Floorboard Is A Keyboard For Your Feet - Hackaday
  • That's pretty neat. I bet this combined with a small ergomechanical keyboard would be nice. Could use the foot pedals for shift, ctrl and meta keys. Would be similar to playing a piano.

  • The best hill of them all.
  • I had a 1988 Pontiac 6000. I took out the radio/tape unit and replaced it with a CD player. My goddam cruise control was disabled after that. They've been running other systems through the radio forever.

  • How about we play, "Never have I ever"?
  • From what I've learned about LSD and psilocybin in popular science they do sound like effective tools for depression, PTSD and enhancing creativity. I don't have the means or the will to try and get it or experiment with illegal substances. I think therapies should definitely be developed around their application though. A coming of age right would also be very interesting.

  • How about we play, "Never have I ever"?
  • Is it OK to feel sorry for you? The thought of doing this has never even crossed my mind. People would describe me as a very optimistic and happy person though. I guess I just don't need any drugs for escape, although I do enjoy jumping into a video game and beating up some bad guys. Dynasty Warriors is great therapy.

  • How about we play, "Never have I ever"?
  • That's fascinating how you learned all the letters but never put them into an ordinal system. Definitely presents an alternate thinking mechanism than I think most people use. Must have been very tough on you in school as most schools don't handle people who think differently very well.

    The left/right thing is probably much more common. I think it's interesting how you use the political compass as your visual reference. I for a long time couldn't remember which political party was left or right, but found I was very good at just 'knowing' left and right, as well as the cardinal directions n/s/e/w. My friend who was horrible at telling left from right would hold up both hands and extend his index and thumb. Whichever hand formed an "L" was his left hand and he used that all the time.

  • Huge Half-Life discovery found from a decades-old CD sitting in a storage unit
  • It wasn't the colour, you would burn little bubbles into the disk. The bubbles would deflect a laser and flat parts would not. This would give the 0 or 1 bits.

    There were CD- and CD+ versions. I don't know which is which but one would create a divot, and the other would create a bubble. Either way the laser is diverted away from the sensor.

    Background Visualizing genome coverage is of vital importance to inspect and interpret various next-generation sequencing (NGS) data. Besides genome coverage, genome annotations are also crucial in the visualization. While different NGS data require different annotations, how to visualize genome cov...

    > On Thursday, the Alberta Dental Service Corporation (ADSC) said it had been hacked between May 7 and July 9. On the final day, the hackers communicated they had encrypted the data, were holding it ransom and demanded cryptocurrency in payment. > > Lyle Best, the ADSC president, said the organization’s cyberinsurance was immediately engaged and the ransom was paid, recovering the data with a minimal loss of that data. Best also noted the corporation had secure backups.

    Oh for fucks sake! You don't pay the ransom if you have backups! You're just enabling the hackers to make more attacks!
