I'm riffing off the Ben Heck design https://www.benheck.com/controllers/ but I'm mounting the entire xbox controller on a $15 joystick and then wiring the analog 3dof sensor from the joystick into the xbox controller. So, with one hand, you have access to one origina thumbstick and tilt the entire controller to actuate the other thumbstick.
I've been eagerly awaiting this device from xbox. While it is great, it's just a breakout box, you still need to setup your inputs.
As a side note, are you aware of the class of devices such as the xim4 or the Venom X which comes with a mouse & nunchuck?

To place a bomb is a linear bang-bang controller (pun intended) And the decision is already made wrt collateral damage
But to target a moving object from a moving object holding a gun on a 3-dof mount is an order of magnitude harder to control and the question of collateral damage is an unknown.
If being able to create the 'end use software' on these devices, then again you're right.
If these devices are little more than portable web browsers, computing ?
Windows has done far far more in terms of being a platform for computational work.
He did introduce a class of devices/products but Apple and Computational machines are not two concepts I associate.
The Windows OS has done more. My point being... yes he's a genius but in terms of Marketing, Business and seeing where the hockey puck is going.
He excelled at selling to desires, but look at the 'real computers' Apple has produced in recent years.
I would imagine one group opposed to such a device would be the police themselves. They are as likely to get shot as anyone else.
I think a more practical application would be camera mounted infantry for SWAT teams. And, based on some of the incidents we've seen recently, assessing situations is where many interactions go south.
Whooaa, that's quite a stretch.
'Modern Computing' was happening with or without Steve Jobs. He certainly was an exemplar visionary that put the right parts together at the right time.
But, he did not create or define. Technological progress has it's own immutable momentum.
They are certainly hit or miss on product design but their execution entering markets has been a high successful formula. Razor thin margins until the competition bleeds to death. I would like to understand examples of where they failed there?
I will also grant you that they do take a big of a 'see what sticks to the wall' approach to innovation. But do not mistake rapid iteration as a singular 'failure'
I'd say rapidly. And, it's really hard to see how they can be stopped. They're now capable disrupting any market they choose.
On the one hand, this can be a good thing, i.e Healthcare. On the other I feel like we're going to end up with something like Pixar's 'Buy-N-Large'
It boggles my mind that some DA put the effort in to this case.
You're ignoring the other aspects of design; research, testing, etc. Just because I don't code doesn't mean I don't understand the ramification of what I put down on 'paper'
I have coded in the past but I chose to let that skill drop as it takes practice and time.
By example, here's an overview of my methodologies. In fact, I call out how I can save coding time by iterating ahead of the dev.
Take Amazon for example. If they went from the design 5-7 years ago straight to the current design, there would be uproar, Stock price dip etc.
The incremental approach allows the site owner to both roll back bad ideas but also condition users into where the design is heading.
(Correction: not Conde Nast) The owner, has a plan, which is clearly not inline with the current Reddit usage, this is not the approach to get to that goal.
I am struggling to think of big drops like this working, anyone?
Any roll back is a set back.
Fitts Law is specifically about targeting.
The 'feature' to wrap the pointer may compound targeting issues but it's secondary. Again, Fitts' is about distance to and size of a target.
> It's literally the current assets (cash you could get access to in a year) divided by the current liabilities (all expenses due in a year)
Essentially you should have a 6 month runway. If you have 25K cash and 50K costs per year then the $25K will buy you 6 months to get yourself over a layoff/health issue/etc.
Just a small point because it's a rule I live by and you freaked me out for a moment thinking the advice/goalposts had move way beyond what I've saved for.
thanks
The fact it turns on, is bolted to the vdub and so forth... mere details.
Converting a car is a completely different kettle of fish. As someone who's built a couple of personal electric vehicles I can attest, the US has plenty of regulations of what you can do on the highways and byways.
the trick seems to be to cancel and sign up again for the new user deals.
That, and the rest of the fonts are not the typical Chinese Times Roman(tm)
The bit that caught my eye was the Just Dance channel (I assume its a twitch stream)
It gives Apple flexibility and avoids secondary technical and real estate type debts.
Maybe we should skip the middleanimal? I'm sure some of those drugs that failed to work on surrogates are perfectly fine for humans.
On the one hand he says he says he used the whites of Shaq's eyes as a reference and on the other he states that the design of the glasses hugs the users head to block out ambient light getting in from the side.
There's a slew of issues with this derivation. To arrive at a number like 15%, without showing his homework, is as questionable as the marketing claims of Leap themselves.
I'm not saying he's wrong but it does sound like a lot of bias.
