I believe the idea is that it is you essentially get the best of both worlds with this setup because 1) switching between sitting and standing is more fluid, as you need only to sit down or get out of your chair to switch (rather than needi

Anybody know if/how well this can export scores to MIDI? I've recently been learning to use Ableton and found that exporting my compositions created in Finale to work excellently, which has given me a whole new level of control ov

> Time sharing and the obligation not to break "the family computer" make it pretty useless as a tinkering platform, unless your parents are technical and comfortable with it. I follow the logic here, and intuitively agree, but

Aren't f-holes a common style choice for electric hollow-bodies in general? Maybe they're all just copying Gibson's example as well, but I can't remember the last time I saw one that had any other shaped sound holes.

Ah, I see now. Looking back, it wasn't terribly clear what the parent meant by changing the orientation to carry it by, I just made the connection automatically and assumed it was there.

What? It would sag when you have it turned on it's side vertically? That's like, bean-bag level sag.

This talk from Ed Lu[1] has a lot of great illustrations and cost/benefit analysis of NEO defense measures. He is obviously a bit biased as CEO of the Sentinel Mission, but IIRC, he isn't shy to admit that. [1] https://

This hits on something in the calculation that I feel is very hard to factor in, the cost of development time. Sure, there are plenty of ways to do these things cheaper on a hardware/software cost per user basis, but more often than no

Not to critique the legitimacy of the work your interviewee, but I can't imagine another time this would be relevant on HN. http://www.smbc-comics.com/index.php?id=3971

I think it's a bit disingenuous to paint with such a broad brush the level of knowledge there is about the long-term effects of GMO foods. Numerous studies have been released[0] and more published every year seem to lean towards minima

The thing is, I don't think the "What would it take to convince you?" discussion is generally actually fruitful for beliefs like these. For example, Bill Nye posed this exact question to Ken Ham during their Evolution/Cr

Where are you seeing that Solitaire was bundled in Windows 2.1? Both the wiki page you reference and the Wes Cherry's linked comment both suggest that it was originally included in 3.0.

According to that then it looks like the 12 month running average is significantly lower, is that to be expected/in line with predictions/at all statistically relevant? I'm still not sure I actually understand what those numb

I don't exactly agree with the rationale, but I don't think your analogy about luxury housing accurately portrays the problem. Larger, better built housing with extra amenities will cost more and almost certainly gentrify the neig

That sounds cool, but I wonder if there would be a problem if the repo hit anything close to a critical mass where several people were editing forked repos at once and submitting pull requests. I imagine it would be pretty frustrating to go

Alternatively, a Reddit post describing essentially the same thing, but in fewer words, that is a good read and has some good advice on avoiding/surviving these situations. https://np.reddit.com/r/worldnews/co

While it wouldn't exactly follow the lunar cycle as the parent mentions, there are already proposed calendars similar to what you mention[1]. Of course, with any calendar readjustment come just as many drawbacks, as the wiki entry ment

I assumed the hacksaw blades were also trade goods to be used for making weapons. I imagine if you were really determined to escape you may need more materials than that.

I feel like you're ignoring a whole host of variables with a reductionist statement like "they commit more crimes proportionally". First of all, how do you compare what "more crimes" is proportionally? Different cou
