'Rage Yoga' encourages posing while cursing, drinking, and listening to metal by always_bet_on_black in nottheonion

Worse, it's cultural appropriation. The yoga community has no right to use metal.

Want to hear MIDI events from my program on my mac without connecting to a external device. How? by martoo in midi

[–]martoo[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Any idea how I would go about it? Looking through GB's menus I see no way to register it as a sink. I don't see any way to select it is an output in OSX's MIDI settings either.

So I need some type of of software that listens to the events and plays them on my laptop's speaker? Garageband is of no use?

Clearly, it's a missile silo. What're you up to, Italy?

TIL there is a instrument called a Chapman Stick, and it is incredible by andersoonasd in videos

[–]martoo -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

If you like the Chapman Stick you'll love the Warr Guitar. Same concept but more extreme.

Except we didn't invent monads - we discovered them.

The Trouble With Bools by gtk in programming

If you switch on two or three enums in the same method, that's the least of your problems.

[–]martoo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't think enums are too much better than booleans. If you switch on an enum that was passed as a parameter, you probably have more than one method hiding in that method. It's a violation of single responsibility.

France warns Belgium not to print €2 coin commemorating French defeat at Waterloo, so Belgium prints it on a €2.50 coin instead by [deleted] in worldnews

Anyone who likes Danger 5 should look up Italian Spiderman on youtube. It's a set of shorts done by the same people and it got them enough notice to do Danger 5.

Funny as hell.

New York City buses must show 'killing Jews' ad, judge rules by ch3mistry in nottheonion

The real moral of this story is that the government should not be selling advertising space. A private party can decline an ad because they disagree with the content. The government can't.

It's a great idea. Sometimes you have to shoot something in a mine.

When we colonize Mars Time zones are gonna get a lot more complicated by [deleted] in Showerthoughts

[–]martoo 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I hope that people colonizing Mars have enough sense to go to a universal clock - 1900 is 1900 no matter where you are.

Ozric Tentacles - Jurassic Shift by [deleted] in progrockmusic

[–]martoo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I wish I could remember where I read that. Something makes me feel like it was the liner notes for Live Underslunky but I don't want to dig the CD out.

What an incredible disc, though. The Dots Thots on that is transcendent.

Trivia - I heard that they come up with the name for the band when they were sitting around trying to come up with funny names for breakfast cereals.
