People who publish programming material online in PDF format should really take notice of this and the formatting. The half A4 version is skinny enough that you can stick it next to your editor/I…

I think they are still conflating tornado warnings with watches and severe storm warnings. There were a few tornado warnings as the system move across the country but from what I have seen I don'…

Shame that Volume 1 is missing, it is the most important one and the only one that is really still relevant. Luckily these are not hard to get, I got Volume 1 & 2 for $6 used not too long ago and…

Population of Mississippi is 3 million.

The Xlib Programming Manual and Reference Manual would probably be of interest, they are getting a bit old now but xlib has not changed much and they are still useful.

I managed to get through nearly half but the pacing is some of the worst I have ever come across and the language is limp. I tried to find something of worth in it but the best I can manage is that it…

Correct fingering is determined by context, where is that hand coming from and where is it going next on the keyboard? So you read/play through a few times and figure out the optimal fingering to…

We will get a brief window where searching will better than it has been in years until people figure out how to use AI to game the AI search engines and the status quo will return. In a decade or so t…

I believe that was an implied pun on the double meaning of "hacker."

Think before you speak and realize that there is nothing to gain from being "right" when all that is at stake is ego. Much of group think is just social pragmatism, an efficient way to filte…

The problem with flash cards is they don't actually help you with your problems which are remembering the theory and sight reading. Sight reading is more than the note names, it is also the actio…

Practice reading sheet music, which does not mean playing what is on the page but reading the page and understanding the harmonic structure in both the vertical and the horizontal. Starting out this m…

Amiga OS does use the second core even if the software does not, just like every modern system. Do you think it just piles every single process onto a single core? I never said the x5000 was in produc…

The only thing better about these than any other I have heard is that the synthesis quality is better. It just sticks cliches into new contexts and like riffusion and the rest probably has no ability …

AI is not very good at music yet, it can do things like decent imitations of composers like Bach who have a massive catalog for it to work off of and wrote under a fairly rigid theory but that is abou…

If you haven't, find out why they are not paying and try and work it out, saying something more than "pay me" can be surprisingly effective, do this through email/mail so you have …

I would find a project you are interested in. If you lack specific interests than I would go work on Haiku.

It is very very silly of you to think they are trying to compete with modern general purpose desktops, they are attempting to fill a niche which Amiga helped create and has never quite been filled sin…

In those days Linux was an M1 that sort of but not quite ran on your local fuel and was 1/2" wider than your garage. The fuel problem would be sorted out just as soon as the engineers can ge…

MuseScore and Qtractor would probably be good, Ardour takes all the attention away for linux/OSS DAWs and the MuseScore and Qtractor communities suffered from it but are still very active and gre…

We have Haiku which is getting quite good and Amiga is still in production, their new computer that is currently in beta testing looks pretty good, they would possibly get me to part with the money if…

Even if you had those choices chances are you would be losing interest, most lose interest in the new as they age, they become more pragmatic about it all. Optimal is rarely optimal outside of a few n…

I don't think you can call soccer comparable, most everyone in the US knows the game and can follow it, few have any clue about cricket and most find it baffling. I suppose it will come down to i…

This seems doomed to fail, going about it all wrong for the US. Importing players is going too push a great many away and names like The Unicorns are not going to help. Should have taken a longer view…

Sheldon was "forgotten" because Harris filled his site with ads after he died, caused the site to get off the first page of results. The irony is that the community would almost certainly ha…

Most likely nothing is being covered up, it is just the Minnesotan way. Excel Energy/State Regulators probably only released the statement to beat the Federal/NRC report on it since that wou…

So projects which are actually not secret. DARPA and the like maintain lists of such projects on their websites[0] and probably also have lists of past projects somewhere. Only one currently active an…

I am guessing that professor was talking about the project which was looking for signs of other countries developing AI by monitoring internet traffic. If memory serves it was a fairly simple setup, j…
