@OneBitOnePixel What's the purpose of doing this?

Peak instrument display design.
This is how measurement should look: no-nonsense, legible, slightly radioactive.

i saw a mouse with an X-shaped battery compartment.

first thought: this is stupid - who designed it?

5 seconds later: oh.

10 seconds later: OHHH!

the X slot fits an AA or an AAA battery - whichever you've got lying around.

the part most people miss is that the shape also makes it physically impossible to load both at once.

there is no warning label, no instructions and no way to screw it up.
the geometry does the thinking for you.

japanese has a word for this.
poka-yoke = "mistake-proofing."

the product refuses your stupidity before you can offer it.

i wish more things worked like this.

There’s a famous Usenet story about a programmer (Mel) who refused higher level abstractions.

It was the late 1950s, and even in that era, Mel was…well today we’d call him a boomer.

Mel only wrote in raw hexadecimal. He didn’t approve of compilers, and refused to use optimizing assemblers.

"You never know where it's going to put things”, he said.

Everyone else in the company was moving on to FORTRAN, and they didn’t understand why Mel was so stubborn about using new tools. He *loved* self-modifying code.

“If a program can’t rewrite its own code”, he asked, “what good is it?”

Mel eventually left the company, and other engineers were tasked with understanding what was left.

Mel’s hand-optimized routines always beat the assemblers; but some of it looked absolutely bizarre.

One engineer took ~2 weeks to understand why there were loops with no exit condition…yet the program worked fine.

I won’t spoil all the details, you should really read it, it’s short. But it’s a fantastic piece on “what defines a real programmer?”…which is becoming increasingly relevant in this vibe-coded era.

I strive to understand computers as deeply as Mel! If we aren’t careful, we’re going to lose the “Mels” of this world to time.

That’s part of why I go so deep in my youtube videos. I hope that younger viewers are genuinely fascinated by the inner workings of our machines, instead of handing everything off to higher abstractions.
