Building a lowprofile-numpad (lp-np)

Veröffentlicht am von

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?

Double-Slit Experiment simulation

Veröffentlicht am von

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.

Onelinecookbook

Veröffentlicht am von

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.

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

meh.sh

Veröffentlicht am von 
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 … doneLoops 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.shRedirects the first set of printed lines into a new file called meh.sh.
printf "rm meh.sh\n" >> meh.shAppends a final line that removes meh.sh.
Tip – If you want the script to execute immediately after being written, just append ; bash meh.sh to the alias

Sometimes 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

Camino de Santiago

Veröffentlicht am von

Today, I would like to share some of my experiences from my recent trip along the Camino de Santiago. This will not be a full report like I did for the Japan travel, but I’ve captured some clips of the Camino.

I left the video clips largely unedited, with no comments or music added. We hiked in total 18 days and 370km in 85h with 580k steps.

Going to Japan: Tokyo, one more time

Veröffentlicht am von

This is the final part 6 with the last days in Tokyo. Part one from Tokyo, two from Osaka, three from Onomichi, part four from Kinosaki Onsen and part five from Otsu and Nagoya.


We arrived at Tokyo Station late in the evening, and from there it was just one stop to Ueno Station, a major station in Tokyo. This time, we decided not to experiment any more and to select a traditional hotel nearby. The main advantage of this is that the Skyline Express train starts next to Ueno Station. As the name suggests, this train goes directly to Narita Airport, which is some distance away from central Tokyo. With this station nearby, we could ensure frictionless travel with all our luggage back to the airport on Tuesday morning, our last day. On the subject of luggage, our bags had arrived and were waiting for us in the lobby.

Going to Japan: Kyoto, Otsu and Nagoya

Veröffentlicht am von

This is part 5 with Kyoto, Otsu and Nagoya. Part one from Tokyo, two from Osaka, three from Onomichi and part four from Kinosaki Onsen.

As mentioned, we took the Limited Express from Kinosaki Onsen to Kyoto. The main benefit of this train is that it provides a direct connection to Kyoto. With the train card in Japan, you can use most regional trains directly and without reservation, but some trains do require a special reservation. The Limited Express is one such case. So we spent the money to get a little more comfort, as well as a direct connection.
