My initial reaction when I saw the video was 'Alwin Nikolais' - he's really considered to be the choreographer who first integrated multimedia into dance. e.g. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4KFpcO0f89E (ed

I don't recall that they specifically say it in the credits, but this movie about the French Revolution follows Place of Greater Safety quite closely - https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0098238/ in the sense that

For the example in the text I'd typically just include a one line comment above to show what an example string would look like and leave the code as is # URL with params https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=32963021&am

People generally mention Snowcrash when Bicameral Mind is mentioned, for a good reason - they explore bicameralism in humans and computers. Not usually mentioned is China Mieville who wrote Embassytown where an alien species with literally

Reminds me of the F Scott Fitzgerald story - The Diamond as Big as the Ritz except instead of 3 centuries hiding, it's 5 acres with a big diamond :) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Diamond_as_Big_as_the_Ritz

Bummer, the demo app at https://kg.opendatahub.bz.it/ seems to be broken. The concept sounds like something I could use.

Looks fantastic, will give it a try. One thing I like with SmartAudioBookPlayer on Android is for the sleep timer you can have it give a light chime and then a fadeout period - if you want to extend it you just slap/shake the phone eno

I gave a talk on the use of freeware for non-profits - I titled it tongue in cheek Freshmeat for Vegetarians.

Very cool - I think a nice addition would be to add some common chord progressions, e.g. https://takelessons.com/blog/piano-chord-progressions-z06 as an option at in each scale section. Would help people learning to do

Interesting - I bought Emby this year for serving local media - my one gripe is no thumbnails/preview when you scrub over the timeline - this one has it. Will give it a spin.

I'd highly recommend Embassytown. The interpreter has to deal with a species that has two heads that communicate seemingly independently - bicameral mind indeed!

Funny, I just emailed a link to a Smithsonian article about the Russian Revolution and switched Palace Coup to Callous Poo. Silly fun.
