I've been using cmus for a few months now. After trying countless music players on Linux and feeling frustrated that none of them ever felt right, cmus was the first one I thought I could get used to. In fact, I think it's the fir

I am very much in love with this idea. There's a chicken-and-egg problem, though, where I live in a city that I doubt will get a host spontaneously (Amarillo, TX) but I'd want to attend one of these to get a feel for it before I&#

Related to this is Lizard, a Kickstarter project that got funded last year, where one person is writing a new game for the NES. He's posted some development blogs as updates to the project, and it's fascinating reading about the d

This is pretty much the primary reason I would ever get a smartwatch. Once I can put Tokyoflash-esque [1] faces on the watch, then I would consider jumping in. [1]: http://www.tokyoflash.com/en/watches/1/

I'd like to see this kind of analysis done on /r/all, since it seems to more closely operate like the author anticipated. The default front page is meant to weight the subreddit like they discovered, but IIRC /r/all

I almost want to liken this attitude to Lua's approach to stability: The general look of the language will remain the same, but some base-line things may change between releases. That's the impression I got from the OP. (Granted,

I've seen a couple independent artists pull their music from Spotify due to the poor proceeds they were receiving, or from a dislike of the revenue model. That may have been the case once or twice.

This is something I wanted to build for myself for a while, at least as an RSS feed or email notification or the like. That way I could track bigger releases the same way as my Bandcamp music feed emails. I'll give this a shot. EDIT: I

I've used xmarks for several years now and I like it. Sometimes it can be awkward when different browsers' conventions both sync in (like Firefox's "Unsorted Bookmarks" appears as a folder in any other browser), but

I like the concept, so I gave it a download. The first immediate comment is that I keep trying to edge-swipe to get from a post back to the main feed, and it's not working. Otherwise, I'll have to poke around more to get a feel fo

I would love to hear this writer's take on chiptune, since he seemed way too amused that it was a "dance club"-type setting without any of the "dance club" stereotypes. I don't think most chip shows have the li

Huh. Works for tracks and playlists, not anything else, looks like. Still, much better than nothing. Thanks!

That may be part of it; I never plug my phone into my desktop, and I get my music on my phone via iTunes Match. But whether or not I have Match enabled on the device, I'm still not able to delete tracks/albums/etc with this b

by icesoldier 13y ago
I've seen that, and I guess as an iTunes Match subscriber I can be okay with that. It's just that I was able to delete individual songs/albums/artists off the phone in previous versions, so I was anticipating that here.

Strange, I can't get the swipe behavior in the Music app. I've yet to plug the phone into iTunes since the iOS 7 update, but whenever I swipe across an album or song, it acts as if I tapped it.

Also missing from Music.app: The ability to delete music from the device. Fortunately I still have some space left on my phone, but barring plugging the phone into iTunes, I don't know how to decrease the amount of music on my phone. I

This reminds me of people using tools to generate maps for Dwarf Fortress based on given elevation/biome data. People have made maps of North America and even the whole earth this way.

So toss a packet-sniffer between your phone and the backup servers. See if the iCloud backup has sufficiently more data inside than before.

Have you looked into F-Droid? It's a directory of free-software Android apps that doesn't require a sign-in to use. I watched my friend use it (iPhone user here) and it looked like once you load the APK from their site, you'r

Sounds to me like someone just packaged up the Monomyth[0] in a version that makes more sense for movies. Formula in fiction is not necessarily new, as the article points out at the end. The trick is to dress it up, change it around, or thr
