I can't be the only one whose memory is so bad that I am like this in my own code base.

I seem to remember - but cannot find, even with an AI boost - someone's "law of computing" or somesuch describing the amount of time that has to pass before code you wrote is indistinguishable to you from code written by someone else. At any rate the interval is not so long.

In your own codebase you can at least run a "you simulator" to arrive at the answer fairly reliably. "Where would I have put this bit? Oh yes, of course ..."

You are not. :) my memory is disturbingly fried.

Faster than some, slower than some.

PCBs come in all different levels of complexity.

RFCOMM is old Bluetooth, not BLE.

Nordic has a serial-over-ble profile, but it is not standard like RFCOMM.

Indeed… a fact making me really sad about BLE :(. The Nordic profile might become widespread enough to become de-facto standard, but AFAIK isn't quite widespread enough yet, i.e. people are still homebrewing almost the same thing(?)

I mean, sure there are still rough edges, but it's not like rs232 over Juliet is some widely supported standard.

There are Android apps that support serial over ble

GP is talking about seeing the string oscillations alias against the 30 Hz camera frame rate.

I've never tried it.

Why not? It's been a decade away for the past 20 years.

In Sim City 2000 (released 1993) the fusion power plant became available in the game year 2050.

The joke used to be that fusion power was always 50 years away, now you're saying it's perpetually only 10 years away, that's real progress! :)

They are certainly making very real gains and it's hard to predict when commercial viability is, but the progress path is getting clearer and the number of future decades promised shorter and shorter.

I wouldn't be at all surprised if that skunk works tiny fusion project or something substantially similar was actually successful and it's just being held as a secret competitive advantage.

You have always been able to do the same thing in Python. This PEP isn't needed for that functionality.

Yeah, I'm aware the same behavior is available, but this proposal creates a call trigger on the dependency which requires far less analysis on larger projects to understand where the import needs to be moved to.

You have to create wrappers in languages like JavaScript, Lua, Python, etc. to create the same behavior.

You can declare imports at the beginning of a program that don’t load until they are used?

"defining them right before the dependency is actually used"

ChatGPT doesn't run commands, does it?

That's probably bordering on a philosophical question.

Am I "running" code if follow the control flow and say "Hello World!" out loud?

It can

I think a lot of real reviews are written by ChatGPT. People are lazy!
