nothing apparently hits the spot like some late-night hot agar

it’s the nRF24-2, and as someone who spent a few years teaching physics, I can quite readily assure you that, for the purposes of this exercise, 24-2 is 5

yeah, naturally the proper venue is to wait until Teardown 2020 so a group of us can gang up on you in the hallway track again~

Okay -- looks like I'll be doing some course design on stream tomorrow (Feb 3); tentatively at 1PM MST. I'll be looking at options for translating my university-level Digital/FPGA design course into something open, accessible, & less-stuffy, and playing with 's iCEbreaker!

That said, your points are entirely valid - Python's packaging has some major suck, and some other languages do package mgmt better. Picking the worst of the bunch _doesn't_ lead to fair comparison, and given only the context here, it's not a fair argument for/against anything.

Partially based on context that's not encapsulated in this thread (e.g. the tone/content of past discussions with ). I don't typically jump in on "tech opinions" threads; and I probably shouldn't use twitter to have conversations that depend on external context, but 'eh.

For reference, to build GNUradio, a mid-large C++ project, the C/C++ dependencies alone are built using Meson, Waf, Autotools, CMake, and at least six one-shot build tools. The long and short of it is that dependency management sucks; and Python doesn't magically fix that.

Only the problem is even worse for traditional languages like C; because there's absolutely no standard way to fetch things; and the plumbing to make things link together is implemented in six trillion different ways (automake, cmake, qmake, meson/ninja, bjam, scons, etc. etc.)

I mean, sure, but do you know how much worse the same problem is when it comes to e.g. C? Look at building an equivalently complex project (e.g. GNUradio, FreeCAD) on multiple platforms and see how many different 'modules' (read: libraries) you need to get things working.

(That same box also has the good olde F-connector coax "cable", and an ethernet-in that brings internet in from the fiber-to-the-home links.)

Is there a panel on the wall of one of your closets that could cover something like ? My apartment has ethernet in a few places (both white and blue ports) that are intended to route data and voip, respectively; and it's joined in a panel box in a closet.

I mean, a slicer is a tool to do that for me; which is pretty much what I'm looking for. I don't need to build anything if someone knows something that already exists. :)

Slic3r looks _almost_ perfect for my use case; it just seems to produce SVGs that aren’t ideal for laser-cutting. It doesn’t look like it’d be too bad to modify it to produce the desired output, though — or to add a post-processing script that fixes things up.

Ooh — thanks! I didn’t see the “slice to SVG” option hidden in the menu; this definitely looks worth checking out. Will tweet something after I test it. :)

I was thinking something like a friction-fit nut in the top plane to capture the screw; and then rubber feet with screw holes for the bottom. That’d let me not have anything protruding past the square of the case.
