My M1 is suffering from a bug where there is runaway SSD writes and I have to restart it every few days. I've learned so many coping techniques. I'd never call this the best hardwa…

Sorry for the typo. Updated. I get what you mean but maybe I've gotten used to it. We also added a little sibling library to it for partial hydrating and reconciling that fits our …

We're using the same stack, along with automerge-repo-rs, we haven't needed much in the way of updates, what are you hoping for that doesn't exist? Edit: Typo `autosurgeon-repo-rs`…

Just for kicks I ran `git log | grep "Author: Simon" -C 20 | tail -n 50` ``` commit 53eddd4a0f8786e23f511a653d8d7ffa947ad8db Author: Simon Willison Date: Mon Apr 23 21:24:41 2007 +…

Check out Lavamae. While you're there send them some money. http://lavamae.org/

I bought $50 in prints from you last spring! Everything went very smoothly. Good luck! I own a Taz2, but it's nice to have somebody else handle the printing every once in a while.

I make art installations and UI/UX research. A modern browser is one of the best technical canvases. If you are working on browsers and you turn things off, please always allow me …

It all depends what you're doing. For a weather station you could do very well and have very low power at one reading per minute. HTTP is great for that. Also your approximation is…

I buy stuff from Adafruit because they do good work. They are advocates for approachable and understandable electronics. They work hard at combining art and technology and educatio…

Good question! For some toy weather data, Elasticsearch as the only data store made sense. If I were to add more sensors and features and make this a long term project, I'd likely …

(Hi! I'm the original author!) I'm able to get about 200ms resolution at both ends without any trouble.

Pretty trivial to get a new IP address these days.

Celery does a ton of things that channels doesn't currently do. Celery has a lot of workflow concepts built in (Chains, Chords, etc). Celery also has prioritization, and a fairly r…

Yeah, it's a projector. pre-recorded projection mapping, custom electronics as a triggering mechanism. Automation for the projector and underlying computer. flask-socketio + Chrome…

Yeah, this is the exact right answer. The artists in the crew have the pieces in their portfolio. The techs are free to go into details when needed. For much else of the gig and th…

Well, it's all public now, through various straight forward means like this article, public postings on the website by the owner, etc. This covers most of my NDA. At the time, most…

For those who don't know: He's talking about the in the aforementioned "beach" room, which had a different name, meaning, and story. MrEricSir appears to be one of the top google r…

Thanks. That was what I needed. Hard to know where to start.

As far as the experience goes, one of the things I'd say over and over is that if you noticed my work, I did a bad job. I was building the automation, electronics, mechanics, and h…

OK, so my most memorable moment was The On Call Day From Hell. I've told this story a few times a few different ways, but for this purpose, you could call what we did theatre. Ever…

I'd disagree with your assumption that it wasn't a real society. Maybe it wasn't really secret, maybe it wasn't...something or other; but that was, and for many many people, is, re…

Well, the public part of TLS spanned two Burning Men, and is in the Bay Area. It's not my scene, but I'm sure it happened. --- Alt note: I spent two years at that gig, and much of …

You can always be the (secret) society you want to see.

You mean the experience of running tech for a "secret society" or of my going through the immersive/interactive experiences?

Ahoy! I just stumbled on this. I was the Director of Technology for this set of local bizareness for its last two years. I won't say "I'm happy to answer any questions" because I m…
