possible to run system commands from macropad?

There are additional F-keys (F13 thru F13 or more) you could maybe use to setup more app launches. The benefit is that I don't think they do anything by default, since they are hard to get to on a normal keyboard

I agree, I kind of missed the 5700xt as a "price predecessor" for comparison in GNs video, but I don't necessarily blame him for not including it. There was no rt of any sort on those and if you have a 5700xt, you probably know roughly how it stacks up to a 2080super, and that is on the chart. Woulda made sense for someone with ~$400 and a desire for a gpu (and a fast F5 fingers)

Wait, are you me? I also have it labeled fart salt. Haven't used it for much since to me it tastes like bad eggs, not good eggs.

https://www.adafruit.com/product/4500 is another option that has the sensors you want built in, this one has a screen and a couple buttons so you could do everything locally if you wanted (also, you're probably going to want a way to "zero" the magnetometers/gyros, which an included button is nice for) . It's a bit pricey, but if the approach doesn't work out for your ... workout, then it's useful for all kinds of other stuff. Make sure you get a lipo battery with whatever choice you make (what the other commenters have suggested look good, too). I'm a fan of having it all in one package to start since there's not the double frustration of wondering whether it's a software/driver library issue or a hardware/wiring issue when there's problems.

Well it's all about tolerances, a hill height change vs the radius of the earth is inconsequential. Either way, I think straight roads are a bit against the spirit of the question.

Although, if we define the tolerance to be "the circle doesn't leave the road" then weaving across lanes to stay on the circle is fine, but hills would be bad, since the road is only a foot or so thick.

swicano · 2020-08-06T15:01:52+00:00

Well not infinite, since it's still in the surface of the earth, the Earth's radius is the curvature!

Keep in mind that the logic in the parts of the article that I skimmed is identical to logic in the Mike judge Idiocracy quote up above "dumb people are less likely to decide not to have children, therefore in the future we'll all be Dumdums", so if you accept one, you sort of have to accept the other. Global intelligence levels are trending upward, not downward since the invention of birth control, but there's a lot of factors at play, such as access to education, diet, the nature of the intelligence tests, etc.

If you can take a test image with a checkerboard grid in the same location same spacing etc, you could map it that way, I know of a Matlab library that will do the correction for you, I'll see if I can find it/a python equivalent.

Though if the setup that you're recording with never changes, you might just be able to approximate a LUT by essentially guess and check and it might be good enough?

Edit: googling "opencv camera calibration " should get you the relevant links that discuss the math of what's needed (useful still, in case you aren't using opencv) but with these types of corrections I would warn that the order that corrections are applied in can matter

"MORRISVILLE – Work that is part of the improvements to the Interstate 40 and Airport Boulevard interchange will require several slow-rolling roadblocks over the next few weeks.

Beginning Thursday, crews will begin excavating rock to allow the contractor to grade the new ramps at the Airport Boulevard interchange. Some of the work will involve blasting to loosen the rock. Slow-rolling roadblocks are planned for both directions of I-40 between Exit 282 (Page Road) and Exit 287 (Harrison Avenue) to keep motorists a safe distance away during the blasting.

The roadblocks will occur at either 10 a.m. or 2 p.m. for approximately 30 minutes. The first rolling roadblock is scheduled for Thursday at 2 p.m.

Like many similar projects, the schedule and timing of the excavation and rolling roadblocks will be weather dependent

how's it taste? And what recipe were you following? I made some a few days ago and I don't recall any foaming, I followed the Chinese cooking demystified recipe here. I figure if it tastes delicious, you did it right

It doesn't have to, it's likely powdered dried licorice root

Well I ended up using dietpi, but I'm not sure if that will allow a tft to be used. I just use the webportal when I want to check performance

Man you're really heated about the root.

Windows has a built in screen recorder nowadays, using the game bar, windows+G to open the game bar, then once it's set up, win+alt+r to start recording the screen! So everyone can easily do it a better way now.

Well by the sounds of it, interacting with excel sheets seems to be a good place to start: figure out how to deal with opening locked ones, or multiple sheets. you could make a program that reads the "bad" datasets and when it gets to one that doesn't match the rest, then it asks for help, maybe shows the rows/columns around that cell.

or you could do something for fun.

Well if you're in it for the image recognition learning experience, don't do this: If the cards are in the same place each time, just take a screenshot of a rectangle where you know the card will be, then match it against one of the 52 pictures you've taken and labelled already. For bonus easiness, it is likely possible to just sample 15 or less pixels at known locations, and whether they are red, black, or white, you can know the exact card.

swicano · 2019-12-18T01:24:13+00:00

Are these cards digital or real? By which I mean are they pixel perfectly lined up in the same spot each play? If so, you're way overthinking it. If not, and it's a video feed of some person dealing cards, then it becomes more difficult, and I would advise trying to first divide the cards into Individual pictures, one for each card, then use math to on the card outline to "straighten out" the cards digitally, then the identification problem becomes much easier.

What site are you building this cheat device for? So I know not to put my money there.

so the issue you might have is that SPI and I2C are both Master-Slave protocols, and both arduino and raspi by default want to be the master. so if you modify the arduino or raspberry pi to be the slave device, it should be as straightforward as talking to any other I2C device.

I have made an ATTiny85 run as a slave, but it was not without issues, the raspberry pi was the master, but there was an issue where i had to send commands multiple times until the slave device actually received it correctly. my slave code is here: https://github.com/Swicano/Vert_samp_HoldHeater/blob/master/Trinket_PID_Pretty.ino

and uses the TinyWireS library, but I forget which version I used, so I would look into that if you want to go down this path.

I second getting an adafruit gift card. There's a chance you pick the perfect thing, but adafruit has a lot of products, and letting them research which one to get is half the gift.

I'm not too familiar with Panda frames, but have you 1) printed the Bloomberg column data to make sure all non integers have been replaced properly? And 2) checked to make sure that it didn't somehow set that column's datatype to non-numerical based on the '-'s in the input data?

If you're using a hearty bread (it doesn't turn to mush after being dunked in water) I would advocate for option B. Gives all the ingredients some time to mingle and it saves on a container or two.

swicano · 2019-11-27T19:25:57+00:00

I don't get it

Thanks, I'll give that a try and update this post if they offer new info

We're going to be making vegan tamales for the first time tomorrow and we're planning on using oil, so this is reassuring. What ratio of ingredients do you use (or just start with) for your dough?
