Sometimes I find ambient music to be too dull, but I find music with lyrics too distracting. But if I listen to music with lyrics in language which I don't speak, then I don't get distracted. Spanish mambo works well for me. Also

I find the Marvel movies boring and insulting to my intelligence. Which isn't really surprising since they are made for mass appeal and I generally don't like that sort of stuff. However, and this statement is made with no actual

When I was in college I wrote a Windows app to do the side-by-side translations of the bible just like you have on your site. It was commissioned by a multilingual church. Funny thing is, I'm a atheist raised by Catholics. I'm not

I really dislike when programming books are overly terse with their code examples. This is a problem I've struggled with since I was a child learning to code. When I'm learning a new concept, I need to be able to clearly see the s

I noticed that too. Which makes me see the project as more of a giant cruise ship than a floating EPCOT (Experimental Prototype Community of Tomorrow). A giant cruise ship isn't very exciting. Whereas, a floating city where the governm

Reminds me of the story of Noah's ark. (Shudder) I just imagined a sci-fi world in which this yacht is built and there are groups of feuding subcultures that live in different parts of the yacht. Feuding, sort of like that Futurama epi

Yes, I am confused on this point as well. By this logic, it sounds like all forms of hotlinking would be illegal, not just fonts but images, js, css, etc. How does a modern website operate under this law? Are there other options besides: 1.

This reminds me of a portable dual monitor setup that I tried to build. I used PVC pipe fittings and USB monitors. The most difficult part for me was getting the screw holes lined up for VESA mount. I didn't have access to a 3D printer

Very cool. Your results look much better than the washed out AI colorization that I've seen in the past. I think you could charge money for this service. A suggestion for something fun to do / marketing tool: recolorize this video
