I think "international cyber-relations" is something that's more generally coming into mainstream attention [0], whereas it's always been a bit muted and behind the scenes because people never questioned where the Intern

Tape ages badly. It can get so flaky that if you unwind it fast the oxide sheds and then clings to the head. Heat demagnetises and also warps the substrate. And then there's print through where sound on the next wind (above and below)

Great early examples of simulated acoustic spaces matching geometry, like delay networks for metallic ducting in the crawl spaces. And notable firsts in sound management - before there were really "sound engines".

Which in turn led to an exploding mod scene, clans, hosting and communities. Truly a world-changing game at a golden moment in game history (beside Unreal). And yes, like a good story book a generation have memories of escaping the crumblin

Tell your friend what good company he is in, as one of many, many of us, who do not fit a fleeting mythical stereotype. There are hundreds of reasons why people can not or will not use smartphones. Eyesight. Dexterity. Poverty. Location tr

+1 to that. Exactly the same. I customised dwm way back and keep a personal version around that I tweak and compile now and then. It's a couple hundred lines of cleanish C code. What I love is that I forget it's there. For years I

Cheers, ok, but I couldn't locate a link between generation and outlook that satisfied me. The essay is a nice blast of pop psychology about "types of people", a worthy attack on political persecution, rabid ideology and hive

For shakeups, the Deming (14 point) [0] approach that starts with "watch and learn" (system analysis) has always seemed more mature to me than "slash and burn" (and see what grows out of the ashes). Musk is almost the op

Genuinely curious what makes you see those sets as disjoint? YMMV but as an older person I've always associated socially and politically advanced thinking with the mindset of the "original" pioneers in tech. Shallow money-gr

To me, what's happening in the US now looks very much like the wave of hostile-takeovers that destroyed British industry through the 70s and 80s. Adam Curtis "Mayfair Set" documents it well [0]. "Efficiency", which

> airline reservation system has to be perfect (no slack in today's skies) The slack just gets moved. Airlines oversell by about 8 percent. All systems need some slack in them. Isn't that kinda Bob's Law or something?

US Americans seem quite green, have never had this done to them before on such a scale and so haven't seen the trick before. The art of the hostile takeover. [0] Curtis documents it well, but at tedious length unless you're Britis
