I'm a long time user of the Arduino IDE for third party boards such as the Teensy. Recently I've switched to Platformio for coding. So I should be satisfied with never needing Arduino's cloud service. But Adafruit points out

I think that since at least from the time jazz began to mature, like maybe in the 1940s, there has been a back-and-forth between crowd-pleasing and dance-able music, and more exploratory and artistic music. The Stan Kenton Orchestra travele

As I mentioned in an adjacent post, I've been playing jazz for nearly 50 years, and have not experienced gatekeeping, except on rare occasion from mediocre players. I've played with pro's, academics, and amateurs. The overwhe

I think that playing any kind of live music requires a bit of a two-way accommodation between the needs of the audience and of the musicians. I don't think it needs to be difficult per se , but there needs to be something in it for th

Gioia even touches on this in some of his writing. One factor that's often forgotten is that Black musicians often couldn't fully capitalize on their own music, or compete effectively, because of Jim Crow. There was a lot of resen

I've been playing jazz as a bassist for nearly 50 years, including with several big-band groups. Today my main band is a big-band, though I also play with a number of smaller groups. Finding repertoire is a perennial challenge. Adding

I suspect more people worked on solving quadratic equations in what I estimate to be the 1000 years since the problem was formulated, to when it was solved. The ancient Greeks knew that they could solve some quadratic equations but not othe

This isn't much more than a factoid, but notice that many of the useful semiconductors are made from elements that straddle the column containing silicon and germanium. Making compounds whose outer shell electrons add up to be silicon-

The voting is the closest thing it has to algorithmic content selection, it's not tailored to each user, there's no advertising, and rage-bate headings are discouraged if not forbidden. By today's standards, it's quaint.

I sold my Studer-ReVox B77 in mint condition to a collector for the price of a new high-quality digital recorder. The thing was sitting in its original carton, barely used. Between the hassle of hauling it around, and the cost of tapes, I n

That's quite possible. I've done a certain amount of it myself. A couple of programs that I wrote for the factory 15+ years ago are being used continually for critical adjustment and testing of subassemblies. All told it's a

For that matter, it could be automated at the source. Let's say I'm an author. I'd gladly run a "linter" on my article that flags references that can't be tracked, and so forth. It would be no different than te

I didn't quickly find the entrance requirements for the OMSCS program and the other similar programs. I know someone who has an undergraduate arts degree and is learning programming and CS voraciously, but not in any organized fashion.
