Honestly, if you're a total beginner, you almost can't go wrong with DAWs these days. All the mainstream ones are superb. After awhile, you may well find that one or another is more to your taste, but that's the kind of thing that can only reveal itself gradually over time.

You'll hear lots (and lots) of talk about which DAWs are best suited to which types of music, but honestly, I've written symphonies using Ableton Live and electronica using REAPER (and I'm hardly alone). It's true that some communities of composers/producers gravitate toward certain DAWs, but -- especially if you're starting out -- that fact isn't as important as it might seem.

Here's my advice on the matter: Pick a DAW (Bitwig is amazing), and commit to not buying a single third-party plugin for at least a year.

The problem beginners have is that they think there's something wrong with their software, when the reality is that they don't yet understand how compressors, and EQs, and reverbs, and delays, and filters (and all that stuff) work. And they think that if they drop a fortune on fancy third-party versions of those things, all their problems will disappear. They won't. Truth is, the "stock" versions of these things that come with DAWs nowadays are absolutely fantastic.

I have close to 300 third-party plugins in my plugin folder. That gives me all kinds of shades of color and nuance that I can use to create certain kinds of sounds and moods. But if someone asked me to make a record using only the stock plugins in Live, or Logic, or Studio One, or REAPER, that wouldn't bother me in the slightest. Wait until you really understand how those components work before you start chasing down "that sound." And remember that some of the best records ever made were made using equipment that is startlingly primitive in comparison to the audio facilities of your phone.

Everything on the internet says otherwise, but it's all about the music and your knowledge. It is almost never, in the end, about the gear.
I use a Sculpt as my work keyboard and, while fantastic, have you had any issues with the range of the wireless transmitter? I feel like it doesnt go beyond a couple of inches unless it's plugged into a powered USB hub -- even then it still occasionally drops keypresses

Is it that much different though? You're saying "X is not scraping by, look at Z for proof"; I just happened to pick a Z for which your argument becomes weak: I could have picked single moms w/ kids w/ cerebral palsy too, but the point is that we're cherrypicking a sob story that isn't all that relevant to the demographic being discussed. The non-literal interpretation of the OP is more along the lines of what I said earlier: "Bay Area middle class is shittier than middle class elsewhere"
> The flagship models like Pixel usually have the best ongoing support.

When was the last time you checked on this? As far as I can see, LineageOS support is pretty much restricted to phones that have had it for years. There is no hope if you have a recent phone. There's also no hope if you have an old phone, unless it's already supported.

For example, the most recent Pixel with support is... the Pixel. The original.
Exactly, but if you own it and add `PTR` to `has-a.name` then in turn you give them power. They can request a new certificate under that name and point that host to another IP. I'm sure there are other ways to abuse it as well.

Not that I agree with them, but some of the rationales I heard:

That it makes a company liable in case someone repairs their truck and it blows up, since they can't prove that the two were related. Also to consider: the machine blows up after a repair, but it's not related to that.

That it might force companies to publish business secrets: with machine being full of computers nowadays, they might be forced to reveal a proprietary API. Related: someone finds a flaw in the API, uses it to ruin other people's machines, and then the company gets sued for it.

That it forces companies to sell pieces that are not profitable, in case someone wants to repair their machinery. They might have no intentions to get into the spare pieces market, but with a specific law (such as "the company will make available all required pieces for sale, or...") they might be forced to.

Also, money. But those are the kind of arguments you were asking for.

Those cases highlight distinctions between criminalizing “status” and criminalizing “conduct,” beginning with a 1962 case, Robinson vs. California, in which the Supreme Court found that the State of California could not criminalize the state of being addicted to the use of narcotics (as opposed to the actual use of narcotics)

Yeah, the article addressed a slightly different angle than most of the discussion in this thread.

This case (partially) answered "Can the government jail you for being homeless?" The answer being "No, not generally, but perhaps under a certain set of circumstances that are outside the scope of this case."

Much of the discussion here is "Can a charity compel you into indoctrination in return for bed/food/etc?" The answer to which is "No, not if they are receiving state funding." (They probably shouldn't regardless of funding, but that's a moral question, not a legal one)
The original topic under discussion involves the US government by way of Boise police arresting people for not being in shelters - in some cases there were beds available that came with mandatory religious programs and the 9th circuit court held that that was insufficient to count as freely offered housing.

People were, essentially, arrested for not attending religious ceremonies - there is a lot more interesting nuance here, but suffice to say that the 1st Amendment is absolutely relevant if people are potentially being jailed by the state due to a failure to attend religious ceremonies.

Which studies? If you mean those listed at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Propaedeutic_value_of_Esperant... then they don't actually support that conclusion. Some more details on one of those studies in particular: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=14848019

Most people are misinformed about APL, but Dijkstra took this to a spectacular level.
When Boise threatens you with arrest for being homeless, and says that "shelter A over there had a bed/soup kitchen and you didn't use it", but shelter A mandated that you had to participate in religious ceremonies or sermons, you now have the state putting you in jail should your beliefs not be compatible with the religious bent of the charity.

That kind of separation.

FAANG isn't "most industries" by any stretch. This ignores healthcare, automotive, pharmaceutical, agricultural, and so many more industries.

Then what does this mean for Software? Right to repair your software. Isn't that the same as Open Source?
In the early days, farm tractors were pretty simple, and many farmers did a lot of their own work. As machines got bigger, most used local repair shops that could always order from parts depots. But as electronics has invaded tractors (for many good reasons) it has gotten to the point where you really need the diagnostic equipment.

So this is a lot like what auto repair was in the early days of the diagnostic plug-in port. It took legislation to allow my local mechanic to buy a diagnostic machine that allowed him to reset the whiney "time for an oil change" message when he serviced my car. That was all about lock-in. This is all about lock-in for farm machinery, using proprietary ports and protocols and keeping documentation secret.

I could go on at length with anecdotes from family history but I shall spare you.

Right-to-repair needs to happen for all of us. Farmers just happen to have a lot of money on the line here and are leading the charge.
Can I just point out that this is just one vivid example of why tying setuid permissions to a file is a terrible design to begin with? Permissions should be derived from the execution context at run time. (People might hate me for saying this, but this is one of those design decisions Windows fundamentally gets right.)
Similar logic leads people to believe that atheists, lacking fear of retribution from a vengeful god, are more likely to commit crimes.

I don't see how this follows. There are punishments for committing crimes that don't come from a vengeful god, like punishment from a legal system.

Hi all,

We spent last one year to create an app, Tinyview Comics Reader, and a comic series, IN SCIENCE WE TRUST, to tell stories of scientists like Nikola Tesla, Alan Turing, Ada Lovelace and Mary Anning. Working with artists like Jack Richardson whose illustrations have appeared in publications like the Economist, and Andy Warner, the NY Times Best Selling author of Brief Histories of Everyday Objects and This Land is My Land. He is a contributing editor at The Nib and teaches cartooning at Stanford University.

These are our initial titles and we are learning a lot for future titles (adding a healthy dose of humor). I hope you enjoy them. Alan Turing and Mary Anning are FREE and first two chapters of Nikola Tesla are also FREE.

The app is easy to use and lets you read comics in vertically scrollable manner. We want it to be a platform for other comics too - so there is more content for users and more users and in-app purchase/subscription for content creators.

Please share any feedback. Thank you!

This is, by definition, a law respecting an establishment of religion. It was permissible only because the Bill of Rights was not applied to the States until the passage of the 14th Amendment.
The case was made as a dc plug in general. Though 12V does definitely not require "earthing", you are correct about that. With earth in this case it is not the ground perse but some connection schemes (and standards) require either a third connector or open return path for DC which this connector cannot provide.

Apparently they decided to make it a standard in 1994 after years of mismatching equipment all over the world, which is longer than I would have ever guessed. Interesting to see. Apparently UL "standard" does not translate well to actual standard. My experience is that most devices fail on the spring center contact, and do not fit for all cars. Anecdotal but still: even the expensive charger I have doesn't work in one car I've owned (opel) due to the misalignment of the outer contacts and it jumps out too much). It says it's UL2089 compatible though so I guess opel was at fault. There are so many "extension cords" out in the wild which hardly work or go lose after time due to bad design or because they are just a bit too wide. I own several of them and have thrown most away.

The funny thing is the standard describes two sockets with differing size which is not helpful in any way and looks like a legacy of some manufacturers made into the standard.

The article also mentions other bad characteristics about the connector and plug like bad contact causing high resistance which is simple due to the design but might also be present with other designs of course.

I mean, it's nice it became a standard as it was in every car anyway since everybody smoked in them but there are way better solutions which do not have the problems I already mentioned and are way better solution for home appliances. If there is not yet a proper standard, why chose one which is not designed for this usage and most definitely was never designed for what it is used for today with all kinds of side effects (good or bad).
It sounds like "digital electricity" is a more advanced sort of GFCI: instead of verifying that the two pins are carrying equal current, it verifies that the expected amount of power makes it all the way to the receiving end.

Normally, running high voltage through a wire is dangerous because a fault can dump power into the middle of the wire (starting a fire) or into a person (stopping their heart), but perhaps with end-to-end active monitoring, it's possible to operate safely at much higher voltages?

If this technology works, I think it would also be useful for powering a tethered drone from the ground.

[Edit: according to lopmotr's link, they are using this for drones and balloons already.]

My only concern is that this may be restricted to farmers while it’s a much more general issue. We don’t need more laws specific for an industry.
Indeed, but if you've put in a lot of work asking/answering good questions and they reward you with standing then it sucks to suddenly start losing that. There is already a certain level of inflation in that those who are continuously active will keep raising the bar. I am rather proud of my contributions and score on SO and don't want to see that go away

As another long-time HN user and as someone myself who has previously held opinions which evidence eventually led me to change, I want to give you the benefit of the doubt.

In this thread you've been responding more to the meta comments than to the actual data people have posted. In a hot-button topic like this, that leads people to believe you are acting in bad faith. Do you have any response to the IPCC report, or to the other comments about CO2 and temperature data?
No, they're religious. And the City of Boise will threaten to put you in jail if you would rather sleep outside than listen to mandatory religious sermons and participate in mandatory religious activities to have access to the shelter.

That was one of the keys - "the City said it wouldn't cite people when shelters weren't open", but the plaintiffs said that one of the religious shelters had an "always open" policy, even if they didn't actually have beds, and they did require religious participation, so the city's point was effectively moot.

If learning Esperanto really solved the same problem that learning, say, Spanish or Mandarin would solve, then you might have a point. But Mandarin has just under a billion native speakers and another 200 million second language speakers, whereas Esperanto has as few as 63k speakers combined from both categories. The combined number for Spanish is easily 500+ million.

The only compelling argument I see is the one you mentioned about using Esperanto as a quick path to, say, French. However, if we use your Spanish numbers, it'd need to reduce Spanish acquisition time from 500 hours down to at most 450 in order for it to be a net gain. Personally, as someone who's studied Spanish as a second language, I just can't imagine it would have helped me going through Esperanto first.
That's true, it's better than charity because it doesn't rely on people's goodwill to ensure the survival of the less fortunate.
