My personal favorite example of composition for robots was the project Squarepusher did for Zima (yes, the defunct drink that tasted like alcoholic diet Sprite) [ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VkUq4sO4LQM ]. That being said

A few of my favorites: There's a set of string lights in my apartment that were left installed when I moved in. They look pretty nice and they provide decent illumination in an area that's difficult to light, but I virtually never

#55 is 20 Jazz Funk Greats , and I thought it was suggesting that (industrial noise group) Throbbing Gristle would be good programming music. However, it just looks like that's just the name of a blog that they used to find the music.

To piggyback off of your comment on escolar, the article's description of toothfish being passed off as Chilean sea bass is also rather misleading. "Chilean sea bass" is just a marketing term for toothfish, which means they&#

Does this assume that the keyboard is qwerty, or is it able to identify typing patterns regardless of the keyboard layout? I use Dvorak and I couldn't get any of the demos to work for me, but that may just be my fault.

And for the $2000 MSRP of the OP-1 Field you could buy a brand new 13" MacBook Pro, an Ableton Live Standard 11 license, a Scarlett Solo audio interface, an M-Audio Keystation 49 USB MIDI controller, and still have some money left over

The choice of state symbols is really interesting. I like the orange with the silhouette of Florida. I also really like how New Hampshire's license plate depicts the state's iconic gradient fill tool.

Does anybody know if it's possible to watch the entire movie anywhere? It looks like Milestone Films did a 4k restoration in 2019 but the link to watch it doesn't seem to work any more and their web page indicates that physical co

When I first read this I was 100% on the author's side, but after visiting CookUnity's site I have some reservations. Unless CU changed their website since this was posted (which was about an hour ago according to Github), they me

Maybe it's just not displaying correctly for me, but the difference between the images for the last easy one (search border radius) is extremely difficult to see.

This is a neat idea, but I feel like an iPad Pro is overkill for accessing a virtual desktop. You could set up something similar with an old laptop for a fraction of the price.

I don't know if I'm a super taster, but I am a huge fan of other beverages, alcoholic or not. I collect Scotch, rare beers, meads, and I used to help organize a liquor tasting/sharing group. I can definitely understand wine t

To expand on what you're saying, there's a big difference between "I don't like X" and "X is bad". I've never been much of a wine person. It's not without trying. I've had everything from ch

I honestly can't believe there's a front page Hacker News post about Perplex City today. I was literally searching for cards on eBay last night. I would love to see a game like Perplex City return some day. It was one of the first

Given that they're offering a $59k reward for their missing ledger I'm curious if anybody is going to try to make a fake ledger instead of a fake guitar.

In the article the writer says that they've had to do multiple replacements so far, and having to get replacement AirPods every several months isn't sustainable or convenient.

My absolute favorite feature from older Macbooks was the access panel on the bottom for swapping the battery and hard drive. I'm not sure what models have them; I have a standard Macbook from ~2008 that has it. You just press a lever a

In the post they specifically say they can't use Linux due to legal reasons. I imagine this would apply to a VM, also.

I met him at Gencon this year, but I didn't realize who he was at the time. I only listen to the podcast, so I didn't recognize him. He was sitting on a Rathskellers gaming table and I started asking him about the table. It was on

Given the name I was expecting this to be affiliated with Tom Vasel (founder of The Dice Tower and notable game reviewer) in some way, but it seems to be completely unrelated.

I'd really like to see a clearer shot of the steering wheel (steering device?) I'm curious why they decided to go with something that looks more like a plane's yoke than a normal wheel. Is this something that's common wi

Open source alternatives are already out there. Wekan is one of the more popular ones. I'm not sure if it has all of the features of Trello as I haven't used Trello extensively. https://github.com/wekan/wekan

Thanks for the recommendation; I just purchased it. As another commenter said, TIS-100 is also a great game about an assembly language for a fictional computer that I'd highly recommend. I had a lot of fun playing with MIPS assembly in
