wow that's great. sounds like maybe i am out of touch. i'd consider all that "widely used", considering it's application. :) aren't there better tools for MIDI/OSC translation though?

i'm not really sure ChucK gets a lot of real use. it seems libraries like overtone have surpassed it in popularity, i assume because of the language accessibility. it has some really interesting concepts built into the language, like t

i'll bet you can customize the hell out of it and use it for pretty much any type of performance. new instruments (electric guitar, computer, etc) enable new types of music but are usually not restricted to that type. i don't see

i'll agree that in order for Github to become the personal CV (and it should!), it needs to account for all use cases (ie. profiles without any popular repositories). but, as a hiring manager, i don't use Github as a measure for c

i have almost 40 repositories. many private (because i don't want them to muddy up my Github image). a single boolean "featured" is terribly insufficient. tagging would be fantastic.

if you only have 1 repository with more than 10 stars, sorting your work seems a like a premature optimization.

who said anything about reducing the filesize by a megabyte? i assumed the EXIF data was maybe a few kb. not sure why i'm being downvoted. i get it, "every little bit" adds up. but here in the real world removing the EXIF dat

"Every little helps" but, does it? i mean it sounds like we're talking about taking a few bytes off a probably Xmb or XXmb image.

for what it's worth http://solvers.io was featured on HN recently and seems quite similar.

law evaluates intent. i'm not a lawyer, but i'm not an idiot either and it's pretty easy to read between the lines here. if the intent is to illustrate security and encryption, there is no reason to invoke "copyrighted m

i'm having a hard time sourcing either side of the argument, but kids learn a ton of shit. an adult learning a language has the benefit of both abstract and pragmatic knowledge of language, having spoken at least one for some time. the

great for them. i worked for an unnamed company who was shipping AWS credentials in clients for years. worse, they were not clients that required a packaged binary (no need to decompile). it's long since patched but i can't believ

i'm not sure i want to invest time shouting into an empty void with a chance someone will hear me to see what it's like. for what it's worth, i hated the removal of the comment scores too and i'm still here.

how can one understand a technical law without a basic understanding of the technology?

i'd have to guess the hardware to some extent, and at least the algorithms applied on top of it, can make a difference in many cases. that is to say, you can probably not eliminate motion sickness entirely in all cases, but without car
