I love my electric moped. Riding it around my European big-city, it just feels so comforting. Its so quiet, it doesn't scare ducks. Scooters are taking over - Vienna is a green city that has had time to refine its transportation cult

When the state of the world becomes untenable, the best thing to do is create a new one, right on top. There is a part of the Internet where ads cannot/have not gone. Just use that. (Or the next one..)

I wonder if there is anything unique about this that might make it interesting to use in a sampler or a synthesizer or something .. maybe some random noises that could be generated by stroking the core, or some such things ..

This erosion of responsibility over time is some sort of back force from a wave of generational disillusionment. We don't want to go back to doing email like our parents did (except we do) so its time to use the cool new shit. Ah, Big

Tight game-loops can be a battery drain, and especially if there are local 'go-lang' things running, inevitably, alongside the SDL bridge. I'd put it in as a clever and educated 'packages may damage your battery' f

Its turtles, all the way down. All users of computers must deal with the abstraction handles and layers for which they are comfortable - and which produce results. Not just data-science people. Pretty much a user maxim.

Those are all perfectly appealing reasons to step one iota closer to the reality described, which is that we should promote the DNA-privileged forward on the sexual reproduction stack. Which is something, I think, a little different to all

I'm really glad they chose C-language for this, personally. The reason is, I've been solving the mobile dilemna for the last few years by focusing on one policy: Lua is the platform. So as soon as I can access a Libre-phone, I&#x

Isn't the point that we wouldn't need app vendors to present these things, if the OS were a little more intelligently exposed to the user, who is expected to own it and not just use it? I think there is something about a "Lin
