A cube looks like a square from three orthogonal directions. A cylinder can look like a square from infinitely many directions, but they are all coplanar. Can you find a convex shape that looks like a square from more than three directions, without all of them being coplanar? In particular, can you find a convex shape that looks like a square from two distinct sets of three orthogonal directions? Can you find all such shapes?

I am using a camera connected directly to a monitor to reduce lag. This allows me to see both the monitor and the board at the same time, without moving my head. I see the board an the tip at an angle allowing me to judge the height. When soldering, I will mostly look at the monitor and regularly scanning to see the height of the tip.
The bigger problem is with placing fine components on the board. It's just slow and irritating. I will position the component in its location and then slowly bring it down until it touches the paste.
Is this the state of affairs after the improvements described at https://lwn.net/Articles/724307/ have gone in?

In other words, if I
- have a (semantic) pointer to, say, the last word on a line
- am maintaining just the single last word I read in my short-term memory/register
- scroll and then have to look for the line I was just on before I have reoriented myself
then it feels like I have to do a kind of mechanistic attention-interrupt/syscall that locks my conscious interpretation of the text's meaning until I have returned to the index of the text that I was just at. I guess that also explains why sometimes, when I am simultaneously trying to reflect on the text while scrolling, I am significantly less able to do so fluidly, as if there were some underlying deadlock, and more often than not have to repeatedly attempt finding the next line..
But if you hold a book in your hands, there is much less variation in the 'streamed/online/', structural form of the text. More or less, all that my brain knows it needs to anticipate is page turning. It can figure out how to cancel out my hand movements, background visual information, surroundings, etc. from my conscious experience because that's what we've evolved to be able to suppress from our attention.
Maybe, then, computer file viewing UIs that have page-flipping skeuomorphisms are less attention interrupting, because they would avoid these interruptions being done more than one time per page/pair of pages?

I would love to have that on my ebook reader, may need to hack that together some time to try. I dislike switching back and forth between two pages as is sometimes necessary; in this regard, this even seems better to me than a regular book.
I would love to see the microfluidics cooling. I wonder what would happen if you reached boiling though--it'd probably explode the chip.
