That's right, it simply means "cannot read and write" - but that's my point .. even in spite of the fact that the end assembly process was being done by folks who could not read/write (most of the time) they were st

I started the "Oric User Group" in Perth, WA, in 1983. We met about 6 times, each time mostly spent trading tapes. I had a dual-cassette boombox that was seriously pushed into service, and we also had "type-a-thons" wh

Also living in Europe, I find myself in awe of this fact quite often. There was a time when 'high technology' meant, knowing how to cut stone in such a way that it could be transported and assembled by an illiterate mob into a va

Seems like a great thing to model with a modern AR app .. this and the Antikythera mechanism might be viable IAP's.

Isn't there an aspect of Mormonism that intends for its saints to one day rule their own planets? I find that kinda cool, honestly.

Its Heavens Gate and Raëlism that want the spaceships to land. Scientologists seem to just want them to be left buried in the mountain fortresses, unused.

An artist friend of mine is using this technology in an interesting way .. she's drawing regular street portraits of people she meets, and then using that as the seed to generate new pictures of people who do not exist. It has produced

Ubuntu Studio user checking in .. REAPER on Ubuntu Studio is simply the highest performing DAW around. Nothing comes close.

Ubuntu Studio doesn't need to be compiled from scratch either, but easily provides better performance specs than MacOS out of the box.

Professional audio producers and musicians can just as easily gain a high-performance DAW by using Ubuntu Studio, out of the box. My system thus configured, runs REAPER far better than the MacBook or Windows machines that are in the studio

Like others, I'm finding that audio latency on Linux surpasses that of MacOS, easily. I am using Ubuntu Studio with Firewire-based audio interfaces, 50+ channels of digital audio - Linux definitely performs better than my MacOS system

All kinds of things. Mis-configured project defaults, typo's, additional formatting/UI tweaking, really a lot of productive things can be done in less than 6 minutes. Different strokes for different folks - just because you don&#

Pretty simple: 6 minutes is the minimum default for time tracking in my realm, per contract. Clients don't want multiple entries for 30 seconds or 2 minutes here and there - instead, we report in 10th's of an hour. I quite often

Please make it usable from the keyboard. Nothing irks me more than to have to mouse-wrangle things around to track my time, which I do in 6 minute increments, so it can get frustrating. If I have a way to switch tasks by keyboard, I'm

The credit card machines are probably set up to prompt the waiter for a tip. This is a common feature on POS systems, regardless of whether its sold in USA or Turkey.

Driving appeals, very much, to the ego. Having freedom and control over a physical system that is bigger and more powerful than you, is a liberating experience for those whose spirit is used to a smaller, lighter frame. Car manufacturers kn

When a German street name is synthesised using English settings, its a proper butchering. Just not good at all. I want the instructions in English - but I want the place-names in the native language. This is the only sensible way, yet non

My personal pet peeve: using the wrong language for the region. So, I'm a native English speaker - but I'm driving around Germany. Give me the names of the streets in German only - NOPE. Still can't find any way to fix this

Pico8 is hardly representative of what's great about Lua. Its a fantasy console, designed to be limited. If you want to understand the Lua love, check out some of the other game frameworks like Cocos2D, MOAI, or Godot .. I've use

Thanks for your hard work leafo! As a huge fan of Lua I'm always bumping into your contributions to the language and tools .. Do you have some place where you organise your thoughts and make plans for Moonscripts' future?

I use "Boil the Frog" to find new music - just put in two diverse artists that are already in your playlist, and it'll make a playlist connecting the two. Just make sure you take the most diverse artists in your existing libr

In Germany, pharamceutial companies use young attractive women to pimp their products to doctors, and its not uncommon for doctors to be visited 7 or 8 times a month by these representatives. It should be noted also, that prostitution is le

>I don't think it's processing power What I mean is that, if they have to reformat their internal struct to conform to a standard, they don't have the processing power to do this munging. Not that they'd care, as you

MIDI 1.0 supports polyphonic pressure and aftertouch messages - just not a lot of keyboard manufacturers supported it, since its pretty processor intensive - not to send, but to sense...

(Disclaimer: been working in synth industry for decades now..) Most SYSEX dumps are just dumps of the plain ol' structs that the synth engines are using to drive their output. A lot of synths don't have the processing power to do
