One rule I like, is to ensure that, as well as validation, all validated information is dumped in a convenient format prior to running the rest of the script.
This is super helpful, assuming that some downstream process will need pathnames, or some other detail of the process just executed.
In comparison with a Pi 5, the slowest of the above, which is the X2L/Palmshell kicks the butt of the Pi 5 six ways to Wednesday. Just so much better, it's unreal. Web-page resizing works immediately, video plays well, it just feels like a real PC, even though it's a bit slower than my EliteBook, which is still pretty handy.
Not got an X4 yet, but from the link above, it should be about 50% faster than the EliteBook, which in turn is 50% faster than the X2L / Palmshell.
I know this. I’ll dig up the reference in the am.
It’s diode rom graphics.
Atari GranTrak 10 used it for graphics, but the then new rom chips for code/data.
The Space Race game. Like a bitmap soldered onto the circuit, as the article points out. This isn't the one I had in mind but it's still an excellent example.
Funny that this should come up, 30 minutes afer I put our mischief of 3 young girl rats back in their habitat, but yeah, a few concrete examples:
* Pudding rat plans escapes to the top of the habitat, whenever the door is open,
* Rats are super trainable, and will speculative do tricks for treats (ours get gerber baby puffs, or rice krispies for spinning, going through a hoop, shaking hands etc.)
* Pie rat likes loose clothing and will run into sleeves, pants, and general enjoy herself,
* Rats also love certain styles of place, depending on the rat, and will happily just chill on your shoulder, or against your tummy, or under an arm and nibble a treat,
* Crumble rat is the baby, and more timid, less curious, and prefers to hide, but will run around and climb on the humans if her sisters are doing it.
Personality-wise, rats are all across the spectrum, and that personality is visible at weaning when most rats are sold by breeders, and so far it's inherent to the rat, and not something that really changes much.
I've not ever noticed them dreaming as ours prefer to snuggle in a hammock, with some rags pulled down, but they clearly have goals, and imagination, not just 'behavior'.
Rat's aren't dogs, but a few rats can make a wonderful replacement if you're somewhere where larger pets aren't permitted.
This is so interesting. So do these domesticated pet rats have a litter box or designated area for relieving themselves, or are they like other rodents and just go where they please?
They're just like rabbits and many other rodents. They will pick a preferred bathroom spot. You can either just put a litter box there, or train them to use a specific spot. Like rabbits, they do leave the occasional poo around as a territorial marker, and males sometimes dribble urine for the same reason. But for the most part, they're pretty good about litter boxes. I've never seen one of my rats actually relieve themselves out of their cage. Just the territorial markers.
Rats are probably my favorite animal that I've kept. They really are as intelligent, personable, and expressive as dogs. But they're very clean animals, one of their man activities is social grooming. Males tend to be lazy and want to cuddle while females are more driven to explore their environment. They're also not strictly nocturnal or diurnal, but will adjust their sleep.schedule to match your activity. They sleep while you're at work, but want to play first thing in the morning and when you come home.
The only downside is that their maximum lifespan is about three years, and they need a specialty vet. Otherwise, excellent pets.
They do indeed have one (or more depending on cage size) designated areas for doing that. The specific place you put the litter box is something you teach them, but they don't need much training to learn as they do seem to naturally do this with spots they choose themselves too.
Of course it might happen occasionally outside of those areas too, but if that starts happening frequently it can be a sign that something is wrong with them health wise.
I suggest to look up his trip up from Mexico, following the migrant route. For a different view of the same trip, his travelling companion (automous something) has his own channel.
RanOutOnARail isn't really a hobo though ... I think he's a software engineer in Texas somewhere.
Hobo Shoestring has an interesting channel also, albeit with a home base. You'll learn a lot about trains, and hobos' most hated adversaries, the 'homebums'. :D
And of course, there's a 10x hobo, in stobe-the-hobo (RIP), well worth watching all his videos.
As a pet owner, rather than using insecticides, I use a couple gallons of hot water mixed with washing-up liquid to eliminate fire ant nests in my yard.
The hot soapy water washes away the structue of the nest, and quickly kills the inhabitants, whilst not damaging my lawn, or having slow acting insecticides hurting my animals and getting into the wider food chain.
I simultaneously want Jeff Minter involved and not at the same time.
The experience would be wild but he has a habit of also releasing a lot of stuff on doomed systems. Atari Jaguar, PLaystation Vita, Nuon for example. That said when you have released like 100 games, eventually you will launch on platforms with no future.
But having Tempest come out of the walls... oh man!
