Yep, I have come to believe that as complex adaptive systems made of complex adaptive systems the part of us that experience music do so through being able to predict new informati…

Stupidly terse code is fun and a good laugh to show to people as a puzzle… it is the opposite in an application that relies on it.

Since they nixed uBlock Origin Safari has not been a serious web browser to me. No amount of technology can make up for it.

I still have the last cd I was ever given. Incredible mix.

I was thinking the same thing. I think what it describes is about right too: computers programs should have a REPL and we should have agents that can input them for us if we don't …

No, it’s the “reading about exercise isn’t exercise” argument

Other animals use symbols, Koko clearly used symbols. Not using our senses except to read symbols is the death of human experience.

That’s not what you see when you wear the glasses, you will see a symbol, a series of symbols, a facsimile of life that you will convince yourself is real. It’s not elf like, it’s …

It's been a while since I did telecoms related stuff but also you might want a different CLI and ANI for forwarded calls so you can preserve the original line being used. Obviously…

Emoji are fun to use because they make written communication more human… corporations or LLMs using them just comes off as insincere.

Bingo. Again Apple's offering is the worst apart from every other one on the market.

Should be noted that Australia, and even NSW, had quite a few different systems. Country NSW was largely done by the (local) county councils and they didn’t seek to profit by once …
