Oh this is cool. I did something similar with a modded Launchpad by programming GOL on it and converting the positions by column and row to octave and degree and then outputting MI…

> That's where I got my first taste of programming - writing a PID controller for a tank turret so I could point the tank's gun using my mouse. Yeah, same here! I had done a couple…

It's easy for me to quickly idolize the authors of books and blogs I have read—yours included (thanks for writing GPP)—and it's often I think I fall into the trap of feeling like I…

Thanks for starting it! I dabbled with Ubuntu, Debian and SUSE in highschool and would occasionally see things from the Arch Wiki when troubleshooting problems. Learned about its p…

The font's designers did create a video and a page explaining their choices if you're interested. I wouldn't necessarily call it haphazard as it seems there was intention behind th…

Make sure to have a QR code reader on hand as you watch this. The video is full of Easter eggs hidden in the dramatizations.
