Very nice work! There seem to be some issues for me with the lower strings on guitar: the low E registers as a B, for example. Higher strings seem to work well though. Not totally sure what's going on, but could probably be attributed

Same here. I had actually thought they were not planning to continue it, but when I went to check on that I was (pleasantly) surprised to see this release. I had a ton of fun making some interactive tools for an one gaming community back i

It seems to me that the perception of boringness can come as a result of earnestness being very niche/focused. Your example is a great one! But if anybody who is not a fan or doesn't know Borges, they would probably find a person

You'd still have to deal with the glare and chromatic aberration from the mirror sheets. Also the area covered would still be confined to the size of one sheet and you'd have to make a "bank" of them to cover any reasona

Whoa, this is very cool! I will definitely give it a spin on the desktop. Does it support any of the extensions like tags/folders?

I've been a heavy Standard Notes user for a couple years now, and the added function of Zettlr looks extremely appealing to me (images, linking, much nicer rendering, etc.). However, to really give this a test drive to see if it's

Right, I think most staircases I've seen in castles have required you to go clockwise when ascending. This means the attacker's sword hand would be pretty constrained!

I’m currently preparing a data visualization course to be taught this fall, and I would love to hear more about this! If you’d be willing to share some of those resources or the contact information for your professor, I’d really appreciate

Agree wholeheartedly. That's exactly the approach I take, but the problem of course is that 1) it's difficult to do successfully, and 2) students "freak out" because the exams become unpredictable and they end up getting

Isn't the whole point of OP one giant "it works flawlessly - except for xxx" post? Except in this case, the xxx is a much more seriously negative experience compared to a couple small up-front issues with getting hardware set

I totally agree. You should definitely be able to A/B test features, for instance, but if that's the point where the business is, you can run focus groups and do similar studies without running up against these regulations. My poi

Wrt the laws benefiting incumbents with more resources: in this case I think it’s simple. If you don’t have the resources, just don’t collect the data! If your business model absolutely depends on it, then you should have the resources to d

I’d also point out that you can adjust the “speed” of army movement — at least in TW: Warhammer — so that if they’re moving more quickly, like a forced march, they are less likely to spot hidden or sneaking armies. This does leave the mecha

Almost makes me wonder if it's deliberate, as in some quid pro quo agreed upon, implied, or otherwise, between the US and Chinese presidents. Though what the US gets out of it is unclear, I wouldn't be shocked.

Agreed. "Basic web presence" is important, but there are a ton of businesses that could benefit from and desire small, custom, web-features. I spent some freelance time in this space, making about $75-100 per hour of pure profit,
