I made a little joke project a while back called "Keytarnetes" which used a MIDI controller (in this case a keytar from a Guitar Hero set) to run various actions against a Kubernet…

I just wanted to use this as an opportunity to call out what I believe to be the finest song about Mary Mallon, by the finest musical act named after Mary Mallon... "Plagues and Ba…

I'm not spreading that it is harmless, but I have a hard time believing that it ruins more lives than alcohol, which is what my comment is centered on. I am happy to be proven wron…

I'm not saying it is a substitute for alcohol, but I will take someone addicted psychologically to weed over someone psychologically and physically addicted to alcohol any day of t…

Please enlighten me, informed expert!

Reading this on mobile, and there is a huge ad for Belvedere Vodka. Just like the "Fuck Cancer" movement, it's time we had a "Fuck Alcohol" movement. I'm hoping with cannabis gaini…

Hi, really neat project. I don't have much to add, other than it would be neat to see this for Buenos Aires street art. When I visited (granted this was about 10 years ago) I remem…

I worked at a competing toy store in the mid 90s also. It always brought me great joy that Beanie Babies ended up being a bad investment. We had to call the cops the day we got our…

Pretty sure that they were referring to ArangoDB and OrientDB as being immature, not MongoDB...

Wow! Super cool!

>So, how do quantum error-correcting codes work? The trick to protecting information in jittery qubits is to store it not in individual qubits, but in patterns of entanglement amon…

Voxatron from the same developer is also a lot of fun. I got both in a bundle deal for like $15 I think. Well worth it.

Don't miss out on Hail Mary Mallon, which is Aesop Rock and Rob Sonic. I would highly recommend their album Bestiary if you like Aesop's solo stuff.

Pump pure oxygen into the grow-domes.

>the Malaysian businessman they believe stole some of the money: Jho Low Would Jho Low be pronounced "YOLO"?

I'm not sure if you're being serious, but I disagree if you are. Any drug can be the gateway for a person at risk for addiction. I don't have hard data (and I suspect there is none…

Since we got on a bit of a Dune tangent here, I wanted to say that one of the most interesting topics (and this is more in the later books of the series) is that the ultimate "weap…

Exactly, and this is why I think the series is such a standout.

The book aesthetic was important because it is a religious text, and also because anything like what we would call a "computer" is not only banned, but seen as unholy. The story of…

I believe that the technology in the book must be viewed through the lens of The Butlerian Jihad events of the Dune universe, and the commandment of not making a machine in the ima…

Well, that's quite a leap from saying that human beings are naturally curious about changing their consciousness, which is what I am saying. I'm not sure what you're trying to say.…

Why do you think it is so common for little kids to love to spin and spin until they get super dizzy? They are experimenting with altering their consciousness.

The entire department? No one saw the writing on the wall and studied up on the new tech to stay relevant?

What is stopping a group from learning a new tech, regardless of whether change is organic or imposed by management? Or are you saying you have seen people get replaced with zero w…
