>But then, if you drop out an algorithm that does that, handle it to users, would their results be art ? in the same respect, did someone not create art in photoshop because they used some fractal noise? I've had this conversation a

Yeah, it wasn't that helpful. In the last few weeks they made it so you can right click on a page once opened in a container and "always open in this container"

They're hard to see because of their coat, move quickly and erratically and they're pretty much all muscle. I'm not surprised they get hit as often as they do particularly at night.

I'm guessing the difference between this and something like pepakura ( http://www.tamasoft.co.jp/pepakura-en/ ) is it doesn't use cuts?

They're both very flawed in different ways. Blogs have have plenty of incentive to be quick, but not correct. From time to time they have incentive to be incorrect too. An apology, retraction, etc is just more ad revenue at the end of

Totally with you, season 2 is my least favorite. But it's also not immediately clear the direction the show is taking at that point. As each season expands in scope and by the end you feel like you've watched the story of a city y

I've ended up just moving the messenger into a fluid (osx) window on my status bar and not having the site in my browser all the time has helped a lot. Being able to pop down just the messages with a click and back off straight after m

When the first tab on your website is "Privacy", don't make "Read notifications" the default. From the http request you're taking all kinds of metadata to your server. I don't want to add my PGP key in her

There is some interesting visualizers out there but all the REALLY interesting work is being done live and in realtime as performance (VJ'ing) instead. Take a look at this. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sruWLKzgZ3w U

I'd say they're not crap because they're Chinese. Cheap is top of most peoples wish list when shopping and China can do cheap. Cheap tends to be the enemy of quality.

I'd probably take a look at Touch Designer or Unity for sound reactive stuff now. Keijiro Takahashi at Unity Japan has a great github repository full of relevant libraries. https://github.com/keijiro

Some of that gear may be worth more than you might expect. The V4s still sell quite well for some reason, some of the other analog gear is still in demand for circuit bending. If the projectors are decent they can still hire pretty well too

This is exactly where I'm stuck right now. Using a hackintosh for mapping/vj'ing as the off the shelf hardware isn't at all practical and I want to keep using OSX only software. Honestly it's a nightmare. I want as

> Facebook and Google are evil, and we must stop them. I agree and usually we don't have a good and approachable open alternative to push. I genuinely think matrix and riot.im tick all the boxes this time though.

issue seems to have stopped after a full refresh, was having it earlier on two machines (10.11 and 10.12). Perhaps the earlier fix also solved that one too.

thanks, that has fixed the firefox download page/login issues. On Safari your google/facebook login options aren't working either. App itself looks very promising though :)

Octane is the only real example of this I can think of. Nearly every other tool I use is openCL.
