I made a little joke project a while back called "Keytarnetes" which used a MIDI controller (in this case a keytar from a Guitar Hero set) to run various actions against a Kubernetes cluster when you pressed the keys. It was really simple to hack together in a night using the mido python library. I basically just had a folder with shell scripts named after the notes and a process that polled for new keypresses and executed the script with the same name when that note that was pressed on the keytar. Maybe something like that could work for you?

I'm not spreading that it is harmless, but I have a hard time believing that it ruins more lives than alcohol, which is what my comment is centered on. I am happy to be proven wrong if you have some stats that show differently. Again, I'm not saying it does no harm, only that it does less harm than alcohol, and that alcohol use is more widely accepted and even promoted.

I'm not saying it is a substitute for alcohol, but I will take someone addicted psychologically to weed over someone psychologically and physically addicted to alcohol any day of the week.

Please enlighten me, informed expert!

Reading this on mobile, and there is a huge ad for Belvedere Vodka. Just like the "Fuck Cancer" movement, it's time we had a "Fuck Alcohol" movement. I'm hoping with cannabis gaining more and more support throughout the US that we see a drop-off in alcohol consumption. It may take a generation or two, but I think it's time to drop this poison as a society.

R.I.P. and so sorry to hear that his young daughter will not get to know her father.

Hi, really neat project. I don't have much to add, other than it would be neat to see this for Buenos Aires street art. When I visited (granted this was about 10 years ago) I remember the amount of stencil graffiti was striking.

I worked at a competing toy store in the mid 90s also. It always brought me great joy that Beanie Babies ended up being a bad investment. We had to call the cops the day we got our shipment of Princess Diana bears. I'd say about 90% of our BB sales were to adult buyers speculating on huge returns.

Care to share what action figures you held onto? My guess is Star Wars reissue figures from the 20th anniversary theater releases. Maybe some early McFarlane toys? :)

Fun fact: The small toy store chain I worked for is the toy store that Arnold goes to in Jingle All The Way. I make sure to watch it every year for a little trip back in time.

Pretty sure that they were referring to ArangoDB and OrientDB as being immature, not MongoDB...

>So, how do quantum error-correcting codes work? The trick to protecting information in jittery qubits is to store it not in individual qubits, but in patterns of entanglement among many.

So are quantum encoding patterns the Proof Of Work of multidimensional holgraphic blockchains?

Voxatron from the same developer is also a lot of fun. I got both in a bundle deal for like $15 I think. Well worth it.

Don't miss out on Hail Mary Mallon, which is Aesop Rock and Rob Sonic. I would highly recommend their album Bestiary if you like Aesop's solo stuff.
