Tangentially related, but the video game The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time has twelve pieces of different styles and progressions on a melody of only five notes. Dan Bruno did a very nice analysis of the music theory behind the composit

I don't think that it's good vs bad, but that a fundamental part of conservatism is keeping things the same, or returning to some sort of prior tradition. That is going to be more cohesive and consistent by its very definition. It

Because then all your edits have to go directly into the file, so you have no real "save" flow unless you make a swap file for every file and then mmap that (which can be an appropriate approach, to a degree). Then all your cachi

Theoretically, screen readers handle the "semantic web" better than anything else. Divs are used for layout and presentation, and don't convey much useful information about structure most of the time, so div-heavy sites can b

Thanks for the information. I actually don't know that much about the Atari, so I extrapolated from his NES, SNES, and GameBoy knowledge, which is very accurate (the Pokemon sprite videos are incredibly in depth, including a stream of

If you like this kind of article, Retro Game Mechanics Explained is a channel with a lot of really similar retro game console hardware and software breakdowns. It's a really good channel that goes into a lot of detail and has fantasti

You have been misled by Food Inc. I was as well. Reading up on the case and finding out how disingenuous it was really made me angry.

Blender is so cool. I really need to put in the time to actually learn geometry nodes; they seem crazy powerful.

Thanks for the extra info. I'm really looking forward to the fruition of this, and will happily be trying out this current Element Call beta quite soon.

That's the exciting bit for me. I love Matrix, but video and voice being primarily "call" based is painful, when what I really want is a dynamic voice/video room that people can quickly and easily drop in and out of, li

An improvement is an improvement. A flaw of seatbelts is that some people still die when they wear them. That's not a valid argument to not wear seatbelts.

While I agree with the premise of discouraging people from being antisocial assholes, that sort of system is built for bias. Discouraging antisocial behavior is one thing, but other biases might be more destructive then helpful. I think may

Please, let's not build the habit of disregarding ideas because we don't like the mouth they come from. If an idea is good it's good, if it's flawed it's flawed. Ideas should be able to stand or fall by their own me

That sounds quite bad to me. It can happen if you have a virus scanner going crazy on your build target during build (which is a common complaint on Windows, you might have to add your Rust projects to an exceptions list). It can also hap

I do pay for Spotify; still get ads. I support free speech. I don't support treating your paying customers like an ad audience. "free speech" is a weak justification for scummy business practices.

I actually started a trial of Deezer a couple days ago. So far, I'm pretty satisfied with it. I'm going to be moving my Spotify family plan over to it soon. I was pleasantly surprised at the ability to just transfer all my Spotify

It's an adjective. Adobe is bad. ISIS is bad. That doesn't equate the two (or imply that it's the same degree) any more than calling them evil is. Evil is just an adjective that means "deliberately very morally wrong&quo
