I adore the Canadian Brass' recording, and also the other Bach pieces they have transcribed.

I'd also like to plug the album released by the Academy of St. Martin in the Fields, who did a double album of the Art of Fugue and the Musical Offering, and used a variety of different scorings for each movement.

It's a long shot, but some old games are available via https://www.scummvm.org/

I visted EBR-1 last year - this is definitely a hidden gem!

It looks like this is a wrapper around public/private keys stored on a device: https://security.googleblog.com/2023/05/so-long-passwords-th...

Oh how I wish this were true...

In addition to being thought of as a wind or keyboard instrument, there's another component to all pipe organs that makes each of them unique in a way (almost) no other instrument is - the room they are installed in. With very rare exceptions, pipe organs aren't mobile, so the acoustics of the room matter almost as much as the pipes do.

Here's Rob Scallon exploring the largest pipe organ in the midwest: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JeB3JnKp8To

Here's a more in depth look at all the sounds of that same organ: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e1S42E1BW9w - this channel has documented a number of organs over the years.

Looks like yes, from the README:

  Chaos Bernie was written during an internal hackathon as a fun way to clean up Azure resources. Users are great at spinning up compute resources but often require nagging to deallocate or destroy them. As Bernie would say "Once again I'm asking for you to clean up your compute resources"

When I originally saw the talk this line killed me. Gotta be in my top ten favorite puns I've ever seen.

It's just a single phone, but google fi has worked pretty well for my use case. I was impressed how well it worked when I went on vacation to Canada last year. If you don't need to have a half-dozen devices on one account there's really very little that gets you as much bang for your buck - unless I'm really burning through data my bill is usually $30/month.

To explain my username, I'm an organist. I'm not interested in going to a service that's nothing but a rock concert, but we've successfully incorporated some of these songs (Shout to the Lord comes to mind) successfully into a service that also includes standard liturgy, and I definitely enjoy them in that context. I'm not saying the genre isn't full of empty songs, but there are a few with merit in the lyrics.

CGP Grey discussed this on a recent Hello Internet episode [1], that he was concerned by his inability to maintain focus on a single task (such as reading a book) for more than several minutes. He specifically notes that Reddit and HN were major contributors to this.

As a private pilot, small planes going down occasionally are just a fact of life. But this incident scares me. There were four planes lined up on the taxiway the Air Canada narrowly missed. The worst aviation accident ever was a collision of two 747s resulting in 583 deaths: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tenerife_airport_disaster - this could have doubled that number.

An aviation accident case study pinpointed a similar issue with in-cockpit weather displays. In this case the delay was less than 10 minutes, but it was enough to be fatal: https://youtu.be/83uvKWJS2os

Not strictly about separation, but a similar chain-of-links phenomenon: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Getting_to_Philosoph...

Could someone explain this in layman's terms? I'm confused as to what is meant by a "Dark Matter Emulator".

There's one very good reason to use sudo instead of being in a root shell: audit trails. sudo logs its invocations. While you could always see who is becoming root, you'd have to look through root's shell history to see what's happening (which isn't hard to purge - one of the many reasons a remote syslog server may be called for).
