I've been going through Syntorial[1] which is an interactive synth tutorial. I'm about half-way through and I've found it very useful for understanding not just what each part of a…

For those complaining about the appearance of the article: it looks like the original link [1] now redirects to the wired.com version but used to redirect to medium.com [2], at lea…

One I know is Bitwig who recently changed their licensing model so you get 12 months updates with your perpetual license and can pay to continue receiving updates after 12 months[1…

There is a list at the bottom of this page: https://www.djangoproject.com/start/overview/ Disqus Instagram Knight Foundation MacArthur Foundation Mozilla National Geographic Open K…

There are also patches for Chromium that remove Google integration and improve its privacy features: inox-patchset - https://github.com/gcarq/inox-patchset ungoogled-chromium - htt…

The reason this law still exists is because blasphemy is included in the Irish constitution and so to remove it would require a referendum which "would rightly be seen as a time wa…

Having switched to Kak recently, I've found this painful since I sometimes SSH into machines with only vi installed and so have to switch back and forth between kak and vi; it's a …

Found this on Google Play store, looks like another one: http://www.mindhabits.com/mobileapps.php

Interesting idea. Also, DuckDuckGo can do the same: https://duckduckgo.com/?q=%21ducky+inurl%3Aen.wikipedia+%s I also use Google's "I'm feeling lucky" as my default search so I can…

Probably SimCity, there's a bit about Microsoft adding a workaround for a bug in the game in this article http://www.joelonsoftware.com/articles/fog0000000054.html Edit: Maybe not …

I recently wrote a browser-driven scraper using Nightmare[1], which uses Electron under the hood. Another option for those who prefer python is dryscrape[2], although I haven't tri…

Reminded me of the Interface Hall of Shame[1], which, now that I think about it, might be evidence against his claim that software is getting worse... [1] http://hallofshame.gp.co.…

The idea is that the plugins themselves implement asynchronous functionality. Neomake is a new plugin that checks syntax just like syntastic, but does so asynchronously. Another po…
