I've been using cmus for a few months now. After trying countless music players on Linux and feeling frustrated that none of them ever felt right, cmus was the first one I thought …

> My solution was the DS/3DS line of consoles... snap 'em shut, bam, paused. I'm a fan of this as well - works for PSP and Vita too, just quickly press power and it's in sleep mode…

I am very much in love with this idea. There's a chicken-and-egg problem, though, where I live in a city that I doubt will get a host spontaneously (Amarillo, TX) but I'd want to a…

Related to this is Lizard, a Kickstarter project that got funded last year, where one person is writing a new game for the NES. He's posted some development blogs as updates to the…

This is pretty much the primary reason I would ever get a smartwatch. Once I can put Tokyoflash-esque [1] faces on the watch, then I would consider jumping in. [1]: http://www.toky…

I'd like to see this kind of analysis done on /r/all, since it seems to more closely operate like the author anticipated. The default front page is meant to weight the subreddit li…

I almost want to liken this attitude to Lua's approach to stability: The general look of the language will remain the same, but some base-line things may change between releases. T…

I've seen a couple independent artists pull their music from Spotify due to the poor proceeds they were receiving, or from a dislike of the revenue model. That may have been the ca…

This is something I wanted to build for myself for a while, at least as an RSS feed or email notification or the like. That way I could track bigger releases the same way as my Ban…

I've used xmarks for several years now and I like it. Sometimes it can be awkward when different browsers' conventions both sync in (like Firefox's "Unsorted Bookmarks" appears as …

I like the concept, so I gave it a download. The first immediate comment is that I keep trying to edge-swipe to get from a post back to the main feed, and it's not working. Otherwi…

Reminds me of MML, but more general. I like it.

I would love to hear this writer's take on chiptune, since he seemed way too amused that it was a "dance club"-type setting without any of the "dance club" stereotypes. I don't thi…

Huh. Works for tracks and playlists, not anything else, looks like. Still, much better than nothing. Thanks!

That may be part of it; I never plug my phone into my desktop, and I get my music on my phone via iTunes Match. But whether or not I have Match enabled on the device, I'm still not…

I've seen that, and I guess as an iTunes Match subscriber I can be okay with that. It's just that I was able to delete individual songs/albums/artists off the phone in previous ver…

Strange, I can't get the swipe behavior in the Music app. I've yet to plug the phone into iTunes since the iOS 7 update, but whenever I swipe across an album or song, it acts as if…

Also missing from Music.app: The ability to delete music from the device. Fortunately I still have some space left on my phone, but barring plugging the phone into iTunes, I don't …

Pakistan, I'd say, by virtue of being a short boat ride from the Pakistani coast.

This reminds me of people using tools to generate maps for Dwarf Fortress based on given elevation/biome data. People have made maps of North America and even the whole earth this …

So toss a packet-sniffer between your phone and the backup servers. See if the iCloud backup has sufficiently more data inside than before.

Have you looked into F-Droid? It's a directory of free-software Android apps that doesn't require a sign-in to use. I watched my friend use it (iPhone user here) and it looked like…

My understanding is that he'd disappear somehow, either silently or violently.
