There are plenty of good digital and soft-synths for sure. But the Diva isn't close to a real analogue synth. I have several analogue synths (OB-6, Alpha Juno 2, Juno 106, JX-8P, SH-101, Syncussion SY-1) in my studio (and modular too), and also own the Diva plugin. There really is no comparison. I never use the Diva plugin. If it was as good, I'd use it all the time, because it's much more convenient for recall to have a plugin.

Perhaps, for relatively simple sounds, or sounds that have little movement. But, the moment there's any filter movement then it's obvious. The filter really is the key, I think, when a digital synth outs itself. Often there's a 'digital edge' to filters on digital synths that don't come close to the 'smooth destruction' that happens in the analogue realm (really, really hard to describe with words!). But, in A/B tests between digital repros of classic synths and the classic synth, that's nearly always where I can hear the difference. But, it's also a major difference, because often the 'sound' of an analogue synth comes from its filter.

If you're looking for that stand out sound for a track, the one everyone goes "I love the track with that noise in", then analogue is where it will come from, the quickest and easiest.

This obsession with replicating the analogue sounds in software is really tedious though. I prefer digital synths that do stuff that the analogue synths can't do, like Omnisphere - nothing touches that, and it's a perfect compliment to the real analogue sounds. Let's keep the analogue realm, doing what it does best, and then let's advance the possibilities within the digital realm, looking forward rather than back.
moxie, I want to thank you and the entire team at Signal for all that you're doing to further e2e crypto and making mass surveillance more difficult for nefarious actors around the world. You're making everyone's communications safer.
Wouldn't brute force be enumerating all possible combinations of numbers until you find one where all sums are correct? Your approach with backtracking sounds more fancy
This is the downside of webapps, they have to reimplement all the UX that native apps have builtin. In this case, Apple updated things like buttons and text inputs in their native components, so any app using those didn't have to do anything to make it work as expected.

This archives every page I'm ever interested in, just fine. Links are preserved just fine, all the data that got me interested in the web page in the first place are just there on my disk, easily accessible any time of day without requiring any further accounts.

It is better since it doesn't require any involvement of a third party, is always accessible to me no matter the state of the Internet, and gives me absolute control over all of the data, which I can mine using whatever toolset I want. In fact, I get more data out of this method than the service described in the article.

Currently signal is asking for a pin periodically to allow migration to a new device every few years when a user gets a new phone.

Instead of typing in a pin few days/weeks for years, why not just have an export feature that users can select. Have users fill out an encryption key, then 1 minute later when they grab their new phone they can type it in again.

Ideally this would work from the desktop client, a tablet client, and phone clients. So if my device dies, is stolen, or sold I can restore my history from any other signal client I run.

Or maybe use the IOS approach which allows users to cloud sync to keep history (if they want), or to turn it off, which is less convenient, but more secure.

Either approach would save 10s or 100s of pin entries, and still provide a good user experience when switching phones.

Back in the 90s we had a faulty DELL server that someone decided needed to have its BIOS upgraded. They didn't read the specs and upgraded to a BIOS not supported by the CPU.

Motherboard is bricked. Ring DELL for support. After going through the rigmarole of explaining what had happened and that we had a bricked motherboard, the person on the phone said "Have you tried taking out the CPU and rebooting?"

To avoid further delay in getting a replacement sent (we had 4 hour on-site at the time), we went through the motions. Not surprisingly, the motherboard was substantially bricked without a CPU.

The DELL engineer that came on-site was suitably amused.

One thing to add to that is that: Yes, it may be political, but it may be a very localized political situation (like a coworker or a PM or just this person's boss). The media/news/articles/discussion appear to be portraying this event in such a way as to portray the local governor/state-government in a bad light and as somehow responsible. See all the talk about the governor in this thread, the orders about nursing homes, etc.

I think humor has a place on HN, so long as it's used sparingly while remaining highbrow and relevant to the discussion at hand.

As a budding HN comedian, it's taken years to learn how to play to such a tough crowd. Nowadays I just get weird looks whenever I explain that my dislike of tomatoes stems from the fact that they taste the same as downvotes.

Running Laravel Dusk Tests with Docker Using DDEV
It was a long time ago, but I think I randomly filled in numbers, save if numbers were already used in each row or column, then when it reached an impossible solution, it would work backwards one level, trying new numbers. If it ran out of numbers, it would go back two columns, and try a new number.

I doubt it was anything fancy. At the time, it bent my mind into knots. Programming is a wonderful mind trainer.

You can participate by spending money you were gifted, but you're not contributing. If it was just about participation, let's remove all the clutter, just give everyone a million bucks a month - we can all participate in the economy by spending roughly $30k a day and it'll be an economic wonder. The question is: who will be there to sell us things, to cook food at the fancy restaurant etc, if they also get $30k a day? You'll have to pay them a lot more than today. And that'll just mean that your $30k are worth proportionally less.

Money is just a placeholder for value. You need the value being produced to make the money meaningful.

> To me it illustrates that there is a lot of value in Spotify as a delivery mechanism and that the existing channels are not working.

Spotify is pouring money into attracting exclusive talent in order become more sticky to consumers and to build a moat against alternatives. They want to erode other platforms (including the open web) so that they become the unichannel.

This is not a sign of existing channels not working. This is taking land from natives and taxing it. It's being done by a powerful player that doesn't want freedom of choice, so long as the only option is their own.

This is not good for anyone but Spotify and Joe Rogan's net worth.

Airtable is a great inspiration from the UI point of view but I am have a strong opinion of self-hosted. So Dwata will try best to stay self-hosted. It is open source (https://github.com/brainless/dwata) but I am surely planning to make money by selling license/support - have not reached there yet.
Depends what you define by fresh eyes. You can have fresh people with old ideas, trying constantly the same thing, until an idiot comes along with an exotic expertise and solve your problem.

And it happens everyday to many of us, sometimes we are the old ideas people, having a noob show us how it could be done better and faster, and sometimes we are the ones joining an old group and proposing something new we saw elsewhere to apply to one of their stupidly long-standing problem.

I find her story very relatable and a good reminder we should never dismiss the noobs in scientific, creative or high-profit endeavors: they can always bring something we didn't think of by exploring an area we overlooked. And as an example, you can look at the high-speed, youth-driven electronic innovation craze in Shenzhen, often overlooked, where everyone share everything, everyone and everything is new somehow, and exploration is encouraged (and financially rewarded) more than production of blueprints.
I have considered recently I should make some things with imagemaps again, like there is untapped potential there I'm not clear of but that when I start working with it years of experience and new technologies will clarify.

I was thinking just yesterday while casting an int32 to a uint64 that theres no guarantee the int32 wasn’t negative beyond my knowledge that the code was only ever incrementing it, and how most languages (that I have worked with at least) allow dangerous casting without enforcing any sort of error handling on the given operations.

I think this would fall into this category.
Islam actually slows down scientific progress. The golden age is nothing more than Muslims taking credit for the swan song of conquered cultures. If anything, Islamic culture might be the second worst thing that happened to the middle east after the Mongol invasion. There are many hypotheses as to why Muslim-majority countries produce a disproportionately small share of world scientific output even today.

>Most westerners don't realize that when Europeans were living in mud huts and emptying their chamber pots into the streets...

North Europeans were more advanced than you're giving them credit for. Different biomes open up different strategies and possibilities. You can't expect a city like Rome – marble and all – in ancient Scandinavia. But we found samples of skilled craftsmanship (nebra sky disk, waldalgesheimer fürstengrab) that go against the cartoon narrative you described.
If there was no conspiracy you think it was a coincidence that he was banned across all major platforms at the same time after using them for years?

I guess I can kind of see how it is possible to believe that it was a coincidence that all companies banned him simultaneously. It's obviously overwhelmingly unlikely that it was a coincidence, but that is at least a coherent thing to believe. On the other hand, I cannot say the same for the claim that there was "no censorship".

What do you call banning people because you don't like what they have to say and want to stop them from sharing their viewpoint if not censorship?

If you want to argue that Jones should be censored, that seems like a rational and worthwhile conversation. I don't get how you can argue that he wasn't censored though.

Regarding how Facebook, Apple, Twitter, YouTube, and Spotify are different than a random phpBB forum, I think I'll just leave that one as an exercise for the reader...

> Employers would have increase wages significantly above the UBI level in order to attract workers, but that would either erode the UBI through inflation or cause an inflationary spiral if the UBI were indexed.

Employers would not have to increase wages "significantly above the UBI level" because the UBI is paid in addition to wages. They might have to increase wages somewhat in order to convince people to do undesirable jobs, but isn't that a good thing?

It also makes automation of those jobs more profitable, which allows more people to do what they want to do instead of being forced into drudgery out of survival.

Meanwhile there is no obvious means for this to cause inflation because no additional money is inherently being created. There would merely be less income inequality because some money is transferred from executives and shareholders to workers when they have to pay higher wages.

The only real mechanism for inflation would be if you transferred money from people inclined to save it to people inclined to spend it immediately, but there is no way for that to consume the entire amount unless the supply of all goods and services is completely inelastic. Otherwise some of the money gets spent on things whose prices don't increase significantly with demand and you just get more production.

Meanwhile necessities with inelastic supply are evils in themselves, because it's nearly always an artificial barrier. If people had more money and housing supply is constrained then rents might go up, but the problem there isn't that people have more money, it's that housing supply is artificially constrained. A solution to one problem isn't defective just because it fails to solve a completely independent problem. We have to solve the other problem either way.

> when the hardest Soduku problems in the world succumbed to a brute force search to my lame program in less than a few something something ms, I kind of shrugged at the fancy methods.

I think you're coming off as dismissive, which is why you're getting downvoted. Puzzles like these have the purpose to entertain a human solving them, and they do that pretty well.

If you seek entertainment in developing algorithms to solve these puzzles, you should adjust your challenge to modern computers: Up the size to 100x100 or more, see how your algorithm performs, and go from there. Spoiler: NxN Sudoku is NP-hard (NP-complete, to be precise), so have fun - maybe you'll even win a million dollars.

Now, if you want to really challenge yourself: Write an algorithm to create Sudoku puzzles that have a unique solution and as few initial numbers set as possible. Maybe you'll even improve your coding skills beyond mediocre. ;)
