Something being ‘natural’ might make fixing it more difficult, but it is not an excuse not to fix it. If inequity & injustice are ‘natural’ – i.e., happen without conspiracy – that just makes it more important to fight them.

I fixed my now-year-long semi-intermittent sound problem, & the explanation is compellingly stupid: sometimes when ubuntu upgrades sound driver modules it doesn’t make the /dev/snd tree user-writable, & pulse runs as the logged-in user.

Is It Time to Redesign Scrabble? http://nautil.us/issue/67/reboot/does-scrabble-need-to-be-fixed

Udevd was eating up literally all my ram and literally all my CPU, while doing nothing. I fixed it by turning off udevd. (Take that, systemd.)
It seems like every time I reboot, Ubuntu manages to forget about another piece of hardware I have. First it was the USB controller, then the wifi (still not fixed), and now it’s my sound card.
In case anybody cares, I’ve fixed up my mirror of all my medium posts. (Useful if you are a cheapskate!) As always, I prefer people with a medium account to actually go there & clap so I get a dime. http://www.lord-enki.net/medium-backup/
The cyberpunk aesthetic, moreso than mere future noir, is the future as seen through the eyes of Sir Clive Sinclair: sleek but broken, and dominated by posturing. It’s a beveled black hermetically-sealed shell cracked open to fix manufacturing & design flaws, alligator-clipped wire spilling out, but no fix will prevent it from frying your brain if you look at it funny.

@dave@davebucklin.com Okay, i fixed the awk and xargs problem, but it seems awk on macosx is weird: printf “foo\n” | awk ‘{gsub(/[[:cntrl:]]/,” “);print}’ => ” f o o “

Quake for Oculus Rift
My Oculus Rift CV1 finally arrived last week, so of course I had to update my fork of the excellent Quakespasm engine for the new Oculus 1.4 API.
While I was at it, I also fixed a number of bugs, included support for the Rift’s headphones and the XBox One controller – I’d still recommend you play with mouse & keyboard, though. Controls are set up with reasonable defaults, but you can of course change everything in the options menu. There’s also … ⌘ Read more
