I'm sorry for all this bike lane talk y'all, but it's getting nuts out there. A local gallery owner is saying that the new bike lane was responsible for the deaths of two pedestrians.

The people he is referring to were both killed by reckless drivers a few blocks from his business. One of them was killed months before the bike lane had even been built!

I'm truly disappointed at how low some shop owners are going to try to remove a fucking bike lane. https://missionlocal.org/2023/12/data-fails-to-back-claims-of-valencia-bike-lane-kneecapping-business/#comment-967303

The single most important thing a new Nova player needs to know:

NEVER TAKE SLOW NOVA INTO PUBLIC DEFENSE MISSIONS

I don’t care if it’s level 250 steel path, just don’t do it. Rage quitting will ensue if you do.

The number two thing about Nova:

If there’s any poetry in your soul at all, her reduced power strength version is not “SpeedVa”. It’s **“GOVA.” **

Those important PSAs out of the way, I love Nova. She’s one of the few frames that offers flexible enough powers to be truly creative. By which I mean her Antimatter Drop, which can be combined with Wormhole to do some truly amazing things. If you’re wondering what I mean, check out DE’s trick shot competition winners: forums.warframe.com/topic/…/3/-11548009

Importantly for SlowVa, range is typically very bad. That’s because for survivability, you want the Null Star particles to stay close to you, not be heading off in all directions. Also the range of her 4 scales off duration, not range! Nova’s Molecular Fission augment helps a LOT with this too. Low range does however mean you can’t really use Wormhole. This is why I have three builds for her: SlowVa, GoVa, and Travel.

Penso che la risposta alla domanda "perché non si impara mai dal passato?" Sia fondamentale per capire certe dinamiche. Ma sebbene sia difficile dare una risposta, Credo che la risposta più semplice alla domanda sia la domanda stessa senza il punto interrogativo: "perché non si impara mai dal passato" 😂

@bread80 he's basically said that a successor to the RP2040 will have 5V tolerant pins in this Hackaday comment (https://hackaday.com/2022/09/25/pi-pico-w-does-pcmcia-gets-this-ibm-pc110-online/#comment-6516402), where he also confirms that the RP2040 is somewhat 5V tolerant:
"Note: the pads themselves are 5V tolerant for input, just not 5V5 tolerant, which is what we’d need them to be to put “5V tolerant” in the data sheet. (Hypothetical) future designs will fix this."

I commented on the article forum. TL;DR What matters to me is not that Google (or whatever search engine) is the best but is an adequate search engine. And all the search engines currently suck in contrast to how effective they were in 2013.

If we had a state-run search engine that worked as poorly as Google does, we’d hear no end of how the ideology of socialized services is awful, so if Google is the best that the market has to offer, that is far removed from good enough.

    Free Open Banking API using Nordigen / GoCardless
    https://shkspr.mobi/blog/2023/10/free-open-banking-api-using-nordigen-gocardless/

    A few weeks ago I was moaning about there being no OpenBanking API for personal use. Thankfully, I was wrong!

    As pointed out by Dave a company called Nordigen was set up to provide a free Open Banking service. It was quickly bought by GoCardless who said:

    We believe access to open banking data should be free. We can now offer it at scale to anyone - developers, partners and Fintechs - looking to solve customer problems.

    And, I'm delighted to report, it works! As a solo developer you can get access to your own data for free via the GoCardless APIs.

    Screenshot from GoCardless. 1. Test with your own data. See how the product flow would look like for your users and what data is available. 2. Set up the API. Follow our documentation to set up the API and start collecting bank account data. 3. Customise the user interface.Pay as you go. Make the user agreement flow for your customers to match your brand. 4. Ready to go live? Need help and advice to set up faster?

    You'll get back a JSON file from each of your banks and credit cards with information like this in it:

    {   "bookingDate": "2023-07-11",   "bookingDateTime": "2023-07-11T20:52:05Z",   "transactionAmount": {       "amount": "-2.35",       "currency": "GBP"   },   "creditorName": "GREGGS PLC",   "remittanceInformationUnstructured": "Greggs PLC, London se1",   "merchantCategoryCode": "5812",   "internalTransactionId": "123456789"}
    

    For foreign exchange, transactions look like this:

    {   "bookingDate": "2023-10-01",   "bookingDateTime": "2023-10-01T21:41:40Z",   "transactionAmount": {      "amount": "-0.82",      "currency": "GBP"    },    "currencyExchange": {      "instructedAmount": {         "amount": "1.00",         "currency": "USD"      },      "sourceCurrency": "USD",      "exchangeRate": "1.2195",      "targetCurrency": "GBP"   },   "creditorName": "KICKSTARTER.COM",   "remittanceInformationUnstructured": "Kickstarter.com, Httpswww.kick, 1.0 U.S. DOLLAR USA",   "merchantCategoryCode": "5815",   "internalTransactionId": "987654321"}
    

    Depending on your card and the transaction type, you might also get a few more bits of metadata.

    Get started at https://gocardless.com/bank-account-data/. From there, it's a case of following the quickstart guide.

    A few niggles

    There's a bit of bouncing around. You've got to get an API key, get the institution ID, sign in, get redirected, get an ID from the callback, then get the bank account details. And then you can get the transactions!

    Oh, and the access token only lasts a short while, so you'll need to either re-auth or use a refresh token.

    Bank authorisation only lasts 90 days, so you'll have to refresh your details every 3 months. That's standard across all opening banking, but a bit of a pain.

    GoCardless have pretty comprehensive bank coverage but they are missing a few which you might find useful.

    Because there are so many financial institution in there, you might find it difficult to work out which one you need to log in to. For example, if you have a Barclays Credit Card, which of these is the right one for you?

    {    "id": "BARCLAYCARD_COMMERCIAL_BUKBGB22",    "name": "Barclaycard Commercial Payments",    "bic": "BUKBGB22",    "transaction_total_days": "730",    "countries": [      "GB"    ],    "logo": "https://cdn.nordigen.com/ais/BARCLAYCARD_COMMERCIAL_BUKBGB22.png"  },  {    "id": "BARCLAYCARD_BUKBGB22",    "name": "Barclaycard UK",    "bic": "BUKBGB22",    "transaction_total_days": "730",    "countries": [      "GB"    ],    "logo": "https://cdn.nordigen.com/ais/BARCLAYCARD_COMMERCIAL_BUKBGB22.png"  },  {    "id": "BARCLAYS_BUSINESS_BUKBGB22",    "name": "Barclays Business",    "bic": "BUKBGB22",    "transaction_total_days": "730",    "countries": [      "GB"    ],    "logo": "https://cdn.nordigen.com/ais/BARCLAYS_WEALTH_BUKBGB22.png"  },  {    "id": "BARCLAYS_CORPORATE_BUKBGB22",    "name": "Barclays Corporate",    "bic": "BUKBGB22",    "transaction_total_days": "730",    "countries": [      "GB"    ],    "logo": "https://cdn.nordigen.com/ais/BARCLAYS_WEALTH_BUKBGB22.png"  },  {    "id": "BARCLAYS_BUKBGB22",    "name": "Barclays Personal",    "bic": "BUKBGB22",    "transaction_total_days": "730",    "countries": [      "GB"    ],    "logo": "https://cdn.nordigen.com/ais/BARCLAYS_WEALTH_BUKBGB22.png"  },  {    "id": "BARCLAYS_WEALTH_BUKBGB22",    "name": "Barclays Wealth",    "bic": "BUKBGB22",    "transaction_total_days": "730",    "countries": [      "GB"    ],    "logo": "https://cdn.nordigen.com/ais/BARCLAYS_WEALTH_BUKBGB22.png"  },
    

    But, overall, it's an excellent service. Now I just need to find / write something to ingest the data and do something with it!
