This sounds like an application I want to play with. Given a playlist, generate an endless tune based on remixes of all the tracks.

Hmm, of course nicotine itself is stimulating, but this makes me wonder if MAO inhibition might be one of the causes for tobacco smokers seemingly being more communicative? When smoking was still allowed in trains, cars were usually split i

Interesting. I must have missed that smoked tobacco is a MAOI. But it is significant, i.e., noticeable?

Perfect. a replacement for transfer.sh. I use it to make small audio snippets (synthesized speech) available as URL for Sonos to play. With a decent turnaround time, it works to create your own spoken announcements with something like es

The day I have to ask my significant other how to spend money I earn is the day I will quit that relationship. I get that some couples throw everything on a pile and go a pseudo-democratic way of spending things, but I have never understoo

ORF did a documentary about the vienese central graveyard in 2005. The english title was "The Living Graveyard", but I wasn't able to find a link on YouTube. Perhaps too old. It is sometimes re-aired in austria around All

If only Haskell had a prelude more similar to that of PureScript. Insisting on keeping backwards compatibility for didactic reasons is getting very silly after 30 years. The haskell Num class is just ugly. And that is just one example.

Sounds like the typical 80/20 story. I submit the "other" 20% likely have a very similar story to yours, only with the numbers reversed.

synaesthesia is such a cool thing to experience. I am blind and still synaesthetic. It all started out with me realizing as a child that every digit (I later found out it works for small numbers as well) has a dedicated colour. Helped

I hate it when ascii art is placed in images. Sad that the README goes that route, I was actually viewing the page with Lynx and didn't care much for chrome deficiencies... BTW, ImageMagick can export Unicode Braille files. Something

I store all binary data I want to keep around with git-annex these days. It solves integrity checking (you have a hash for every file) and distributed storage. Feels like RAID for layer 7.

It is worse. If you mention that you are not trusting every scientific results per se, you're being labeled as stupid and uneducated . This sort of absolute reasoning is making the distrust even worse. How can you have trust in a

Same here. However, I am assuming you have decent sight, so you can at least protect yourself in certain situation. Me is blind, and I am getting increasingly weary about the future as a pedestrian. As a kid, one of my biggest fears were

Don't use Google. If the Internet is your main bussiness, take it seriously and don't let a third party control your independence. Yes, it is more work, but somewhere down the road that work will pay off compared to your competi

I think it depends on how you work / how much resources you need. Yes, writing much on the SD card is not a great idea, but you can always use a USB stick instead. At least I did use a pi0w as a laptop for a few months. Granted, my

Good excerpt, which reminds me that she had a trembling in her voice that always seemed to be a bit out of character for me. But that said, B5 was one of the best Sci-Fi shows ever, and Delenn was a great character. I miss that show. DId

Mozart is most famous for the ability you describe. I am not soooo sure about Beethoven, esp. since there are stories of him using a sort of bone-contact thing while playing piano.
