I'm not sure why, but to me a ratio of about 2.5 sounds the most pleasingly rhythmic. I wonder if it has some interwoven relation with audio perception or if it's just a matter of taste!

Life can benefit from and seek low-entropy solutions - they are easier to deal with for many situations, be they cognitive, evolutionary, or otherwise. But in the process of making them we naturally put the second law of thermodynamics to u

In general, I find myself using virtual assistants only for simple tasks I'd rather not fiddle with dials for -- timers, reminders. The problem is, embedding virtual assistant support is another API, and there are countless others that

I couldn't help notice how relatively nice to use iCloud's passwords are -- while it's not the perfect password manager and has a few bumps, the schema is relatively powerful while fitting almost all policies. It's a nic

Hm, on Safari 16.1 it seems reloading twice clears the cache and therefore the counter (but eg cmd-W cmd-Z cmd-R will safely increase it). Either way, I think I would prefer this behaviour to be some sort of cookie that the law okays, becau

I think in a sense this adds its own sort of artistic value: life and time do not wait for us.

If you have 26 minutes spare, Veritaserum's video [0] on the history of FTs and FFTs is quite good. Effectively, a Fourier Transform can turn a signal into its underlying frequencies using a neat property of maths. For a piece of music

Given that these attacks target simple typos on high-download packages, is there no avenue for repositories to implement an “are you sure you want to download this” feature? Some heuristic on the Levenshtein distance and download count, say

In my personal politics, Brexit was a disaster to crown the Tories’ slow descent from covert stupidity to overt flip-flopping chaos. That said, this site just lacks the appeal to me. The rickroll is cute, but it just underlines a website st

The concept of programming a dumb watch is rather appealing; this project looks like one that's both practical and quite fun to work on. It would be rather neat to have a dumb watch that can take in custom embedded code (say Lua) for p

How is this site generated? Some of the CSS feels like Notion, and I'd love to see a way to use the same thing for note-taking and CMS.

The problem with politics is that it’s rarely made of binary issues, and yet the voting experience so often is. But the democratic process of the US (and to some extent the UK) is that inevitably two parties will appear, and this sort of fo

For context [0], this is a regular visit, done 18 times a year across the COE's member countries, so for each country roughly every 4 years. (For extra extra context, the COE is a superset of the EU, which while not particularly bindin

Dealing with a lot of `| pz` statements could be pretty quickly solved with eg a `pz` interpreter that can be explicitly given multiple sequences of inputs. That said, it would be amazing if `pz` could take in some input arguments and outpu

I'm always a little confused by the reduction of weather data into something so binary. As AndrewOMartin said, even "taking an umbrella" is contextual, and should probably be at least some form of time-graph so that you can a

XML has a few drawbacks (serialisation), but I’m not sure if it being offputting is one; you could always simply pass it through a library such as xmljson [0], if you prefer to work with what you’re familiar with. [0] https://pyp

From my very (admittedly very inexperienced) perspective, both views here are valid: it's foolish to scour the world for nails, but it doesn't hurt to make a hammer. Build the technology, think of how it could help, and if you can

Tangentially, one of the things I always enjoyed seeing in the wild was semantic colouring in equations. The educational YouTuber 3Blue1Brown [0] and to some extent the maths side of YouTube in general tend to make use of them, colouring li

A carefully-applied monetisation model could be quite helpful for the community as well as Twitter's bottom line. Private accounts - perhaps with an extended network, friends-of-friends - could still remain free and generate ad revenue

I’m curious to see how this would work with one channel, but threads are allowed — expiring after 24h inactivity as usual, but allowing natural conversation to spring into its own section, thus allowing free-form conversation without the cr

Much in the same vein, but less of a toy, Tinymonth [0] has binary calendars - you just click on a day to toggle if it's part of an event or not. No .ics export that would really make it perfect, but it still seems extremely convenient

The sheer simplicity of this idea - a 1-bit grid, which you can interact with in real-time - echoes that of Pico-8 [1], a fantasy console with strict limits such that you're not overwhelmed with ideas, but instead given bounds to play

I love this idea, but the name “digital footprint” sort of implies it’s what effect you’ve had on the Internet for helping keep your online persona under control: your tweets, comments, emails, et cetera. But this is a great idea! Having a

I find it lovely to use as an ingredient for a cupcake-in-a-mug; the texture really complements the coffee flavour.
