With the release of their chicken sandwich, Popeye's had one of the most successful fast food product launches in the past few years. This launch was so successful that nearly every major restaurant chain launched their own chicken san

You can't change Chuck-E-Cheese tokens back into real money. The entire point is that they get all of your real money at the time when you buy the tokens, making it irrelevant whether you use them afterward at all.

I don't understand why new languages ever use the :: notation for scoping. It's hard to type (holding shift for two keystrokes) and visually noisy. Obviously, C++ set the precedent and people are familiar with it. But if you'

The point is that most people cannot tell when the vocal is adjusted to the grid, because if they could, they would be complaining about it on every single vocal track since the 80s. "Auto-Tune" is meaningless if you use it to ref

Pitch correction (in the non-Auto-Tune and non-vocoder sense) is used in literally all commercial vocal recordings. There's nothing really subtle about it. EDIT: This guy is right about both of those tracks using Auto-Tune.

Are you talking about Antares Auto-Tune? Or are you talking about pitch correction with Melodyne or in-DAW pitch tools? Or do you mean finer-grained pitching with vocal track slicing and pitching? Or do you mean splicing together tons of di

Pollan is the naive one. The legalization message is a great one, and IMO pretty reasonable for almost every drug... except modern pharmaceutical opioids. A journalist relaxing with poppy tea and writing about the experience is nice and cut

I use Beyerdynamic DT-880 for music production. They're the only headphones I can wear from morning until night without a headache or ear pain. If you're okay with paying $200 and have an audio interface or amp, it's a great

If I block you, I want it to prevent you from reading my tweets. Obviously you can use a logged-out browser window, but that extra step is supposed to be annoying enough to prevent most non-psycho people from reading your stuff.

In therapy circles and attachment theory land, this is exactly what's supposed to happen when you receive "good enough parenting". Good enough parenting means your parents actually tried and either worked through any of their

Why not? As far as "looking for something to do", preserving a dying language seems a lot more interesting than a lot of other things people do with their spare time.

The sadness of losing a language is distinct from the question of whether it would be better if everyone spoke the same language.

by rogerclark 5y ago
It's only not sad if you live with a completely utilitarian life where art and the beauty of human creation have no value. Why don't we all just listen to one song, wear the same outfit and live in identical homes? Regardless of w

The mental monologue debate is just another case of "what if the red I see isn't the red you see?" There's just no way for you or your friend to prove anything to each other. It's a fun conversation, but you're

Agreed. All of this is completely unprovable in the end.

This is why it's the same thing as "what if the red I see isn't the red you see?" There's no way to prove what you're saying is true in any useful sense.

People love to talk about this stuff because it's the same concept as "what if the red I see isn't the red you see?" but dressed up in more complicated language and with frankly depressing overtones of fixed intrinsic ca

In the span of about 2 years, the Serenity browser has gone from nothing to where it is now. It already supports JavaScript and the canvas API. Do you think you could build this in 2 years? The answer is yes, you could.

The best things are made by people who make them for specific reasons, even if you don't agree with or understand those reasons. Good art is made by including aspects that you want and rejecting those you do not want. In the case of Hu

One thing missing from this list -- and pretty much any mention of open source music tools for some reason -- is OpenMPT: an open-source Windows-based tracker with full VST support. It runs great under WINE. It's a tracker, and not a s

this is highly dependent on region, genre and demographics. every scene has their own tools. in the EDM scene, Pro Tools is regarded as a joke -- absolutely no one uses it, and the impression is that it's for old and out-of-touch peopl
