    just like email is a way for other people to give you to-do list items, twitter is a way for other people to give you intrusive thoughts

    The anti-vac movie Vaxxed, released in 2016 was directed by Andrew Wakefield. Several years earlier, his vaccine-autism article had been retracted, the findings found to be fraudulent, medical ethics revealed to be violated, and Wakefield stripped of his medical license.

    Ten years ago today, The Lancet retracted Andrew Wakefield’s fraudulent 1998 article claiming the MMR vaccine caused autism. He performed procedures on children unethically, paid kids at a birthday party to give him blood samples, and doctored data. He still claims he was right.

    if you're a semiconductor vendor you're legally obligated to refer to the 8051 you stuck on the die (cause you could) as an "8-bit microprocessor" and never ever ever as an 8051

    libgen/scihub are of such monumental social/moral worth that their illegality delegitimizes the law as a whole

    they could have used literally any other number in the name and it would make more sense!

    can we talk about the nRF5 series, which is a successor to nRF24 series but, despite the name, also works only in the 2.4 GHz region

    I've worked with several dozen slave devices (mostly sensors), a couple of master cells, and even RTL for master/slave implementations, and I've never seen this. I suspect a lot of masters can't even do it, and I haven't seen a software API that could express it if they could.

    so I was looking for a MicroSD to M.2 adapter (shut up, it exists, and I have reasons to want it) and I found something way more cursed: M.2 (SDIO) to SD card slot!

    to clarify, I'm only interested in a single initiator I2C systems (i.e. specifically *not* multi-master topologies)

    lazyweb, have you ever been in a situation with I2C where you needed to do a read, repeated start, then a write, and it had to be a repeated start specifically, not a stop + start? write then read is common (EEPROMs), read then write I've never seen before

    this works especially well with the JTAG applet, since I already refactored it to use a cleaner architecture, but I'll refactor the rest too

    it warms my heart to see people reuse Glasgow applets (like the JTAG code) completely outside of Glasgow; I never specifically intended for this, but I tried to make them simple and generic, and turns out you can just graft many of them to any random UART you have around

    CW unpopular opinion: After a short time, playing around with a few "bigger" Python projects, I am starting to understand why people are not so fond of Python. From where I stand it is not really the language, it is the amount of batteries you need to manage causing problems.

    Face masks go mainstream in the 2020s. 1) Starts as protection against infection, pollution 2) Then privacy, to defeat face recognition 3) Then people realize: less time on makeup, hair 4) Eventually, standard piece of clothing. Both privacy and hygiene.

    (to clarify the question asked here--"arbitrary code" means "arbitrary syscalls" or "arbitrary file/network access", not just abstract turing completeness)
