Comment That wasn't why Trump did it (Score 1) 68

Trump knows what he's doing is extremely unpopular and so did a republicans. He knows that there are limits to how much he can screw over voters. His base will vote for him no matter what no matter how bad their lives get because of him that's only about 30% of the population. Voter suppression can make up another 5 to 7%, but that's as much as you can get out of it before it becomes obvious that your election system is rigged and the courts can't ignore it anymore.

Trump is hoping Iran would have their state backed actors do a terrorist attack and he could ride that into a third term like Bush road 911 into a second term.

We know this is the case because right before he attacked Iran he gutted several US anti-terrorism agencies and put a 22-year-old kid who used to bag groceries in charge of what was left.

There are limits to incompetence. At a certain point it's malice.

We also know that Bibi knew October 7th was coming and let it happen. You can probably guess why.

The real problem for Trump is Iran didn't take the bait. They have much better control of their assets and they prevented them from doing any unnecessary attacks. So now they control the straight and all the cards and all Trump can do is try to wait until after the midterm and then give them $300 billion US taxpayer dollars in reparations to open the straight again.

Well, there are thousands of interesting micropython projects out there, hardly any of them appear forced.

I needed a custom motor controller that I can talk to over a webserver. It performs closed loop control via an encoder, controls DC auxillary motors and now ran without hiccups for years.
A "real" solution was estimated by an engineer to take four weeks. Micropython allowed to iterate on this in the field very quickly, and within a few days the system was completed.
Could a smaller microcontroller do the same thing if I had used C? Probably. But unless this would go into tens of thousands of units my time is more valuable than the cost savings going from $1 microcontroller to something cheaper.
