Environment Canada has hourly historical data for many stations. Some may be daily. https://climate.weather.gc.ca/historical_data/search_histori...


I was disappointed with how bad avr-gcc was at optimizing code. Here's one of several examples I found. https://nerdralph.blogspot.com/2015/03/fastest-avr-software-...


In my younger years groups of friends would rent time on racing tracks in Ontario and Quebec. Mecaglisse and Shannonville tracks were a couple that I drove on, at speeds of over 220kph.


Part of the problem is the different ways addresses are expressed throughout the world. I was born and grew up in Canada, and was confused when I started dealing with companies in China. Instead of street addresses, many are given by province, city, district, sub-district, and a building number.

Another problem is choosing which authority for the "correct" address. I've seen many cases where the official postal address city/town name is different than the 911 database. For example Canada Post will say some street addresses are in Dartmouth, while the official civic address is really Cole Harbour. https://www.canadapost-postescanada.ca/ac/ https://nsgi.novascotia.ca/civic-address-finder/

Even streets can have multiple official names/aliases. People who live on "East Bay Hwy", also live on "Highway 4", which is an alias.


I've used OSRM and Arcgis for addresses in Canada. I think one or both of them have POI support in their APIs. https://route.arcgis.com/arcgis/


I tried D several years ago, and liked the language. I didn't stick with it because of the lack of libraries compared to perl, python, C++, etc.


I think schematics are easier to read than looking at a (fritzing?) breadboard layout. Discrete resistors aren't necessary for the buttons if you enable the internal pullups on the RP2040.


This. Also still waiting for AI to be able to read schematics, its going to make my life so much easier.


I'm fairly sure it can read them now.


When I traveled to KL in 2019 I was impressed with how open and tolerant it was. My wife and I were asked no questions upon entry. Our passports were stamped and we were told "Welcome to Malaysia". We went during Eid, and were very comfortable despite being western atheists.


Open & tolerant? As a gay man you just made me laugh & cry. Hell, even fairly recently: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c8rkx271xe6o a kiss between 2 men on stage got the band banned from the country.

Now, before you completely disregard the point I'm making; yes, they did ignore the laws/warnings they were given but your point is that Malaysia is tolerant and my point is that Malaysia is not tolerant at all.

We should call out intolerance when we see it; saying homophobia is a part of their "culture" is not good enough.


Ignoring an explicit law and then getting punished (and not even all that badly) is not at all germane to the subject, which is insecurity about rules that may start existing soon or are undocumented.

If you go to a muslim country and make out with another dude you're making a statement, which is fine. You know what the consequences will be before you do it. Your described scenario is no different from saying using white phosphorus on civilians is bad on stage in the US, which will also land you in incredible trouble.


It was _just_ an example of their intolerance having a real world effect.

That's why I _specifically_ made a statement about people missing my point, because I knew someone would, because people _always_ do when it comes to imagining how they would feel if they were persecuted like that.

The point _isn't_ that someone can go there and "break the law". The point _is_ that there was a claim that they are tolerant and I refute that claim by saying that they are not.


The Parent is a Chinese-Malay and they do have grievances but his answer is probably biased. Malaysia is far from perfect but it is not Afghanistan. It is one of the best Muslim countries.


I'd argue Germany is the better Muslim country.


It is not a full on dictatorship. Religions other than Islam are definitely allowed. I am Malaysian and literally grew up in a Christian missionary school.


Not as capable as Flea-Scope, but buck50 is another MCU-based oscilloscope and logic analyzer. https://github.com/thanks4opensource/buck50


> Probably some development board with a microcontroller using Cortex-M33 would be the easiest to find and it should cost no more than $20 to $30.

The Pi Pico 2 RP2350 has dual Cortex-M33 cores (and RISC-V), and costs US$5.
