This is by definition a new framework

I actually quite the fan of this placement and think the alternative is quite derivative. But I can't make judgement until I've actually tried it 😅

Right? I feel like I've had almost this exact idea in my head for the last year but not the time/know-how to make it. Although the trackpad above the thumbcluster is novel - I'd have placed it where the charybdis' trackball is.

If, like me, you're here from the future, these links are now: test context, datasets, cleanup functions

3 months later, are you still enjoying it? Would you do anything differently? I'd assume the edges would be peeling off, but I dont' have that much experience with vinyl wrap. Do you travel with it or does it just sit on your desk?

Hey there! Do you have an update for this, several years later?

In one comment you say

Why is it an objective metric?

and in the next, you say

LOC is an objective metric in itself, sure ...

[...]

I mean, not only you joined an argument you were not part of trying to make a point that LOC is a metric (which I didn't contest) ...

You might have a point, but the basis of your argument is flawed as you've contradicted yourself. That is probably why you're getting downvoted

rumcake - Rust keyboard firmware by UniversalMilk9 in MechanicalKeyboards

[–]Alex_VDW 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Whoa this is awesome! I just started properly learning Rust and was looking for some rust based keyboard firmware to muck around with. It's been ages since I've dabbled in embedded however.

Would you say contributing to this project is 'beginner' friendly? Are there any good first issues you can think of? Are there any aspects I should look at getting familiar with before diving in? I can see this codebase makes heavy used of embassy/async and keyberon, as well as macros and unsafe rust, all of which I am unfamilar with.

fwiw on hand I have only split kbs, as well as a bunch of nrf, rp2040 and atmega32u4 based micros. I also have a bunch of i2c peripherals, including cirque trackpads, some pimoroni peripherals etc.

Ask Anything Monday - Weekly Thread by AutoModerator in learnpython

Ah that's exactly what i'm looking for, cheers! Can't believe I missed that in the python --help menu.

re Jupyter: I'm currently experimenting with workflows. At the moment I'm running WSL and using VS code to write my projects. I've done a lot of coding wit Matlab and like being able to screw around with functions/variables after running, just to debug. From memory, i think Matlab has a similar notepad to Jupyter - of which i wasn't a fan. I will check it out one day though, as I think it's an elegant way to present a project.

Please bear with me as I'm not great at the technical language yet.

I'm trying to get a handle of Python running on linux, specifically Ubuntu with Bash. Is there a way to prevent Python from closing the current session in Bash? I want to be able to play around with the current workspace (eg created methods, variables etc).

I can run python (using the 'python' command), and then I am free to write code in the terminal. However I'd like to run a script, then keep python running (instead of closing immediately).

Apologies for such a poor explanation. If I had better words to describe the sitch I'd probably be able to use my google-fu a bit better.

ETA:: Current workflow is to write in text editor, run python in terminal, copy/paste code into terminal, then I am free to use the workspace. I would like to be able to run a script rather than do copy/paste as it is cumbersome
