I found one these all-in-one units out on sidewalk and thought I had scored a cool freebie. It was nearly new. Now I know why they threw it away. Total garbage and bricked without that HP+ subscription. Can't use the scanner because th

The worst health advice and most conspiratorial food theories usually come from other tech folks in my workplace. The comments here seem to reinforce that.

As an artist and technologist living in Europe, I am glad to see a comment like this. It's refreshing. An open-minded and incremental approach to culture can be incredibly rewarding. https://berlinartgalleries.de/

Inkscape, Audacity, and ffmpeg. I know professional designers don't like Inkscape for UI and path limitations but I have gotten used to it and can use it effectively.

There was not a single example of someone actually selling plasma, personal belongings, or living in their car to survive. The Bay Area technology sector has a huge variety of "tech jobs". The ones mentioned here are tech adjacent

Chemotrophs (specifically chemolithotrophs) are bacteria that thrive near super heated deep sea vents. They can consume (oxidise) iron, sulfur, and a whole range of other elements and compounds we consider toxic or immutable. In return they

Geometric abstraction was advanced by Russian abstract painters from 1910-20 or so. Look for constructivism and supremism. They are much closer to what you are exploring than cubism. That early abstraction was looked down on after the Russi

2000-2003 had groundbreaking visual experimentation. It was such an interesting time to be making things on the web. Flash is rightfully derided for technical reasons, but I saw some incredible art and animations made with it. That kind of

This process has an interesting history. In 1937, Russian engineer Evgeny Murzin created a photoelectronic synthesizer that used images on glass plates to play music. It was called the ANS synthesizer and was used for the soundtrack of the

I'm an American living in Berlin. I do a fair of amount of photography here and have some perspective to offer. An important part of the privacy laws is the prohibition on sharing on social media. Even if you can legally take a photo,

Playtronica synths. They are touch-based sound generators that can be triggered with capacitive connections. You can make keyboards out of fruit. You can have 3 kids hold hands to form a connection that makes a funny sound. I have seen them

It is surprisingly helpful on old legacy projects with multiple contributors. It will imitate their code style and variable naming, even if outdated or poorly constructed. Saves time looking through spaghetti code to figure out why some fun

I disagree with that completely. You are arguing for a surrender of personal power and self-determination. It's a short journey between 'luck' as a concept and fate, magic, religion, or just random occurrence. If that's

This kind of pessimism seems to come when people want to justify surrender. Why bother trying another path if there are no second chances, right? Now in middle age, I have found the 100s of small choices we make to be just as important as a

Yeah I was totally wrong about that. But, they are NATO and part of a whole range of economic partnerships. My main point is that lots of Turks are trying to move to Berlin and work in tech. OP will have a lot of competition.

Turkey is a member of the EU and is considered part of Europe in certain contexts. But, I assume you meant another European country. The main thing to consider is how many others are making the same move you are. There is a lot of migration

Cool place, but it doesn't show the work of individual artists in a rotating basis. It's more of a permanent museum. Also, they don't list the names of anybody involved in the games themselves, only brands. If games are art t

I moved to Berlin for the art scene. When trying to research galleries to visit or catch up on new exhibits, the number of bad websites was overwhelming. Over 300 sites to slog through. It took a long time just to navigate all the GDPR cons

Who says magicians are artists? I have never heard anyone say that. But, I guess if we're calling people "prompt engineers" then these superlatives don't mean much anymore.

Nobody who lives in Berlin is saying this. The people who go to clubs are much more concerned about A100. It's a local highway that is set to be expanded through the districts that clubs are located. Many clubs will have to close if it
