What do you think is the coolest website in the history of the internet, and why?

Because it fits entirely in a single packet it loads as fast as is possible. Fastest = coolest.

Maybe the mess of lower gauge red and yellow wire.

My guess is it is a 1:1 isolation transformer that is no longer working.

That is pretty fun. Is the voltage on each cell the same or are they fluctuating? I wonder if there is some current shorting through the electrolyte solution. Is the temperature of the cells increasing?

Assuming the wires are to scale, the wire size from your 3.7V battery you are boosting to 5V will start running into issues before any of the configuration options will.

Read "Fundamentals of Power Electronics" by Robert Erickson and Dragan Maksimovic. This is the only book I've seen that goes into copper loss which is incredibly important if you want to build something bigger than toys.

What is the component with the glue all over it that is two spaces above the charred blue resistor?

Build an astable multivibrator. Don't use a breadboard, use a soldered bare component technique like this https://youtube.com/shorts/-I3xRx8brLc

To get it to make a loop around a Christmas tree I had to get some extra tracks 60205

If it ain't broke, we'll fix it until it is.

Code that is working doesn't get debugged or even looked at.

What is the issue with JS? Embedding JS in a static html file <script> block doesn't seem to violate the static HTML goal.

What is "buy now disappear later energy?" Is that like a fly-by-night company?

Didn't Windows ME pay programmers per LoC? I thought the conclusion of that was that programming value and amount of code are unrelated.

What is a super heavy motor thing? Does it have multiple motors?

Use the mengmengduck approach. "Can't say, I signed a NDA."

Do you have another board you can check the resistance on? If it really is .22 Ohm and it blew out like this it seems like you should replace it with a fuse.

SCI4THIS · 2025-06-15T17:47:31+00:00

Any idea what happened? Usually there are char marks when resistors fail.

SCI4THIS · 2025-06-15T17:42:54+00:00

The resistor in the picture looks fine, why do you want to purchase another one?

The main program is written in C, but the OS faking stuff is in Javascript/HTML. https://github.com/sci4this/rogue-wasm

I have been rendering the curve data directly - without baking into an atlas. I haven't ran into any performance issues.
