Hm. Underrated comment

I thought -- was typically a separator for passing a list of arguments directly to some subcommand

This would be really cool for putting musical samples back-to-back. Like 50 versions of Paganini's Caprice No. 24 in 2 minutes.

I did a double take on the domain name, it's very similar to mine https://chiptune.app :)

That is a great analogy! I still remember the day my cousin explained that there was a whole internet outside of AOL…

Agreed :) lots here to play with: https://chiptune.app?q=silpheed

It’s pretty. Lots of people have anxiety around the big question. A tool like this can really help.

Have you thought about building it as a plugin, e.g. for Jetbrains?

Wow, that’s neat. Perfect for a hyperlight drifter style game.

Wow, nice.

I am working on https://chiptune.app.

Most recently, adding SID support, and adding timing information to the emulated formats that don’t have any tagged song duration (e.g., converting NSF to NSFE). This means playing the songs one by one and watching for repeated sequences of writes to the sound chip registers.

What is subitizing?

I think this is basically correct and aligns with Facebook’s massive push toward e2ee in Messenger. They don’t want to be on the hook, and didn’t do e2ee just for the fun of it

I agree that VR goggles hit a ceiling due to simple inconvenience. Whether smart glasses will suffer the same fate is a very interesting question. But the article would be much more effective without the cheap “tech bro” ridicule. Ultimately, after calling every product ugly, the analysis put forward by this author comes down to “short battery life and privacy concerns”.

Wondering About My Loved Ones is one of my favorites. Appears also in Spear of Destiny https://chiptune.app/?play=C-eWH0LI

The test hardly seems adaptive (if at all) and yet it made the HN front page. That’s impressive.

You’ll have to ask quiz takers for their SAT/ACT scores to estimate the (probably extreme) sample bias

Not to mention, N=1

It sounds like "know-your-customer" is not the problem, but rather the quaint assumption of a permanent mailing address is the problem. Isn't some manner of KYC an essential part of a society with laws?

Where are you seeing this?

The score card should reflect your latest playthru even if it “doesn’t count.”

Suggestions:

- make the controls work like a typical FPS (i.e. WASD controls should not rotate the player but just strafe)

- make spacebar jump, and a different key to talk, like T

- make the jump work like a platformer where you start falling as soon as you release the button. so people can make small hops to the beat

- stop dancing after a few seconds of inactivity

Consider yourself lucky if they still make music in their vintage style

Why not put it behind Cloudflare protection - or is that not effective?

Unfortunately, finicky isn’t acceptable when it comes to keyboard and mouse.

it somehow feels “cheaper” and I dislike listening to them

As you should... Soon they'll start selling fake concert tickets, like a pig butchering scam but with music

Our relationship to slop is a bit more complicated than that, no?

Whether it's terrible music or not is somewhat irrelevant. Plagiarized music doesn't sound worse than the original.

What seems to matter more is the story behind the work. Basically, if the author is a grifter trying to make a quick buck, then it's slop. You can make an argument that Taylor Swift qualifies as slop, but most people will disagree. The public will be the final arbiter. All I really want is a big red lever to cast my vote.

My problem with IPv6 is that I can't double click 2001:db8::1428:57ab to select the entire address. It's a silly complaint but representative of real ergonomic issues.

Me too. And I'm speaking from using it at Rdio 15 years ago.

Nothing since (Gerrit, Reviewboard, Github, Critique) has measured up...

It's a fatalistic attitude. Some kind of is/ought fallacy. This is why we need precepts like "Focus on the user and all else will follow."

Well this was prescient... https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=47582220
