@stux What a piece of work is a man / How noble in reason, how infinite in faculty, / In form and moving how express and admirable, / In action how like an Angel…

@futurebird throw uniform random dots in a unit square, see what fraction are inside the unit circle, use that to estimate pi (and see how good your random number generator is :)

@PseudoNovalis Thanks to @ubuweb for preserving so much of this https://ubu.com/film/paik.html but sadly maybe not the film you want?

@futurebird There is a 2-dimensional barcode (actually dots) called Anoto that does this, kind of a tessellation if you connect the dots? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Digital_paper

@historyofpunkrock I remember the Olympic Auditorium. It was a boxing arena. They put the stage for the bands up on one side of the audience seating, and the ring was the mosh pit 🤘🏽

My first job out of college was at Teradyne, a company that makes PCB and semiconductor testers. Had a nostalgia jag and looked up pictures of the bonkers PCBs that went into their equipment. (I was writing test automation software: with hindsight I wish I had worked with the HW folks, I would have learned a lot!)#pcbs #retrocomputing

The electronics for PCB testing were super gnarly because the system would test each IC IN PLACE on the circuit board. A vacuum would suck the PCB down over a bed-of-nails fixture to contact each IC pad, overdriving any other input signals AT SPEED. So each channel had a high-current high-speed driver and a big chunk of memory for test patterns and expected outputs.

@tomjennings How far do they run? Microtrenching for optical fiber without digging up the street is a thing...

@tomjennings From your second picture above, the groove is out in the softer asphalt and avoiding the harder concrete, but that would make sense for anything you wanted to bury...
