logistics of the gathering could create a hazard, and that’s just a gray area that everyone is just better off avoiding.

Why does being a team sport or not affect whether you can root for them?

Looks really nice! You’ve got a good balance between loose but clean. Don’t be afraid to tilt those box tops away from the viewer-- Play around with pushing the perspective harder to help the boxes look more settled and natural. IMO they look a little floaty.

If that’s a skill that you haven’t practiced, try looking up some videos/guides for drawing in perspective, and just practice setting a horizon line and orienting boxes to it. You’ll feel your scenes become more grounded and cohesive.

Great job though, it’s overall pleasing to look at and a cool style.

Ah, they must have interpreted it as “no stupid questions allowed,” instead of “there are no stupid questions.”

Big yike 😬 Anyone find a decent way around THAT yet? How do they even know that you’re on a VPN? Is it like… they maintain a list of known VPN exit node IPs?

Does old.reddit.com still work to get around it?

Yeah, I’m wondering about how they characterize “bot activity.” It seems like “any traffic not proximally related to a user’s synchronous activity” is a little too broad.

I’m not sure if fediverse syncing is bot activity. Or my laptop checking for software updates while I’m sleeping. Or my autopay transactions for utility bills.

The title still works if you remove the word “scraping,” too. (I mean, except grammatically)

Double tilde (~~) for strikethrough, friend.

_People vs. People

I have two of em-- They’re pretty good! Definitely not perceptibly laggy or anything, at least to me.

Probably just outed myself as a casual.

Yeah, I get that. Do you have any sense of whether that’s a limitation of the ESP32, or with your implementation?

We had planned to get some memeing done but we had an all-hands right before sprint review, then sprint retro, then there was an “optional” product sync that we kinda had to go to, and then the team social, and that was basically our whole day.

Thought we might meme a bit at lunch, but there was a lunch-and-learn and it’s not like we were going to skip a free lunch.

If anyone else was wondering, I found this neat data table of controller latencies to compare:

It looks like 18.35ms is not really among the best, but there are still lots of products in that range.

I dunno if I’d say your project didn’t work out… Maybe more like you succeeded but still have work to do. Do you think you’ll try swapping the Bluetooth for a 2.4Ghz module or something and see if that performs better?

Switch games still use physical cartriges (…SD cards) and it’s pretty rad tbh.

Great contribution. Reminds me of “it’s not practice that makes perfect; perfect practice makes perfect.” Not exactly the same idea, but related: A good coach can elevate your progress well beyond what you can do yourself.
