To set the scene: I wanted to build my own devboard for my own projects. I'm sat here looking at my screen after having opened KiCAD with some of the documentation for an STM32H7 MCU. It dawns on me that I have absolutely zero clue of what I am looking at and have no idea where to start beyond watching youtube. Here I am now writing this.

My approach to running a link blog
(simonwillison.net)
I started running a basic link blog on this domain back in November 2003—publishing links (which I called “blogmarks”) with a title, URL, short snippet of commentary and a “via” link where appropriate.

Ask HN: What are you reading/learning/working on over the holiday break?
(ycombinator.com)
This time of the year many people take time off to spend time with family and have extra free time to work on their own stuff (Python was famously created as a Christmas break project), so I’m curious how you’ll be using this extra time?

1,600 days of a failed hobby data science project

⭐ I spent >1,600 days working on a data science project that then failed because I lost interest. This article is to cope with the failure and maybe help you (and me) to finish successful data science projects by summarising a few learnings into a checklist, see below.

Training myself to run farther with Strava's API and an IoT dog feeder of M&Ms
(mayer.cool)
I bought an IOT dog food dispenser, filled it with M&Ms, and made a script checks the Strava API to see if I ran a sufficient distance. If I did, I got a reward like the good boy I was.

Lush: My favorite small programming language
(wordpress.com)
I meant to write about this when I started my blog in 2009. Eventually Lush kind of faded out of my consciousness, as it was a lot easier to get work doing stuff in R or Matlab or whatever. The guy who was maintaining the code moved on to other things. The guys who wrote most of the code were getting famous because of the German Traffic Sign results. I moved on to other things.

MomBoard: E-ink display for a parent with amnesia
(miksovsky.com)
Today marks two years since I first set up an e-ink display in my mom’s apartment to help her live on her own with amnesia. The display has worked extremely well during those two years, so I’m sharing the basic set-up in case others find it useful for similar situations.
