Jack Conte (co-founder of Patreon) on the future of creativity on the web. He has some interesting models on how an artist could keep their creative independence while still being able to monetize their creation. The three-tier model (true-fans, followers, reach) is interesting.

An interesting video covering the cultural differences in web design. I liked the explanations around low-context vs high-context cultures. The differences around what is considered as "convenience" is also interesting. 

A nicely written article on handling collision in 2D. Useful for game development or generative art. 

Searching for information on the differences between the SL-1210 MK7 and SL-1210 MK2, I found this forum post and linked article (in greek). 

• Rotation Quality
  • Mk7: Excellent rotation quality (0.036% IEC, 0.036% NAB).
  • Mk2: Close but varied (0.297% IEC, 0.032% NAB) due to arm suspension tolerances.
• Rotation Accuracy
  • Mk7: High accuracy with modern direct driving but less precision than a micrometer setting.
  • Mk2: Similar high level with a slight difference (0.137%).
• Wow & Flutter
  • Both Models: Similar W&F variations over time, staying within [-2, +2] seconds.
  • Average W&F: Mk7 at 0.072%, Mk2 at 0.079%.
  • Peak-to-Peak W&F: Both at 5%.
• Frequency Analysis
  • Low Frequencies: Both show very low coordination levels at -60dB.
  • Higher Frequencies: Mk7 around/below -100dB, Mk2 slightly different but similarly low.
• Rumble
  • Mk7: Very low rumble with minor tuning spikes.
  • Mk2: Similar low rumble with minor frequency differences.
• Signal Reproduction
  • Harmonics: Both models show the second harmonic at -40dB, with Mk2 having lower noise levels up to 2kHz.
  • Higher Harmonics: Mk2 changes slightly above +6dB.
• Frequency Response
  • Low Frequencies: Focuses on 20-30Hz range.
  • Higher Frequencies: Minimal differences above 100Hz.
  • Acoustic Feedback: Mk7 has improved isolation, particularly in the 50-80Hz range, due to changes in materials and support points.
• Percussion Response
  • Both Models: Good compatibility with Denon's head, with Mk2 showing slight instability due to tolerances.
• Conclusion
  •  Both models are similar with small measurable differences.
  •  The Mk7 maintains high quality and performance, despite cost reductions, while nearly matching the older Mk2 model's performance.

I didn't know it was possible to make Kimchi with seafood. I am pretty curious to taste it.
