I totally understand why one might want to buy "genuine Arduino" parts to support the company doing the work to shape that hardware/software ecosystem, but is there a point at which it's reasonable to acknowledge that th

There's a couple of sites out there that do a similar "fill out our template and get a .ttf of your handwriting" thing, like Calligraphr[0] and Fontifier[1]. The concept of using a typeface for Parkinson's awareness and

So? As any corporate sack-chortler worth their salt will eagerly tell you, to seek rent is not only their prerogative but their moral duty.

I didn't realize The Wayback Machine had so much YouTube content from the early days. Really interesting going back and seeing what was on the front page on some random day in 2006. Looking at what people were uploading and what people

Worth noting that the article is from 2013. I'd definitely heard of Coolmath. It was really popular when I was in elementary school, and I imagine a huge proportion of their hits come from kids during school hours. The reason it does s

Same premise as the scooter, i.e. a company litters the sidewalks with dangerous toys and says "make sure you wear a helmet, have fun!", except pogo sticks are perhaps even more injury-prone.

Right? It's blowing my mind that it's possible to pre-approve PayPal payments without knowing how much you're going to be billed. The system should not allow users to hand a blank check to a retailer.

The big red "LIVE HELP" button on the left flashes before disappearing then animating back in from the left of the screen. Likewise, the counting-up animation of the number of vehicles available lags halfway through, maybe because

I thought I was getting stuck in insert mode, and I got fairly frustrated before realizing my Vim keybindings browser extension was grabbing ESC and keeping it from this weird browser-Vim. We brought this abomination on ourselves.

I remember writing a timer-based switch debouncing routine for my microcontrollers class in undergrad. Too bad people have to resort to homebrew hacks like this to fix their $1500 laptops.

Huh... got halfway down the article before realizing having this shit on my screen at work wasn't a great look.

The slide in the article has the same text, but is a recreation of the original (The Calibri typeface used wasn't part of PowerPoint until 2007). The original slide can be seen in the full report linked in the article: https:/&#x

At my workplace we use Skype for Business. I often get "IM?" or "OK to IM?" Starting the conversation that way requires me to greet them and request that they continue. Why ask if it's OK to IM, if you're using

Cute; I remember writing something like this in school that would display semester progress as a percentage out to a few decimal places so you could watch it tick up during a particularly boring class. Bug: you're not displaying the mi

Main difference I see is that Popcorn Time tries to replicate the complete Netflix experience, i.e. displays a catalog of movies and shows you can watch. This thing is just a web torrent client that knows how to download videos in order and

My machine was $1500 in 2014, I'm fortunate enough to pay $60 for gigabit, and I tend to stick to one or two games, maybe spend $100 a year on new titles. Only a money pit if you want it to be.

I really like cVim[0] for this. Think there's a couple of extensions for Firefox that accomplish the same thing. [0] https://github.com/1995eaton/chromium-vim

I think it's a nice-to-have and not a need-to-have. This is a super basic example, but I had a phone-screen question that was "reverse the order of the words in this C array in-place without allocating more memory." I found o
