ESPHome is a versatile system for controlling microcontrollers using simple yet powerful configuration files, allowing for remote control through Home Automation systems. Users can easily get started from Home Assistant with ready-made projects like migrating from Tasmota. The system supports a wide range of microcontrollers and peripherals, along with various network hardware and protocols. Surprisingly, […]
The content discusses a program, P, that can determine whether infinite looping behavior will occur when fed suitable data. If looping is detected, P prints ‘Bad!’ indicating a problem, and if not, it prints ‘Good.’ However, a procedure, Q, is introduced that causes logical paradox by using P’s predictions. Q asks P how A will […]
jsfxr is an online tool that allows users to create 8-bit sound effects and generate retro-style sounds with just a web browser. It is a JavaScript version of the original sfxr created by DrPetter. Users can also incorporate jsfxr as a JavaScript library for playing and rendering sound effects in their games. Developed in 2011 […]

The author explores the idea of creating a CNC bottle plotter to directly label wine bottles without paper labels. The process involved multiple iterations, learning from mistakes, and adapting the design to make it simple, cheap, and effective. The author shares their journey of trial and error, from mechanical configurations to electronic components, ultimately achieving […]
American flag sort is an efficient variant of radix sort that categorizes items into buckets. It counts the number of items in each bucket, determines their starting position in the array, and strategically rearranges items. The method is named after the Dutch national flag problem and is ideal for sorting bytes in 256 buckets. It […]
The content discusses creating realistic flow patterns in games, focusing on simulating Jupiter-like gas giants. Using various techniques like color cycling, frame-by-frame animation, and texture scrolling, the author highlights the challenges and solutions for simulating fluid motion in real-time. They explore generating velocity fields in Substance Designer to replicate cyclones, jets, and storms, crucial elements […]
The author of this web content introduces a series about building a complete Django project starting with a single file, challenging the traditional complexity associated with Django compared to other frameworks like Flask. By starting from the ground up and adding components as needed, the author aims to provide a clear understanding of each part […]
