I'm all for anything that gets rid of those annoying "Click all of the..." CAPTCHAs.

I'm not sure what's in the workshop, but the list of supported devices in the Google Matter sample code can provide you some ideas for ESP32 device compatibility.

A single LED would be on a different pin, driven by a different protocol, and would likely require a different Matter lighting endpoint sans color and brightness, in addition to the CPU differences (unless you did your own PWM).

I've journeyed across time, and everything appears to be really authentic for this period. I had a website with animated gif icons that looked exactly like yours.

Hi everyone, Andrian from absurd.design here! Previous HN thread https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=21039739

Have you heard about the absurd.design project? This project is maintained by me and my wife. My wife is a creative voice behind this project and I work on the technical side.

So, in comparison to the 2019 thread, I'd like to show you what's new in the most recent HN submission.

The works on absurd.design are grouped into chapters of illustrations. Currently, four completed chapters are available for project members on absurd.design, and one new chapter is in the works. And, while the new chapter is still being worked on, we'd like to introduce you to Chapter 4 - the most recently completed chapter of illustrations!

Chapter 4 is a collection of 30 hand-drawn illustrations that tell stories about everyday emotions, self-transformation, society, human dreams and aspirations. Think of it as thoughts exposed as visual metaphors while the viewer is invited to spark their imagination, take a journey into an absurd, yet beautiful world and find their own story in each illustration. So, if you're looking for expressive illustrations to make your project stand out, please take a look at them - perhaps they'll be just the right fit for your presentations, transactional emails, newsletters, website, apps, or, why not, project status pages?

My wife puts so much love into each and every stroke so that we hope these illustrations can convey this special feeling to you.

Thank you for dedicating these precious minutes of your time to take a look at our project; We really appreciate your interest and I can’t wait to get feedback and suggestions from you.

Apple can make a LOT more money from services or software than selling hardware products, 2x to be accurate.

When used in conjunction with named parameters with default values, it makes it possible to write function signatures that are significantly more readable than those written in Java, and with far less boilerplate.

If you can read any MIDI file, you should seriously consider hosting a twitch broadcast where subscribers may upload their own MIDI files and hear them played live by the floppotron.

That was the year 1971. We still use the almost 100-year-old combustion engine 50 years later. There is a huge problem in the world.

This is showing what the industry’s can produce and I think it great but they never tell us end user costs?

I'm not sure if it counts as burnout, but I've had my share of trying work situations, some of which pushed me into melancholy. Although the following may not apply to everyone, I believe it does in my case. My takeaways: unless it's your own firm, don't get too involved or emotionally immersed in your work; it's usually just a contract of labour for money. Also, I have a tendency to hold out hope that things will turn out okay in the end, even when most people have gone on. It never ends well, and I'm still trying to recognize when a change is necessary...
