Will this is incredible! I’ve been learning openscad and making 3d models with it using python and this is such an inspiration. Check out the latest nightly version of openscad it’s significantly faster, like seconds vs multiple minutes on my exports.

Is it possible to be a professor without a PhD? I would like to teach at a college level but the PhD path seems so risky to me to take a pay cut for years and you might not get the degree, and not a get a job.

Just downloaded it because of the animation on the site. How did you make that? it's cute.

The terminal is good. I don't have any issues with the stock mac os terminal app but I'll give yours a go for a bit. I can't tell exactly how, but it does feel faster - I'm not sure exactly how it is but it looks like it renders text faster.

Hi,

For the US 2024 Presidential election, I made a scraper that pulled the NY Times electoral college data and displayed it on my AlfaZeta flip-digit display. (Code [0])

It's very hard to get free electoral college data live, but at Syracuse's Open Data Day I learned the NY Times election data is just JSON files the whole site is powered by ~5 JSON files. So I got to work making a scraper for 2020's data and formatting for my display. I built a websocket serial server that runs on a Raspberry Pi so I could work on my laptop and test it. [1]

At 6 pm (eastern) the new data dropped and that resulted in a URL for the JSON and a new data structure. I spent the next 20 minutes parsing it out and then let it ran for the whole night. I took a timelapse of the night (linked in the website)[2] and added back the click-clack sounds I heard that night.
