This gold deserves repost. Moreover, the real reason for this software having been created is that the creator is looking for job

> A lot of free time. I'm open to full-time work in NYC or remote. I'm a designer/design-engineer. https://samhenri.gold

There's nothing wrong with that.

There is.. we don't need to see the exact same front page articles each week - it reduces the signal to noise ratio for regulars.

That XKCD really only applies to interesting things, and OP doesn't really cut it.

Then don’t upvote it. No sense in complaining about what hits the front page - it’s decided by votes of visitors.

Is this like the 3rd time this got close to/on top of front page of hacker news?

Yes. And I can't understand why it is interesting. I mean why it is front page interesting.

My theory is that Mac users are excited about the idea that they have some control over their hardware.

How often do we need to repost this?

How often will you repost this?

My guess: as often as necessary until folks get it. No sense in complaining about what the community has voted to the front page. Presumably, some have not seen it.

That was partly a recursive joke.

Relevant cool, creaky old wooden door sound effect video from the same author:

For older models you can use the ambient light sensor, demo video and link to code: https://youtu.be/pzJwDs6KRXA?si=zd4TmBZ0wJHO7Pbi

mewtru forked it and went one step further and turned it into a pong controller!

Déjà vu. Groundhog day? What's this? Are we in a matrix?

People have been paying far too much for protractors for far too long.

I hope the author can leverage his innovation in goniometry to put 'big protractor' out of business.

I remember in my third year med school orthopedic surgery rotation when a resident or attending pulled what I thought was a nifty folding protractor out of his pocket to measure flexion angle of a knee. Only then did I first encounter the word "goniometer."

I wonder how many lines of code would be in Swift.

A month has passed, m1 MacBook pro is still not supported. Sad!
