I'm making a midi clock -> dual tap tempo device (I'm calling it the Twin tap tempo toy, or Tttt). It's based on an Arduino Esplora linked to a dual channel optocoupler / relay. I'…

That's kinda scary then considering how toxic some of the chat is! For me I think I simultaneously like the irreverence, but also the fact people take it very seriously. It's a wei…

Not being a big gamer, I can'comment with much authority. I've played a bunch of Modern Warfare(s) and Battlefields, and Squad. But they all feel pointless to me when ARMA 3 exists…

Yep. We had to change our app when we took on a client with a strictly configured WAF which rejected GET with body. I know I have come across multiple points where I have used POST…

I like these. I have one which gives you a little HTML playground. It's in my favourites and I use it quite a lot for jotting things down. data:text/html,

This is what I was referring to in my original comment. My suggestion is that had you endured S1 fully, you might have felt S4 had risen to a higher level than "ok". That's not to …

I hear this a lot about B5, and I get a _sense_ of it myself, but I'd love to know what people specifically mean. I.e. "X plot line is like Y thing" in real life right now.

Yeah Londo and G'kar is a critical relationship to the overall effect. Also I find Garibaldi's arc compellingly tragic also... Also I read JMS' autobiography [1] which added enligh…

The disclaimer is just based on my own opinion, so inevitably there will be people to whom it does not apply. Some of the acting in season 1 is great, I would just say there are so…

If you decide to watch Babylon 5 for the first time, I suggest giving it a chance to get under your skin. There is quite a lot to get in the way of that such as mediocre acting, cr…

This is a lot of fun! It's also quite relaxing and educational.

It's so weird to me that this comment is so rare in these discussions. Linux / not Linux ... depends on the kid and what their interests are. I have two kids, one of whom I have ex…

Used 8040s is a good call. Nice price point (bit higher in UK though I think).

A little OT: It seems that so few studio monitors (speakers) have grilles. I have kids and I don't want to need to trust them, or to need to ban them. I believe Genelec have grille…

This is a great book and touches on the subject you mention https://simonsingh.net/books/the-code-book/

It's a really good takeaway too. Analysis is a tool, not a way of life. My achilles heel, which is similar, but not the same, is attempting to over-optimise, to the detriment of my…

For me, all this ... computer life stuff ... started with an Acorn Electron around 40 years ago. At first it was just fun, and then I played Elite and it feels like a lot of my fut…

This is exactly how I want my UIs to look - it's like a breath of fresh air. And I love that I can run this from an html file held locally. I'm not going to be writing any books bu…

I have used Manjaro with i3wm (a tiling window manager) on a number of different Thinkpads and it's generally been pretty trouble free, and a lot of fun sometimes! Currently have a…

Another +1 for Ross Anderson's book Security Engineering. I bought it a few months ahead of starting a Cybersecurity MSc, so I could try to get my head in the right place in advanc…

I saw the Maurice Broomfield exhibition and have the book of the same name (Industrial Sublime), which is still widely available and recommended for anyone interested in this area.…

I have no expertise here but I'd guess changes in legislation torpedo'ing the business model is probably a big risk.

I did. I accept that a single "s" is more common, but I like the double "s" and I don't believe it is considered wrong (yet).

That's fixed. Many thanks for taking the time to report it :)

Thanks! I am a fan of seeing one page CVs.
