TIL it’s illegal to buy guns in the U.S. if you hold a medical marijuana card...

@ekaitz_zarraga

That's cool, I just want to understand the constraints :)

When I get better at designing these things I'd like to come up with an open standard for modules like this, and then design a number of different types of modules. I feel like Raspi/PINE/etc. standardized on the connector (SODIMM) but didn't put a lot of thought into coming up with a more broadly-usable pinout.

Now they are kind of stuck with it unless they want to obsolete all their existing stuff.

@ekaitz_zarraga

Is using the Raspi compute module one of your constraints?

@ekaitz_zarraga

That's a bummer.

I know you told me before, but I don't remember why you're not looking at PINE64's ClusterBoard?

@ekaitz_zarraga hopefully they will be more open than the Raspi itself and publish their designs 🤞 😀

@ekaitz_zarraga Nice!

Seems like I saw this (or something like it before) but the price was around $250 for the bare board?

Here's a beautiful little hardware project to start your day:

Time to break the LAN

@nolan I agree with avoiding the online impotent rage trap, but this article reads like a more eloquent version of “some very fine people on both sides” to me.

Instead of talking about this problem we need to take action, before it’s too late.

@yerazunis yeah you got me thinking, maybe I could find a programming language that *is* available on iOS (Python, Lua, etc.) and write a translator.

I wouldn’t even need all of OpenSCAD’s features, I don’t use all of them :)

@uint8_t @daniel_bohrer @fribbledom that might have some potential (just needs a more mobile-oriented front-end).

@yerazunis @uint8_t @fribbledom

My phone is iOS. The dev tools are Mac-only, so that’s a hurdle.

Emulation might be worth pursuing but given OpenSCAD’s graphics library dependencies it might be tough.

That said if I had the time it might be an interesting experiment to port the language to a compatible interpreter...?

@uint8_t @fribbledom

I would *love* a native OpenSCAD app for my phone so I could work on designs from anywhere.

@fribbledom if your a programmer you might enjoy OpenSCAD (it’s my favorite)
