Ah, Tascam 4-track tape recorders, brings the memories flooding back. I studied Music Technology for one of my A-Levels (blends performance, composing and recording versus a traditinal A-Level in music which is performance and composing). T

When the transition to digital was starting I was relatively young, and idly thought "Surely someone bould put a digital sensor into a film form factor to convert cameras. Lo and behold, a few decades later someone's done it!

It's not at all. If someone was sitting there going "Oooh, jqpabc123 is into anime" then maybe. There are paid alternatives now, if you want to opt out of what allows them to offer search for "free" then go use thos

GarageBand - it's super quick to throw something together, has a wealth of virtual instruments and the user interface is in the same vein as professional DAWs, so there's a growth path if this is something kids enjoy and want to p

Cool. Now, how are you going to report CSAM to NCMEC, or human trafficking to law enforcement as per Sesta-Fosta? And then how are you going to ensure you don't provide content rabbit holes that can be harmful to mental health. Then de

For me it's sim racing - for other people it's exercise apps, for educational users it's immersing students in ancient Greece. Sim racing is amazing in VR - I got instantly faster, able to judge distances better, and the imme

I have a similar story - a local strip mall allows parking for 2 hours, no return within 4 hours. They enforce this with ANPR cameras - only - sometimes you're inching out of the strip mall and bumper to bumper ... so it doesn't r

The Ariane 5 launch failure[1] was a similar issue, albeit with a more spectacular outcome. Primary suffers integer overflow, fails. Secondary is identical, which also overflows. Angle of attack increases, boosters separate. Rocket goes boo

I remember learning Prolog during my degree in AI + Comp Sci about 25 years ago. Our NLP module used it heavily. It was frustrating and annoying at first, but once you get comfortable, surprisingly fun (and also a great intro to recursion,

And hence - use random hand counted samples for verification. But nobody has proven that the dominion machines changed a single thing, in fact, the hand recount in Georgia showed as much. Which is why the "election fraud" claims t
