One of the other videos on his channel is literally “256 colors is enough for anyone”, which is one of the commandments of TempleOS, so your flashbacks are well-informed ;-)

I love this. Such a perfect web presentation for a man who has both experimented with cutting-edge technology (e.g. drum machine, vocoder and synclavier in 1981, the ill-fated Pono player) and been a near-luddite in his approach to digital

A fellow Pownce user in the wild! Incredible to think that was 10 years ago. I feel like that app was years ahead of its time — the casual immediacy of Twitter without the character limits, the ease of sharing media like an internet-wide Hi

Well, speaking of software… I assume LaTeX-to-HTML is the reason this formatting is so horrendously screwed up? It’s even mirrored in your copy-pasted text (“the  rst time”, “ She exh orted me:” “any ofour friends”, etc). I tried Safari an

Looks really nice! I just played back a 1080p / 5.1 AC3 file, a 4K 5.1 DTS-HD file, and an audio ALAC file completely seamlessly. Only complaint so far is the playlist sidebar slid in from the side with every new track, obscuring 1&#x2

God, Mission Starlight was so great. I also played that on my Dad’s office Mac :-) He had a greyscale display for a long time, and I still remember the amazement of getting a color monitor and discovering Mission Starlight was in color , t

Every one of The Engineer Guy’s videos are a spectacular insight into the immense complexity of everything around us, and a beautiful demonstration in how to make that complexity both fascinating and understandable. It’s often quite a while

Honestly, depending on your age, that still could be “golden” — I’m 31, I’ve taken very good care of my hearing, I’m very acutely aware of audio subtleties, and my hearing range tops out around 16.5KHz. The so-called standard upper limit of

If they haven’t already updated the website, it’s priced about $5000 more than a comparable-spec Model S: https://twitter.com/elonmusk/status/639170376186990592

Well, Kato is really the Green Hornet’s Valet/Sidekick, like a combo of Alfred + Robin for Batman.

Terrific list, thank you! I have pretty good absolute pitch, and can hear songs play in my head just like the real thing (I often wear headphones that aren’t connected to anything and just “listen”), but I never thought to make the connecti

in the process learning about architecture, collaboration, resource management, economies of scale, and oh yeah, the ability to create a full Turing machine… if this comment was supposed to be disparaging, you’d need a different example ;-)

Hi Someone1234! Happy to answer, and sorry for the long-delayed reply, hope you still see this and it’s not too wall-of-text-y. A slight misconception/communication here; I actually attended Red Cedar School from age 5 to 18 (when I gr

If you feel like reading a semi-long and excellent interview transcript, this is pretty comprehensive for a “bird’s eye view”: http://www.sudval.com/01_abou_09.html

Hi David — I’m pretty sure I’ve met you in person at some point :-) Red Cedar decided to change just after I graduated in 2002, from a true Sudbury school to “heavily influenced by Sudbury philosophies”, dropping high school ages in the pro

Most of my entire K–12 education was with a “Sudbury Model” school, The Red Cedar School in Vermont, of which my mother was a founding member. I grew up steeped in the intense and (frequently) heated discussions of educational practices, ch

More specifically, timing to film frames, since 48kHz gives you 2000 samples per film frame (at the standard 24fps film speed).

This exists in a few synths, and is included in Apple’s Logic Pro for software (MIDI) instruments as “Hermode Tuning” ( http://www.hermode.com/html/hermode-tuning_en.html ) It’s a really unusual experience using it, beca

I honestly cannot grasp how this could be a “predictor” of religious belief. Being confused by confusingly-crafted math-ish questions does not mean the rest of the world is perceived as a mystery too, and therefore religion is the answer to

The Exploratorium in San Francisco also has a vapor tank that shows cosmic rays and radioactivity—it’s mesmerizing.

Emacs, at least on OS X, has “level 5” in its games as “5x5”, including the “how many moves has it taken so far” counter. I couldn’t beat that, and once I got to level 5 here, I couldn’t beat this! Someday I’ll finally figure it out… Screen

No, they address that in their FAQ. They found no difference in use for right or left-handed people. Hooray from a fellow leftie!

Since this has the scanlines “baked in”, just be sure to disable Cathode’s own emulation or it’ll be pretty ugly.

This font even takes into account the imprecision of analog scanlines — the lines that make up the characters are subtly rounded. It’s a very enjoyable font, though a bit impractical :-)

by rubberbandage 12y ago
Yes it does! Preferences -> Font, and under “Modern”, it will let you use any monospaced font.

There’s a particular conundrum that makes 3D difficult, and that’s the frame rate. Broadcast TV (which we perceive as smooth and life-like) is 60 half-resolution frames per second—standard film is 24fps, 2.5 times less temporal information.

“Before the end of the year” is important in this case not for holiday sales, but for 2013 tax reasons. I doubt even seriously rich people would be buying this as a gift ;-)

So that’s what that was, it drove me crazy! I would workaround it by selecting all or a quick page scroll down/back up. Just tested a bunch of many-replied reddit comment threads to great success! It’s the little things :-)
