I thought this was about UC Berkeley's TinyOS: https://github.com/tinyos/tinyos-main This was a big deal in some academic circles in the early 2000s

Maybe make them look like rocks or brick walls?

If "i" wasn't called "imaginary" I don't know if anyone would find it weird when it appeared in physics. In many ways i is as weird as negative numbers, irrational numbers, and tra…

Great video, except for a few wrong details that really get to me... - The pixels in an LCD aren't little light bulbs. They are little lamp shades. (The pixels in an OLED display a…

Argh I was making some changes and messed things up. Sorry about that.

This is a library for use in Streamlit (which is a Python framework for data apps), and Streamlit already supports Vega-Lite behind the scene. So I'm just riding on their Vega-Lite…

Check out the example app, linked in the README. I meant for that to be a replacement for the README, since it actually lets you interact with the plots. But I'll add a picture to …

Oh hey, fancy seeing this here! I'm the author I'll try to answer questions below.

I just have alternate layouts depending on what I'm doing. English, programming, and some bits of Portuguese = US keyboard + compose key Portuguese = US-intl (but in mine, all the …

Hey, Streamlit co-founder here. This should just work out of the box in Streamlit: caption = st.text_input("Meme subject or caption") if caption: # do search here If that doesn't w…

Chrome on Linux here. Google Meet blurs my background just fine.

Or perhaps the opposite could happen: as more and more people start carrying devices that have access to the internet via cellular connection, airports could start providing Wi-Fi …

Actually, Observable is not JavaScript: https://observablehq.com/@observablehq/observables-not-javas... I think it's an amazing piece of technology, hosting some of the best intera…

ttymidi http://www.varal.org/ttymidi/ Written around 2004 to allow me to make custom MIDI devices with Arduinos. NiftyPlayer http://www.varal.org/niftyplayer/ Made in 2000ish to pl…

There's actually a funny story here, and one day we'll tell it in more detail. TDLR: it's a coincidence / slightly obvious given our names. We discovered the similarity on the day …

What always bugged me about QR codes is that they're not human-readable. I'd love if there were a standard where you'd simply have a human-readable URL plus some markers at the sta…

Genius. Will buy.

Hey, Streamlit co-founder here! (I'm otherwise not related to this article, btw. Just saw it on HN. Super cool!) If I understand correctly you're trying to extend Streamlit in some…

Hi bobosha It depends on how you would define "production scale". If you're talking about hosting a publicly accessible Streamlit app on the internet, it's definitely possible but …

Not at the moment. There are a few reasons for this, but perhaps the most fundamental one is that Streamlit starts a blocking server -- so even if you could run it inside Jupyter i…

Hi J0e1, I'm one of the founders of Streamlit. Regarding extensibility, we totally agree: over time, many people are going to want to write their own custom widgets. Which is why w…

Hey, another co-founder of Streamlit here. Let us know how this works out for your team! And for the nerdier people on your team, they may appreciate our post in Towards Data Scien…

Oh interesting. I did not know it used GCC. It feels super snappy, nonetheless. Last time I tried it was a couple of months ago. I don't recall what it was missing, but it was some…

Clear Linux is blazing fast (compiled with Intel compilers), and supposedly has a strong security model -- but it also has an extremely limited package selection. To the point that…

I'm not convinced of the "always rewrite" thing, but what you're talking about would be solved by writing tests when you fix a bug.
