Following on from previous posts on SFX electronics: Here’s some data and discussion on reducing artefacts like flickering if using low-frequency PWM LED lighting on-camera.

The best laid plans of mice and men… Extremely tight deadlines for pre-production mean there’s no time to fab+assembly (given that a revision to first fabs might be needed), so time for plan B: a much simpler push-button wired solution, no MCU etc.

Here’s a bird’s eye view of some git topics.

I’m talking to a film producer friend about a make-up prosthesis that includes small lights that need to be remote-controlled.

There’s lots of documentation and chat on the web about OpenSCAD.

This is a collection of notes on change ringing.

I’ve experimented with method design at various times and place notation is a very useful tool, but it’s lacking in some situations.

In which your hopeful protagonist describes Million Point Sculptures, and a highly interactive exploration tool written in Metal.

This helper is installable with SPM, see GitHub repo I’ve been using the Swift Testing framework more.

The orth concept in 2D geometry and graphics is where, given some vector, we find a vector (line) that is at right angles to the original.

I want to mention the concept of walkabout and then go for a meander with the ohmaps idea.

I introduced ohmaps in parts 1 and 2 and looked at some simpler examples.

I used JLCPCB to fabricate my cap-fun circuit (see part 1).

I’ve been meaning to look into PCB fabrication forever, and it’s time, baby.

Below I list my amateur radio hardware, it doesn’t represent a single rig!

A recent news story was about doctors not knowing the basics of Bayes’ theorem: they were asked a basic question about false results on a disease test.

I’ve exhibited at Colony of Artists several times, a vibrant art festival at Abbeyhill Colonies in Edinburgh.

These are notes from a workshop I gave on Snare technique for Beltane 2021 (Acropolyptic).

Sometimes I do some GLSL or similar: much graphics and geometry.

I’ve been doing 3D printing for over five years.

I took the new Swift Testing framework out for a spin and used it seriously on a small project.

If you have various nests of cables around the place you’re not unusual (USB anyone?).

In recent years there seems to have been a shift in interviews: less pairing exercises and more home coding tasks / projects.

Currying.

Here’s something a lot of devs would like to hear: We’re doing a new project from scratch, you’re in the hot seat.

This simple guide to jdupes is split into traffic light sections 🚦 based on the danger of the commands.

After seeing my post on ChatGPT dazzle, a friend asked what the code for that exact problem would look like if I rewrote it in a better way.

I’ve long known about the power of computer visualisation to dazzle and distract, to give cover to bad or poorly supported ideas.

Meta-content time!

I’m a big fan of Flour Water Salt Yeast, Ken Forkish’s epic book on fancy bread1.

Here’s a few details about the weird clocks in the previous post The Lost Clock Emporium.

I can’t remember exactly how I ended up at the Lost Clock Emporium.

If you’re working with image processing and discrete Fourier transforms (frequency analysis/filtering)1 you need test images, and possibly even videos.

More on Ohmaps: component failure battles, limitations, ambiguity… Disclaimer: I am not an electrician.

Occasionally there’s a lovely moment when I’m working on a problem and I realise I’m also looking at some other thing that seems completely unrelated.

Introducing the simplex generator for higher dimension pascal/combinatorics and looking at the bigger picture: exhaustive function composition.

This is the first of a few notes about combinatorics and probability.
