Sometimes some pasta sauce if I have some. I had a bag of tomato powder a while back and used that, but it wasn't so great. A 6 oz can of tomato paste works pretty well except it feels stupid to open the little tiny can and spoon the paste out.

Corn and beans, 3 ingredients. 1 cup dried beans (around 50 cents), 1 can of TJ cut corn (89 cents), 1.5 cups water. Pressure cook the beans and water for 30 minutes. Release pressure or wait for it to drop by itself depending on how impatient you are. Stir in the corn.

Before you stirred in the corn, the just-cooked beans were boiling hot, but since the corn was at room temperature, the whole mix now is nice and warm but not scalding, so you can eat it right away. Nourishing (natural protein combination), low sodium, vegan, tasty, cheap, hard to beat.

This is called a WLCSP package and the size is dictated mostly by the number of pins. There have been some for ages with 16 pins (4x4 grid), but this one is half the size at 2x4 pins, so cool. You need pretty advanced PCB fab to use them. But yes, if you go on youtube or do a web search, you can find examples of people hand soldering this type of package.

This part has 16k of flash and 1k of ram, so comparable to the lower end TI MSP430 processors, and maybe midrange by 8-bit MCU standards. It might be comparable to the ATmega parts on the earlier Arduino boards. The later (ATMega328) Arduinos have 32K flash and 2.5K ram, which is still in the same general class.

This looks interesting. I had been wondering what if anything the PL experts were saying about the lack of exceptions in Rust.

ISC=international science council, whatever that is.

No it doesn't work that way. Nobody should be expected to follow clickbait.

There's no reason to expect anyone to click on any type of link, without giving them an up-front reason to do so. Expecting otherwise would be a spammer's dream. You have to spell out in the post what the link is for.

Not sure if I'm posting to the right place since I think this is a lemmy.ml federation problem. I was subscribed to c/[email protected] but hexbear renamed itself to chapo.chat, so updates are now going to c/[email protected]. I try to subscribe to that from lemmy.ml and it says "community not found". I can view it directly on chapo.chat and while it's low activity, there is at least 1 newer post there than on .ml's feed of hexbear. Help?

I see roughly the same thing:

Your post says there is a podcast at [url] and that you are working on a guide as a companion to it, but it doesn't say anything about where the guide is or whether any of it is online yet at all. Ok, I see now that the link url is discuss.james.network which is a different domain than the podcast, but that is still not much help. If that's where the guide is, you should say so. I'd expect to see a discussion forum on a domain like that, not a podcast transcript.

Really, though you should just include the guide in the post. Otherwise you're just promoting your podcast and discussion site.

You should explain that in the post body, not expect someone to click a link that says "podcast" in hope of getting a non-podcast.

Doing something like this "for real" on any scale takes a ton of anti-spam and anti-fraud effort. Look at how big a pain it has become to post on Craigslist, which doesn't even do commerce directly.

On a small scale it's less of a big deal. If you want an actual sales and payments platform like Etsy, it would have to be done by an organization of comparable scope, even if offloading payments to Stripe or whatever. Lots of seller vetting, dispute resolution, etc. I don't think it's impossible but it's not just a matter of software. It would need paid staff dealing with hassles all day, imho.

Raspberry pi 500 launched (www.raspberrypi.com)
submitted 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago) by [email protected] to c/[email protected]
 

Costs $90, physically looks just like 400 (no pointing device), has 8gb ram and includes a 32gb microsd card. CPU is similar to Raspberry Pi 5. There is a desktop kit for $120. So it's a $20 increase over the Pi 400, but you get an extra 4gb of ram, and an SD card. There is also a 15.6" HDMI monitor available for $100 that draws power from the computer. It's not clear to me if there is an NVMe SSD slot in the computer. It's disappointing that there is still no pointing device.

They have also decreased the 400's price from $70 to $60, and the 400 desktop kit (400+16gb sd card+power cube+mouse) from $100 to $80. I have a 400 and it is nice, but of course the 500 is a significant upgrade

Added: from this comment, "Jeff geerling just did a teardown (on his “level 2 jeff) channel and it seems there is provision on the board for a M.2 slot, but the slot and it’s support components are not populated. He actually soldered down a M.2 connector but then realised that it wasn’t just the slot that needed populating." What a pain. There are other comments speculating on a future model with a slot.

Because of the lack of M2 slot and pointing device, I'd have to carefully weigh getting a Pi 5 and external keyboard instead of a 500.

 

Despite lemmy.world's current travails, its flashlight community is fairly active, while the lemmy.ml one has been dead for 2 years it looks like.
