NandGame - Build a computer from scratch.

NandGame - Build a computer from scratch.

Source: nandgame.com

An educational puzzle game. Solve a series of tasks where you build increasingly powerful components. Starts with the simplest logical components and ends up with a programmable computer.

Another really cool geek game where you build a whole CPU from individual nands etc. Crazy tedious.

Center Cam Standard Package

Center Cam Standard Package

Source: thecentercam.com

Center Cam Standard Package includes: Center Cam Assembly, Adjustable clip mount, Lens Privacy cover. Center Cam Specs: 1080p Resolution, F2.1 lens, 30 FPS, 65 degree Horizontal Field of View. Compatible with Windows, Mac, Android, and Linux. USB-A/USB-C. Adjustable Clip Mount Specs: Opens up to 2". Unit is 5 Ft. long

This seems like a very good tool! We do so many zoom calls these days, not to mention teaching over zoom. We’re used to the off center eye contact. But I wonder whether people will notice when you use this that you’re looking right at them. Maybe it will make you more persuasive or help you do…

This is a standalone password generator. I think that because it does’t know the email or account name that the password is used with, the risk that the app itself is malware is small… i think… Author says: “z-tokens -- random tokens generation and related tools - GitHub - volution/z-tokens: z-tokens -- random tokens generation and related tools”

This seems like a very nice simple tool to solve a common problem. My only confusion is that there are a bunch of similar tools to do the same thing. Each has its own DSL, written in ruby or some other language, has its own conceptual steucture, and its own bugs. It’s enough to make me decide to just keep doing it by hand. Heres what the author says: “ Prepper is a simple server provisioning tool, built on top of SSHKit.

rails/docked: Running Rails from Docker for easy start to development

Source: github.com

This is not a new thing by a long shot. But thw fact that it is published by dhh is a big deal imo. For me it assures me to some extent that it is “correct” and that it will be maintained.

This is pretty crazy/amazing (to geeks, i guess). I heard a podcast with the author and he convinced me. Looking at the readme, I am confused/impressed. Author: “the unified package manager (brew2). Contribute to teaxyz/cli development by creating an account on GitHub.”
