@natecull @clacke (sorry for the second ping, took me a minute to track down this article, but) https://blog.izs.me/2010/12/an-open-letter-to-javascript-leaders-regarding is a good overview. I don't use semicolons either, but there are a few things to watch out for!

@natecull @clacke it is a semicolon thing. the brackets are interpreted as being part of a previous line. putting "const" in front of that destructure (or a semicolon) will solve that issue. one of the few things that will bite you when you don't use semis in JavaScript.

@jk I've been using vscode with platform.io. works great but I am new to embedded, so I can't say if it lacks compared to other offerings. vscode itself is very nice though.

JET SET RADIOOOOOO

when i send myself a test email

looking at circuit diagrams for vga -> HDMI converters and wondering if I can build one without setting my hair on fire.

it looks like misumi has them but requires a quote; that ain't gonna be cheap

also, all the ones on mcmaster-carr are also imperial measurements. is this a thing?

trying to find metric parts on amazon is frustrating; seeing a bunch of steel rods listed as 100mm (4"). 100mm is not 4". It's close, but it's not. These ones I ended up with are 4" and _not_ 100mm. really frustrated.
