I have had this idea pitched to me many times over the years, with requests to build a simple prototype practically forced into my dev queue .. but I always resist it. The last time someone tried to convince me this was a good idea was just

I think the point where we diverge is that this is a good thing : >everyone can do exactly the same thing exactly the same way now, for the same time cost. It doesn't have to be cool. It just has to work.

It was 1994. We're a 2-man crew, about to start one of America's biggest ISP's. We'd just gotten the closet cleared, the racks assembled, the modems installed, the terminal server wired up, the USENET machine booted, and

I think its easy to criticise vibe-coded work, if you're into programming for the sake of programming. But if you're into programming for the sake of the user , none of this matters. For me, I appreciate the clean, complete docum

My favourite of these, is onions. So darn useful. Kid got an earache? Chop up an onion, wrap it in a towel, bind the towel to the kids ear. 30 minutes later, no more earache. There are tons of these.

Same, been doing this since the start of the web. I have decades of web pages I've found interesting over the years, and its all offline/local searchable and will be there for me when the grid goes down. I'm part-way through

Lived in Asagaya for a year .. this sure brought back memories. I'd often walk to Koenji for the nightlife .. what a wonderful neighborhood. I remember the beautiful moments in summer when the school jingle played out over the region

The point is, you ARE responsible for the politicians that govern you.

Doesn't seem to work as intended - in the "Gather Quick Details" example form, if I change any value, that change is not updated in the results column. Am I missing something?

They do, if they don't elect someone better. Apathy towards politics is how we get bad politicians. This has been proven throughout history.

Very interesting article, and quite fun for those of us with a penchant for 8-bit aesthetics and retro-computing roots. One thing that came to mind while reading this, was: isn't this just a human digital manifestation of Mother Nature

I have built many CI/build-servers over the decades for various projects, and after using pretty much everything else out there, I've simply reverted, time and again - and, very productively - to using Plain Old Bash Scripts. (Of

I can buy a small Eurorack module box for 25eu, including power supply and handles. So .. I dunno .. just seems like with a bit of extra design work, Ashet could become Eurorack compatible at least, for those of us who want to hack it into

You can say all of this of drug-oriented seekers of superpowers, too. Trust the SSRI cult much? It just seems to be a human condition that whenever anyone tries to find a way to improve themselves and others, there will always be other hum

By way of anecdotal counterpoint, I've got a teenage trainee apprentice working in my lab who can indeed read the RP2350 datasheet and describe what its doing and how to use it effectively in other applications. I don't think thin

Considered the effort required to add Lua support to the platform? At least eLua would fit and probably provide a great environment for onboard development (i.e. non-crosscompiling...)

Actually this thing would be a lot sexier if it were in fact complying with Eurorack standards, imho. There's no better environment to be dropping an alternative computing platform than directly into the rack alongside the rest of the

The RP2350 is one hell of a tool, and I've seen it being used to solve some extremely thorny problems with great success. So I'm pretty sure there are plenty of folks who understand whats going on, especially if they approach thei

Out of curiosity, why would the bells be ringing in this case? Is it just the fact that a single person is exerting influence over their followers by way of essays?

My first 'real computer' was a MIPS Magnum pizzabox RC3230, which I later upgraded to an SGI Indy, and I've been an SGI fanboy every since, having kept every SGI machine I've ever hacked on, from the Indy to an Octane2 a
