A device that connects to the USB would not be described as a "hat".

it was somewhat more 'interesting' than just a 'programming error'

Yes; my guess was wide of the mark, and only intended as a suggestion as to the sort of thing it could be. Turns out it was something else.

I note that some recent posts in this thread refer to "IP banning" (or some similar word construction). Is there any reason to believe that the banning has anything to do with IP addresses Yes, because it does. Rest assured that we are aware of such issues as dynamic IP addresses. These reports are...

I'm stupid with electronics too. Generally, if I build anything with mains, I hide behind the chair the first time I switch it on. The obvious thing to test is the voltage across the LEDs. You'll probably want to attach (and double-check) the probes before turning it on. If the LEDs have failed you ...

It was the Microsoft C compiler. And it was many years ago -- probably the version just before it became Visual C.

And it was not a bug. The compiler is allowed to use any translation it likes with the same effect. The expression it doubled had no side effects.

Note that subtracting 65 is an improvement over rurwin's solution. I'm happy enough that I got as close as one instruction to the optimum. It reminds me of the Two Laws of Optimisation: Don't do it. (For experts only) Don't do it now. I've also seen horrible code coming out of a compiler (compiling...

A nasty way of doing it would be to build an array of char (0 to 255 or -128 to 127 depending on the system) with each element set to 0 or 1, then use something like if( validchars[ch] == 1 ) printf( "is alpha" ); Sometimes a lookup table is the fastest way to do things. It will only take 256 bytes...

Interesting fact: isalpha() is not a valid replacement for that code and might even crash. Certain C libraries (<achem>Microsoft</achem>) throw an exception if they are given a negative argument. If you check the BSD sources you will find a comment to the effect that this might be a good idea. At le...

That fails if the first character not to match is the correct first key of the sequence. For example "12123#". That's why mine is complicated with the gotos. Nice compact state machine though.

void loop() { typedef enum { Start, Got1, Got12, Got123} States; static States state = Start; States FailState; bool printit = true; char keypressed = myKeypad.getKey(); if (keypressed != NO_KEY) { if (keypressed == '1') FailState = Got1; else FailState = Start; switch (state) { case Start: if (key...

I don't see any reason why not. 20g is rather small. If you were getting transients of 100g or more then I would have more concern. The one issue you might have is the plugs and sockets momentarily disconnecting or becoming stressed from repeated flexing. So I would tie down all the cables so that t...

First Law of System Programming: Never check for an error condition that you don't know how to handle. Or in this case, don't bother reporting an error so deep in the pre-boot phase that nobody will ever see it. It might even only have the serial console available. Variable size strings are always a...

Since I've proved:

I can do snark with the best of them.
I can't bear to do it even to someone I know doesn't mind.

It's time to end this madness.

This special thread gets to live in General discussion and Off topic discussion at the same time. :) It showed that way for me for a while, now I only see it in Off-Topic (had to go looking for it so I could keep complaining and trying to sidetrack everything). It's still there on page two. Secrets...

It used to be the case that for any half-way complex application, you could depend on the user being willing to put a few hours into learning how to use it. Not so much, now. There are several reasons for that. They are not paying huge amounts of money for every copy, there are many competing produc...

So vi is the editor that has the greatest economy of finger movement so long as you remap the keys? I was an emacs man through and through but the last straw came in 2014 when they deleted the cookie recipes. jEdit all the way now. Key-only editors do have one disadvantage. A colleague once told me ...

Have you ever tried the Micro Writer? It might be extinct now but I am told it was great to use once you learned it.

Ah. AltGr+m

Trust Linux to be sensible and put mu under m. And I assume it's Microsoft that puts it under u because appearances are everything, right?

I have a Pi3B talking to a SeeMeCNC Orion Delta. It works fine. So it is not the fault of the hardware. Can you take the Pi out of the loop and use a laptop with the same cable? That would show whether it was the printer or USB cable that was at fault. If that prints fast then we would have to think...

Or just do a random Google and copy it from another website.

Or bring up a word-processor or a character map app.

Or say "fiddle it"; life's too short and no SI prefix is abbreviated "u".

If it is a white unicorn and is now pink then it has red shifted. Better get out of it's way it's moving fast. No need to worry; it's moving away from you. To my mind, the gun counts as an observer, let alone the cat or even the mouse. And anyone who has ever had a cat in a closed box (that it does...

So how do you know the speed measuring device has taken its readings from the same part of the vehicle? The avg car length at 2.1metres is + or - 30mph's during the 0.3 second time period used to emit 3 laser pulses in order to calculate a speed reading. It uses doppler, not radar. All parts of the...

If Johnny is not going directly towards the observer ie cop on the side of the road. Will it be exactly 325nm the cop sees? Can he then work out what speed Johnny is going? The only velocity that matters is that component that is radial to the cop. You can work it out with sines and cosines and Pyt...
