Chris Gammell (of Contextual Electronics) and Jeri Ellsworth (of Technical Illusions) held a really neat 555 timer contest a few years ago. You can see some of the results here: http://makezine.com/2011/04/21/

The energy that idle chargers use up is negligible, and even then, it's not as if you can just turn that into computational power. You'd still need to consume (significantly) more energy to mine.

Like many other Amazon products, it's likely to get people into the Amazon ecosystem. You need to install the Amazon app to read prices and they can upsell their Fire devices in-store. Considering how they went for a high-end Barnes an

I would say part of this can be chalked up to a cultural difference. Germans and Japanese are risk-averse (as a generalization) and don't like risky entrepreneurial ventures. You want to take a nice business plan to a bank for debt fin

This looks great- just ordered my copy. I'm a huge bunnie fanboy, though. :) Looks really helpful for bridging the gap people face in going from design to manufacture in electronics.

I think that's true for everyone. I've found that working my way into an existing codebase involves multiple passes, and each time I get a bit more immersed in the code and my assumptions change. It's also good to write docum

I've been thinking about buying a light therapy box[0] and adding an esp8266 or similar to connect it to my home network. I could position it above my bed and have my phone's alarm trip it on. It would be interesting to see if it

The hobbyist community has been switching over to KiCAD, to the point where I believe KiCAD has a significant majority over Eagle in OSHPark orders. A lot of people switched with the new Eagle licensing model, which they put on hold due to

This is Olimex's blog, and they design and sell dev boards, so it makes some kind of sense to leave the part that you have full control over to the end, I suppose.

I remember opening up the binary in IDA and patching out all the phoning home, allowing me to tinker with it as I pleased. I then patched out all the key checking and hooked it back online, only to realize in horror that all the inputs were

ARM isn't open sourcing anything anytime soon. Take a look at OpenRISC and RISC-V. They're aiming at a fully open source SoC implementation in silicon. http://openrisc.io/ http://riscv.org/

CS:GO is a terribly optimized game (a hack of the L4D2 engine ported from Xbox to PC!), and requires 300 in-game fps in the Source engine for competitive play. 300 fps is the sweet spot for no mouse acceleration and smooth mouse movements,

Awesome work! Looks like there's a great community growing around the esp8266. I'll need to check it out myself sometime.

The cynic in me says because they have the brand name and they can be stingy. The reality is likely that they are conveying their values through the investment terms. They want startups to be lean, fast, and high growth. Money makes you laz

I agree that caffeine powder isn't worth buying because it tends to come in large sizes and is hard to measure out. I'd recommend caffeine pills/tablets, though. Much easier than brewing some coffee or tea, and you can manage

I would pay a significant amount of money for pentadactyl + Tree Style Tabs that just worked, without bugs. It's a significant part of my workflow, and I'm not sure if either will survive XUL deprecation. :(

In vim, j and k will only move the cursor between lines that exist, and the screen will follow the cursor. You can scroll the screen past the end of the file using ctrl+e and ctrl+y, but it's annoying.
