I might be missing something here but I click record, play some notes with the A-Z keys, stop the recording, and when I click play nothing happens (I hear no audio) however with the demos I hear the audio.

Any ideas what am I missing?

EDIT: I was supposed to add a sample (in the Edit Samples tab) in case anyone was confused like me.
TextMate is native and modern.
This is exactly correct. The purpose of DoH is two-fold; for Google, to allow themselves to be the endpoint DNS resolver so they can both bypass local ad blocking and collect statistical behavioral data (I am aware that their policy does not permit them to do this; it will certainly not be the first time Google violates their stated policies in the mission of serving advertisements), and for e.g. Cloudflare, to centralize and control additional pieces of previously-distributed Internet infrastructure (and thus permit centralized monitoring not if but when they are compelled or subverted by the intelligence community).

Mozilla I don't understand. The most likely explanation appears to be that they are still in a catch-up-to-Chrome mindset, which is a disservice to themselves and their community.

DNS queries should be encrypted. Centralization-by-default is not the answer and people should look more closely at the incentives in play by those pushing the DoH standard. I appreciate the efforts of e.g. OpenBSD to prevent this side-channel leakage of user data to private corporations: https://undeadly.org/cgi?action=article;sid=20190911113856

I really hope that we see some very strict local regulations around noise control. Drones are awfully noisy and a city full of delivery drones perpetually buzzing would be a massive regression.
Heh. Hence my comment. I actually had to deal with that DST change on a bunch of embedded systems back in 2006 (or so). Super fun pushing updates to 100+ systems over analog modems.
Maybe cause I am marketing, but I would say all major channels work in for the right product, message and goal.

I see some people scoff at Adwords not being useful. Trust me, there is a reason companies pay collectivly $100+ billion to this platform. This goes the same for many other channels.

For free channels, YouTube, Facebook, Google Search and Google Maps do a great job here for the right product and message.

For paid, all the major channels work well if aligned to their strenght. The one channel many people look past is affiliate models. That said affiliate tends to suit certain product and pricing. Also there is huge amounts of snake oil in the affiliate business so get someone who knows what they are doing set up campaigns. This applies to most marketing channels but affiliate/SEO are probably the worst of having wool pulled over eyes.

Am happy to answer a few specific quesitons if your digging for information.

Really tangential...but major props to the time mag web dev team for making an unobtrusive reading experience that has graphics and animations that are helpful for driving home key points of the story.
The claim in the article is that the deforestation is approaching 20% of the original forest and that, once that number reaches 20-25%, the water cycle will be disrupted in a way that will transform the majority of the remaining forest into savanna.

This is not a claim that I can confirm or refute using google maps.
> He saw the thing the shell of gray paper had concealed. Horror. The spiral birth factory, stepped
terraces of the hatching cells, blind jaws of the unborn moving ceaselessly, the staged progress from
egg to larva, near-wasp, wasp. In his mind’s eye, a kind of time-lapse photography took place, revealing
the thing as the biological equivalent of a machine gun, hideous in its perfection. Alien. He pulled the
trigger, forgetting to press the ignition, and fuel hissed over the bulging, writhing life at his feet.

Perhaps the reason to make it accessible is not because of market share. It turns out that other audio and (yes, even video!) mixing software is accessible, so it's certainly not insurmountable.
Land has been bought before on this scale and for quite cheap, see: Alaska, Louisiana.

Aedes aegypti is not native to Brazil. Aedes aegypti propagates dengue, zika, chikungunya and yellow fever and is a big problem in Brazil. It kills people (and other animals).
Just this year, 600 people died from Dengue alone in Brazil, and almost 2 million of people infected with it, and is not even spring-summer yet, which is where is the big problem....

One of the things that digital intermediation devours from social interactions is partial visibility (especially transitive visibility) outside the digital space (and often within it, but that's dependent on the social software and the impact is much more varied).

Glancing passively toward someone reading a book, versus watching a movie, versus chatting with someone else, all give quite different impressions. Glancing passively toward someone reading with the Kindle app, versus watching Netflix, versus chatting on WhatsApp, all on the same handset—you don't get nearly the same level of cues. And those cues help shape the social interactions around them.
AppleScript is a great idea in how everything is scriptable.

Unfortunately, the language itself is a horrible abomination from the wild 1990s days of Mac OS... sorry, now macOS... and writing absolutely anything in it is painful.

I feel like Apple introduced Automator to overcome the pain of AppleScript, but it never really caught on (I don't even know if Automator is still on macOS.... yep it is, still with the cute Aquaesque icon)

Nowadays everything is Electron anyway and those are not that well AppleScript-able, but what to do, that's life

Nevertheless you can still make some music with a grid.
An architecture for SaaS applications based on many small, stateful units, like Sandstorm grains, would be a refreshing alternative to the current norm itof trying to make everything stateless and web-scale

Can you expand on this? The way I see things, the more of my stack that's stateless the better. That goes equally at the application level and at the distributed system level. There are so many advantages to designing things that way that it's hard to imagine going back to the stateful "bad old days".

So I'm curious to read a treatise about this alternative small, stateful units model you describe.
When you look at these situations you have to realize it may be the case that the victims are criminals. The question is of the lesser evil, as there are no absolutes in such countries... or really any country. American elites often exploit 3rd world countries for unheard of gains, just look at Cheney and Rumsfeld, and Bush and the gains they made off war. In 3rd world countries they often exploit the country itself.
See, that’s what I don’t get. A 2 hour synchronous meeting, to me, is a waste of resources. (side note: If you’re going to destroy an engineer’s morning (or afternoon) with a 2 hour meeting, you may as well make it a 4 hour meeting and jam out a POC.)

A day (or week) to review on their own availability, plus the asynchronous feedback during that day (or week) means that the synchronous meeting can conclude in 20-30 minutes (if its necessary at all), with more thought put into it than any two hour review.

In the end, the asynchronous method of syncing state between people may take more overall time, but that time is taken from when an person is naturally not engaged with their current project. A meeting, on the flip side, occurs whether they were in the zone or not.
The relay pulses are about 50 msec, that's mostly limited to ensure there is enough air to rapidly hit multiple bins in a short time, as well as to be able to 'pick out' a part from two adjacent parts on the belt without hitting the other two. That took a while to get right!

This is great!, I thought they were only gonna do a simple piano roll and start/stop, they touch on pretty good topics including song structure, chords, modes, scales, diatonic triads, voicing, etc. This is a pretty good intro to getting into Ableton Live really. I come from using Cubase and honestly the new Live is very capable for building fluid songs, it has so many features now and the interface makes it really easy to draw automation curves, set different timings, route midi, build drum kits, etc.

Buying property is a one-time deal, not a "regular check". Also this is between nations so a purchase of land means transferring sovereignty as well.

It seems what you're talking about is leasing the land, which is entirely different. Also unlikely considering how much industry it would displace in their economy (which is the reason this is a problem in the first place).
As a fellow early TextMate contributor, I find your take 100% accurate to the extent I was around for it. I personally drifted away because I got a new job that took up all my available time.

I might have found time here and there to contribute to TextMate after the open sourcing, but my company won't let me even look at GPL3 source. I don't even dare look at the bundles.

Oh, that's true (Melodyne made a plug in that will do it, AFAIK). Can't you do something else, like optically or mechanically read the keys? Do you even need to read them? I guess you want to tell people if they made a mistake, hmm...

Something you could do would be IR LEDs and an IR camera, where the LEDs are only reflected on the shiny keys when they're pressed due to the angle.
I grew up with a bonafide, diagnosed sociopath running my family. This didn't happen till I was 10 so prior to that I was your average spoiled upper-middle-class kid.

Being 10 and moving in with said sociopath coincided with my family being poor. This was 91, so off-hand I don't know what 12K a year would be in today money, but it was below the 13.1K poverty line I last remember seeing for 91.

The result? Well, said sociopath threw away 75% of the toys my sister and I accumulated over our brief lifetimes ("children don't need that many toys"), so we learned to make our own fun.

I retained one of those Lego-brand briefcases of, well, Legos. Buying my sister and I a set of that clay (I don't remember the name, so I appreciate any help on this) that came in different colors and you could bake to hardness in the oven was a staple of our Christmases; prior to us being poor, we'd make one or two things and ignore the rest of the set. Post the family debacle, we made anything we could.

Without the promise of eternal external stimuli, I designed scores of video games, and for my favorite series I made action figures out of the aforementioned clay along with entire Lego worlds for them to do things in. I measured the difference between the volume of some of my figures before being baked versus the volume after, and used the average to make their magically-powered hats or suits or whatnot, so that such could be put on or removed as the story I (and occasionally my sister) were creating demanded.

I don't at all miss the rampant abuse from that period. There were constant room searches. "Popular music" was utterly verboten; my sister bought a Mariah Carey album at 11 and the amount of horrifying verbal abuse leveled at my mother was legendary. Trying to avoid that, I wound up storing Pretty Hate Machine in a cabinet within a box within a Dungeons and Dragons box, as the latter was in a moral grey area as per said sociopath. Buying that tape (which, yes, dates me...) was a 16-mile bike ride.

All that said... sometimes even today I try to impose arbitrary constraints on myself to recreate the creativity and just overall fun of that period. There was abject misery then. There was also a lot of fun.

Children should be allowed to be bored, but as others have said, so should adults. "If you're bored, you're boring!!!!" is commonly leveled at adults, but.. perhaps not? Perhaps it's simply a result of our "if you're not producing anything RIGHT NOW you are an abject failure of a human" culture.

It's not good to make your life revolve around anything, really. That seems obvious in terms of drugs or alcohol or video games or internet addiction in general. But I worry about people who make even supposedly-benign things like exercise or veganism or activism or even the much-vaunted "family" thing their sole reason for being. Sometimes we need to not be 100% fulfilled.
It’s not a pointless argument if voters agree. Nations don’t necessarily have to buy the land, but regular payments to Brazil to give them a reason to maintain the rain forest as opposed to burning it is a reasonable proposal. It’s better than just complaining about it.
there is no way that this payment arrangement is stable over the long term (more than 10 years).

The only thing that will happen is the locals will become resentful of the foreigners who are preventing them from using their own land, someone will rise to power riding on that resentment, they'll use the money to raise an army, and then they'll kick out the foreigners and renege on the deal.

there is no such things as "buying property" between nations with out transferring sovereignty. Look at the louisiana purchase, purchase of alaska, etc for examples of doing it correctly in a long term sustainable way.

look at hong kong for examples of doing it wrong: the chinese "bought" hong kong from the british 100+ years ago but guess what? the hong kong people don't care.
3 cent per page is surprisingly competitive, especially for an inkjet. I'm using a Color Laserjet 3600, a toner cartridge for which is about 40 dollars on Ebay. A colour cartridge lasts ~ 4000 pages, black ~ 6000 pages, that's 4 cents per page. Even though that is with second-hand supplies off Ebay it's still more than the official automatic ink in the mail.

It seems to me that if TextMate 2 hadn't been a complete rewrite, Sublime never would have been able to take over.

So I don't know what the backstory is with the slow release cycle, but at a certain point it became untenable to use TextMate 1 on our large codebase with performance problems and features missing from other tools.

FWIW I think most people who buy homes end up paying way too much, resulting in the sort of situation you're describing, whereby the mortgage becomes an anchor.

I think it's worth seperating out homes being overpriced from the basic idea of renting vs buying. The UK has a completely broken housing market which makes the life of almost everyone who doesn't already own outright or have a devalued mortgage difficult no matter what they do.
I regularly transfer money from AUD to IDR or EUR, and from Australian bank accounts to Indonesian or Euro, without any apparent transition with US intermediary banks and USD conversions. I did surprise someone from Eastern Europe when I was in Indonesia that I had never touched USD, so I guess in some parts of the world USD is important.

Many of my non-mediated transactions go through American institutions (e.g. Mastercard, Visa) but not all.

And if anything does go via USD I don't notice it, even in price; it's clearly cheaper to go AUD->IDR than to go AUD->USD->IDR.
Hehe, 'why don't you' :)

Yes, there are many use cases that I have in mind where this is a must. In fact, if I can't crack it then it's a useless project (other than that I will learn from it).

There are all kinds of devices that could give you midi inputs (such as the 'Piano Bar', sadly discontinued), but that's the easy way out. After all, you could also simply use a MIDI enabled keyboard. But I want it to work with a real piano, as well as possibly other instruments.

The best software for this at the moment is Anthemscore.
It's helpful when the iSeries calls IBM to get someone out for part replacement. Both parties know the whole deal since there is an actual contract with specifics. Consumers don't have 'contract support' unless they have cash.

OpenShift 4.2 Disconnected Install
Given a large set of unsorted lego pieces, and a list of possible lego sets with associated dollars values:

Do a single pass to identify/scan all the pieces. Then based on that, divide those into sets such that the associated dollar values are maximized and such that the number of sets is minimized.

Then select the 11 most valuable of the sets and use the sorting machine to sort these out, all the remaining legos go in the 12 set. Repeat.

Simple ;D
Is it because China appears to have done a better job of projecting soft power in recent history than Russia?
Sanctions are a lot more cost effective.

Although I’d rather prefer that well-run countries (like Canada for instance) take poorly-run countries (like India or Brazil) into a form of “stewardship” of sorts. This would essentially involve first invading and annexing those countries and turning them into “protectorates” of sorts — but it would differ from old colonialism in the sense that the “steward” nation would not be exploiting the country it’s taken into its stewardship, but only ensuring that they’re run smoothly, fairly, and justly.
> Is Iran secretly designing, testing and producing missile systems for exclusive use by its proxies?

Designing a deniable missile sounds exactly like something an Iran Intel agency would do. Especially with how effectively Russia worked in Ukraine, not using directly attributable assets is very valuable and will be a tactic we'll only see more of in the future.

Makes sense they'd simplify one of their existing proven systems and use more drone-esque technology.

The Quds name is also interesting since it's the name of Iran's more elite forces which have operated in their proxies like Syria, and what I thought this article was going to be about https://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2013/09/30/the-shadow-com...

Not with that attitude.
I think the solution of just paying Brazil to protect the forests is much cleaner and much more likely to work over the long term.

Tariffs have a lot of side effects. They are very messy, politically. They create winners and losers in both countries.
Short of getting a new identity in the real world and start from scratch whole being very careful, I think erasing yourself is going to be really hard because there are no guarantees that your data will actually be removed.
It’s probably the fact that Russia tried, succeeded, and continues to do it to the US, the most dangerous country in the world. I haven’t heard anything about real-world Chinese attacks on US election systems, though they may have happened. It certainly doesn’t seem like any succeeded.

Also: China and the US need each other as trading partners. Russia is not as vital a trade partner to us.
I'll second that (not a Singaporean yet, but live here enough to call it my home).

Singapore government produces amazing programs aimed to adapt elderly workers to changing environment, which includes help to understand how to work with modern devices. A lot of government money is poured in it and I personally consider it as money well spent. In other countries I've been living in elderly people are usually just being left with their problems or thrown in into some kind of welfare scheme, which younger generation has to be paying for.

In Singapore everyone works which means contribution to society and it pays off with opportunities for everyone and excellent government services.
