You can set css variables in the style attribute.

Seems like a good release! Looking forward to upgrade my project. The LLM-speak was hard to read, though.

> I didn’t know “second base” had another meaning.

Out of curiosity, what's the other meaning? I assume the primary one has to do with baseball bases.

Not really well defined obviously, but here's some information: https://www.wikihow.com/What-Are-the-Bases-in-Dating

It's not a terrible mistake. A terrible mistake would have been having such power available on ports that even a reasonable person might short out by innocently connecting a USB C cable between them.

A couple 5.1k resistors add about $0.00001 to the BOM cost. The terrible mistake is on the designers of devices who try to forego these.

Except that connecting 5V to 5V does not cause a short circuit. No current will flow without a voltage difference. If there is a difference, the capacitors in one of the power supplies will charge up to the same voltage and then current stops flowing again.

Fun little parrot! And beats installing with snap (I don't like snap).

Out of curiosity, my rudimentary measurement puts bandwidth usage at about 17 KiB/s. Some might say that's negligible nowadays, which is not that unreasonable (1 hour ~ 61 MiB). Still, my efficiency brain is tingling. I guess simply displaying chars is lower risk than running code on your computer.

Well, in some cases terminal escape seqeuences can be abused to execute code. So you shouldn't feel so safe curling random websites!

Noticed it uses HTML5 canvas to render data by default. To screen readers, am I correct in understanding that this is equally accessible as when people share screenshots of text?

There is an SVG option that looks identical but it doesn't say when you're supposed to use that, or why canvas exists (and is the default) if SVG would work equally well. Then again, setting an example chart to use SVG rendering (I was looking at the basic scatter plot functionality, since I use that most often), I can't seem to tab or otherwise navigate through the data points, so it may just be impossible to get the data read out to you like "first data point, year 2006 students 25 939" (if the axes were labeled "year" and "students", for example; they're not labeled in the example but it could still read out the positions of the points)

Nice project!

Did you know that instead of buying new motor controllers, you can re-use the hoverboard motor controller? Awesome people have made open source firmware you can flash to it: https://github.com/EFeru/hoverboard-firmware-hack-FOC. With this firmware you can make the motors go way faster, up to 40km/h with a 12S battery.

We are also building a kart with hoverboard motors, with a custom welded steel frame. Vibrations are a real issue with the standard solid rubber wheels, hopefully I can find the same air tires you used!

Our website is in Dutch, but you can watch the videos: https://projects.raphson.nl/projects/kart/

>I use Firefox + uBlock Origin

Wasn’t Mozilla accused of selling data they collected from Firefox users?

Correct me if I’m wrong.

derkades · 6 months ago
Even with all the drama Firefox is still an excellent browser, definitely better for privacy and uBlock than Chrome.
