Interesting gamification of music. Inherently inaccessible though, as will be most (pseudo-)AR that is coming up. I prefer playing with the real thing, there is really nothing more fun then a hands-on synth: https://www.youtube

This hopefully taught her an important lesson: NEVER, NEVER trust journalists. However, her reaction was pretty inmature and is not acceptable IMO.

Learning about the "Vertrauensgrundsatz" (principle of trust) is an essential part of gaining a drivers license where I come from. Essentially, you learn that some humans can not be trusted to make the proper decisions. Obviousl

The artifical sound, which isnt mandatory yet where I life, doesn't help to minimize danger IMO. A car is way faster then I would be able to react.

The Pro and Premium plans seem to have a JSON export. "We allow you to export your data only if you pay enough." Hmm.

This reminds me to be afraid as a blind pedestrian in this modern world of automated danger. I still remember it took me a while as a kid to begin and trust that drivers would actually see me. I think I will never trust that self-driving

My main criticism about Alexa at least boils down to bad usability. To me, it feels like learning a bunch of magic spells by heart. It feels so awkward. I am used to exact commands as a long-time CLI user. However, when it comes to spee

All the "wealth" I have results from my own income. And my "power" simply doesn't exist. Although I think these sort of comparisons are pretty useless, I am sure there are a lot of black people with more power then

Interesting. I remember having written an email to Donald Knuth about 15 years ago. And, surprise surprise, I got a reply! In retrospect, my question was extremely naive. However, I am still thankful for a honest answer.

I am white, granted. However, I have no extraordinary power nor am I really wealthy. Pushing these buttons, implying that I should be guilty for what I am, is only increasing the divide between the races. Accusing me of playing an acitve p

I wish you could leave religion out of your analysis. It would make it much easier to believe you.

Sorry, I have to disappoint. I know at least one person IRL who believes a number of pretty weird things. Know him since school. Almost freaked me out when he told me he builds a cloudbuster for his backyard to protect against chemtrails

Thanks. Regarding relationships, I have all the luck I need. Setting boundaries for what is acceptable and healthy was one of the most important things in my life. Actually, I feel sorry for you since you seem to think you have to tolerat

Have you ever had to watch your parents fight over nonsense? Nope, sorry, I disagree. Why should kids be any happier if their parents stay together and fight all the time?

Sorry, but this sounds like unhealthy to me. The day I need an external person to deal with the arguments in our relationship is the day I end that relationship. There are many females on this planet. No need to bend over backwards to make

I personally think politicians first and foremost need to try and restore trust in them by the people. I think the biggest reason for people to not vote these days is that they have already heard and seen confirmation for far too many lies

"influencing the votes of other people" should probably be illegal, given the discussion about alledged mass manipulations on U.S. elections.

You mean like when ethernal october hit, the internet was doing something right to attract all these wonderful people? Just because the masses like something doesn't mean it is good.

The UX made me quit reddit. I delt with it (with a screen reader) for a few months. Then, I submitted a PR on GitHub to improve the accessibility of the site (just a very small addition). Then my PR got ignored for a few months. So I co

Well, almost everyone who starts a sentence with "I guarantee that" is bound to turn up as a failure.

No. Jonesforth is originally written for i386 Linux. Porting to x86-64 didn't really change a lot about the environment.

Almost right. At the end of the exercise, I at least wrote TIME&DATE, a word to get the current system time. And I implemented DO..LOOP which appeared to be quite tricky. But yes, I agree. Getting the system to run was much more int

I recently took up the challenge of porting JonesForth to x86-64. It was one of the most rewarding personal challenges in a very long time. For one, I was able to write x86-64 without needing to whip up a complete application. And learni

There should be no mercy for those that spend their free money on addictions. My father spent almost all the money he received for my disability on alcohol and god know swhat. 100k gone down the drain. That money could have kickstarted m
