Tragic story. But not hacker news.
Re:Ask HN: Does anyone here have an art degree?

I moved to an out of state university and began a 4 year comp-Sci program. Flunked out in year two due to partying. Moved back home, enrolled in community college and finished a fast track AA in Graphic Design. Then, a semiconductor company came to our town to recruit technicians. I tried out and aced all the tests. Now I'm a 16 year fab veteran, and I enjoy programming and graphics stuff in my time off. Weird path but I couldn't be happier with the results.
Regarding the impact of my art background on the job: im recognized as the team expert on making charts, visualizations, and documentation. I have been able to improve our processes by applying a clean visual approach to describe and document our work.

In my opinion neon lamps emit the most pleasant colors to look at.
The only sodium lamps I'm familiar with are high pressure sodium, which emit a garrish orange hue.

One of the most illuminating technical books I have ever read. I now grok 2600 and can die happy.

But it's still too thick for charging my wireless earbuds so let's include type D mini... Or was that micro? So much for universal. USB has lost its way.

A one man hardware & software powerhouse. He is an old-school EE in Japan and his personal projects are astounding in breadth and depth.
His SD Card and FFT libraries are classics. His hand wired SMT circuits are works of art.

It's been a while but I believe that's a response from Apache server not ftp.

Sounds like the CHIP guys are desperate for use cases. That LePai amp already plays MP3 off USB and SD card.

My favorite Apple II periodical "Nibble Magazine" had a regular feature called One & Two Liners, neat little type-in BASIC programs. I learned a lot about programming by trying to decode the techniques. Thanks for sharing.

Where do you experience this lag? Graphics? Disk? Io?
Openbsd has always felt turbo fast to me. Easily the tightest Unix experience, in my experience.
