This is such an impressive project, and now we know why nobody was offering a 60fps e-ink monitor before.

The author seems to have used an LLM as an editor but the reasoning is solid.

Sounds like a navy seal.

This is an opinion piece: I recognize that what defines an exception engineer is deeply personal, and this is an attempt to put my own definition into words.

New comment by random__duck in "Trying to preserve other peoples code"

random__duck — Tue, 26 May 2026 20:50:06 +0000

This tool used to be available though a great web interface. When I was visiting it in the past it felt like the site would be up forever, and then one day I tried to reach out to it again only to realize it was gone. I had once again forgotten how fickle the internet is. For now the only other instance of it is though code forge, but one day, that too might disappear.

So this repository exists in an effort to keep an archive of this code, preserve the memory of what the tool used to be, and do so in the most respectable manner to the original creator.
