WP's a lot more daunting than it used to be for a newcomer. Every now and then I see an article where someone came along, dumped in a bunch of text (unique if not original), and ran away from merging it. They could really use a hand-holdi

Take a look at ChucK's baby brother 'miniAudicle' if you just want to try the water. It's fun ... you'll have sound in a couple minutes! http://audicle.cs.princeton.edu/mini/ For a book on theory try "Computer Music" by Dodge & Jerse.

I've read bios and/or seen interviews with a lot of famous older people. Invariably they mention that the best things in their lives were not about money at all. Just today I was reading that Edith Hamilton ('Mythology') was happiest about

Taking on a lot of debt to finance an education is never a really good idea - unless you can afford the risk. If the market for your training goes sour, or you never meet the right people, or you become disillusioned with the position you t

I like the idea of programs (and machines) that are lean and mean. (Dinosaurs were big too.) There's something really satisfying about a few lines of code that replace a hundred.

While the founder might not be a techie, if a new business in a traditional field could get a leg up on the establishment by the adoption of emerging, appropriate technology, that might be worth considering. Woz was the techie. Steve Jobs w

Agreed that F.U.D. is old-fashioned/crude compared to reason/responsibility for a parenting tool. If the consequences of actions are known ahead of time, and the consequences are 'dealt' every time, there's no need to toy with strong emotio

Yeah ... I was suggesting that a more sophisticated algorithm for arithmetic on very large integers could eliminate substantial similarities, leaving the 'zone of difference'. A limited 'bit window' needs to be more versatile. For example,

One of the 'hidden' features of bookmarks I like a lot lets you set a 'keyword' to select a search in the address bar. For example: Bookmark a 'Bing' search. In 'Organize bookmarks', select that bookmark. Click the 'More' menu at bottom lef

The fact that this chapter doesn't bother to mention Kuhn, Popper, Feyerabend, etc. tells me this is axe-grinding. "The resulting weak role of 'handmaidens' who applaud progress as scientific" were Feyerabend's favorite targets.

I like to go back to places I lived long ago and "look" at streets that were once familiar - and see what's left of that, and of my own memory. Also interesting is the places that aren't part of the Google agenda, whatever that is. The pl
