It makes it more comfortable to sleep in.

I have absolutely no idea where that comes from. Do you all sleep like Dracula? My bedding is usually tussled about within minutes of me laying in bed. Blankets balled up for knee support, one leg sticking out for temperature venting. I couldn’t imagine sliding under the covers and laying perfectly supine like Vladimir Lenin.

You fold your clothes after you clean them? Why, your clothes are just going to get wrinkled anyway.

You eat your food without blending it all up in a blender first? Why, your stomach mixes it all up anyway.

You take a shower? Why, you're just going to get dirty again anyway.

You wash your hands after you shit? Why, you're just going to shit again the next day.

You make slippery slope arguments? Why, you can just frame them as unpopular opinions.

Use the time and space machine on a ruler and send it back in time a pico second, then a millisecond, then a thousand, then a second, then a minute. You just have to calibrate with measurements first.

I think they mean, why is the girl looking left over her shoulder so far and she already behind the boy. Also, way outclassed.

I had an uncle who got into breeding cats. There are dog breeders, why not cat breeders he thought. The trouble, he said, was all the scratches he got on his dick.

They got the good ones

There's some good driving sims that could help the anxiety. Safe place to practice if you live in one of the places without public transport.

Is having a place to live consumerism? Don't need a mcmansion. Not suggesting tiny home shit, but there's a lower bound for shelter as a human right.

Overwatch characters were famously made gay the same day bad news about Activision/Blizzard was released in order to drown out bad press.

Remember the California lawsuit? Yup, lifesaver released, and wups they're pansexual.

Itt, people defending cars in fuck cars

There's no one thirstier than someone with a coding question.

Impedance, floating (lemmy.world)
submitted 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago) by half_built_pyramids@lemmy.world to c/explainlikeimfive@lemmy.world
 

What's the difference between impedance and when a pin on a microchip is floating?

I get the basics of impedance. I'm capacitive impedance it's a build up of charge. Like air in a balloon. In resistive impedance it's a build up of the magnetic field, like a flywheel.

A floating pin isn't connected to anything reference voltage so it can fluctuate with surrounding interference or whatever.

Why do some ICs have tri state, low, high, and high impedance? Isn't high impedance the same thing as floating?

If it is high impedance that means it had to be connected to something, right? ~~Don't~~ Some kind of big capacitor or inductor in the chip?

 

Saw a "deer hearse" sticker the other day. So nice these guys have an outlet to express themselves. Like Lisa Frank stickers.

Poofy tshirt sleeves are the worst. Is there a name for how the sleeves are cut? When my arms are at my sides I want the hem of the sleeves to be touching my arms, not shooting out at 45 degrees. Same for any short sleeve type shirt.

 

License stuff came up the other day. Got me wondering.

Could I use something like the mit or GPL license, but add a requirement that anyone that uses the software had to send me a pic of their butthole?

What is the use case for this GPL + bhole license?

Memes mostly. It world also need to have an age of majority clause.

Then if the library actually gets picked up somewhere it would be a good extortion tactic.

 

Messing around with Linux for the first time in a bbb.

I've learned things like ls -1al, those types of basics.

I'm getting the picture that Debian for the bbb is kind of bare bones, no pun intended. Is that right?

I'm interested in some bigger picture basics like that. Any suggestions for resources?

 

With Google podcast dying I'm looking for a replacement.

I'd like to unchain myself from the corpos if I can too. So I'm not interested in another pod catcher that'll just try to monetize me.

Are there are self hosted rss readers with push? That seems like a great solution for pods and just about anything else I might want to keep up with.

 

I don't want a dark and twisted batman that watches Catwoman change through her window.

I want a bat credit card and ice puns.

The whole plot is that robin is scared of getting bracers. The joker taunts him with those fake chittering walking teeth.

 

Working on a joystick. Seems like any protocol I use to read from peripherals is going to be bottlenecked by having just one input. My microcontroller might have multiple ADCs, but there's just one processor stepping through them. Same for spi, or i2c, or uart. There's really only ever one sensor reporting back its data at a time.

I know this might not matter for measurement resolution. Especially if you're polling at like 115k serial or something, but...

That's 8 bits per axis, and three axis. Now that's at least 34 bits. To sample each axis we're down to only 4.5k samples per second. Plus whatever other cycles the controller has to handle... even if I spent half that time doing microcontrolle cycles at like 2k we're probably still well with the best star craft apms or whatever. I'd still like to find some way to really over engineer this thing.

I read a little about tdm, but that's out of my league and I don't know if you could even have 3 simultaneously signals that way

I'm thinking a microcontroller for each axis, and a usb port for each of them. So it appears like 3 different controllers to the computer. The user would just have to map the axis from the 3 controllers into 1 in their game software. I assume the steam remapping could do this.

Is it just going to get smashed back into one thread in the computer's usb hub anyway?

Any other suggestions?
