At that size, for that speed, I wonder why wifi was discarded. Depends on the components connecting, I guess, but if each component is custom I imagine adding a small wifi chip to each could be smaller overall?

Ok, I'm missing something then.

What is CSS used for?

[–] [email protected] 6 points 5 months ago (7 children)

Right, that's what I understood. So using a VPN, a CSS will be able to identify that my phone is active, but not the content I'm accessing, or who I am accessing it from, correct?

The previous comment said VPNs do nothing against this type of attack- were they just referring to identifying your device?

Forgive my ignorance, but isn't preventing this type of man in the middle attack exactly what VPNs are for?

Sandwiches are eaten like a typewriter.

I'm so confused. You pivot your elbows and smash the sandwich into your face like the letters hitting the page? You take lots of fast, noisy bites like the sound of typing? You nibble the top piece of bread from left to right, then the filling from left to right, then the bottom, going 'ding!' in between?

As someone who knows that they know very little about git, this thread makes me think I'm not alone.

In my comment elsewhere in the thread I talk about how, as a complete software noob, I like to design programs by making a flowchart first, and how I wish the flowchart itself was the code.

It sounds like what I'm doing might be (super basic) programming architecture? Where can I go to learn more about this?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 8 months ago (1 children)

As someone who's had a bit of exposure to PLCs and ladder logic, and dabbled in some more 'programming' type languages, I would love to find some sort of 'language' that fits together like ladder logic, but for more computery type applications.

I like systems, not programs. Most of my software design is done by building a flowchart, then stumbling around trying to figure out how to write that into code. I feel it would be so much easier if I could just make the flowchart be the code.

I want a grown up Scratch.

Some of that is similar in more rural areas here. Property addresses will often be the number of meters their driveway is from the start of the road.

Genuine question - why would the house numbers be different?

In urban areas, I'm used to house numbers starting at 1 at one end of the street, then incrementing as you go along. Usually odds and evens are on the opposite sides of the street. So the house on the corner will be 1, the house opposite it will be 2, the house next to 1 will be 3, and so on.

Each street starts the numbers again.

Is this not the case where you are?
