    Not a buzzkill. You’re engaged and that is the point. It is not my dog and not my picture. I’m just fishing the internet for fresh stuff for all of us to enjoy and engage with socially my friend. Don’t be embarrassed or ashamed of being a good person that cares. You did not make it judgemental about me personally, and that is all that really matters to me. I posted it because I care about you stranger. The fact that you care too is a beautiful thing. Thanks for being a good digital neighbor, friend.


  • It is about like the difference between SPI and I2C serial communications.

    I struggled with that one for a little while. My intuition of serial is more like SPI where there is a dedicated clock structure from a clock source that is separate from the data transmission. Or like with UART serial where the clock baud rate must be known or set in advance to establish communications.

    However, with I2C serial it is only a 2 wire data interface, and the clock is built into the data. That is the main serial communications method used for most analog-world type sensors, like temperature, pressure, real time clocks chips, and many slow types of EEPROM persistent memory. SPI is used for small simple displays in embedded devices, and stuff like the flash memory chip that stores your bootloader on your computer. UART is most often the remote serial terminal access on stuff like your computer and router, though all of these com peripherals have exceptions in use cases.

    The way I2C works is that the data line is always held in a high state with a weak pull up resistor. The devices attached to this data line use NPN transistors to pull the line low. Then the protocol establishes who gets to talk and when and how.





















  • It generated lots of discussion on 4 Chan.

    I do not follow the political clown show’s dichotomy. I know Sabine Hossenfelder has shown emails from people at Fermi lab indicating otherwise after they complained about her outing junk science.

    I basically only watch people with advanced degrees making edutainment type content. So I don’t know the wider scope.

    Edit: I changed it to “US” in the title. I am probably going to delete the whole thing though. I despise downvoting children. They deserve their idiotic echo chambers.
