Here's a little more detail on the construction if you're interested: https://youtu.be/eojYicG_Kjs?si=6cBHOUdk0n9hVoUh

Rough estimate: I got the LED panels from AliExpress ( https://www.aliexpress.us/item/2255799924064579.html ), the price fluctuates from around $10-$12 each x 12, so round up to $150 for the lights. They practically give

I built an LED scrolling sign in my basement using the same 8x32 panels as the OP, controlled by the more-than-fast-ish-enough ESP32. I never got around to making a proper video about the construction and installation, but I do have this de

They are the most common type of addressable WS2812 (AKA NeoPixel) LEDs. Type that into Google, choose a library.

I think this title is misleading for a post about your personal experience, without a news article or an announcement. I don't really even understand what you're saying.

Arizona maybe, but I wouldn't say San Francisco is straight lines. I've seen a few of these videos pop up on YouTube. This one I watched recently is full of construction, double-parked trucks, pedestrians, complicated traffic, etc

I couldn't wade through it to figure out what it even is. Too much zazz.

The one that really surprised me for some reason was PCB manufacturing. The Strange Parts YouTube channel has a few tours of Chinese factories, and I guess I pictured that it's just some sort of giant clean room with a long conveyor be

It's just stereo. I don't know how it works, I'm not opticist, but I assume there's some kind of math involved. Or maybe it diminishes the 3D effect but it's still enough to look interesting.

I played around with this when it came out in the beta: https://youtu.be/08hoyiHTxis It took a few steps to get it out of the phone and onto YouTube in a way I could watch it in my VR headset, but the result is kind of nift

I think they claim 5 years. I don't keep track of this stuff very carefully but based on how long I've had them and being on my second round of battery replacements, I'd say I got more like 3-4 years. It's not that big a

I just counted, I have 10. I thought it was 11, and I rounded up. Anyway, the exact math wasn't my point, but that lithium primary batteries are very expensive. Ironically, I just got a price alert that they're down to $46.64, exc

Just as an aside on metadata, I find it really frustrating that I can't just read the statement. There's a MacRumors article about a Reuters article about something Apple told them. I went to the Reuters article, but it still only

It was reproducible at the time they found it, and trivially so: install Grammarly, drag this GIF into Chrome, and it crashes. I understood everything up to the point where they just changed the GIF and moved on without ever telling the Chr

Did they say it was a bad thing? And why the need to throw in autism shaming?

The voice of the battle-weary maintainer comes through clearly in this one. I can't imagine the burden of being responsible for something as widely used as curl. Ok, I can kind of imagine it, or I wouldn't be writing this comment.

I appreciate those pops and bangs, as a reminder of what it means to pump 250kW into a battery I'm sitting on top of. Especially in comparison to the 48kW that supplies my entire house.

It's mentioned at the very bottom of the article, dismissively. (Despite the fact that the FAQ linked to doesn't make it seem nearly as limited as the author of this article wants you to believe)

I found my TV (not purchased with gaming in mind) adds so much latency that even as a non-gamer I found it unusable. A minor gripe; overall the Steam Deck blew me away with its capabilities, ease of use, and attention to detail.

So much effort is put in to coming up with these systems and convincing ourselves that we've got the perfect hiring process, when in the end it's very likely that it doesn't work and is just a kind of ritual that has to exist

A lot of documentation is atrocious, particularly for newer stuff. But I kind of disagree on man pages. At least, when I first encountered Unix, it was on old SunOS machines, and I remember being impressed first that everything was docume

It depends. To make up an example that doesn't depend on any of those things: imagine that I've added a new feature to Hacker News that allows users to display profile pictures next to their comments. Of course, we have built ever
