Must be a problem with floating point precision.

I’m sure there are ways to suppress output from stdin presenting in the terminal but I couldn’t tell you how to do it without looking it up myself.

The easiest entry point to this problem that I can think of off the top of my head is password input masking (e.g., when you run sudo and type your password, it prevents character output even though the characters are read by the application).

There is almost certainly a much better and more appropriate mechanism to prevent stdin characters from printing directly to the terminal (perhaps some kind of special character? A TTY control option?) but I don’t know it off-hand.

In general allowing content to be supplied in advance on stdin is desirable behavior, because it allows a developer to (for example) write applications that work as pipes that can have content queued on the input stream ready for processing.

If that behaviour doesn’t suit your use case and you need to only accept input after a certain point, you could read() and simply ignore/discard the current content of stdin before you write your question/accept the answer from the user.

Don’t forget the 300-comment-long “+1” feature request chains

Ah nice, you’re GPIO to generate tones with PWM. Very cool!

Great to hear you got it sorted! May I ask out of curiosity which library you are using to play sounds?

It should be possible, but the answer is going to depend on your implementation, what libraries you are using, and so on.

For example, if the play sound action is synchronous, then maybe you could start it up in another thread, and interrupt that thread if you want to cancel the sound.

If it’s asynchronous, maybe you need to retain a reference to the sound object and then invoke a stop() call when the other button is pressed.

WHY IS IT SO FUNNY

That’s fair, except I did read the page that I posted which contains details about the harvest site that only mentions the underground source and does not make any statements about the ocean.

Given the article above, and coupled with the knowledge that Mildura is definitely not near the ocean (in this millennium), it seemed reasonable to assert that that the salt was not derived from the ocean.

So yeah, I did read the link that I posted, but it did not mention that the salt deposits literally hundreds of kilometers inland originated from the ocean millions of years ago.

I withdraw my original statement, and hope you have a swell day. :)

Didn’t realise the ocean ever came up that far - it’s very inland. I stand corrected…The more you know!

Except for all of the salt that isn’t sea salt…

Edit: Apparently many millions of years ago, the salt was deposited by the ocean as the continent emerged, so even though this salt is harvested hundreds of kilometers inland, it is technically originally from the ocean.

Neat! Very well executed.

Gives me “The Expanse” crossed with “Picard” intro vibes.

Ive been using Pixelfed since late June quite happily. I’ve never used stories, but it looks like they have them if that’s something that interests you:
