Not sure what's out there for pop music, but for jazz iRealPro is indispensable. Thousands of chord charts for jazz standards are available on their forums (which is linked within the app) and the it can do playback, including the abil

The positive trend starts in April, so maybe it's something to do with the Ubuntu 16.04 LTS release.

Check out Bitwig, it's very similar to Ableton. That said, I can't recommend it right now as it's still quite buggy. Worth keeping an eye on if you want to get off Windows though.

I was really frustrated by this for a while. There were some instructions on the Spotify website about re-installing the app when the SD card was plugged in, but it never seemed to work for me. Recently they added the ability to explicitly

The only way I could imagine it, is if it was describing a much smaller bus than we're currently used to, which I think he also mentions.

I used to copy my friends' Amiga games, and by far the trickiest was one of the Worms games. The code book was black paper with glossy black text, making it almost impossible to scan or photograph. I settled on figuring out the most fr

Almost every link I follow from Google to SO results in a "closed as offtopic" question. Usually the question has the exact answer I was looking for (I guess that's why its pagerank is high).

The two approaches work well together in my experience. Mindfulness makes you more aware of what's really happening (detrimental rumination) and CBT techniques help take the sting out of the negative thoughts once they are recognised.

To be influential, something has to be popular or at least known about amongst creators. From my experience in game development, almost everyone I worked with knew about Dwarf Fortress, and a good chunk of them had played it at least once.

It's called the Bystander Effect, and the most disturbing thing about it is that its strength is in proportion to the number of people present. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bystander_effect

I'm from Scotland, "Scottish" sounds right to my ear in this instance. "Scots" is a proper dialect, the one used by Burns, and is not widely spoken any more. "Scottish English", in my experience, is usuall

It's not the most eloquent phrasing. I think what they're trying to say is "People find legalistic tax-dodging unethical, and they're sick of rich people and big companies getting away with it."

There's been a lot of effort recently (past 5 years at least) on making sensors ever more sensitive to low light levels. This is great for taking pictures indoors, at night, and for astrophotography.
