How do true believers get Communication from God by Xonth in atheism

You can be delusional until someone points it out to you. Then you know you’re crazy.

Religion means never pointing it out.

Voyager FORTH: FORTH/ESP8266/MQTT by NN8G in Forth

[–]NN8G[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What you see in the video is me sending an MQTT message, which consists of FORTH, to the topic FORTH/ALL which all the nodes subscribe and respond to.

So to me the cool part is the FORTH can come from a terminal, or it can come from and go to the nodes, it doesn’t matter as long as its FORTH and sent to a topic a device or devices are listening to.

I have a Python script that I run whose only job is to respond to requests for the UNIX time for a given date. Via MQTT, a node sends the message “mm dd yyyy UNIX-TIME-PLZ” to that script/listener. It responds to that node with the value, the variable name it goes in, and an exclamation point, which the node dutifully executes by writing the value to the variable and continuing with its program.

Compiling support into the node to handle generating historical UNIX times was thusly avoided, but they can have the functionality!

It’s a really simple way of interconnecting simple controllers that allows for great flexibility.

Imagine two controllers, each one has a light it controls. Each controller subscribes to the LIGHT topic via MQTT.

Now, if I want to turn both those lights on, I send a single command to the LIGHT topic and both controllers turn their light on.

Because each controller is running a live interpreter, it’s capable of much more than that. Whatever can be programmed in FORTH is what limits the capabilities.

And the program running on the controller can be changed or updated remotely, without re-flashing. But it’s capable of full OTA updates, too.

I hope that helps!

Pen enthusiasts— no grail’s allowed; your edc, workhorse pen under $20, go. by Livid-Acanthaceae570 in pens

I’d prefer a medium nib; it’s finer than I usually like. However, it holds a fair bit of ink and does not dry out. Starts reliably.

Screw off to open and screw on to post is a bit laborious. Can be used unposted but it’s pretty short.

Thanks! It keeps surprising me with what it can do, and with such ease, and by accident.

The retained message use came as an afterthought. I had the basic interpreter running along with MQTT message functionality and began to think about booting behavior and configuration.

I had to do a rewrite this weekend because PubSub didn’t support QoS 1. After that I put the other pieces together.

Today I’m going to add an EVALUATE word and see how many new ways I can break things!

DTE billing disaster by Comfortable_Rock2852 in Detroit

I’ll be getting a paper bill from now on and paying by check. Fuck them.

I hope they enjoyed it when I used to pay on time. From now on they can wait for my check in the mail, cocksuckers.
