If anyone is particularly attuned with making music in DAWs and has never experienced vertically scrolling trackers, I highly recommend checking out any of the Fast Tracker/Pro Tracker derivatives that have popped up for modern hardwar

Can't help but think that the 1996 models look a bit like the old little toy Casio keyboards from back in the day, complete with tinny speakers protected by plastic grating. :-)

Huh, this is not what I expected. Ana Bell is my undergraduate advisor at MIT. I do not think that these choices are particularly the best for someone with no programming or computer science experience whatsoever, as others have said. What

Presumably because whitespace is stripped between command arguments, so something like "KICK <USERNAME>" would be useless.

Don't know if anyone has suggested it here (I'd honestly be surprised if someone hasn't) but Principles of Mathematical Analysis by Walter Rudin, affectionatey known as "Baby Rudin" is a classic book. It's know

Is "Power 9" purposefully a Magic reference? Or just a coincidence?

Is there a more compact or well-defined way to phrase this? Does "elementary" mean that by removing any arbitrary n cells, this structure won't exhibit the intended behavior? Or it won't exhibit any "interesting&quo

If anyone is interested in exploring this style of music in more depth, I recommend looking into "Third Stream" music. It's meant to be a sort of fluid combination of both jazz and classical styles, and is often pretty intere

Anyone at TITS right now? :) Helped set up all day.

This gave me a (stupid) idea. 2D to 3D seems possible to implement reasonably well with enough time and effort, given that it involves taking data and extrapolating it into another dimension -- for example, giving depth to sprites, etc. But

This is the kind of rhetoric and narrative-pushing that give laypeople a skewed image of "robots". Technological optimism is blatantly alive and well in tech circles (that's a whole other problem), but it's sensationalis

I've since updated the article and code on Github to reflect this discssion. Thanks HN as always for teaching me something new.

Do you mean Michael Artin's Algebra? Just took his Algebra I (18.701) at MIT last semester. An incredibly challenging class, but he's a really excellent lecturer and a very likeable guy. Still really sharp.

I actually looked this up after reading this comment. Best I could find after a quick google search was this: http://x86asm.net/articles/uefi-programming-first-steps/ which is certainly not an easy tutorial to fol

Done!

Thanks for giving it a look! You're certainly right about UEFI. I figured it would be easier and informative enough in the long run to just write a simple MBR bootloader instead of an EFI-format one. Either way, it was definitely fun.

I mean realistically it would be best to simply return "unknown location" or something of that nature. But barring that -clearly absurd- idea, set it to some place that's obviously incorrect. I propose the moon.

by joebergeron 10y ago
I get that this is indicative of a bigger issue: default behavior. Choosing to return something as arbitrary as //almost// the center of the US as a default when the location is unknown is pretty universally ridiculous.

"One Crazy Ball In Space That Top Astronomers Don't Want You To Know About!" I can't be the only one who thought the title reeked of clickbait.

Wow. I think what baffled me the most is this: http://i.imgur.com/AUW0C1P.jpg It just doesn't make sense for -so many- reasons. Besides the obvious that the cleaner literally looks identical to a neon-colored children&

Or just use Winamp as your media player (how I miss it so) which has native support for xm, mod, what have you. Or VLC for that matter.

Cute, but nothing really new - still a fun project. And as someone who plays more Dota than is likely healthy: Na'Vi definitely won't win :)
