Somebody’s not impressed. Thanks for your contribution to the conversation.


I did not get an electrical engineering degree, but I work in that field. I'm not sure what this project does.


A Nintendo Entertainment System has been mounted in the chassis of a toaster for the deliciously absurd aesthetic thereof.


It is somewhat common to refer to the original NES as the "toaster" due to the ZIF cartridge mechanism. This literally makes an NES toaster.


Rather than pushing in the cartridge from the front, you can put the cartridge in like a piece of toast.


I (someone who knew nothing about cryptocurrency trading) followed these instructions and ended up with $3650 AUD in my bank account after all was said and done. Of course, some of you are more likely to put it to better use on the market, but I’m not one to look a gift horse in the mouth.


Thanks for posting this! Our team produced the story, and I also developed the story format and scroll-based visuals.

This required more code for gathering/processing than for the presentational aspects, but I enjoyed learning heaps about satellite imaging and fire front/burn scar visualisation in the process of pulling everything together.

I'm trying to furiously cram as much into my head as possible, as I've run out of time to marathon the movies ahead of tomorrow's cinema trip!


I'd love to get some feedback on this, particularly what you found obvious/intuitive about the experience, and what confused/discouraged you.

For those unfamiliar with the term 'tweetstorm', it's the name given to the practice of posting multiple (numbered) tweets in a linked thread (usually by replying to yourself) to share longer thoughts.

It's a bit of a clunky process, so I've tried to take away some of the discomfort with Ramble On.


We don't write software in a vaccum. When we come up against barriers of language understanding (and this is something EVERYONE will face), we seek help from the community to break through and eventually wield that language more effectively, and thus make better software with it.

The community you're joining will greatly affect how competent you become in their respective language, so anyone who partially bases their language choice on community is being completely logical.


Where's the cancer comparison...

It wouldn't be a Hacker News thread without the top comment being an "Am I the only one...?"


I don't see selfie sticks anywhere in that list.
