In all honesty, the fun is in programming them, not using them... I have one, but if I could find an emulator platform I'd be happy to forget it in a drawer. I don't get a lot of of opportunities otherwise to do minimalist embedde

I'm playing with a related problem in my spare time - braille character-based color graphics; while we have enough precision for sharp edges, the fundamental issues with color are the still the same: if we begin with a supersampling pa

As doctors often do in clinical patient records, of course. (To be fair, the article also looks like care team-to-patient messages, so I'm sure there's some "happy fall!" messages in there.)

They are an ADHD person. I don’t think we’re at the point in history any more where we leave people to deal with it alone - as with other chronic conditions like depression, sleep apnea, anxiety, obesity, and heart disease, where there ar

+1 to this, but not necessarily in response to your question - but so that you can stay on top of all the errands that build up over the course of your life, and that materially benefit you! The sense of security from that has notably imp

After-school tech club idea: instead of just handing kids an Arduino, tell them to get their purloined vapes out of their pockets and hack 'em till you get JTAG or semixosting working.

Another technique (or consideration?) that deserves attention is how to get output from notebook engines (e.g. Quarto) to play well with your existing plain text website... while Quarto does a decent job of plain text websites, it does the

As someone who's wrangled IT in college libraries before, that's slightly unfair - they do have a Kensington lock for the keyboard. It's locking up the rest of the cables that'll be the issue, as well as a preference f

When you're not plowing money into putting AI everywhere, it's easier to be cheaper than Adobe I guess... (For what it's worth, the iWorks apps – Pages/Keynote/Numbers are free and bundled with macOS.)

Also: they've dealt with Google for default search engine deals before even through the early Android/iPhone competition days (and for early iPhone Weather, Stocks, etc.) It's a familiar enough dynamic.

Well, Bessent. Somehow I don’t see Trump reasoning like that.

“Wow, we totally didn’t know we had everything accessible on Shodan! We totally hope that no federal entities exploited this (fake tears), but I guess we can’t tell anyway! It’s not as if they found out about it from us :(”

I think I'm a little sleep-deprived: I briefly thought that this was going to be about pointers to peek/poke to. And then I remembered that AmigaOS relies heavily on handles/jump tables...

Sheer incompetence. I hope (probably in vain) that police departments and local governments become more savvy technical evaluators of fancy tech solutions. There was a huge fracas re: ShotSpotter in my town, where both the municipality&#x27

I'll admit that I'm tickled pink by the idea of a coding agent recreating itself. Are we at a point where agents can significantly and autonomously improve themselves?

It's sad how we got from the promise of world models, to models that alter reality.

It would be fun to revive the “long form ANSI art” format for a personal website. And you wouldn’t have to worry about mobile vs desktop views, too!

From an archival perspective... it's sad to be able to search the filelists for software that's probably lost to history. For example, I've been trying to track down a (working) copy of SAS for DOS since forever. Even softwar
