  • Why is Pete Hoekstra still the ambassador to Canada? Canadians should write to whoever it is they elect that Hoekstra should've been sent home the hour he was appointed.

    That dipshit has previously said that the Netherlands had regions where the police don't go and where politicians are set on fire. And then was appointed the ambassador to said Netherlands and discovered that Dutch journalists don't allow him to “not revisit” the question of which regions those are. Well, somehow he's not the ambassador to the Netherlands anymore.

    Also:

    NOS U.S. correspondent Wouter Zwart questioned Hoekstra about inaccurate claims that he had made in November 2015 at a panel titled "Muslim Migration into Europe: Eurabia come True?" hosted by the David Horowitz Freedom Center that the Netherlands had "no-go zones" and that politicians and cars were being set on fire in the country due to radical Islam. Hoekstra told Zwart that he had never said such things, saying, "we would call it fake news. I never said that." Zwart then played the clip in which he made those remarks for his viewers. Later in the interview, Hoekstra denied that he denied it, saying "I didn't call it 'fake news'. I didn't use those words today."

    P.S. Turns out this scumbag was born in the Netherlands, and still talked wild shit about the country.

    San Miguel Master Chorale — The Coconut Song (Da Coconut Nut) [2004, novelty / a cappella] + illustrative video

  • The bassline is taken from a performance of the Sugar Hill house band (featuring bassist Doug Wimbish) covering ‘Cavern’, a single by New York City band Liquid Liquid.

  • You got a machined-aluminium laptop with a battery lasting a full day and a hidpi screen, for fifty bucks?

  • If you modify it but then no one can use your modifications while at their work, then it's not much use being able to see the code.

  • I also really like how "Linux Studio Plugins" are standalone apps that you can run. I don't produce music or anything but I still use stuff like equalizers and spectrum analyzers. It is insane how flexible the "each app has inputs and outputs you can hook together" architecture is.

    It's weird that parts of this approach have been around for a long time, but barely anyone can make them all work together out of the box.

    Mac has AU Lab that can host AU apps, i.e. Apple's analog of VST, and feed system audio through them. Plugging any app into another is a bit more involved, though: there was the open-source Sunflower made like fifteen years ago, but bit rot gotten it, and another open-source clone doesn't work for some reason either — so paid apps are the best recourse, just like on Windows iirc.

    Mac also has a feature where one can combine multiple audio inputs into one virtual input. A funny application of this is, if you put the mic into a virtual input and call it ‘Rocksmith Something Something Controller’, you can play guitar with Rocksmith without their special usb device.

    Next stop: iOS has an audio bus for connecting apps together just like VST/AU on the desktop (actually I think it's very same Audio Unit stuff). Android has jackshit, and if you feel that audio latency could be lower, it'll spit in your face.

  • Thankfully many of us already seen all the jokes via gifs incessantly posted in Reddit comments. No need to watch the show.

  • 80's Shuiten and Peeter's graphic novels

    Those seem to borrow Mœbius' earlier style, which was defining for French and Belgian comics since the seventies. So it's rather ironic of you to say that it's S&P who were ‘ripped off’.

  • GIF uses transparency to overlay a frame over the previous one, so colors for the unchanged pixels can be collapsed to the transparent color to get better compression.

    Of course, this is rather primitive compared to anything invented since MPEG-2.

  • defence of peace

    Ah, like the US.

    Yes, under this ‘definition’ they could be intervening all over the world, including in Iran.

  • I'm guessing wine-drinking countries also have good diets. Seeing as it's mostly around the Mediterranean and thereabouts. E.g. people of Caucasus are traditionally known for longevity while being pretty hardcore drinkers of wine and other stuff during celebrations, but they also have kingly cuisines and live in resort climates.

  • Some people also just hold on to life until their dog dies of old age.

  • NATO has intervened in situations where they had a UN mandate.

    Ah, so it's not a defensive alliance. Thanks for confirming.

  • Was Bosnia a member of NATO in 1995?

  • For 25 squares of size 1x1 you'd need a square of size 5x5. The square into which 17 1x1 squares fit is smaller than 5x5, so you can't fit 25 squares into it.

  • Mamaleek: I typically listen to whole albums, but the latest favorite track is probably ‘Vileness Slim’. Least favorite is ‘Nothing But Loss’, the opening track from ‘Via Dolorosa’, which is brilliant for two minutes and then drags on and on. (Although there are also a handful of tracks to which I don't listen at all, because the whole EP is mid.)

    Caveat: I have no idea what the lyrics are in these songs.
