I really want that first large image as a poster, even though part of me flinches every time I read it and see "dichotomy" as one of three items...

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YlQT4ptwLKs might be interesting - it's been a while since I watched it, but IIRC this video covers a variety of ultrasonic infusion experiments. According to the autogenerated timeline

See, I like the peer-to-peer idea, but if you're going to be centralized anyway (via the service), why not have your own sourcing resources as well? Team up with waymo or whatever self-driving taxi services are around, rent out a smal

There are a lot of options out there, but from what I understand most of the common FPV controllers you'll see around will work as a HID when connected to a computer over USB. I personally have a Team BlackSheep Tango 2 - though I have

One of my "favorite" macos interface decisions - having the Refresh and Settings menu options at the bottom of the Wifi dropdown list - so it's a constantly moving target as you're waiting for a certain network to be see

So GameStop bought ThinkGeek, killed ThinkGeek, and is now trying to become a worse ThinkGeek. That's...upsetting.

An addition could be a "bounty program" - let donors choose what features to "boost" (prioritize development on). That gives donors a tangible benefit and a feeling of community / ownership, as they can help guide

Need to look at the site more in general to see if it's for me, but just a note - https://www.lowercase.app/pricing/ still references the subscription model.

Disabling the touch screen for cleaning is amazing - I've long desired a simple switch or button that would do that, for both touchscreens and keyboards.

Not sure if this was added or edited later, but the linked article clarifies: ROCK 5 ITX Power over Ethernet (PoE) Here we can see that the PoE module is not soldered in and connects using 8 pins which is quite nice. If you choose to power

I saw this technique described as "parking [with your car] facing downhill" on HN sometime in the past year. I haven't had much of a chance to implement it, but always good to hear more support for the concept.

Always love a good Peter Watts reference, though this one makes me want to go back and read Blindsight again as I can't remember the reference... As his website says though, my "will to live [has been] getting too strong" la

Yup, skip all sponsored and ad content. I do the same on Amazon and ebay - even when the advertised product is _exactly_ what I want, and the best price available, I refuse to purchase from a sponsored listing.

That was an amazingly relevant link - thank you! Unfortunately the machine I'm dealing with isn't on any of those pages that I saw, though I'm going to go through again looking for different keywords... I'm afraid this m

As others have said, great write-up. Seeing as this post might draw some useful attention, I'm going to piggyback and ask - does anyone have any resources for finding manuals for arcade machines? Specifically I'm working with a 20

+1 for this link - lets you easily click around to see what different places will experience. In my case, at home the (total) eclipse will last ~2:37, but at my office it'll last ~3:41.

I think a main reason for this is that you can have a "good enough" working mental model of a process, that holds up to your typical use cases and even moderate scrutiny. It's often only once you run into a case where your m

Reminds me of default passwords on wifi routers a decade ago - ATT especially had a very identifiable SSID format (ATT###), and a default 10-digit password. That leaves you with (9,999,999,999 + 1 =) 10 billion[1] passwords possible, which

One of my favorite examples is LCD screens on gas pumps - yelling at you about various deals in the store, as you're standing there _giving them money for the fuel you're pumping_. Some at least have a mute button...

That sounds like an interface feature found on "smart" devices - I'm only familiar with TP-Link Kasa switches, but I think I remember their app UI having a similar feature where a color icon had multiple states, the most &quo

As plenty of others have said - nope, dissaving is very uncommon word. As a native American English speaker, I don't recall ever seeing it either. One clue for future reference - the linked article had to clarify the meaning of the wo
