This is truly a beautifully produced/written/acted series. They are all eminently watchable. My personal favorite episode? White Bear! Please don't google it. Just do yourself a favor and watch it. So good. The series has lot

I hear you. It feels like the male version of https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_lady_doth_protest_too_much... Movements like this are proof that everything creates its opposite. Mutual arising. Some would argue that th

Agreed, with conditions. It is still possible to live in the moment and still have all of the tools that the higher brain functions give you, i.e. planning, forecasting. The key is to plan in the present, then do the next thing and the ne

The former gambler following the master was obsessed with gambling and drinking. After meeting the master he became obsessed with enlightenment. Does either obsession make him a good husband or father? Perhaps he will return one day, fully

It's good to remember that "globally" we are a huge collection of individuals. Perfect individual == perfect globe (ideally, of course).

The amazing thing to me is that at WWDC, Tim Cook (I think that's who announced it) seemed genuinely thrilled that there are over 2,000,000 apps for iOS. So sad and useless. You could hear the barely contained horror of the assembled d

Wouldn't it follow that the "simulators" are also simulated, ad infinitum? (see: "turtles all the way down" comment) Certainly, no matter how far you go back, the simulations are "real" in the sense that t

ccrush, this is a good comment, but I found it really hard hard to read due to the lack of paragraph breaks. You can add breaks when commenting here by leaving a blank line (double enter) between paras. Apologies if you knew this already. L

I think it's worth mentioning that Windows really still isn't ready for "retina" prime time. Setting a > 100% scaling results in all kinds of GUI horror all over the place, especially in 3rd party apps. Things are bet

I was self-taught as well. Back in '82 I was an in-house illustrator at a children's book publisher. The company (now defunct) brought in Apple IIs in order to do some house-branded educational software. I fell in love with the li

Agreed. I think variety is the key. I also have a herniated disc (L4/L5) and need to get up every half-hour or so for a quick walk. Works wonders.

IPhone 6s, the image dragging works, but only the first picture is displayed. The selector doesn't appear. IPad Air, works perfectly. Image selector appears and you can switch images. Dragging works as expected.

Your starred comment beautifully allowed you to knock down your own strawman. Nicely done. :D It is worth looking at his comment with the "red" filters removed. The point is that every game has winners and losers. You actually c

I can vouch for this model. Works great. I think it gets the guide over ethernet. It comes with a jack for that, or you can get an optional wireless USB dongle. The interface is decent, nothing great, but better than most cable provided box

You have to give yourself the time and space to settle into "The Zone." Obvious stuff: minimize distractions and interruptions. Allow the problem before to assemble itself and present itself to you. Then you become a scribe, worki

So excellent. It's a bit akin to a visual version of a Melotron.

I really agree with all of this. Small, related rant: It is really sad to me that any artist that works primarily in a medium meant to be reproduced (printmaking, illustration, and probably now digital art), is immediately and automatically

Yes, thanks. I'm a little embarrassed to say that I missed the search box, with it's very understated placement and size! ;-) I knew that there had to be a simple answer. Much appreciated.

Same here 3 of 6. I always spotted the 128, but the others were a coin toss. This was on an iPad (chrome browser) with Bose over-ear phones.

I don't think this is actually true. The software supports a very rudimentary type of "pressure sensitivity" that (i think) is based on the capacitive area of the rubber tip. Maybe this can still be considered "active?&q

I went to one of the early ones, back in '87 or '88. While we were there, they gave us a copy of the game Alice, that one of the original Mac team had written. I still have the game and the box! http://www.folklore.org&

If you are convinced that you are doing what you want to be doing, then you need to respectfully disregard the inner voices that are impeding your ability to work in the present effectively. In the creative world, these voices are sometimes

Good points. Thanks. I guess it's inevitable given the free (as in, subscription free) nature of web content. Heck, even paying a subscription to the NYT doesn't opt you out of seeing their ads, unless you take matters into your o
