On the topic of synth chips, does anyone have any good resource talking about why those big retro synths still exist?

There’s got to be a good reason I simply don’t understand for why a computer cannot replicate everything those massive pieces of furniture do.

The one thing I concluded is that their interface, with hundreds of knobs and potentiometers must be very nice to interact with. But can they not just house a computer inside?

I guess my curiosity and ignorance boils down to: why can’t computers generate all the kinds of signals that these big synths do?

Edit: a bulk thank you for all these helpful responses.
I recall people in the UK saying in the 80s we should use plastic bags instead of paper to save the trees. But cordial was still sold in glass bottles with a deposit. The only negative sentiment I recall for glass was a belief that discarded bottles started forest fires and killed animals that crept into them but couldn’t get back out.
Mailgun doesn't even validate their own headers. I get daily emails from mailgun, which pass every check (spf, dkim, etc).

I'm sort of at the point where I wouldn't mind news headlines and articles that reported statistics being required to report a disclosure table like loans are required to, which shows total amount, percentage change, and multiples of amount between the things being compared.

Then at least even if they make stupid cross comparisons in titles, people would know they can quickly look inside for a breakdown of the reality which can't be confused by wording.
The title is clickbaity. Wealthy people are not getting a tax cut with SALT - any federal cut with this would wind up being taxed locally.
Verifying rocket launches involve multi-million dollars worth of equipment run by technicians and engineers (hopefully) intimately aware of the rocket about to be lifted up into space.

Agree, but also keeps feeding me extreme bias and straight up nonsense. Let’s not forget its destructive aspects as well.
$25k in California is very different from $25k in Oklahoma. For this to be fair it would need to be adjusted for the COL in each region.

Regions with higher taxes also tend to have higher populations and more dense populations and provide more social services. And regions with more dense populations also tend to vote for one party over the other. It was pretty clear to most that this was aimed solely at punishing one party over the other, which to me is enough to support its repeal.

But beyond all that, do we support double taxation or not? I think most people would say it's unfair to tax someone on income they derived no value from (beyond the social services aspect).
If IP expired quickly like patents we wouldn't be subjected to so many franchise films and that would be a huge win.
Took a look at the simplest problem:

Multiples of 3 or 5

Problem 1

If we list all the natural numbers below 10 that are multiples of 3 or 5, we get 3, 5, 6 and 9. The sum of these multiples is 23.

Find the sum of all the multiples of 3 or 5 below 1000.

The naive idea is: iterate from 0 to 1000, test each number, add it to an (initially zeroed) accumulator when adequate. A little bit of thinking... ok, sum the multiples of 3, add the multiples of 5 and subtract multiples of 15. A little more bit of thinking: sum of multiples of 3, 5 and subtract multiples of 15. These can be calculated using an arithmetic progression formula in O(1) and limits can be found using rest of division operation.

Cool! Even a simple problem made me think of a naive solution and how to iteratively improve it.
So I'm a mostly self trained low level programmer and found Project Euler is great but there is a level of math knowledge that left me more puzzled on the formulas than actual coding. Is this something I should focus on as someone learning to code, or the other coding puzzle sites with "linked list" type of challenges are just as good.
Can’t they try take the bots offline? Do the bots hide their IP address or could they not start contacting the owners of said ip addresses and tell them they need to remove the infected device from the internet? I know it wouldn’t be that easy but is there nothing they can do to fight back and start getting rid of these bots?
Okay, I will clarify my hyperbole in the face of the pedantic - mobile phones did not provide ubiquitous, standardized approaches to browsing the web, such that UX guidelines for the web did not include them; media queries and such did not exist except as drafts, etc etc.

I've often thought that the pragmatic thing to do would be to send people to Mars that already have short life expectancies. Like old people, and people with incurable diseases. They may want to do something great with their remaining time.

I doubt it would be worse than the terribleness of most ordinary deaths on Earth.
I have come back to this thread, which I have spotted and forgotten something like two days ago, to say that just like a minute ago one of new Jenkins jobs that I added failed because I named the item using space and some custom Gradle/Maven magic tool failed to load one of its own auto generated files (I could tell that space was the culprit because error message printed only second half of item name).

How can I not be afraid of spaces if this happens like every other day with every other custom tool ...
Having spent time in the public sector...

How’s that? Assuming you don’t leave the EU those are _exactly_ equivalent
I've posted several times that this is a dumb idea, because if they tax unrealized capital gains every year, they're also going to have to issue tax credits for capital losses every year. Which works out to being the same thing as taxing capital gains when the asset is sold.

I have no problem with them eliminating the stepped-up basis on inheritance of investments. IMO, the only reason they do this is because if you inherit stocks from your great grandmother, who knows what she paid for them? But with today's computer systems, tracking the basis through generations should not be a huge deal.
How? The EU identity card fits in a wallet, and is cheaper to replace if lost. It's waterproof.
If you earn $100k and pay $10k in State Tax, your Federal Taxable income is reduced by that amount to $90k (i.e. a $10k deduction). So you effectively pay less Federal Tax.

The SALT cap put a limit on how much you can deduct. So folks paying more State Tax than the limit that previously benefited from deducting that amount could only deduct up to the limit.
There are a significant number (probably a slight majority by now) of British people who are as saddened by this as you are. And not just the predictable econmoic fallout.

I very much enjoyed the multiculturalism and there are plenty like me. The period from around 2005 onwards was for me a great time. European housemates, colleagues and cultural influence. It felt good to be part of something that crossed cultural boundaries. We've lost a lot.

> most people in the EU don't have passports

Do you have a reference for this? It might be true, but I live in a small European country and have never met or heard of anyone not having a passport, so it sounds very unlikely to me, though of cause we are a small percentage of the total, but is it really the case?
They're talking about the fact that due to a lack of passports among certain people (probably immigrants) it would become de-facto ethnicity based.

One important decision argument against AWS SES is their policy to keep bounce rate below 5% (account put under review, if unresolevd until end of month, will be suspended, with hard limit of 10%) [1] compared to least strict Postmark's bounce rate of 10% [2].

Sometimes for SAAS products with a huge userbase or freemium pricing model is super difficult to keep the bounce rate so low for transactional emails.

One argument I've heard beyond "double-taxation" is that it allows state and local governments to more easily set higher income and property taxes than they otherwise could.

The deductibility of state and local taxes has been around since income tax was created in 1913, and almost all state and local taxes have passed under that old framework. That's not to say it has to be done that way forever.
The country as a whole is not better off if the wage growth causes inflation and economic slowdown. It amounts to a wealth transfer to those who work currently from those who retired and now live on fixed income. It's a zero sum game.

Funnily I find that it's the older people who are the most against immigration. Let them enjoy the high prices for anything that involves local labor.

What do you mean? Search generates more money than the rest of Google together. Through ads, yes, but Google search could run ads even without the rest of Google. Nothing else Google does generates nearly as much ROI as search, just that they can't invest more into search since they already got the entire market there so they do other things like putting countless hours into optimizing those search ads.
"Too cheap to meter". How does this compare with 1950s futurism? It at least has a nod to climate change and carbon capture and fuel synthesis.
I don't know, only have some theories.

1. The name isn't particularly catchy or descriptive. It is the correct name for the data structure, but not too many people know the data structure.

2. People don't even know what they're missing. It's not a very Google-able problem to begin with. Slotmap provides an interesting solution to (circular) ownership and safe allocator / weak pointer design problems, but people don't recognize that they're having them or that slotmap could help.

As an example of this, the doubly linked list example (https://github.com/orlp/slotmap/blob/master/examples/doubly_...) can safely remove nodes from the linked list given their handle, in O(1), even from the middle, completely safely and correctly, even in the presence of double deletions or ABA memory re-use. You can't replicate this with just pointers, without introducing heavy refcounting solutions.
Bigger cut depending on how you look at it. They are very careful to say bigger total dollar value, which is what you would expect when a percentage is applied to a larger base number. My guess (based on the graphs) is that it's extremely close percentage wise, even if slightly lower then the immediately preceding bracket. I skimmed after a bit though, so I'll go back and look closer.

Edit: yeesh, phone keyboard really made a mess of that originally.

> If I started a new car company, and it put out it's first mass market vehicle, would you accept me saying "yeah, it's a car, it works like every other car out there, it has 4 wheels and drives down the road", would you assume it has the same reliability and safety record as an equivalent Honda or Toyota?

This analogy doesn't make sense.

It's my first mass-market vehicle, but it's already been tested more than 7 billion times. You as the driver are not a crash-test dummy.

Even if you were, your alternative is not "don't drive a car" or "drive a safer car". Your alternative is to get into a car that we know is dangerous (i.e. being at risk of contracting Covid).

Because the vaccine can't continue to affect the person when it's out of their system. The vaccine is entirely gone within a couple of months, and only the immune system's "learning" remains.

And while you're asking these questions about the vaccine, why not ask them about the disease itself? We aren't speculating about the disease, either. We know that it causes long-term issues in a lot of people, potentially including brain and heart damage.
>As someone born in Eastern Europe I feel that Brexit has been specifically targeted at our ethnic group. [...] and I feel offended.

Meh, what you heard were mostly just the voices of a loud and stupid minority, not he norm in the UK. I don't see any reason to feel offended by that vote result, it's nothing personal.

As an Eastern European myself, I found the UK to be the least discrimating and most fair towards immigrants than the other rich European nations when it came to glass ceilings for foreigners in their society.

Eastern Europeans, and foreigners in general for that matter, hold many top positions in companies in the UK, whereas this is much less accepted in traditional German, Austrian, Swiss, French, etc. companies for example, who are far more elitist and openly discriminatory sometimes [1].

> $25k in California is very different from $25k in Oklahoma. For this to be fair it would need to be adjusted for the COL in each region.

So someone in Oklahoma should pay more federal taxes that someone in California ... why? California sets its own policies, whether its housing or the social services they provide, as does Oklahoma. Someone from OK does not benefit from CA policies that provide more social services, so why should they subsidize them?

> do we support double taxation or not?

I'm taxed on my income and I'm taxed again on sales tax and if i transfer above a certain amount I'm taxed again as a transfer or gift tax, and if I leave an estate I'm taxed again, and if I use it to buy a home, I'm taxed again...

If you're actually against double taxation, you should be against all of these taxes because you're being taxed on top of already taxed income.
> let the crazy non-blocking folks write hand-crafted epoll() loops like they do in C++.

I think it's incredibly silly actually. Abandon all async for a difficult and error prone epoll model?

> Since when did everything have to be async?

It doesn't! No one is forcing anyone to use async. I'm not sure why the author implies that.

But if you do want to use async, Rust is attempting to solve the async problem with the same guarantees it has for blocking code. Turns out that is hard.
Great idea: easy key distribution and management. Like most p2p ideas, PGP also sucked at this.

Terrifying idea: trusting a third party to maintain the metadata about a key and who's identity it represents.

PGP absolutely got this part right: if you modify the contents of the metadata, the hash changes. Basically, if a private key were to point to Myself, and I distributed it widely, then lost it... an attacker who recovered said key could _transparently_ change the identity of the key and we'd have no record of who was actually correct. And lets not pretend that a government couldn't coerce Github to add an ssh identity to your account (it is owned by Microsoft now, and they have DOD contracts to fulfill).

Keybase solved both these issues: easy and intuitive, transparent proofs, along with the rigidity of metadata with pgp keys: if a key owner changes, the pgp key mutates.

You have this backwards. Making copies is cheap, especially in the digital realm; that's why copyright law restricts the market for copies. If anything, copyright law is forward thinking and anticipated copying getting cheaper over time.

There's really no need for a "non-exclusive property market scheme"[0] either. The whole point of restricting copying is to make money move out of your wallet and to publishers and creators. The problem we have is that the copyright monopoly lasts far longer than what's needed to pay for the production of new creative works, so we're rewarding ownership of existing ones which is contrary to the point of the law.

Why would you do that I don't know, but for me personally the reason is that LEDs tend to strobe (sometimes noticeably to peripheral vision) and do not emit a smooth continuous spectrum—unlike incandescent bulbs, they produce a narrow, spiky spectrum[0] and objects in your room may look unnatural as they reflect it[1]; this may be especially bad with some RGB LEDs but fundamentally is a property of all LED lights because physics.
