Yeah, same here. In fact, I do this very often and as soon as I get on or off a bus. Don't know if I started this as a conscious thing or not, but now it's completely automatic. Once I slapped my pockets after leaving a bus and fe

It's a funky title, I agree on that. The article and method described though is interesting and has merit on being quite useful for some. AO does have some interesting content, in which they highlight obscure things, many of which tick

Love this way to "hack" how the human mind tends to optimize itself, much like how you can draw things upside down (the object, not yourself) to bypass the way the mind "knows" how things are supposed to look, instead ho

Holy smokes - the second one was unnerving to say the least!

Indeed. Had my eyes on this for a long time until release, then just around those days had too much to do and missed out on it completely. All sold out. :(

A good and motivational project imo can be to buy a simple sensor board for the Arduino, and write a driver yourself for it (even if drivers exist). Pick a simple sensor - some will require you to do all kinds of hoops and loops, but others

Must say your comment sounds quite poetic to me. Sorry for OT/meta.

Meta: interestingly enough, the HN submit changed the asterisk to an u in the title :). This is Oklahomas attempt to lure Tesla/Musk to build the Cybertruck gigafactory there. While not interesting by itself, it's interesting on a

Like a personal log, and it reduces the friction to add a small entry by not having to switch to a file and write, or add the datetime. I just go about and type something like > ttag starting to work at frontend X for customer Y

yeah, I include timestamp not only in easy human readable format, but also in epoch timestamp, so it's easier to calculate time diffs between entries.

There are many like it, but this is a quite simple application. Useful tool. Use case: you want to copy files/folders from a host to another, but you don't want to start off with googling (again) the syntax for scp/rsync, or

Patents are granted, then if challenged, can be invalidated in court. It should be the other way around, they shouldn't be granted in the first case. Not all can handle being taken to court for a claimed patent infringement of a crappy

I'm happy Musk _is_ obsessed. The world would be a worse off place without SpaceX and Tesla, who both are what they are to a large extent because of him.

This was primarily in a lighting solution, and it wasn't the only problem with that early hw. We noticed lights not coming back online after a firmware update without a power cycle. Since it was very early hw, IIRC it didn't have

The watchdog is a nice feature to have a borked system reboot, lifesaver in the field if feces hits the fan. What's less fun is if there is too little protection against electrostatic fields/EMI on the JTAG clock pin. On the small

(Don't mean this to sound negative) I guess you make use of what you have, but if you are at the level of doing smd reflow, there are significantly better tools at a low cost (hobbyist-level too). For smd rework I'd say better to
