It's not really full stack if it doesn't include custom hardware that runs a custom OS.

In particular, numpy, scipy and matplotlib are pains to build yourself.
Yeah, even though homebrew is designed so that "build yourself" is supposed to "just work", those are really annoying. As mentioned above, that shit brings in among other things llvm, gcc, and I guess scipy compiles every single fortran file that has ever been written.
If you add tensorflow, scikit-learn, etc. to the mix (which I didn't ask for, but alas) it seems like everything depends on everything else.
Also, why TF do you need to update all that shit from LLVM 12.0.0 to 12.0.1?! That's a patch version, right? There should be no reason to update everything downstream of that.

It's LLVM therefore that's probably a binary compatibility breaking change.

I just bought more isopropyl alcohol and another box of nitrile gloves for 3D printing. (Walmart online shopping is divided between Walmart grocery and walmart.com, with some rather arbitrary divisions of what you can get through each system. Walmart grocery has only one choice for bulk (>10) nitrile gloves, and they've been out of them for a long time, so I checked the walmart.com side of the system, and they have lots of them. They also have 2-packs of isopropyl alcohol bottles, and you can purchase multiple 2-packs, instead of the single bottle per order limit of Walmart grocery; I don't know why I didn't think to check that earlier.) So Walmart helpfully suggests that "customers who bought this also bought" ... incontinence pads. Um, thanks Walmart, but no thanks.
In other status, my next shipment of printing resin is in TX, about 3 hours away, but hasn't yet been handed over to USPS for delivery, so I don't even have an estimated delivery date.
Meanwhile, according to eBay, the resin filter and funnel (which I need rather soon; I'm running low on disposable filters) is still:
Today is 24 July; I don't think I'm going to get it by 21 July — not 21 July this year, anyway. USPS says it's
I'm really getting tired of the delivery distortion field.

80ma when WiFi is active (or more if it's transmitting).
This would last maybe two hours on battery?
Eek....

I think i managed to accidentally let it sleep, so now it draws only 24ma on average, but still that's only a few days... Hrm....

That depends on how close it is to the access point. But yes.

You can get most RF to propagate within a suitable waveguide...

That's close enough. If you'd been further away, it would have been worse.
I asked because operating a radio transmitter is known to be power hungry, and greater range makes it worse. Wifi isn't noted for efficiency anyway (I think it has to do with AP discovery), but no sense heaping trouble on trouble.
-
@dkf said in The Official Status Thread:
power hungry
Yeah, in theory it's fine to be power hungry. For a minute or so every 15 minutes or so. But the rest of the time I want it to be at that micro-amp rating.
Reading online, I essentially need to use a function that kills everything but the RTC for this to happen, and in order for the RTC to wake the unit back up it needs to have a wire between two pins (that aren't close to each other at all), which these prebuilt boards most definitely do not have. For raisins.

That's not good, given that you're in AZ and the ambient air temperature is like 150°.

I see you've met my watch.
(The capacitor in it is not healthy, so it ticks at an extremely variable rate — fast-slooooow fast-slooooow fast-slooooow — and rapidly loses time when I'm not wearing it. It's done this once before 10–15 years ago; I need to take it to a place that does proper watch repairs.)
