I live in an old house without a dishwater. The 5-10 minutes spent doing the dishes are moments of deep thoughts, not dissimilar of the ones under the shower; maybe it’s the water…

A RPi 4 sits near a Teensy 4.1 in a difficult to reach LED installation: its only purpose is to wirelessly re-flash the Teensy firmware in case of updates and for eventual future features. The Teensy is driving ~15k RGBW LEDs.

For the lazy: pick a pixel in the sky to skip to section D (less calculations)…

The UI to post a story is so inconsistent/illogic that it’s difficult to understand if it comes from incompetence or from some hidden scheme.

Thank you! I hired a photographer specialized in jewelry to take a few studio shots of the object, and he made the electronics look precious!

I use the ESP32 in many of my art-projects and it works perfectly: enough memory, compact, cheap and the “fuses” that I use to engrave the edition number and signature. Programming through Arduino works well. LCD driver for ASCII art (there

While I agree with the sentiment (and motivation) the layout (and hence the readability) suffers: the hierarchies are off (for example the gigantic "Colophon" at the end), section titles too big and there is visual noise due to &q

Also a fan here, although I never had the chance to see them live. I bought a tapes (even if I don’t own a tape player) just because of the gorgeous design…! https://masterbootrecord.bandcamp.com

To mitigate your disappointment you could visit the “Keygen Church” by Master Boot Record (a mix of metal, chiptune and ASCII + pixel art): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ynVpatxQERs

Yugop (the website) was such an inspiration: it questioned the way we interact with our devices in a playful way. I can say that it influenced my work and career…!

Not related to the content but to the article: the links to other articles between the paragraphs are extremely distracting.

On the country side you can buy fresh fruits from small unattended shops on the side of the roads: you take a fruit basket and leave the money in a jar. (I only saw this in the Swiss German part, though).

Made me think about the Swiss Railways clock that has the second hand completing the circle in 58.5 seconds; all the clocks on the network then wait for the sync signal from the “master clock". https://en.wikipedia.org/

I just sent back to the store a 42" Samsung LCD TV for two reasons: 1) It didn’t go into sleep and I always had to fiddle with the remote to bring back the desktop image after a wake up (select source, etc). 2) The color (LED lighting?

Recently we built a LED sign for a bar named “Cinque a Zero” like a Campari based cocktail. We used a single Teensy 4.1 + a simple custom board that we designed to drive around 10K RGBW LEDs. Twitter thread with some background: https:&#x2

Affinity photo has too many quirks and (small) glitches for me: one of the most annoying is that ALL tools/inputs reset to default values/state after single use. It also becomes imprecise when working on smaller images (not photos

The illustrations/photos/images are extremely well done. This sort of consistency and “flattening” of the stile is not trivial at all (the author mentioned the absence of color, but the point of view and shading is also consistent

The build quality of the Lightning port is superior, USB-C break much more easily and is susceptible to dust.

Preview is very much part of my daily tools: signing/splitting/editing PDFs and images (even animated GIFs!) etc. The only thing that bothers me slightly is the weird “File” menu: along with some other macOS apps (Textedit for exa

In 2020 we designed a website made of photocopied book pages. It was a poetic project from a teacher to his students: a selection of texts he found worthy to share during the first lockdown. When he approached us with the content assembled

I think that the first picture listed, which should illustrate that close elements are perceived as a group, doesn’t really obtain its intended result: (to me at least) the pink elements are the ones that stand out and tend to form a group.
