The location known as Hackaday, and has been for 21 years. Nevertheless it was just for possibly the primary half-year that it was actually a hack a day. By the 2010s, we had been placing out 4 or extra per day, and within the later 20-teens, we settled into our present cadence of eight hacks per day, plus some authentic items excessive. That’s a variety of hacks per day! (However “Eight-to-Ten-Hacks-a-Day” simply isn’t as catchy.)
With that many posts every day, we additionally have a tendency to succeed in out to a broader array of pursuits. Fairly merely, not each hack is essentially going to be simply precisely what you are on the lookout for, however we wouldn’t be writing it up if we didn’t suppose that somebody was on the lookout for it. Perhaps you don’t like CAN bus hacks, however you’re into biohacking, or retrocomputing. Our broad group of writers helps to ensure that we’ll get you lined in the end.
What’s nonetheless shocking to me, although, is that a few occasions per week, there’s a hack that’s really related to a specific undertaking that I’m at present engaged on. It’s one factor to be taught one thing new day-after-day, and I’d wager that I do, however it’s fully one other to be taught one thing new and related.
So I shouldn’t have been shocked when Tom and I had been going over the week’s hacks on the podcast, and he picked an investigation of injecting spray foam into 3D prints. I favored that one too, however for me it was simply “be taught one thing new”. Tom has been engaged on an underwater ROV, and it completely scratched an itch that he has – how you can hold the highest of the car extra buoyant, whereas maintaining the entire thing waterproof.
That type of expertise is why I’ve been studying Hackaday for 21 years now, and it’s all of our hope that you simply get a few of that too every so often. There may be a variety of “new” on the Web, and that’s a beautiful factor. However the mixture of recent and related simply can’t be beat! So when you’ve received something you need to hear extra about, tell us.
