I switched to posting on Mastodon: I will still check Twitter every now and then, but more in a reader mode than active publisher. Maybe this will change back later, but for now this is the flow I am comfortable with.

@playdate I have contacted PlayDate support 2 weeks ago about changing an address, but no response since. I have recently moved and I am worried that my PlayDate will be shipped to the wrong address in the end. Is there any chance you could take a look? Thank you!

UPS website deleted all 90 items I manually described for customs 2 (!) times in a row without any kind of warning. After that, it got stuck in an error state. How the fuck filling an online form is the hardest step of sending 6 boxes abroad?

Our bodies have hardcoded interpreters called ribosomes, which read special bytecode to create proteins. I mean, they even have a zero byte at the end to mark termination of the program...biology is insane.

Colours are better in real life. Here are some samples after playing with the camera lighting

Regarding things being old - cannot say the same for my fountain pen though! My roommate decided that disassembled fountain pen looks a lot like a piece of trash and threw it away when I was out of the country 😄

I soldered a tiny lighthouse from @pimoroni ^^

@Jalecko_ @Raspberry_Pi Yep, that's the one

@Jalecko_ @Raspberry_Pi Pico Display 2 from Pimoroni

@Jalecko_ @Raspberry_Pi That is an option! However, I wanted something which can be deployed on "vanilla" Pico.

@sdelang_asu @Raspberry_Pi Cool, thanks for all the insight! This turned out to be significantly larger than the original weekend project I scoped 😅 Great work with yocto-8!

@sdelang_asu @Raspberry_Pi Interesting! Which lua runtime you are using? I have tried and collectgarbage("count") consistently shows 300-400 KB every frame on celeste classic. It is measured on my laptop though, it might be different on the device itself.

@Raspberry_Pi However, it seems that @sdelang_asu was able to solve the RAM issue with some dark magic in yocto-8. Impressive! I was hoping for a more straightforward solution, but 264KB of RAM is 264KB of RAM in the end😄

@lexaloffle In case there is, maybe I can rewrite it outside of .wasm file🤔 I guess native code would take less space / would be optimized more aggressively than the WASM alternative. If that is true, I would be able to reduce .wasm only to the cart-specific part and call it instead.

Another "revolutionary" #embedded debugging technique I discovered is putting a led blink after each line of code to see if it reached there 😅 Cannot wait for another Pico to arrive to setup a proper hardware debugging with probe-rs 🔨

Sure enough, after I specified the correct pin, the board started blinking at me 🎉 Does anybody know what was producing this sound? Was that a crystal oscillator on the board or something else? n/n
