This reminds me of an old project. Explain all the bits that are communicated and computed across all APIs involved, when a user presses a key, and a set of pixels appear on the screen spelling "a".

Did you ever get around to finish that? I'm curious.

Yep, sorry for the repost. I figured that enough time had passed since the last time since it's such an excellent article. ;-)

And right you are. It's great.

Such a great article, true Hacker News material. Does not assume much knowledge about the field, yet still allows for a much deeper understanding of mechanics involved.

Agreed. Brilliant, and as someone who has been looking for accessible (for numerates) ways of learning about these such things I can't thank the poster enough.
