Idiots Shoot Whole World In Foot

Hey, I've got a cool idea. Let's criminalize harmless fun and in the process create incredible economic incentives for massively sophisticated smuggling operations, complete with top-of-the-line data mining, real-time network monitoring with social graphs, and multi-million-dollar submarines. That wouldn't be a seriously dangerous thing to bring into existence in an age of suitcase nukes, would it?

Are you a hacker who likes to make music? You know how you feel precise control when you write code you understand, but you have to filter your understanding of your music through oversimplified GUIs which sometimes have terrible UX? I made a series of videos which teaches you how to write music sequencing software in Node.js and CoffeeScript. When I do it, I experience a clarity which makes it easy for me to make more exciting sounds. You may have the same experience. Upcoming episodes will also teach you how to use simple probabilistic artificial intelligence to write code which writes its own music (which I've already done in Ruby).
