Several of the examples in the article are from the Dusseldorf school of photography (which I am a big fan of in general). https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/D%C3%BCsseldorf_school_of_phot... My gateway photo was Cabbage Fi

I'm making a midi clock -> dual tap tempo device (I'm calling it the Twin tap tempo toy, or Tttt). It's based on an Arduino Esplora linked to a dual channel optocoupler / relay. I'm building it because I have an

That's kinda scary then considering how toxic some of the chat is! For me I think I simultaneously like the irreverence, but also the fact people take it very seriously. It's a weird combination. But yeah, sometimes the banter is

Not being a big gamer, I can'comment with much authority. I've played a bunch of Modern Warfare(s) and Battlefields, and Squad. But they all feel pointless to me when ARMA 3 exists. It's _so_ janky but in my mind way more imm

Yep. We had to change our app when we took on a client with a strictly configured WAF which rejected GET with body. I know I have come across multiple points where I have used POST when I know it is wrong, or GET with a body, when I know it

I like these. I have one which gives you a little HTML playground. It's in my favourites and I use it quite a lot for jotting things down. data:text/html,<pre onkeyup="(function(d,t){d[t]('iframe')[0].contentDocu

This is what I was referring to in my original comment. My suggestion is that had you endured S1 fully, you might have felt S4 had risen to a higher level than "ok". That's not to say I begrudge you skipping through S1 ... I&

I hear this a lot about B5, and I get a _sense_ of it myself, but I'd love to know what people specifically mean. I.e. "X plot line is like Y thing" in real life right now.

Yeah Londo and G'kar is a critical relationship to the overall effect. Also I find Garibaldi's arc compellingly tragic also... Also I read JMS' autobiography [1] which added enlightening context [1] J. Michael Straczynski, Be

The disclaimer is just based on my own opinion, so inevitably there will be people to whom it does not apply. Some of the acting in season 1 is great, I would just say there are some spots where it kinda briefly falls through the floor. It

If you decide to watch Babylon 5 for the first time, I suggest giving it a chance to get under your skin. There is quite a lot to get in the way of that such as mediocre acting, cringey humour, low budget fx (all particularly prominent in s

This is a lot of fun! It's also quite relaxing and educational.

It's so weird to me that this comment is so rare in these discussions. Linux / not Linux ... depends on the kid and what their interests are. I have two kids, one of whom I have exposed to Linux as I figured they'd get a kick

Used 8040s is a good call. Nice price point (bit higher in UK though I think).

A little OT: It seems that so few studio monitors (speakers) have grilles. I have kids and I don't want to need to trust them, or to need to ban them. I believe Genelec have grilles but the price is a little high for me for the models

This is a great book and touches on the subject you mention https://simonsingh.net/books/the-code-book/

It's a really good takeaway too. Analysis is a tool, not a way of life. My achilles heel, which is similar, but not the same, is attempting to over-optimise, to the detriment of myself and people around me. I have learnt that sometimes

For me, all this ... computer life stuff ... started with an Acorn Electron around 40 years ago. At first it was just fun, and then I played Elite and it feels like a lot of my future was defined in that experience.

This is exactly how I want my UIs to look - it's like a breath of fresh air. And I love that I can run this from an html file held locally. I'm not going to be writing any books but I think this could work well for some of my note

I have used Manjaro with i3wm (a tiling window manager) on a number of different Thinkpads and it's generally been pretty trouble free, and a lot of fun sometimes! Currently have an AMD T14s. Fwiw I tried Ubuntu desktop a few times bef

Another +1 for Ross Anderson's book Security Engineering. I bought it a few months ahead of starting a Cybersecurity MSc, so I could try to get my head in the right place in advance. My first thought was "it's £$*&in huge

I saw the Maurice Broomfield exhibition and have the book of the same name (Industrial Sublime), which is still widely available and recommended for anyone interested in this area. On the same visit to the V&A I also saw some of Bernd a

I have no expertise here but I'd guess changes in legislation torpedo'ing the business model is probably a big risk.

I did. I accept that a single "s" is more common, but I like the double "s" and I don't believe it is considered wrong (yet).

Mine is also automated, but a lot more lightweight. I - like OP - use JSON Resume [1]. Besides that I just have a Github Action which creates a PDF and also updates a web-based version [2] hosted in AWS S3. My favourite thing about this set

Hi, I had a quick look at website and have some feedback in case you want it. "Faq's" in the top menu does not need the apostrophe and "lets" on the frequently asked questions page needs an apostrophe. So all in all

I built https://wwwww.today/ as a vanity project last year. It's in the same space but is almost completely pointless. Pro tip: clicking through to individual results is probably the most interesting thing you can do.
