TL;DR summary of stories on the internet
The author explains how the 3D illusion works by controlling the curvature of reflecting surfaces. They mention that the glint of light seen by the eye is actually coming from a point in 3D space. Each mirror used in a typical specular hologram has a unique doubly-curved shape to create the illusion without distortion. The […]

This repository, fft-image-experiments, is a collection of visual experiments that involve applying Fourier transforms to different plane-filling curves and patterns. The code is available under the MIT license. To generate images, you can run the “fft_experiments.py” file using Python 3 and the pillow and numpy libraries. Alternatively, you can use the “make” command. You can […]
The Tour de France, known for its grueling challenges, is a major sporting event that attracts millions of fans and generates millions in prize money and sponsorships. This year marks the 110th running of the race, which started as a sales gimmick by French newspaper L’Auto in 1903. The race has since become a booming […]

It boasts several features, including a minimalist CLI implementation, CI/CD integration with tools like golangci-lint, go test, and goreleaser, as well as Dependabot for ensuring up-to-date dependencies. An interesting feature is the CodeQL Analysis specifically designed for Go. To use this […]
Bevy XPBD is a 2D and 3D physics engine built in Rust specifically for Bevy, a data-driven game engine. It utilizes Extended Position Based Dynamics, a newer physics simulation method that offers stable, time step independent, and physically accurate simulations. The engine includes features such as collision detection and response, collision events, gravity and external […]
iVentoy is an enhanced version of the PXE server that allows users to boot and install operating systems on multiple machines simultaneously through the network. Unlike other solutions, iVentoy is incredibly user-friendly, with no complicated configurations required. Simply place the ISO file in the specified location and select PXE boot on the client machine. iVentoy […]
The author reveals a surprising secret in the software engineering profession – engineers hate code, especially code written by others. They prefer working on greenfield projects without existing code to maintain. Microservices have become popular because they allow engineers to pretend that their old code no longer exists. Engineers often turn to Stack Overflow to […]
Organizations are increasingly adopting hybrid and multi-cloud strategies to access the latest compute resources and optimize cost. However, operationalizing AI applications across different platforms can be challenging. NVIDIA offers a consistent, full stack that allows developers to build on a GPU-powered instance and deploy applications on any GPU-powered platform without code changes. The NVIDIA Cloud […]
In a recent study conducted by researchers at the University of Arizona, it was discovered that rock ants follow a systematic meandering pattern when exploring new environments, contrary to the belief that they move in a purely random way. The researchers found that this method of exploration, which combines both systematic movement and randomness, may […]
When working with a solderless breadboard, it can be difficult to know if a part is exceeding its power rating or if its cooling is insufficient until it’s too late. To address this issue, a breadboard was modified with thermochromic paint, which changes color based on temperature. The paint was made by mixing white acrylic […]
