I really love the iterative progress with 0 A.D. And every time the game shows up in news, it's always amazing to go through the changelog. I just wish I was a but younger with more time to play :) For an OSS project it's quite an achievement!

I must say it's really refreshing to see such a variety of different ideas and page designs.
The device in the article is not compatible with Visionect, but Visionect does offer digital signage devices (with even 13", 32" or even 42" e-ink displays). The prices of these devices are a bit premium but you get what you pay for.

Looks like a great advertisement for the services ... I mean all the surveys were conducted by the service providers.
Couldn't mastodon just provide an option to logging in via OpenID? Then you would have a single authentication for multiple mastodon instances with different topics.
Yes, some meetings don't really require my presence. Many times, for me it's more like: "hey, anything to add here?".
I'm a lead that's an introvert as well. I've figured out what really drains me are any meetings that I'm not in charge of (or haven't initiated the meeting). It probably has something to do with self-confidence and I will speak rarely or if I'm called upon.
Also for me it's hard to be energetic at the start of the day when meetings slowly appear on the daily agenda. The more I speak, the more confidence I get. But this is only in the case with a meet with many participants. I have no problems with 1:1 meetings.
Is this something similar to what the site https://144notes.org/ tries to do? Color the pitches?
The current solution offers a management interface for a fleet of such devices with different content and "renderers" and power and activity statistics and charts and an HTTP API interface.
It is possible to use the HTTP backend where you manually convert PDF to images and then push images directly to the server and the device.
Hi. Yes, we have a 32" Place&Play product but currently can't be used as a replacement for the Joan product line. On the other hand, we have smaller 13" Joan devices available.
The Visionect Server is able to automatically pre-optimize the images before they're rendered on the device display (e.g. grayscaling, contrast correction).
Yes, because the device is "dumb", it can achieve long battery autonomy. For example, our Joan products can work up to 6 months on battery without recharging.
There is a product, called Joan Home that is meant for home use and can display a single Google calendar https://getjoan.com/shop/joan-home/. If you share the calendar, it can be perfect to show family events.

Hello, I work for Visionect, the company that makes the hardware. We have a wireless e-ink based product that does exactly what you want. Check out Joan at https://getjoan.com
Hi! Yes, fully remote work is possible, even after COVID.

The same can be observed for every person the company is hiring. But yet, there are exceptional employees who do really good work, even outside what is expected from them. I think it's fair that the same can be said for HR.
In the end, I think it really depends on your expectations what the role and responsibilities of a HR actually are.

We're a company, developing our own electronic-paper devices and have several open positions, including:
- senior front-end developer,
- senior back-end developer,
- senior full-stack engineer.
Finding cheaper solutions is tricky. I myself am not that strong in electronic engineering, so assembling my own small device is a no-go for me. But yes it would definitely be possible with a small LCD and rpi.
Yes, I don't even notice it's there until there is a change and the screen blinks a bit. To maybe reference another comment, this is why I also like e-paper, no backlight needed, just an external source of light, like the Sun ;)
I try to keep it minimum. But I really want to focus on the stats, so maybe more details about the branch should be interesting to follow.
Nice project! Yes they are indeed cheaper. It's really up to your taste. The device I'm using is already in a casing and comes with a sophisticated software that can render any modern HTML5 on the device with full JS support.
I agree, it's expensive if you compare the price to an LCD. But as this is e-paper technology with completely different use cases, the manufacturing costs are still high. Keep in mind that, currently, e-paper is not a substitute for classic LCD panels.
Where e-paper shines for me is very low battery consumption. For example, the mentioned device can hold up to 6 months without a single battery recharge and is completely wireless.
Hello, author here. That's totally correct, I use gitlab and that is the reason why gitlab and not github. I wanted to track the commits and the number of lines added/deleted per commit and my 6" e-ink device was kind of perfect for the job, sitting next to my monitor :)
This is exactly what the Visionect Place&Play does: can display HTML5 content on E-Ink displays (see https://www.visionect.com/products/place-and-play/) and is packaged in a neat casing.

They're not converted but can be implicitly casted to pointer types.
An array is not a pointer. These are completely different data types. For example, you can't apply pointer arithmetic to arrays without casting them to pointers.
This reminds me of my own project to use pandoc for generating blog posts https://outfloor.org/
