A good cabbie knows streets in your home city that you'd swear didn't exist, and has memorized a lookup table of optimal detours for all occasions. Can't get that kind of service from a part-time casual driver.
I just added what I think is the coolest part to OcapPub... the "Composition" section! This especially shows off how cool ocap design is: Alyssa schedules a backup of her file to run twice a day, and yet the job scheduler which runs the backup has neither access to read the file nor write anything else to the backup service! https://gitlab.com/spritely/ocappub/blob/master/README.org
I would like to thank Luis, who fixed the @EFF@twitter.com espresso machine by cleaning it, a solution that did not occur to anyone on this entire floor of engineers and technologists. He is a hero of the revolution.
Here's a project that makes me happily chuckle: a BBS originally written in Microsoft BASIC for the TRS-80 CoCo to run entirely in RAM translated into Arduino C for torturing your friends with a "realistic Realistic" retro telecommunications experience.
Again --- RT @Foone@twitter.com You'd think analog would be a bad thing and digital would be better, but there's very good reasons to want your video to be analog: It means you only ever need 6 pins for INFINITE COLORS https://twitter.com/Foone/status/1156392908771037185
@ajroach42 right now its graphics capabilities are limited to drawing lines and rectangles, but (a) you can draw almost everything with lines and rectangles if you try hard enough and (b) it's apparently decently actively developed
@ajroach42 I actually came across that via this, a baremetal app that turns a raspi into an ansi-friendly serial terminal over HDMI and USB keyboard (designed for use with the z80 compy, but all around useful in and of itself): https://github.com/fbergama/pigfx
@vy that said, I'm already up to 20wpm with 95% accuracy - the default mapping is pretty intuitive and the apps do a good job teaching and reinforcing it.
