I hope they DON'T make them like the DX7 anymore. What the article says is true, the DX7 sound dominated pop music for a long time. Many musicians were too uncreative (or perhaps it was too much of a hassle) to change it from the borin

I don't know. There is a certain amount of drudgery that unavoidable in learning mathematics, IMHO. Moreover, looking at the math textbooks of my niece and the students that I've tutored over the years, there's no effort spar

I feel the opposite. Before high school, math is just a grind of memorization and unmotivated manipulation of numbers. Many students (ok, me, but I expect the same was true of others), get turned on to math for the first time when they enco

I read Scientific American from time to time. It's not what the Reason author claims it is. It's a popular, non-specialist science magazine that reaches out to the public (mostly through Dentist's office waiting rooms). It&#x

I think you will be surprised how well stainless works when it has thin layer of fresh oil and preheated to the right temperature such that it passes the "dancing drop" test.

Stainless, when used properly, won't have hard-stuck burnt oil on it. They clean up nicely by just boiling some water in it and then a light scrub-- no need for dishwasher. Worst case-- you've gone too high in temperature for too

A properly seasoned cast iron pan can be non-stick but the temperature has to be right, you need shortening, and you can't just put any amount of food in it at any temperature. Stainless is can do the job too, but temperature and short

I loved cassettes in the 80’s and 90’s. Never could afford anything “hi-if” back then but got to use some stuff as a college radio dj. The best cassette deck ever was the Revox B215, direct drive, all about performance, no nonsense, flawles

Matchbox cars were the best! In particular, they tended to roll much better than Hot Wheels. The "axles" were some kind of fine spring steel. The matchbox cars had noticeably less drag than other brands and rolled farther and more

Interesting stuff, but I don't understand HOW they've done it. There's something called Connectome Annotation Versioning Engine (CAVE). Which appears to be software(?) which allows researchers to examine a dataset and annotat

It's a highly speculative subject, but one source is Roger Penrose's book from the early 90's: "The Emperor's New Mind". Not sure if that's where the hypothesis originated about quantum mechanics and micro
