Never had the opportunity to test it, but it's been developped by the fine folks of framasoft as an alternative to facebook for community/event organization. Might fit the bill for you.

0. computer science

1. arduino programming + very basic circuits

2. adding a few chips and talking to them through I2C/SPI: still in digital circuits territory, sending 1s and 0s

3. designing my frist PCBs with kiCAD: a huge learning step, and things start to get a bit messy (component tolerance, transmission delays ...)

4. looking at analog circuitry / alternative current / signal processing : a HUGE uncharted territory, full of promises and headaches.

This trajectory is probably quite common, and I'm sure atopile has a role to play there, when you start growing out of arduino. Making things a bit smoother, searchable, reusable, being able to learn from other people's design - what a wonderful tool it could be!

EDIT: but I probably wouldn't use it either.

Unfortunately, so far I couldn't load a single page from https://explore.beakerbrowser.com/ - even though those pages are supposed to be kept online thanks to hashbase.io

Such a pity, I'd really like to see something like this take off!

I'm impressed how unreliable this tech is. Standing 2 meters away from the lightbulbs, I had to press 3 or 4 times the off button to turn them all off. I just don't understand why you would knowingly install that kind of crap.

I think the point you are making is grammatical: in pretty much any language, the most common verbs are irregular.

But isn't this poem more about orthography and pronunciation? Some languages are much more regular than english in that regard.

I think the first extensive study on the subject is [the limits to growth](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Limits_to_Growth).

A compelling thing I've seen (sorry can't find the exact source, I think it was from [the shift project](https://theshiftproject.org)) is the very strong correlation - almost linear relation - between GDP, energy consumption and co2 emission. So far we haven't been able to decorrelate those three.

We only have one planet here, so instead of betting on a massive terraforming technology to suck the CO2 out of the air, I'd rather use a more conservative approach such as massive reforestation - something that is low-tech, can be done by anyone, anywhere, and improve the resilience of the ecosystem rather than kicking its balance again.

To be more constructive, this is exactly the kind of hubris that gets me very wary of technoscience.

Let's assume Project Vesta is run by well intentionned folks and has the potential to offer a net positive in a distant future. Even in those conditions, such a project serves the toxic political agenda of not facing the elephant in the room: our growth based economic model is not sustainable and we need to transition away from it.

IIRC it is along those lines :

You could define a `Lesser` interface with a method `Less(Lesser) bool`, and implement this interface on what you want to sort, but then you would have no way to assert at compile time that x and y are of the same type in `x.Less(y)`.

As I understand them, contracts allow you to assert things like this.

Here is a proposal for another fitness score: everytime a bullet is shot, raise the score of every survivor, weighted by the distance between the survivor and the bullet. The closer the bullet the better the fitness.

Intuitively, I think this would select for better dodgers.

this demo got me thinking: if I want to remove something very specific from one track instead of learning a generalized filter, can I train this model with a smaller dataset, like a few seconds from that track?
