MA is master of art according to google. MSc seems right.


Many (most, in the US; don't know about Sweden or Australia) institutions don't draw a distinction between the two and award MA regardless.


Some universities simply give you an MA a few years after getting a BA without you having to do anything additional.

You do have to manage to not go to prison, though.


did not know!


Very good to see all this in one short page!


sad but hosting static content like his site in a cloud would save him a headache. i know i know, "do it yourself" and all but if that is his path he knows the price. maybe i am wrong and do not understand the problem but it seems like he is asking for a headache.

edit: words


I think the author would agree, and is in fact the point of his post.

The only way to solve these problems is using some large hosted platform where they have the resources to constantly be managing these issues. This would solve their problem.

But isn't it sad that we can't host our own websites anymore, like many of us used to? It was never easy, but it's nearly impossible now and this is only one reason.


i think it has been a hard to host a site since about 2007. i stopped then because it is too much work to keep it safe. even worse now but it has always been extra work since search engines. maybe the OP is just getting older and wants to spend time with his kids and not play with nginx haha.


such a dumb name unless he wanted it.


I can read 6502 machine code raw hex. Now what. ;-)


very good article! i am surprised how such simple circuit was used in the 5f1!


>> The PCB was ordered from JLCPCB, where I opted to have most of the components pre-soldered.

very expensive, you are committed! :)

you should have gone Full Giertz and added a badd little robot arm that turn the pot.

esp32 are really nice: hundreds of code examples that do what you want without having to read too many pages. did you use ARDUINO IDE or idf.py SDK?


My current record is $19 (including shipping!) for two assembled boards of https://github.com/xobs/soundoff which is a little device that shuts off 5V power to a USB-A port when it detects the PC it's connected to goes to sleep.


I was actually pleased with how cheap it ended up: less than $20 USD for the board + assembly + every component.

I set ESPHome to use IDF under the hood, you can check out my full ESPHome config for this: https://git.ellis.codes/e/esphome-configs/src/branch/main/vo...


interesting! i tried to order some assembled boards and was told $200+ (US) for only ~20 smd parts.


I've noticed that some things can make the price suddenly skyrocket. Certain PCB specifications for one (though couldn't name anything in particular off hand). The one thing that caught me by surprise was that if I wanted to have JLCPCB solder the ESP32 for me the cost would jump by more than double, and the PCB would have to be physically larger. Something about their "Economic" vs. "Standard" PCB assembly where, for reasons I'm not clear on, the ESP32 could only be done under the latter. I opted to solder that component myself, of course.


i think that was a summary of the article, which you can click on! haha!


using opencv for image diffs is common quick hack, but shadows will ruin this (bright sun all of a sudden), not to mention nonpigeons haha! hate to say it but yolo/ssd work good for this:

i tried to deal with sleeplessness by using multiple 5mg melatonin pills per night and it did nothing and made me fell gross. then my doctor said to cut 3 mg pills in half, and 1.5 mg worked far better than over-dosing myself! but he didn't tell me it was bad for me, but only i was taking TOO much of it.
