It's simply not true that the main advances in generative art were made in the 50s and 60s and nothing new is being done now. Generative art is a huge, thriving field right now with thousands of communities and subcultures around it, u

I strongly agree with the article's premise! I also agree with this guidepost for how we should be moving music theory past its highly entrenched and institutional attitudes: > We should be asking: what is it that musicians are doin

Most of the time people will argue that vinyl has "warmth" and this makes it subjectively better. This is true, but it's actually because of the pleasing distortion record players add to the music. Being distortion, even if i

44100hz sample rate is enough to reproduce well above the highest frequency even young humans can hear, and 16 bits of depth is enough for 96db of dynamic range, enough to make the noise floor of any consumer system totally inaudible. Stand

Why is this such a common defense for the peculiarities of C++? I see it pop up at least a couple of times, anytime C++ is criticized. I don't have anything against taking pride in one's skill and craftsmanship, but excusing a too

It is more dangerous to be a landscaper, a fisherman, or a truck driver in America, than to be a police officer. Not a joke. Being a police officer is one of the safer professions you can do outdoors or on the road. The risk of the job is a

This signal flow is only backwards if you're left-handed (like a lot of the world). If you're right-handed, imagine you just plugged in your guitar and then tossed the cable off to one side. You probably just chucked it to the rig

I think it's fair to say that most unions have been established as a sole result of proportional human effort, while the same cannot be said for the success of most businesses. There are many instances where an existing imbalance in po

Fun little reminder of why curated webrings only have nostalgic value and were never all that great - the first cooking website that I checked out from here (fitmencook.com) immediately had a fullscreen phishing ad that led to a virus downl

This woman can make a video game in positive circumstances 40 years ago and discrimination against women can still exist in the video game industry today. Those can both be true.

This article isn't even arguing anything about female representation, it's just a historical piece. The way you bring up it being a problem and questioning its merits seems vaguely incendiary in this context and makes me wonder if

You misunderstood the statement. Female representation in video games means female characters _in_ the games. Independent, impactful, and nuanced characters like the protagonist or antagonist. Whether you think representation in video games

George Bush won the popular vote in 2004, just barely. Otherwise the point stands - especially for 2016, where the popular vote for the "winner" Donald Trump was only 46%, a margin of about 3 million people. It was the third most

Worth noting that using `transform` can cause performance issues in some cases, especially if the element being transformed contains many heavy children. This is something that can come back to bite you later on if you rely on `transform` t

'Implied functionality' sounds like another way to say higher-level concepts - something that all languages provide. Just like languages make design decisions on how they manage memory and ownership or how they treat typing, they

Interesting summary and a good read. I would like to know the author's opinion on whether or not women could be more censorious of harmful discrimination due to experiencing more of it in their lives first-hand than men do. And similar

What's the point of casually dismissing this article's premise? Whether the conclusions are fully sound or not isn't the goal of this article, this is journalistic not academic. The goal is to raise awareness of a potential b

I use Linux as my daily driver, and I would agree that unlike the late 90's, it's a fully viable option, for sure. Absolute default for everyone, though? Doesn't seem like it. Not sure if that's what you were saying or n
