It’s tiny. It’s dumb. It’s dangerous. And no, it’s not my brain. nope forcibly shuts down your computer down like pulling out the plug. No shut down process, no graceful halt, just a crash and burn. Because sometimes you just gotta say, ‘nope.’
Implant #3: xEM Hi all. New implant tonight. I’m zonked so not much fanfare, but it’s an xEM that lets me clone contactless access cards (like cards to get into buildings, gym, etc.). Check out the video here (don’t need a FB account to watch).
Getting out of class early is dangerous… …because I make things like this. I have no regrets. https://jkingsman.github.io/TheProclaimers/
A FOXO4-DRI Breakdown — Senescent Cell Apoptosis Wait! Don’t run away! This is actually super cool. It’s a long post, but you’ll be super smart by the end ;) Yesterday, an extremely exciting academic study from the Netherlands Cancer Institute in Amsterdam described tremendously exciting leaps in anti-aging drugs, often thought to be a holy grail of biological science. These results are […]
Tech Debt in Research & Academia: 3 Keys for Getting on the Right Track Tech debt: a concept in programming that reflects the extra development work that arises when code that is easy to implement in the short run is used instead of applying the best overall solution.source Research institutions often suffer from the effects of technical debt that slow processing, lead to inflexible procedures and pipelines, and ultimately limit […]
Personal Favorites from Vault7 (CIA Leak) As you may or may not have heard, the CIA has recently had a major document trove released about the works of CCI in Langley. There are lots of analyses of the technical aspects (including on the leak homepage). Politics aside, I’m mainly enjoying seeing the internals of a different developer/company/government culture — some of […]
Replace as You Type 😊 This is a little half hour project I built before bed since I was itching to code something that wasn’t horribly frustrating (thanks, Compilers class…). This replaces text as you type with user-defined replacements a la iOS. It’s simple but super nice if you prefer emojis or use text shortcuts (‘shrug’ becomes ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ on my system). Github. […]
Gamma frequency screen strobe for Chrome A groundbreaking new study linking gamma frequency photostrobing to reduction of amyloid plaque load in the brain which can cause Alzheimer’s. I wrote a Chrome extension that strobes the screen at a custom intensity and frequency to aim to replicate gamma frequency induce amyloid plaque reduction. The extension options page allows for custom change in […]
μHarness: Lightweight (<600 byte) JS testing harness I finished some homework early so I took ten minutes to spin out a piece of code I actually wrote as part of a class project (COEN164 shout out; thanks to Evan Paul for the praise that spurred me into repo-fying this) into a proper open source repo. I’ve often been frustrated with super heavy […]
Is Jack dead yet? Short and sweet, but lots of fun, my end of summer project was a digital will dissemination system as well as a cute little life clock for myself. It was a nice way to stretch my legs after the FOSS moratorium I was under while at FB and handy to get something done that’s been […]
