When something has been far too bent over in one direction, you often need to push it over the other way to eventually correct it. Holding it in the middle and thinking it will stay put over generations is wishful at best. That's why c

I'd be crazy for a library (any language) to distill a sound file into discrete MIDI notes (or any notation), with configurable threshold levels. Clustering those into different tracks by some unsupervised learning would be a dream.

What really jumps out at me is that before perspective theory was invented the paintings rather look like Ultima Online.

I was half expecting you'd suggest some Far East sci-fi, which I'd love to get acquainted with. On the GP's call for female authors, I'd add Joan Slonczewski, who's also a microbiology book author and professor, and

I'm glad someone else feels this way--I guess it's kind of ironic to name business/corporation software "Humanity". I clicked expecting some charity or NGO, I guess the 'rubs me the wrong way' comes out of

This is great! Would ClojureScript (or other languages compiling down) do?

That's great feedback from both of you, I'm changing that up though it's tricky due to all the media queries and the columns matching up in size, but I'm almost done with this and other improvements. Thanks!

Thanks for reminding of RSS, I'll include it soon enough.

Great idea! I was thinking black & white, high contrast alternative--maybe both--but I'm a sucker for night modes. Says my Emacs and Duckduckgo setting.

Hey, I designed it, and I've felt the pain of low contrast so often yet I guess when you're knee deep making it all look right you lose sight of the forest. I'm uploading a version with more contrast, let's see how peopl

Look into the Bates method, it's natural vision research from an ophthalmologist in the 20s. The argument is that animals (including us) naturally move neck and eyes in exactly tiny little movements literally all the time , non-stop.

When I was around 13 I learned some Visual Basic and started toying around with boxes bouncing around screens. At some point I decided I should better hop on to Visual C++, don't remember what I read to convince me in that direction. I

I guess my bigger point is that if you're someone whose work day involves the dog (a farmer, a policeman, blind people), that's great, "man's best friend" for me is exactly in this sense of the dog thinking of you a

Also, related to series you have a few film directors who command some of that strength. Tarantino comes to mind, though it's an interesting example because there's a sort of common universe underlying the movies. However as you g

Dogs all around the world today live more often than not on small cramped apartment demarcations (or kennels), much like a baby's playpen even though--and as opposed to how owners tend to treat cute ones--dogs are not babies forever. T

Exactly! People want things to come from it so they can finally do all they wanted. Why not do it now? Then adjust your priorities, lifestyle and consuming patterns as to lower both your needs and expectations, and you're less likely t

You feel this way because you think there is a solution to human nature (there isn't) and that your developed country and society have a more admirable morality because their political crimes don't look like blue-collar crimes tha

I'm pretty sure most cultures through the modern period had this shift from fire the creator to fire the destructor. When urban cities were getting crowded and a fire could ravage almost all of London, people were often more terrified

The Google stuff looks eerily like Metro to me, but perhaps flat design with strict guidelines and good principles converge into similar looking aesthetics. I just find "material design" obnoxious, pathological cargo-culting and c

I realize I'm treading into waters of religion discussion here, but if you're a theist who refutes my statement you quoted, then you must dismiss the theory of chaos, does that follow? Since you said you don't believe in fate

Well, if you believe in god, then random numbers must come from him, right? Even in the sense that randomness is deterministic, it's then part of fate which is ruled by whatever supreme power you would believe in. As Luke says in The D

I really didn't try Clojure on Vim, at the time Emacs seemed unambiguously like the authoritative option and it did serve as an excuse for me to jump into Emacs. For Clojure though, I find that Paredit tremendously reduces my need of v

Well, rant and occasional surprise aside, I've found evil-mode to truly be a better implementation of vi than vim itself, at least where it concerns me (as formerly a pretty advanced vim user and plugin developer, it took me some adapt

As much as vim is known as the modal editor, that sounds like you're describing Emacs (I'm using evil-mode instead of vim these days.) Whereas vim has dual-modality as its core, it's very well-defined and self-contained as fa

Anyone who thinks speedreaders like this are a good idea should look into the opthtamologist Bates' research and method. Reading without moving your eyes equals tension and stress on your eyes and related muscles (neck, shoulders.) It&
