Heh, great article! One of those engineering efforts where you're trying to get to the point where the user doesn't notice any of the fancy math, just that the controls always seem to Do the Right Thing.

Honestly, I normally wouldn't answer a question that sounds like an invitation to an increasingly bizarre thread with a paranoid person either. I'll be dipping out of this conversation after this reply.

No ... it's really not a giant conspiracy. You're just guilty of being a jerk on a very public website which doesn't take kindly to jerks. I've downvoted all of your comments on this thread because they are completely un

From the linked paper: 'Gunther Schuller (b. 1925), an influential horn player, writes: “The timpani’s spreading wave-lengths back up through the horn, violently jarring the player’s lips. Under these conditions split notes abound and

This is great too! Being able to draw nice straight lines with a tablet pen might debatably be even more useful than drawing a perfect circle.

The funny thing was that the author apparently used multiple sources, and has different import figures from the article as a result. But they didn't spot the order-of-magnitude error in the campaign cost.

Honestly, really disappointing, especially since the author forces you to watch the video to see the final image - which looks nothing like the shoulder-spiked, triple-forehead-eye'd villain of the game. Spoiler, the generated image is

This Twitter thread is mostly a summary of this article, which provides more detail, albeit maybe in a less easily digestible (ha!) form: https://medium.com/torodex/salmon-sushi-is-not-a-japanese-in... The thread is ac

For the downvoters, I'm going to paste the definition from the dictionary: feminism (noun): the belief that women should be allowed the same rights, power, and opportunities as men and be treated in the same way, or the set of activit

You have an incredibly screwed up impression of feminism. It's literally a movement that seeks to gain equality for women. That's it. Gaining dignity is a large part of the movement! There's no feminist creed that says "

Matching an arbitrary string with '*' is not a regular expression - it's a shell glob pattern. Different thing entirely. Maybe they should be the same thing, yes. And although I don't know for sure, reusing a matched pat

It took rather a long time - a couple of minutes - to re-encrypt all my passwords, which presumably is why they didn't do it on login. But yeah, a notification sure would have been nice!

I will never upvote something without at least skimming it. Mostly I finish articles then return to HN to upvote them, but occasionally I upvote after leaving the article partway (e.g. because I already know about the subject, or because th

This really isn't true. I lived a pretty active life for a decade or so, as a drummer in various drum groups (samba, etc). I was well-liked, people knew my name and seemed to enjoy hanging out with me, and I had some decent conversatio
