Johnny Lee famously hacked a Wii Remote to turn a 2D screen into a 3D window. We revived this trick in Chrome using a standard webcam. Here’s how we did it. 🧵👇

HEY YOUNG PEOPLE, I'm going to do a little thread about how people did normal office/business stuff before the internet really worked, back in the '90s/very early '00s. BUCKLE YOUR FAX MACHINES...

4. What is our **plan** to help people who've lost their jobs & housing due to #LongCovid?  My short term disability runs out soon & I haven’t a clue what I'm going to do. This is a disaster. Long term disability is being flooded & has been denying majority of LC patients.

Hey, so I'm throwing a pop-up workshop. It's about debugging code through comprehensive surveillance (with tools like strace and mitmproxy) instead of hypotheses and conjectures. I'll do it if 6 people register; capping it at 12. bit.ly/2YVkEY6

Received terrible news on a festive day like Christmas eve. My friend @_prakash passed away today. 😔 Ruby community of India is heavily indebted to him. His last few years have been inspirational. What a fighter! He will be missed, but he will be remembered.
