I appreciate the autopilot effort of comma, but if this isn't hacking in the most classic sense of the word I don't know what is.
> Now, I'm just not sure how would one simulate a running fan with a picture.
I don't think it's necessary for this app. This is simulating what the camera sees, not what our eyes can see.
In any case, the ritual is to run it every odd day or so just before leaving for work so the mental burden is low.
Not unusual, but you used them with taste and restraint, like the rest of your layout and animations. That's something that HN comments like, I think. Notice the distinct lack of "OMG some fancy presentation trick ! Litteraly unviewable!" comments that often happens when an unusual layout is presented (and often with reason; but sometime to a fault).
I guess the main praise your page UI is that it looks, well, like a page. But augmented I guess ?
Personnally I really like the way you used a grid to separate the content from the nav. I like that you used both the left sidebar for nav and for the header number (re-using the same space for multiple purpose feels elegant, because those purpose are secondary to the content, if that makes sense). And I like that the grid anchors your eyes by fencing the different chapters along with the nav. (and now that I mention it, it feels weird that the headings are outside their chapters, but it didn't felt like that upon first reading).
> I always think of my Roomba in this kind of situation, namely when one tries to imagine a future where tech works outside of the computer. Basically my little vacuum robot mostly sits idling in the corner because... a basic broom or a normal vacuum cleaner is radically more efficient, even if it means I have to do so myself.
For me the whole value of a robot vacuum is that... I don't vacuum, the robot does, and when it does so it when I'm not at home. Reduce the dust periodically by 75% so that it's neater; I'll do a deep clean every few month or so.
(maybe what you're saying is that the cost of vacuuming for you is low enough that it's similar to launching the robot vacuum, in that case I understand you !)
The message boards I participated when I was a young teenager were mostly focused on a specific topic (a specific videogame or series of videogame, or a specific genre), with some off-topics board on the side. They were contained communities; village-like if you will. If you don't like one you could hop on another website that had another set of members, customs, and rules.
(yes, you can sort-of see that small village feel with some Discord group or subreddit; but back then the media were controlled by an admin, not a centralized for-profit group)
Contrast this with today's infinite feed were everyone could potentially reach anyone, all curated by The Algorithm(tm) with a vague notion of "friend" or "subscriber".
I was thinking of something like a sugar dispenseur (turn the container to fill a volume, and this volume becomes you serving), but your solution is way more economical and space efficient.
In a parrallel universe, I am still be working in that domain (I was in Silvestro Micera's lab (he did similar kind of feedback for the hand) for my Master's thesis - also a long time ago; it didn't go so well due to an expectation mismatch from both myself and my supervisor)(I now work as a software engineer... pay and oppotunities are better).
If I understand correctly (I only skimmed your paper), the method you used is to take a muscle, cut it in two lengthwise, use those as a pair of muscle to graft, then put two nerves close to it and pray for re-inervation. Then you use EMG as a basis for your signals.
- Help my brush up my EMG knowledge: what's the tradeoff in choosing the muscle ? For a human case such as the one provided in the link, do you have the same signal quality choosing a smaller or bigger muscle ?
- I assume you're using intramuscular EMG (you're doing surgery anyway, so you might as well put some electrodes). How does this behave over time ? I had some experience in brain-computer interface, and I know scar tissues and the like is a real issue that can come up over time.
Note that HTMX is supposed to be Intercooler 2.0, which is itself using jQuery https://intercoolerjs.org/ .
The Resident Evil IP is still alive and kicking though (with the latest installment trailered during the game awards a few weeks ago).
(I somehow though of the videogame Factorio and of that thing called Labview, but I cannot form a coherent thought about it)
I don't understand: doesn't defeat the purpose of a volumetric display (seeing what is displayed from multiple point of view) ?

(for those who don't get it: Tetsuya Nomura is a director at Squarenix and known (amongst other) for its Kingdom Heart series who ends up with word salad title such as "Kingdom Hearts HD 2.8 Final Chapter Prologue" or "Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days")

Look at the pictures from 3AM onwards on the 12 of November: you'll have a nice overview of how the aurora looked like from Switzerland (it's a time sensitive app and they certainly don't keep the pictures forever).
What's more is that you cannot release a Tetris game if you follow the exact gameplay specification the Tetris Company mandates. And those specification prevent a whole range of gameplay, leading to stagnating game design and the impossibility to play some higher difficulty style of Tetris.
It's as if the First Person Company LLC mandated a Halo style floating jump with regenerating shield. There would be no classic Quake and the Doom revival series (2016, 2020, 2025) wouldn't be able to center its gameplay on agression (or at least, it would feel very weird).
