I agree. As a (hobbyist) musician and a (professional) programmer, I would not classify this web page as “music theory” given its widely accepted definition. At UIUC, we had a class called Electronic Music Synthesis. It’s been over a decade

I never realized Lenna was a Playboy centerfold until years after I first encountered it, which was part of an MP in the data structures class all CS undergrads take at UIUC. There’s also the foreman for video: https://youtube.co

Another good option is U-Pack if you have more things that can fit in PODS. ABF Freight drops a container off on your street and you have a couple days to fill it. Then they pick it up and drive it to your destination. You only pay per line

John DeMarsico directs the SNY broadcasts for the NY Mets and sometimes posts behind the scenes for how all the cameras come together into a production. I think they are pretty interesting to watch. https://x.com/SNYtv/

I haven’t used a bandsaw a lot, but I have seen some photos of gnarly lost fingers. I use a table saw quite a bit and think there are more ways things can go wrong, most of which stem from kickback which happens in a split second. The wood

Netflix is trying to expand into live sports. This event wasn’t a one off thing. There is an NFL game they are streaming at the end of the year.

Lots of discussion inside the comments about how this could have happened, and whether OP just made a careless mistake. Thought some people here might find it interesting.

We do something similar at work. We have a Slack channel and a private leaderboard, but we also have prizes for getting a certain number of stars, and also do "challenges" like most unique languages or using an esolang for a day.

I understand that, but shouldn't OMNY only receive the anonymized static card number? If I use the OMNY tool [0] and enter in the un-anonymized card number from my physical card, I can still see my ride history even though I paid using

Does anyone know how this was done for payments made with Apple Pay? I thought the card numbers were anonymized when Apple Pay is used.

I had a similar experience. /r/turning had no memespam and good wood turning content, but I found the actual American Association of Woodturners forum to have very wide breadth and high quality information.

NHL blackouts (at least today’s NHL blackouts) are not for getting fans into arena seats. They exist because local cable broadcasts own the exclusive rights to broadcast games in local markets.

Yes, we thought that was strange too but it kind of makes sense if the process is unaware that the GPU exists because of the OS settings. As an aside, we also discovered that `powerPreference` is only a hint according to the spec, so there&
