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 ;-)

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 player) and been a near-luddite in his…
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 exh orted me:” “any ofour friends”,…
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 monitor and discovering Mission…
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 both fascinating and understandable.…
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 tops out around 16.5KHz. The so-called…
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 and just “listen”), but I never thought…
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 supposed to be disparaging, you’d need a…
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 actually attended Red Cedar School from age 5…
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 Sudbury philosophies”, dropping high…
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 (frequently) heated discussions of…
More specifically, timing to film frames, since 48kHz gives you 2000 samples per film frame (at the standard 24fps film speed).
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 perceived as a mystery too, and therefore…
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 couldn’t beat this! Someday I’ll finally…
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.
Yes it does! Preferences -> Font, and under “Modern”, it will let you use any monospaced font.
There’s a particular conundrum that makes 3D difficult, and that’s the frame rate. Broadcast TV (which we perceive as smooth and life-like) is 60 half-resolution frames per second—standard film is 24fps, 2.5 times less…
“Before the end of the year” is important in this case not for holiday sales, but for 2013 tax reasons. I doubt even seriously rich people would be buying this as a gift ;-)
So that’s what that was, it drove me crazy! I would workaround it by selecting all or a quick page scroll down/back up. Just tested a bunch of many-replied reddit comment threads to great success! It’s the little things…
