How feasible would it be to add MIDI out support to this? I often find my improvised melodies are more interesting when I whistle them, so this would be a handy feature.

That’s disingenous. Microsoft themselves considered Linux a serious threat as early as 1998, as described in their own confidential memoranda. (AKA the Halloween Documents released by ESR.)

FWIW, you can also put the paper in the freezer and it will become visible again, though usually not as strong as it was originally.

Your assertion, such as it is, is poorly formed. This research did not, as you imply, test 200 potential associations and report the one that was the “winner”. A single /a priori/ hypothesis was formulated and then tested using th

The alternative is to refuse to delegate the formation and development of the character of our children and culture to automated systems and regulatory policies. Engage with your children on topics that matter. Discuss the pros and cons of

LG Gram laptops have excellent battery life. E.g. https://www.notebookcheck.net/Lightweight-with-power-and-20-... I have an LG Gram 15 from 2021 and it gets 15+ hours under light usage in Linux.

Except that it is not materially false. Only in a perfect society will your “system that flags illicit content” not become a system that flags whatever some authoritarian regime considers threatening, and subverting public logging/audi

One scenario would be if it scanned it once in 8 days and once in 4 days, due to, say, an elliptical orbit or something. Thus, twice in 12 days, but not once every 6 days. Alternately, complex orbital tracks may result in irregular accumula

If you are asserting that Linus Pauling was the only two-time winner of the Nobel Prize, my doubt in the accuracy of your conclusions has only increased, given that Marie Curie, John Bardeen, and Frederick Sanger have all won two Nobel Priz

Presumably this could be used for color imaging by using lasers of different wavelengths?

Sure, except: A) some are being fired because they did what their bosses asked them to (legally) in the previously administration. B) some of them are being fired because refusing to do illegal things is considered "disloyal" by t

Of course it can. You take drug A for 5 days to get rid of symptom X. The symptom X does not go away. It is ineffective! You stop taking drug A and immediately experience brutal migraines that go away when you start taking drug A again. Erg

The “cut up” feeling that can occur after eating kiwi or pineapple is more likely to be caused by the natural proteases present in the raw fruit (actinidain and bromelain, respectively) as the “cut up” feeling generally does not occur in co

That was such a delightful fact that I had to source it. Tragically, it is not true. Gee, K. L., Mathews, L. T., Anderson, M. C., & Hart, G. W. (2022). Saturn-V sound levels: A letter to the Redditor. The Journal of the Acoustical Socie

I wonder to what extent these attacks can be mitigated by the addition of “noise” in the form of concurrent/interleaved computational loads, analogous to how fuzzy fonts can be used mitigate TEMPEST radiation-based information leakage

I wish there was a Productpedia that would crowdsource structured data about products on a per-category basis. There are isolated instances of this on Wikipedia, i.e. lists of CPUs etc., but not in a queryable form (that I know of). You’d n

Worse, osmium tetroxide is volatile and sublimes at room temperature. I was told by my lab instructor that it is said to smell sweet, but that if you ever inhale enough to be able to smell it, you will have already absorbed a lethal dose.

Oddly enough, I was not misled and assumed that it referred to Adobe Type I, given that is HN and end of Type I diabetes would be making headline news in most all other news outlets. Which it is not.

I wouldn't trust startup-bros either, without regulatory oversight. That being said, the hostility towards the FDA is not without basis (see below). Though I would argue that much of that hostility it due to it doing too little, rather

Note: Starlink orbits at an altitude of 340-350 miles . Hughesnet’s geosynchronous orbit has an altitude of 22,000 miles. That is over 62 times higher, not 4. FWIW.

Operator in this context is similar to administrator. A cognate being "sysop" from the 80s and 90s bulletin-board scene, meaning "system operator".
