This is delightful. I replaced the battery on my 2011 MBA some years ago, but it's been sitting (replaced for family use by a Framework). You're inspiring me to do something with it.
Kyle Gann's Arithmetic of Listening goes deeply into this. Given an infinite number of ways of dividing the range from f to 2f, some other equal-division temperaments (31 or 53, for example) get closer than 12TET to…

The Jack Johnson outtakes with Sonny Sharrock were a revelation to me. Well worth seeking those out.

Alex Wellerstein, author of the NYer article, has a bit more info on his blog (http://blog.nuclearsecrecy.com/2016/05/23/the-blue-flash/), including an answer to the question of what happened to the core. (It was melted…
With the title "Cold Email Opening Lines," I was half-expecting things like "I don't care if you live or die," or "Millennia from now, when the sun engulfs the earth, nothing we do now will have mattered. Buy my…
I'm 90% sure that there's a lot of Boontling in Pynchon's novel _Vineland_, set in northern CA, though I haven't seen a full glossary. This one doesn't mention it, but as I recall, a "Wheeler" is a tall tale, and the…
This is great. I see it as more about the aesthetics than about airtight security, anyway. As an aesthetic project, it's perfect. Well done.
I disagree with the writer's conclusion that one should't mention other interviews or other offers. In my most recent search (after a layoff), my best leads were two companies who'd gotten in touch while I had been with…
Perec's _Life, a User's Manual_ is an inspiration. Meticulously structured, continually mysterious, always several steps ahead of you, and yet it doesn't beat you over the head with how "clever" it is. Highly…

When a company I worked for tried Joyent for hosting, I found it strange that Joyent's own package manager didn't offer the latest stable version--in fact, their confusingly named plans at that time came installed with…

It depends on the nature of your project(s) and the data you want to store, as well as what you want to do with it. If you're storing and retrieving things that make sense as persistent documents with JSON-like…
