on: Display-switch: Turn a $30 USB switch into a full-featured multi-monitor KVM
If you actually sat and read it, you'd see that it's a piece of software that sits on each device connected to the USB switch and detects the USB disconnect/reconnect events which trigger when the USB switch is triggered and uses them to detect that the device should try to take control of the display devices.

They have a playlist on Amazon Music called +44 for “the best” in British music (I beg to differ) but it seems that’s what the trademark covers[1].

British copyright law states that books enter the public domain 70 years after the author's death, in this case, 1954. So hopefully in a few years it'll be accessible.

I've been contributing on and off to the project since it went open source (#4 on that page), it's an interesting experience communicating with blank faces that you can't know or find anything about.
Unrelated: About a year in they sent me an award[0] for continued contributions, but there's a puzzle on it I'm yet to solve; if anyone runs across this I'd appreciate any input!

Nope, they all use gmail addresses - I contribute a bit to this project so I've sent a few emails back and forth.

I've been on a bit of a Michael Lewis binge myself recently, just finishing his book "The Undoing Project" - would definitely recommend if you're even tangentially interested in human psychology. It's a great introduction into why we make errors on a cognitive level and is a great follow-up to some of the concepts discussed in Moneyball.

on: Show HN: Water.css – A just-add-css collection of styles to make websites nicer
Not OP, but my dad was in a similar situation to yourself - when I was 12 he bought me an Arduino kit for Christmas and we spent the holidays building projects together. When I was 13-14 he started taking my sister and I to CoderDojos. I'm not saying this will work for every kid and I was nowhere near as advanced as this guy at his age but it has given me a what seems to be a great career path post-university and a good background in open-source software.

It's going to be an open source release so depending on your paranoia levels you could just build it yourself.

on: Jailbreaking Super Mario World to Install a Hex Editor and Mod Loader [video]
The number of things people do to break old games consistently amazes me. Glitched speedruns ala 0 Exit in SMW (first demoed on a real SNES by the creator of this video) and Ocarina of Time Any% show an insane amount of dedication.

Game capture from a gbc/GBA is not possible, without using a game boy player for the GameCube - hence the emulator is used so they can actually capture the run. Speedrun.com distributes the allowed emulators on their site so everyone is on a level playing field.
