    What's new in ArduinoJson 7

    14:56What's new in ArduinoJson 7
    • Fixed memory allocation is perfect when resources are scarce but requires more discipline from the programmer. During the past five years, we attended to the rise of 32-bit microcontrollers, first with the ESP8266, then with the ESP32 and all the ARM-based MCUs. 32-bit microcontrollers have much more memory but also a bigger runtime framework, so Arduino JSON now represents a small fraction of the executable. If we compare the parser example on the two versions of the Arduino Uno, we see that Arduino JSON 7 makes up about two-thirds of the executable on R3 but only 7% on R4. Because the proportion is much smaller, the difference between Arduino JSON 6 and 7 is neglectable on 32-bit microcontrollers. For example, on Arduino Uno R4 minima, the parser example only grew by 2.3% and the generator example by 1.7%. As you can see, the size of the library is not so important anymore. Arduino JSON 7 can run on 8-bit microcontrollers but if the memory is tight, it's probably better if you stick with version 6.

    Before You Get Back With Your Ex — Watch THIS

    13:48Before You Get Back With Your Ex — Watch THIS
    • News that two people who had a harrowing break-up are now trying to get back together again a few months or years down the line tends, among sensible people, to raise at the very least suspicion, if not outright irritation and despair. Why are these two cursed lovers heading back to the old chaos and drama? Isn't this just a fantasy sprung from naivety, loneliness and most probably short-term lust? Shouldn't they keep faith with their original choice, double down on the highs and lows of dating and perhaps each buy a dog? And yet, to deny ex-couples any legitimate chance to revisit their situation also feels excessively punitive and in its way naïve, insisting blindly that people can never change, that psychotherapy and introspection, books and conversations, time and long walks have nothing whatsoever to teach us, is as foolish as to assume that change can come readily and lightly. For every misguided attempt to resume a relationship, there must be a proportion of equally misguided refusals to countenance a new start, born not out of wisdom so much as pre-emptive fear and disbelief that people are, occasionally, able to learn a new thing or two. We need to make progress a tool with which to strip the matter of sentiment and rationally distinguish mature from sentimental plans. What follows is a sequence of questions, amounting to a kind of examination, that exes who are meeting up again after a long break should discuss with one another – and as importantly, with themselves – before coming anywhere near to holding hands, let alone – and here we must be very definitive – going to bed.
