It turns out you CAN read the pico BOOTSEL pin from software.

I became aware of this possibility after pimoroni tweeted that you could use the BOOTSEL button as a MIDI trigger on their upcoming "Tiny2040". We speculated whether there was a small HW circuit to accomplish this, or if it was SW only. Now I have the answer.

I was also heavily informed by the bootloader source, the body of the reading code is taken directly from there with adjusted timings.

The general idea:

• Pressing the button applies a strong pull-down.
• Normally after start-up, this pin is always being driven by the Pico's QSPI peripheral, so the button has no effect

To me, "require-and-automatically-visible" is violating the beauty of namespace. But, maybe I felt this way because I don't understand Clojure's registry or how require works.

I thought about this more, and I think I have a better understanding of why this feels strange. Clojure has one thing called "namespaces" which are clojure.lang.Namespace objects created by the ns macro. Functionally speaking they are a storage location which mostly just contain vars and references to vars in other namespaces. They are used for code organization: specifically for organizing vars and occasionally Java classes and interfaces.

Clojure also has a completely different thing called "namespaces" which are prefixes that get attached to keywords and symbols. These can interact with ns namespaces thru the reader in a handful of ways (for instance, ::double-colon keywords and symbols inside backtick forms are resolved according to the current clojure.lang.Namespace) but for the most part should be considered a di

One of the many reasons I love working with Ruby is it has a rich vocabulary that allows you to accomplish your goals with a minimal amount of code. If there isn't a method that does exactly what you want, it's usually possible to build an elegant solution yourself.

Let's take the example of simulating the rolling of a die.

We can represent a die as an array of its faces.

die = [*?⚀..?⚅]
# => ["⚀", "⚁", "⚂", "⚃", "⚄", "⚅"]
