You're not alone, I'm also constantly pixel peeping and disappointed with the UIs of many open source (and closed source!) tools.

Tangentially related, but it's interesting to use airpods in hyper-busy train stations in Japan like Shinjuku station, where you have a huge mass of people, and a large majority of people using bluetooth earbuds of some sort. A train r

Did you read the article? Each demo canvas is interactive and running multiple shaders per frame. They could probably reduce power consumption by having a play button on each demo canvas, or pausing the simulation after a sufficient amount

Speaking of gradients and noise, adding "Interleaved Gradient Noise" to gradients can get rid of the color banding that you'll often see on gradients displayed over a wide area.

The thing to grab is always on the front layer. Seems like an AI could be pretty easily trained to defeat this. Also when you move the claw left and right, it "leans" in the wrong direction.

I know that was the general point of your question, but I'm still curious what you expected the end result to look like. I've been doing some 2D graphics work recently with bezier curves and image clipping, so I did actually want

When you specify the stroke width of 2px and then turn it into a path, are you expecting the outline of the font to expand? Is the 2px stroke centered on the original glyph path, so 1px is "in" in the glyph and 1px is "out&qu

The DK games have used that eye popping animation since at least the SNES Donkey Kong Country games.

I'm a high DPI snob so I haven't used a low res monitor for work in forever, but isn't the entire point of font hinting to make the text more legible at smaller pixel grid sizes? Yes, of course the shapes are more consistent

Such an absolute classic. My brothers and friends and I played this so much when we were kids that we had a notebook written up to overcome the game's "DRM", which required you to find a letter in a particular page/parag

I'm only halfway through but it's refreshing to see such technical articles on HN. Can't claim I'm very knowledgeable in hardware description languages either, but I do light embedded work sometimes and it's really

Yep, I remember a brief period of time where I would play Flash games on the Wii browser, I think there were indeed some that were explicitly made for the Wii browser. Fun times!

Async Rust can be nice, especially when juggling multiple tasks and composing them with timeouts and such. Async in an embedded context is actually really nice, too. You can have high level "send this thing over SPI, receive this data

Yep. People are creating garbage with AI that looks passable at first glance, or maybe acceptable if you have no taste. This is the kind of software we can expect to receive in the next few years.

I have a (WIP) project that transfers audio over ESP-NOW. I haven't touched it in forever, but I remember it did work decently. I had to bring the audio sample rate down to 16kHz though, and it was just sending uncompressed audio. I pr

Oops, I left out the context of "the gemini button in google maps", sorry. It appeared one day and I didn't want to press it while driving and screw up my route. It's supposed to assist you with route-related things, but

I was once driving and knew where I was going, so I decided to press the gemini button to see what it does. I was able to eventually convince it to write me a Rust function that calculates prime numbers, and demanded that it read out the en

I can't tell if this is sarcastic or not, but what exactly is your vision of HN "without politics"? It's very hard to avoid because so many technical things have overlap with politics, and lots of technical decisions hav

While we're at it, their reference board also doesn't have a reset button, it just has one for boot. It's perhaps one of the most inconvenient official dev boards I've ever used in modern times.
