I remember a time before Ireland set up postcodes (zip codes) for the whole country. If postcode was mandatory field in an e-commerce address form, you couldn't mail stuff from the UK unless it was in Dublin. Dublin had postcodes. I ma

That is very nice! It reminds me of Usman Haque's WiFi Camera project from 2006. That wasn't anywhere near realtime but it did use wasabi-pea cans https://haque.co.uk/work/wifi-camera/ I miss tech art th

That's assuming you have no transferrable skills from one career to the next and that there's a well-mapped career path in existence for a given role. What about new careers that suddenly pop into existence around nascent technolo

You might struggle using microphones if it's very low frequency because most human audio microphones intentionally filter frequencies that are below (and above) human hearing range. Perhaps fixing to he contact mic to the right resonan

There's also a banner offering 3 day free trial. Are you testing which is the most popular time period for the trial?

Isn't that the idea (or perhaps the promise) of languages like R or notebook tools like Jupyter or Collab, which provide a means to ingest, clean, analyse and present your data, then share the code you've used to do that.

It's the same. I can't remember why they have two websites. Here's some earlier HN coverage and discussion of the same topic. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=39469274

I didn't explain it well but I think that's the point, one could do all kinds of visual or audio things, it's one of many multitools for audo-visual media creation. Often these projects need to combine multiple technologies t

Back in the early 2000s there was such poor support from non-Windows for high powered graphics cards, it's no wonder vvvv never moved to other platforms. I worked at a Mac/Linux art studio in that time and we had to keep buying Wi

It's a node-based visual framework, I guess. Around 2006 I worked on a project using VVVV to create sound reactive, generative visuals that tracked a pop singer as he moved on an LED stage. The visuals were displayed on the stage. We h
