Hi!
Anyone here worked on Espruino WiFi Board espruino.com/WiFi

@RoryAlsop Looks pretty interesting, and the backer prices seem reasonable too; I'll have to keep an eye on it

@RoryAlsop crossposting to The Bakery
I like the name of the device, though the routing on the PCB does not follow my personal style guide ;)

@Ghanima I think he aimed it to be very obvious in every way, so that parents/teachers could build and use with kids, which may have steered some of his routing choices.

Phew, back!
Sorry for being gone for so long (tm).
Take that back, actually, I'm not sorry (sorry!); I was enjoying myself. ;)

@anonymous2 Nice to see you around again!
@anonymous2, you beat me to the comment

@Aurora0001 Was untapping, but had about 5 minutes warning before leaving, so I didn't even have time to drop a comment.
@Aurora0001 ;)
As soon as I saw the downvote, I started typing fast. ;)

Bother.
Not on IoT, btw.
On AU.
 
Aurora0001
Aurora0001
Not even got Enthusiast yet?
 
anonymous2
anonymous2
On IoT, yes, not on Ask Ubuntu.
Wait, no I haven't.
Oh my!
I didn't realise that I don't have it on IoT.
I've been trying to keep up my record on some sites, but I didn't even realise I don't have it here...
 
Aurora0001
Aurora0001
Yeah, seems like you're unlucky... You get close every time and then miss a couple of days

@Aurora0001 It has to do with the nature of my work.
 
Aurora0001
Aurora0001
Yeah, I gathered. Perhaps you need a bot

I work for a couple days solid, then have a week "off" or so.
@Aurora0001 Lol.
I can play by the rules at least... I'm not that badge hungry.
We all know a badge isn't worth the screen it's displayed on.
 
Aurora0001
Aurora0001
@anonymous2 Badges are just as valuable as rep ;)
 
anonymous2
anonymous2
@Aurora0001 In other words, not at all?
 
Aurora0001
Aurora0001
Indeed. Although I suppose rep does give you privileges
 
anonymous2
anonymous2
I'd frankly rather be helping people 4 days out of 7 than sitting around counting badges 7 / 7.
Review queues, answers, questions, on whatever stacks I can help on. :)
 
Aurora0001
Aurora0001
@anonymous2 But you can't help people unless you have the badge to prove it! (tm)
 
anonymous2

7:29 PM
@Aurora0001 Definitely. (tm)

You're not doing bad with your people reached stat... 19,000 people
Quite impressive to think of
 
anonymous2
anonymous2
57k for you.
@Aurora0001 Yes, but I realised just how impossible those stats are. Check my workplace account.
 
Aurora0001
Aurora0001
69,000... wow
 
anonymous2
anonymous2
It kept jumping up, and I kept wondering why.
Reason was, I answered a HNQ while it was still hot.
So all those views got attributed to me.
 
Aurora0001
Aurora0001
Heh, it's a weird co-incidence... I read that answer earlier today
But didn't realise it was yours
 
anonymous2
anonymous2
7:32 PM
Which one?
 
Aurora0001
Aurora0001
The "Dealing with an employee that went over my head"
 
anonymous2
anonymous2
Oh, yes. My top network post that I wrote in about 2 minutes. :)
So maybe I really am reaching that many people. ;)
 
Aurora0001
Aurora0001
Well, as I say, I didn't notice the user... but obviously your post did reach me
That question on IoT is incredible for being very hot and yet getting nearly zero views
This one:

Q: How can I set up main and failover MQTT subscribers for a job queue with AWS IoT?

Paul GrinbergI have an system where a client (let's call it ClientA) can publish requests to a particular MQTT topic. The broker, in case it matters, is Amazon Web Services. Then I have another client (let's call it MainSubscriber) which is always subscribed to the same topic so that it can pick up requests f...

76 views, yet it's at 88% 'hotness'

anonymous2
76? Mine says 80, I think...
 
Aurora0001
Aurora0001
Yeah, it just updated
 
anonymous2

7:37 PM
Yep, 80.
Lots of comments here which basically were opinions and commentary. Take those to chat instead of here, thanks. — enderland ♦ 2 days ago

Oops... About the HNQ?

Well, check the Area51 stats.
 
Ghanima
Ghanima
how long will you be watching its development ;)
 
anonymous2
anonymous2
@Ghanima Until it's graduated!
 
Aurora0001
Aurora0001
@anonymous2 You mean forever? ;)
 
Ghanima
Ghanima
what?
do questions graduate these days?
 
anonymous2
anonymous2
@Ghanima "It" referred to the question or the site?
 
Aurora0001
Aurora0001
7:43 PM
Graduate to the HNQs? Although that's more a punishment in some ways...
 
anonymous2
anonymous2
Or rather the Area51 stats...
 
Ghanima
Ghanima
I can't follow
 
anonymous2
anonymous2
@Aurora0001 Yes, brings in lots of NAA's and VLQ's....
@Ghanima You asked how long we will be watching "it"'s development.
 
Aurora0001
Aurora0001
@Ghanima When you said "how long will you be watching its development ;)", @anonymous2 thought you meant the site, not the question
 
anonymous2
anonymous2
<Gulp.>
 
Ghanima
Ghanima
7:46 PM
which site btw?
 
anonymous2
anonymous2
@Ghanima IoT.SE?
 
Ghanima
Ghanima
ah
out of a thousand guesses I would have never got that
 
anonymous2
anonymous2
8:02 PM
@Ghanima Funny, there are only a hundred or so.
Oh, no, I suppose not, actually.
89, precisely.
 
Ghanima
Ghanima
that cannot be right
Accounts (92)
and I haven't even joined each and every site

anonymous2
@Ghanima Sorry, was just counting betas, since we were talking about graduation.
@Ghanima You haven't? Slacker!
 
Ghanima
Ghanima
yeah, I figured that a second (or a tenth of a second) after posting that
now you make me look stupid
@anonymous2 I will, uhm, join them, right away

so, kids, how is the going
anything noteworthy happened on A51?
 
anonymous2
anonymous2
1.4 Q's per day. Better than it has been, and some of those are really input from new community members, so that's good.
It still has plenty of room for improvement.
We've had a couple subject matter experts join recently and make a couple quality posts, so we're grateful for that.

real sme's?

And His Madnificents isn't doing anything terrible right now.

@Ghanima I thought about using that abbreviation, but a quick Google turned up Small and medium-sized enterprises, so I thought better of it.
@Ghanima Helmar and I are hard put to it, but we manage more or less. ;)

@anonymous2 true
but since you established the term I felt confident to use an acronym
