Can the developer or any Rust users comment on using Sonatino with the Rust ESP32-S3 toolchain?

Is there an SVD file defining the Sonatino's specialized peripherals so one can use rust2svd to create a Peripheral Access Crate (PAC) specific to the Sonatino? I'm interested in the other ergonomic Rust HAL representations as well.

Engine Simulator is an interesting example of this type of work: https://www.youtube.com/@AngeTheGreat


Trumpet Simulator is also very impressive though source not presently available

Engine Simulator is not source available either, but there are plans to open source it.


Yeah, was also going to mention this YouTube channel. It’s really good and he does everything from scratch.


I was hopeful this would be minimalist, secured contacts version of general purpose OS used in more powerful smartwatches. Regular phone and message apps, parent-limited contacts, communications logged where the parent can review/block it.

We are currently sharing a Verizon Gizmo 3 among multiple children. The GizmoHub app is not bad but its mandatory use is frustrating. Friends need substantial parental help to start communicating with the Gizmo user (account creation with Verizon). Forcing all communications through a dedicated and clunky app is a non-starter.

Battery life is the other challenge. Kids don't heed advice to conserve the less than all day battery life. Later when communications for pick-up are most needed, the watch is often low on power.


I couldn't figure out what software is being developed to pass the sqllogittest suite here. Will this be a SQLite-like database or SQL parser implemented Zig?

"... Lemmy is similar to sites like Reddit, Lobste.rs, or Hacker News: you subscribe to forums you're interested in, post links and discussions, then vote, and comment on them. Behind the scenes, it is very different; anyone can easily run a server, and all these servers are federated (think email), and connected to the same universe, called the Fediverse."


Compression method appears to be zstandard and uses https://github.com/klauspost/compress, for those wondering like I was.


Glad to see Lichess mentioned here. I have been trying without success to log in or password reset using a Gmail account. Messages from Lichess never seem to be delivered to Gmail, even to the Spam folder. Short of creating a throwaway account to access the forums, is there any alternate way to contact Lichess admins to ask if this is a known issue?


You can go on the lichess discord, a lot of mods and admins are online there.


Does jpm have an option install packages to a local environment (virtualenv)?


I'm not hugely into Python, so not sure about the details of virtualenv, but if you want to install packages fetched by jpm in a different directory, you can set `JANET_PATH` to where you want them to go.

So doing `export JANET_PATH=$pwd/packages` would put them into `./packages` from your current working directory.


I've never understood what motivated financial institutions to grant Mint access to account transactions and balances? Did pre-acquisition Mint somehow reach a tipping point in active users where financial institutions decided their customers would choose other banks if theirs wasn't accessible through Mint?

Are there other competing tools that have similar reach connecting to financial institution accounts?


The financial institutions never gave mint access. What happened is that mint takes a users username and password then logs in as that user and downloads (or scrapes) the transactions.

Nowadays it’s a bit more integrated with the banks, with oauth support etc. but initially they were basically just scraping.

And yes, this is a massive security hole and likely against the banks TOS (deliberately giving your credentials to a third party).


A bunch of people in this thread complain how integration has gotten way worse over the years. I'm pretty confident this is banks "fighting back" with 2-fa and other additional security measures--many seem to have the goal of locking out these kinds of services. A very few seem to be embracing it (they have a token system that have revokable read-only access).

Personally, I'm looking to move banks/credit cards towards services with better integration at the expense of other things like better returns.


Of all the free services to kill, this one really hurts. I just got my parents migrated to using Cloud Print with their Chromebooks and iStuff. As I am providing the usual family-plan IT advice from several timezones away, Cloud Print solved the biggest headache of getting their current project printed to their house or office from wherever they are (or me, if I am helping them). Supporting local printers was a time sink, and remote printing is the logical complement to cloud applications. It seems shortsighted to give it up when there is no real competition in this space AFAICT.


Expect Chromebooks to get killed as well.


"In Q4 of 2018, Chromebooks made up 21% of all notebooks sold in the US"

Yeah, especially after that google graveyard website, and all the services axed with no good replacements...

You'd have to be a fool to trust any google service for anything.


What, if any, alternatives are there for Google Voice?
