A beautiful and silly medley of different games, mashed up together with with the sound and art of Half-Life 2. All the while parodying the medium and games. It is so loaded with in-jokes and niece jabs that I actually had to watch it twice to spot even more details.
One day projects: Plane Radar
I love simple projects, especially ones that can be completed in a day or afternoon. It is great if all required tools are stowed away directly. Today, I want to show you a project that I recently completed as a gift. The ESP32 Plane Radar by MatixYo is a small ESP32-C3 Super Mini microcontroller combined with a 1.28-inch round GC9A01display. To complete this project, I just had to solder the parts together, print the case, assemble the parts, and flash the binary. The documentation is plenty detailed for such a small project and easy to follow. The printed case fits perfectly, so there’s nothing else to do (except be a little bit more careful while pressing the screen into the case).
WeiterlesenHow to Make Music Like BOARDS OF CANADA
Hobo is this one channel I subscribed to that didn’t post anything for four years and then dropped this banger on how to make Boards of Canada music… really nice video
Guess this is all to promote the new album.
I have switched jobs, so the frequency of my posts will decrease.
As if there was a frequency to begin with..! Anyway, I tidied some things up today and wanted to share the results of my recent job hunt. To do this, I tracked the status and stages of every application and created a Sankey diagram. I’m happy with the outcome, and when I talk to someone about my search for a new position, I can show the result directly here. To get to where I am now, I had to make some tough decisions and turn down some offers. I’m still grateful for these, and I underestimated the network effect. Now, after two months in my new job, I can say that I’m very happy with my choice. I’ve found a really interesting field to work in, with great challenges ahead.
Building a lowprofile-numpad (lp-np)
Last year, some friends and I visited Mechanicon, the largest keyboard convention in Europe. Here, enthusiasts can present their creations and vendors can offer their items, with a prize raffle concluding the event. Sadly (or perhaps luckily, given that I didn’t need something) I didn’t win anything, however I did manage to pick up some low-profile switches from the trade corner. Once I had some switches in hand, I knew what I wanted to do: create my own PCB and keyboard. A numpad, to be precise. Since I have time to design my PCB and learn new things, how hard could it be?
WeiterlesenDouble-Slit Experiment simulation
I wanted to play around a little bit with a Double-Slit Experiment simulation. To speed things up I used the provided GitHub kickstart a project with AI and I was surprised by the result. The bot created a first PR after some brief initial prompt, linked down below. For me the only task was to review and approve the commit to the project. The most interesting feature I discovered was the addition of rendered images of the resulting webpage. The repo can be found here.
WeiterlesenOnelinecookbook
I have a cookbook. It is just the bare ingredients and temperature. The steps to cook I can recall from memory, but the ratio and temperature is a different topic. I had the vision to create something interactive and web based and even contemplated if I should register a domain. But I can see that this thing will have no user base. So I resorted to LaTeX and created a PDF. This will hopefully help me to not mix up the amount of salt next time.
You can find the source on my Github.
And if someone asks: The faucet is just a reminder that I have to wash the rice or lentils before further processing.
Musik: Weval – Someday
Reddit conversation about this video six years ago:
I’m speechless, it flows so nicely and so satisfying, can’t imagine how many days-weeks were put into this either. It seems like all that had to be done by hand. Correct me if there is some other technique to do something like this I don’t know about… Very interested! [Deleted, six years ago]
I mean, AI could certainly help finding pictures that follow strict rules and putting them together. It removes nothing to the feat in my mind though [KnowNothing_JonSnoo, six years ago]
I can’t imagine the work needed to film and edit this videoclip

Adding USB to things
USB-C power for my home exercise machine. Not the best wiring but now I can use USB for power.
meh.sh
alias meh='for f in *; do printf "mv \"%s\" \"%s\"\n" "$f" "$f"; done > meh.sh; printf "rm meh.sh\n" >> meh.sh'
for f in *; do … done | Loops over every file in the current directory (excluding dot‑files). |
printf "mv \"%s\" \"%s\"\n" "$f" "$f" | Prints a quoted mv command that moves the file to itself |
> meh.sh | Redirects the first set of printed lines into a new file called meh.sh. |
printf "rm meh.sh\n" >> meh.sh | Appends a final line that removes meh.sh. |
; bash meh.sh to the aliasSometimes I have to do a mass rename and this combines the plan creation task in one command, I edit the result file and after execution all is cleaned up.
In other words this creates a todo list as bash file which I can edit to perform the actions I want to do.
Update:
Since I moved to fish shell, here is a fish function, to be put in ~/.config/fish/functions/
function meh
for f in *
printf "mv \"%s\" \"%s\"\n" "$f" "$f"
end > meh.sh
printf "rm meh.sh\n" >> meh.sh
end
