One of the other videos on his channel is literally “256 colors is enough for anyone”, which is one of the commandments of TempleOS, so your flashbacks are well-informed ;-)

Please submit direct links, not nonsense redirections through google.

I love this. Such a perfect web presentation for a man who has both experimented with cutting-edge technology (e.g. drum machine, vocoder and synclavier in 1981, the ill-fated Pono…

A fellow Pownce user in the wild! Incredible to think that was 10 years ago. I feel like that app was years ahead of its time — the casual immediacy of Twitter without the characte…

Well, speaking of software… I assume LaTeX-to-HTML is the reason this formatting is so horrendously screwed up? It’s even mirrored in your copy-pasted text (“the  rst time”, “ She…

Your link somehow got truncated. Here’s the full thing: https://medium.com/imgly/bringing-wide-color-to-photoeditor-...

Looks really nice! I just played back a 1080p / 5.1 AC3 file, a 4K 5.1 DTS-HD file, and an audio ALAC file completely seamlessly. Only complaint so far is the playlist sidebar slid…

God, Mission Starlight was so great. I also played that on my Dad’s office Mac :-) He had a greyscale display for a long time, and I still remember the amazement of getting a color…

Every one of The Engineer Guy’s videos are a spectacular insight into the immense complexity of everything around us, and a beautiful demonstration in how to make that complexity b…

Honestly, depending on your age, that still could be “golden” — I’m 31, I’ve taken very good care of my hearing, I’m very acutely aware of audio subtleties, and my hearing range to…

If they haven’t already updated the website, it’s priced about $5000 more than a comparable-spec Model S: https://twitter.com/elonmusk/status/639170376186990592

Well, Kato is really the Green Hornet’s Valet/Sidekick, like a combo of Alfred + Robin for Batman.

Terrific list, thank you! I have pretty good absolute pitch, and can hear songs play in my head just like the real thing (I often wear headphones that aren’t connected to anything …

in the process learning about architecture, collaboration, resource management, economies of scale, and oh yeah, the ability to create a full Turing machine… if this comment was su…

Hi Someone1234! Happy to answer, and sorry for the long-delayed reply, hope you still see this and it’s not too wall-of-text-y. A slight misconception/communication here; I actuall…

If you feel like reading a semi-long and excellent interview transcript, this is pretty comprehensive for a “bird’s eye view”: http://www.sudval.com/01_abou_09.html

Hi David — I’m pretty sure I’ve met you in person at some point :-) Red Cedar decided to change just after I graduated in 2002, from a true Sudbury school to “heavily influenced by…

Most of my entire K–12 education was with a “Sudbury Model” school, The Red Cedar School in Vermont, of which my mother was a founding member. I grew up steeped in the intense and …

More specifically, timing to film frames, since 48kHz gives you 2000 samples per film frame (at the standard 24fps film speed).

This exists in a few synths, and is included in Apple’s Logic Pro for software (MIDI) instruments as “Hermode Tuning” ( http://www.hermode.com/html/hermode-tuning_en.html ) It’s a …

I honestly cannot grasp how this could be a “predictor” of religious belief. Being confused by confusingly-crafted math-ish questions does not mean the rest of the world is perceiv…

The Exploratorium in San Francisco also has a vapor tank that shows cosmic rays and radioactivity—it’s mesmerizing.

Emacs, at least on OS X, has “level 5” in its games as “5x5”, including the “how many moves has it taken so far” counter. I couldn’t beat that, and once I got to level 5 here, I co…

No, they address that in their FAQ. They found no difference in use for right or left-handed people. Hooray from a fellow leftie!

Since this has the scanlines “baked in”, just be sure to disable Cathode’s own emulation or it’ll be pretty ugly.
