Even then, you could write a print function that writes morse code pattern to the led :p

And you then have a different system.

My point is consoles are not ubiquitous in computing. Computer systems that lack them are very common

I don't think it has "taken off" but last time I looked it was very usable and feature rich and I found no reason not to use it.

I'm going to look at it again. It looks like they weren't forwarding keyboard interrupts to executables gracefully. But instead capturing them themselves.

I haven't needed to intercept ctrl-c and forward it on in a program ever, but it seems like that should be a basic thing a shell should do easily enough.

Why bother with learning a special "image editing" application ?

Why can't folks make good looking pictures from just code ?

Algorithms implemented in soft synths need to take certain things like aliasing into account and if every musicians had to bother with that, there would be much less EDM for you to enjoy.

I switched to termite when I rethought my setup to minimize my usage of the mouse. I don't think I would have changed for cosmetic features or benchmark reasons.

The n-gate person put this fake captcha to prevent people from accessing their site when hackernews is the referer.

Just paste the address in your address bar !

Note that the original redirect is a 301, so Chrome will keep redirecting you even if you paste the URL in a new window. Clear your cache or use incognito to avoid it.

Ha, that's kinda awesome given the general tone of that site. Hooray for well-executed tech-cynicism.

Okay that is extremely antisocial. I had no idea the site author did that. Live and learn I guess...

William Sethare has done a good amount of research into adaptatively tuning music so that the intervals are always simple ratios. You can find some examples of this here : https://sethares.engr.wisc.edu/html/soundexamples.html

Unfortunately some sound examples are missing but a few of them are still online.

I'm not seeing any dead links there? That page has always been a listing of the mp3 files on the physical CD that comes with his book, only some of which were ever put online.

BTW, Sethares' research https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/William_Sethares goes way beyond tuning music to simple ratios. His whole book is about working with a model of sounds being "in tune" with one another that doesn't just boil down to that.

A bunch of the examples lead to a 404. Also his research is really mind blowing stuff, I was in disbelief when I heard the first few examples.

"Three Ears" looks like the one most relevant to this discussion and is luckily still there.

The octagon gate is actually a hindrance for some techniques in melee, notably wavedashes and shield drops.

How would having a octagon gate be worse than a round gate for wavedashing?

For shield drops you take it a step further and notch the gate.

Octagon gate also provides good reference point for MSDI.

Dungeon Crawl Stone Soup (https://crawl.develz.org/) is an excellent game that has a very open development process while keeping clear design goals.
