Want to start some LiveCoding - I think the mode I want to get into is having some sort of code-oriented loop-building tool, which I then let run and then improv with the Vindor, controlling some sample set (starting with a Baritone Sax). (more)

When I hit various error messages that make no sense (see Feb07 (2020-10-12) Building user management in WikiFlux), I start to suspect the underlying mess is from still being on Python-2. So going to finally bite the bullet. (more)
Bob Frankston thinks the Smart Grid folks might be making things too complicated/expensive with a Bell-Head mentality.
Valdis Krebs notes the barriers to treating the World Energy Grid like a data Network, pointing to a Ny Times article. An Energy Department plan to source 20 percent of the nation's electricity from wind calls for a high-voltage backbone spanning the country that would be similar to 2,100 miles of lines already operated by a company called American Electric Power. The cost would be high, $60 billion or more, but in theory could be spread across many years and tens of millions of electrical customers. However, in most states, rules used by public service commissions to evaluate transmission investments discourage multistate projects of this sort. In some states with low electric rates, elected officials fear that new lines will simply export their cheap power and drive rates up...(Hmm, sounds like local Protectionism.) Save for two underwater connections to Long Island, New York State has not built a major new power line in 20 years. (NIMBY) (more)
The World Wide Web Consortium (W3C), the industry body that oversees development of HTML and related Web standards, has today published the Encrypted Media Extensions (EME) specification as a Recommendation, marking its final blessing as an official Web standard. Final approval came after the W3C's members voted 58.4 percent to approve the spec, 30.8 percent to oppose, with 10.8 percent abstaining... EME provides a standard interface for DRM protection of media delivered through the browser. EME is not itself a DRM scheme; rather, it defines how Web content can work with third-party Content Decryption Modules (CDMs) that handle the proprietary decryption and rights-management portion.

Kathy Sierra product goal: Oct'2012 talk: Now some of you may know I used to say words like “user AweSome ” or “user Kicking Ass” (Kick-Ass) or “user Passionate ” I don’t really tend to use those words anymore because it’s really easy to misinterpret that as yet another “we made the customer feel good” or ‘he likes us.” It’s too easy to focus back on the company again. This isn’t about focusing on what the user thinks of you. It’s about what the user is able to do, and to be able to become Bad-Ass. (more)
