That means - you press a (possibly virtual) button and an LED lights up someplace else.

Google search that was useless : "what is the easiest way to get a notification on your phone from a device at home?"
Another one "do you need a subscription to get notifications from home kit devices?"

Set Up Raspberry Pi's WiFi Access Through Windows
Okay, had heard that, once you have the card ready for the Pi, it's also readable on the PC - in an intelligible way.
Tried the card from 5 years ago - and, when I plug it in (it's an SD, not microSD BTW - for the version 1 Pi)- I get two new USB drives showing - one readable, the other saying "Need to format." No thanks.
But, with the brand new one I just got, when I plug in, I get..
four new drives! And yes, there's a boot(G:) that does have the wpa_supplicant.conf
So, let's see :)
Yes, that gets the Pi showing up when you run nmap through the Zenmap GUI (for those of you who are wary of the Russian alternative - Advanced IP Scanner).
But, try getting in with ssh and... connection refused. *d Caleb Bergquist. Be thorough man!
Turns out, you need a file in your boot directory called ssh - just an empty file. And that will take care of it. My advice, go to Cygwin and then /cygdrive/g and touch it and you're done. Notepad++ manages to still give you grief, though I'm sure it's Windows to be blamed.
But, beware - what do you do if you've booted up your Pi and now can't turn it off for want of being able to connect? Caveman :( You have to connect a USB keyboard and then, very carefully,
CTRL-ALT-F1 and then very carefully, "sudo shutdown -h now" and see the LED blink 10 times and then you're good to pull the plug.

A More Efficient If (VM Code) Than Shimon's
Shimon (or one of his underlings - maybe Yaron)
expression
if-goto IF_TRUE0
goto IF_FALSE0
label IF_TRUE0
if-statements
goto IF_END0
label IF_FALSE0
else-statements
label IF_END0
when all you really need is :
expression
if-goto IF_TRUE0
else-statements
goto IF_END0
label IF_TRUE0
if-statements
label IF_END0
So, why would they choose to implement the less optimal thing?

Jack FAQ
Are fields private? Accessible only to methods? Or, if you have an object, can you do
obj.field from anywhere?
Can't find a good FAQ on their web :(

When python pip Spoils the Party
Your old version of pip tells you :
You should consider upgrading via the 'python -m pip install --upgrade pip' command.
You should consider upgrading via the 'python -m pip install --upgrade pip' command.
Then, when you try :
$ python -m pip install --upgrade pip
/usr/bin/python: No module named pip
Thank you Guido!
Fortunately, googling got me
$ pip install -U pip
threw out a tonne of errors about permissions (this is Cygwin), but seems to be working okay..
$ pip --version makes me happy
