So a bit more explanation here!

There are currently 3 fuses on the board - battery input, debug power input, and DC-DC output. There are also TVS diodes on all 3 power rails for over-voltage protection which shunts power straight to ground which in turn should cause the fuse to blow during a sustained over-voltage.

I don’t expect the TVS to ever trigger, but having an early fuse in case of a short on the battery input is better than having a toasty warm lithium cell.

The debugger power input TVS I might expect to trip due to shenanigans on the debug port, and this one would make sense to be a PTC fuse.

The last fuse and TVS diode is on the output of the DC-DC converter, to prevent 5V appearing on the 3.3V rail if the DC-DC fails short.

Also, the device might end up going for a swim because it will be sticky taped to the back of a boat inside a water-tight case.

@matherion A brightly lit stage with pink and purple lighting features three seated people and one standing person. On the left, three individuals sit on high stools; one wears a striped sweater, another wears dark clothing, and the third wears a light-colored jacket and glasses. On the right, a person stands in front of a large presentation screen, facing the seated group. The screen displays the text: "Getting started with autonomy yourself... .. ...what concrete steps can you take?". Bright white spotlights are visible against the dark background of the stage.

Any #GCC folks know why the transparent_union attribute works in C but not C++? The motivating use case is for a system header, which exposes an API that needs to be callable from both C and C++ with identical code, yet it appears that this attribute has never worked in g++ (and is documented as C only). But I can't find any rationale for this choice.

日本で世界初のFedifyの書籍「実践Fedify——ActivityPubマイクロブログ開発入門」が出版されました。この本は私にとって初めての著書でもありますが、最初の本が母語の韓国語ではなく日本語だというのは、なんだかとても不思議な気分ですね。本書は、英語で書かれたFedifyの公式チュートリアル「Creating your own federated microblog」をベースに、様々な加筆を行ったものです。Fedifyのマスコットの恐竜と、Misskeyのマスコットである三須木（みすき） 藍（あい）、Mastodonのマスコットが一緒に描かれた可愛い表紙のイラストは、ゆめつきママさんが描いてくださいました。電子書籍と紙の書籍の両方で、来る22日にインプレス NextPublishingから出版される予定です。

Deeply short-sighted. It’s like a grocery store committing to selling plastic food alongside the real stuff.

Much of the technology that is being blamed today for disinformation and manipulation was developed with benign intent and initially brought significant benefits. Its negative repercussions and weaponization were not foreseen by the technologists who developed it.

@dajb I think the only solution is exposure therapy: you must create more zines.

@chuck_wendig@threads.net ignoring both the ethics and the tech limitations (which we shouldn't, to be clear) I don't see the pitch here. Either I have a desire to read something super bespoke and I get "magic" to write the novel for me ('like Star Wars, but with more kumquats'), or I want to read the idea somebody else find interesting. In practice I suspect even the first option with working, ethical, tech would end up feeling unsatisfying but I don't see any world where I want to pay money for stuff other people wanted to automatically generate if I have access to the generating tech myself.

This graph is trying to show us that aviation is growing faster than other sectors. A fair point. And it's not a fact I'm gonna dispute. The problem is, it's massively overlooking context, and scale.

Aviation is typically ~2% of global emissions. Surface transport is about 17%, and buildings (heat, cooling, lighting), is about 25%. I've tooted on numerous occasions that I think environmental campaigners focus on aviation is misguided, but that's a topic for another time.

Help, I have no motivation to work on client projects and I just want to create zines.
