This is a very interesting reference/jupyter NB/historiography someone put together about deciphering Khipu, the cord-based numbering system/ancient Excel from the Inca's.
"Welcome to The Khipu Field Guide - Travel back in time to the Inkan empire of the 14th through 16th century. Explore how the Inkas used cloth to communicate and record commitments. Journey with me, as I work with other khipu scholars, to decipher the enigma behind a knotted mop of camelid yarn."
There is some statistical analysis here but part of my hopes in posting on HN is perhaps someone here might get nerdsniped by it.
As far as I know, it's the opposite (using Skia to render). Flutter for the web is a second-class citizen, whereas for mobile apps, it's quite productive.
Super cool demo. The potential for "contextual search engines" to live up to what I really wanted from Google Glass a decade ago is exciting.
Never tried the later enterprise Google Glass, but it always seemed generally to be more of a smart watch with a prism strapped to your face than a future-tech(tm) assistant strapped to your face.
Can you elaborate why we're living in the era of Textual? Genuinely. It seems like a pretty nifty library but I'm not sure it transcends to killer library territory. Thanks!
I stopped using phones all together since they are nothing but sources of stress, annoyance and frustration. Quality of life improved by a lot. People actually understand and my business is doing well.
I'm pretty sure he only makes his past twitch streams available to subscribers. It's weird they are available on Youtube, maybe he doesn't know that's something he can change.
Not sure about his more recent content but he used to have a policy that the VODs could be uploaded in full as long as they were uncut and not modified. If you go watch some older VODs he says so at the beginning.
I was recently messing around with a very small eink display (and used it to display HN posts somewhat similar in concept to you). Out of curiosity, what display is that/where did you source it from?
It's a 13.3" 1600x1200 panel made by E Ink, from the Carta product line also used in Kindles et all, the ED133UT2. I bought it via Waveshare together with a little driver board featuring the ITE IT8951 controller: https://www.waveshare.com/product/displays/e-paper/epaper-1/...
The ED133UT2 is also available from E Ink directly and from other shops, but I haven't seen a significantly better price. There are also some other boards with the same controller around. An alternative to using the IT8951 is to hook the display up to an MCU with an adapter board for the flex cable directly and then drive the waveforms from the MCU, this is more complicated however and a little controller talking SPI is quite nice to have.
There's also a 10.3" with an even higher resolution that is very nice for various applications.
