> > I never claimed to be funny

> You literally used the word "comical" in the previous post. English is not my language, but if I search for a definition, I get: "comical: arousing or provoking laughter".

One can make an attempt at humour without the whole audience necessarily finding it funny. I was not confused by SubzeroCarnage's wording at all.

You call them out for lacking communication skills and being offensive, but if anything you're the one with lacking English comprehenshion, lashing out because of a misunderstanding on your part.


Sure, maybe :-). Would you mind explaining it to me, then? It went like this:

They said:

> I think most people [...] can understand the comical take of that title.

I said:

> I did not find it comical at all

To which they answered:

> I never claimed to be funny

To which I answered that their previous message literally said "the title I wrote was comical".

As you mentioned, I am "lacking English comprehenshion". Can you explain to me how saying "I wrote a comical sentence" does not imply "claiming to be funny"?


There's such a thing as unfunny comedians.


Another alternative is to use the RMT (remote control module). I've had success with that. There's a driver for it in Rust: https://lib.rs/crates/ws2812-esp32-rmt-driver


RMT glitches when wifi is accessed. I started with RMT, it was a big fail for me.


They are callable from plain Rust. See the crate `esp-idf-sys` [1]. I'm using ESP32-C3, Rust, and the IDF for a DIY RGB room lighting solution [2]. Convenient MQTT and OTA updates -- it's great! Espressif and the Rust community have done an amazing job.

But I'd also love to be able to do the project without ESP IDF, using `no_std` and smaller specific crates instead. The solution for using ESP IDF in Rust is fairly convenient, but it does require some extra steps and the disk usage is not insignificant. A pure Rust solution would be more elegant.

Seriously. The post should've just been the "Rust Isn’t Fun for Me" section. That's the reason, everything else is just rationalizing.

To be clear, I don't mean to disparage the author's decision. Programming can be an artistic endeavour, where personal enjoyment trumps most concerns. If programming C is what keeps you motivated, go ahead and use it! Just be aware that this may make your software risky to use and rejected in many real-world situations.


Also, get a new smoke detector just to verify that you're not sleeping every night in a room with a carbon monoxide leak.


In addition, see if you can start sleeping with your window open overnight. Even if you don't have CO, if you're sleeping in a small room with a closed door and windows, your CO2 concentration will be really high.


You mean, get a CO detector. Smoke detectors won’t help.


I can write on a piece of paper, right now, that I have supreme power over the state. That doesn't actually make it so.

Most of the powers the monarchs in Scandinavia supposedly have can't actually be enforced in reality, so they really don't have as much power as you seem to think.

On the opposite end, is North Korea a democracy just because it says so in their constitution?


Sounds like the Zeitgeist movement. Just some Americans re-inventing socialism yet again (more specifically the branch of socialism sometimes referred to as Fully Automated Luxury Gay Space Communism), but not reading any of the existing theory, thus resulting in this square wheel scenario.


In fact this site and the idea was promoted heavily in the original release of the Zeitgeist movie by Peter Joseph back in 2007 and 2010. It's too bad really because the first parts of that movie minus the weird psychological intro was actually quite interesting. It was a very divisive and curious set of topics covered that caused different factions to try to debunk each other. They are still at it to this day. You can find pieces of it on youtube but now that it is a well funded movie they keep pulling it. The debates from all the people he angered are still up though. It really upset many religious communities.

Seriously. Opus is close to transparent already at 128kbps.


> > More broadly, the big news of the election seems a clear rejection of the far-left agenda.

> 100% agree with this conclusion.

Except the reason that Biden isn't doing as great as he could be is because he's too centrist. He isn't getting enough of the far-left vote because of their apathy towards his agenda, which does not reach far enough by far.

As an example, Florida did not vote for Biden. Not because he's too left, but because he's not left enough. The proof for this is that they also just voted to increase the minimum wage to $15. The democrats wanted a candidate with broader appeal than Bernie, but they only succeeded in alienating the social-conservatives even further.


>As an example, Florida did not vote for Biden. Not because he's too left, but because he's not left enough.

If this were true, then Florida's state laws wouldn't so conservative. Passing one minimum wage law, which is long overdue and lags behind any "left" state, does not lead to the conclusion that Florida would have voted for someone such as Bernie Sanders.

Even the minimum wage law FL passed is very weak. It's $1 per year, starting at $10 per hour, starting Sep 1, 2021.


Isn't that basically how you'd write it in Prolog?
