Daft Punk's new album is astoundingly ambitious, creating a frenzy even before it has appeared. On the eve of its release – and 20 years since they made their first record in their bedroom as teenagers – Dorian Lynskey gets beyond the helmets to talk to the notoriously shy French duo

Beijing: The son of controversial political donor Huang Xiangmo has emerged as the mystery buyer of two, billion-dollar apartment projects at Circular Quay and the Gold Coast, sold in a firesale by China's biggest property developer, Wanda.

It is the first real estate purchase for Jimmy Huang, 23, who recently graduated in economics from university and is believed to live at his parents $12.8 million mansion atop Beauty Point in Mosman.

Pipenv - the officially recommended Python packaging tool from Python.org, free (as in freedom).

Pipenv is a tool that aims to bring the best of all packaging worlds (bundler, composer, npm, cargo, yarn, etc.) to the Python world. Windows is a first–class citizen, in our world.

It automatically creates and manages a virtualenv for your projects, as well as adds/removes packages from your Pipfile as you install/uninstall packages. It also generates the ever–important Pipfile.lock, which is used to produce deterministic builds.

It's reminiscent of the dot-com bubble, when stories of mailroom millionaires sparked a rush to list anything remotely related to the internet.

OpenMediaVault for ODROID C0/C1/C1+/C2/XU3/XU4/HC1/HC2

Write image in a single step using Etcher https://etcher.io to SD card or eMMC using Hardkernel's adapter. When booting from SD card you can transfer the rootfs in a second step to permanently attached storage using the included nand-sata-install tool.

Notes:

• for ODROID-XU4/HC1/HC2 use OMV_3_0_88_Odroidxu4_4.9.57.img.xz
• detailed information / discussion: https://forum.openmediavault.org/index.php/Thread/19618
• for ODROID-C0/C1/C1+ use OMV_3_0_88_Odroidc1_3.10.107.img.xz
• No need to decompress images. Simply burn them using Etcher https://etcher.io -- Etcher decompresses on the fly, verifies burning results and thereby saves you from common SD card hassles!
• OMV installation finalizes itself at first boot (network connection needed!) Please be patient since this can take up to 15 minutes. When done the board automatically reboots once and afterwards OMV is ready to be used
• SSH keys are regenerated on first boot but SSH login has to be enabled in web UI prior to usage: Services --> SSH --> Permit root login
• Please immediately change default passwords!
• The last partition for data use will be automatically resized on first boot to use all available SD card space. Though you need to put your filesystem of choice on it (eg mkfs.btrfs /dev/mmcblk0p3)
• openmediavault-flashmemory plugin preinstalled to reduce wear on SD card/eMMC.
• In case your OMV installation behaves strange and you use an 8GB eMMC module please try via SSH: rm /root/.rootfs_resize && reboot

Download integrity: Below are MD5 hashes for the compressed images:

Whipper is a Python 2.7 CD-DA ripper, fork of the morituri project (CDDA ripper for *nix systems aiming for accuracy over speed). It improves morituri which development seems to have halted merging old ignored pull requests, improving it with bugfixes and new features.

Whipper is developed and tested only on Linux distributions but may work fine on other *nix OSes too.

Perverts! Sickos! The Tyagarah nude beach is being portrayed as a hotbed of deviance. Other voices need to be heard in this debate.

We are a local couple who spend a lot of time basking on this glorious stretch of sand and our overall experience has been safe and positive. For us, Tyagarah is a sanctuary for a carefree, simple and natural way of being. It is a place we can feel the pure joy having the elements – Earth (sand), Water (ocean), Fire (sun) and Air (wind) – in direct contact with our whole bodies. It is a sensuous but non-sexual experience; a way to be at one with nature without the barrier of a clingy, wet swim suit.

During its 20-year mission to Saturn, Nasa’s Cassini spacecraft has captured some breathtaking images of the ringed planet and its moons, revealing many unexpected secrets. Here are some of the best.

Once this is widely accepted (and I'm sure there are many that would argue with me), the thing that will separate these types of services won't be whether they stay up (ala Twitter), but how fast your subscription messages are updated. Some services might be smaller or offer more features but not update as quickly whereas others will pride themselves on being as close to real-time as possible. The key is that it's all about messaging, not publishing. (Oh, and this also facilitates federation as well, but that's another topic).

This post outlines 6 different migration strategies we see customers implement to migrate applications to the cloud. These strategies build upon the 5 R’s that Gartner outlined here in 2011. This is the final installment of a three-part series on migrations. The first post in this series introduces the concept of a mass migration, which we’ll simply refer to as “migration” throughout the series, and the second post of the series describes A Process for Mass Migrations to the Cloud. While each of these posts stands on its own, I believe they go better together.

This tutorial is divided in two sections, the first one is intended for those who have DACs that support DSD and want to configure Foobar to play and output DSD. The second section (scroll down) is for those who either have PCM only DACs or for some reason want their DSD files to be converted to PCM.

When I was a little girl, I was one of the nakedest little girls you’d ever meet. Kids have no sense of shame about their bodies, and why should they? Being naked, as long as you...

Let's talk about digital transports for a bit.

Most of us I'm sure remember those days when the only way to get digital data to an outboard DAC was through a CD transport. Although we can still resort to a CD reader, I suspect that many of us here have gone mostly into the computer audio realm with data on hard drives or flash/SSD devices. Thankfully gone are the days when the data being read off the CD could be inaccurate and interpolation may be needed in realtime, or be susceptible to mechanical failures of CD drive mechanisms (though hard drive failures and need for backups present another challenge).

I have shown that bit-perfect data can be transferred and played back without any concern off a USB asynchronous interface (eg. the various Mac and Windows software players and laptops). While I have the Squeezebox Receiver still on hand, let us have a look at the effect of using different transport devices with S/PDIF interfaces objectively.

THE MOST INTERESTING thing about Herzog and De Meuron’s newly opened concert hall, the Elbphilharmonie, isn’t its wave-like facade, which rises above the city of Hamburg, Germany. It’s not the gently curved elevator at the base of the lobby that deposits you into the belly of the Swiss architects’ alien landscape. And it’s not the Escher-esque stairways that guide you from one floor to the next.
