What are the rpi clones that look better?


The one I'm considering is orangePi, for example, their 2plus is available with 2gb.

Everything bellow that is probably going to be headless and then the only meaningful differentiator for me is physical ethernet.


How did you manage to leave the gang life?


Got tired. Really tired. Asked God for help. He did -- can't explain it any other way. I tried to change many times before but always came back to my old life style.


Thanks for sharing this. A compelling story. I am glad you were able to survive and thrive. Inspiring stuff.


Why do corporations acquire these kind of spaces? What do they gain from it?


To build a development you need planning permission. This will often include an agreement that public open space will be provided as an amenity for the community. Sometimes this will be as mitigation for loss of other space. Or just as a something the local authority wants. It is probably better than stricly gated communities that exclude the public community, which is what the councils want to avoid.

Also, the council may not have the funds to properly maintain the open space if it was handed to them. It makes commercial sense for operators to do landscape work themselves if that is something that matters to them. People want retail, housing developments or high end office blocks to be attractive and well maintained.


In New York they get valuable zoning concessions.

It's explicitly transactional, in consideration for the property owner providing and maintaining the space, they get to build XYZ. And as the spaces are typically adjacent to their properties, they are motivated to keep them well maintained.

The alternative seems to be that the developer build smaller, or not build at all, and provide not public space.


I would imagine as well it is sometimes (in the UK at least) part of the planning consent from the local council to provide these spaces.


Public relations and advertising. They give that land to public use, after all, so that everyone can enjoy it. They support parks. And so on.


real estate / land value


Truth is stranger than fiction


By dipping from various different angles


It's a bit like a fluid pet scan, each angle will give partial information, you "integrate" to gather the surface.

Gives me ideas.


Think of the intro to the Ghost in the Shell, where the android body is floating up through a bath, and the manufacturer layer on the body is dissolving and being removed. This method could detect that the material is 100% removed from the body as well as confirm that the body is created exactly to spec.


I guess that would be possible, but one has to do some trickery to find false data.

Maybe correlating the exact oposite dip works: Dipping a bowl shows a negative volume then the bowl begins to fill. A dome (reversed bowl) will show additional volume of trapped air at the same point.


Very useful, thanks for sharing


Can you inspect memory in this new version, like you can do in Visual Studio?


I think you're asking if it's possible to use a debugger with QT Creator. It's had support for debuggers for at least most of the last decade, and I suspect longer.


Yes, it was possible for a long time.


Fascinating indeed, thanks for sharing it


Couldn't they ransom the cargo?


"Pay us bitcoins or we'll detonate the IED we planted in your ship and sink it"


Can you elaborate a little on how it is supposed to work?


It was a track runner with three parallel tracks, "bombs" and "coins" approached you, making sounds either in front of you, to your left and right. Your job was to avoid bombs and get coins.

Pretty simple "action" game for the visually impaired. The joke is that we spent an absurd portion of the time on the visualization. The justification was that it would also have appeal for the sighted.
