What is "a file" in this case? Because VST don't have idea what that is, so you're still going to be generating your projects in _something_

That said, what you're describing sounds pretty close to using cantabile in headless mode (https://www.cantabilesoftware.com/guides/commandLineOptions), where you just create a project with your desired VST chain, and then take it from there.

In my experience - this is a bit painful. I got my Ryzen machine to build FF in about 20 minutes through very liberal use of build caches, 40G RAMdisk and making the build process have priority over everything else. I doubt that sub-minute builds are possible on easily accessible hardware, but I would love to be proven wrong here.
I would’ve spent less time trying to get perfect scores and more time trying to make friends and hang out with people.

Idk if that would’ve actually benefitted me in the long run. But i know if i was sent back to high school/undergrad now, with my academic interest/motivation lower and social skills improved, I would’ve don’t that.

Also in middle and high school i would’ve loved to take more advanced placement and higher-ed classes. I was lucky that school was easy to me, and the AP classes I took and knowledge i learned on my own gave me a head start in college. I’m uneasy about schools fading out “gifted” programs, sometimes they’re unfair, but there needs to be an opportunity for students who learn faster to place out of concepts they already understand into higher-level ones.

If you want to order a PineNote Developer Edition, for $399+shipping, the correct link seems to be: https://pine64.com/product/pinenote-developer-edition/

And you'll need some kind of "coupon code", which I didn't search for. But in the past they've been pretty inclusive about developers (for the PinePhone, which definitely was for developers only, and hopefully didn't result in returns).

(Incorrect links: The Preorder button on https://www.pine64.org/pinenote/ goes to https://preorder.pine64.org/ , which says "There are not any on-going pre-order at this moment." And https://www.pine64.org/availability-and-shipping-status/ shows they have stock of the PineNote Developer Edition, and are also shipping it, but no links to get to where you could order it.)

As the author of another FLOSS DAW, I'd disagree with your closing sentence. The number of users of computer graphics tools outnumbers the computer audio tools by at least 10:1 based on any metric I can find. Maybe I've grown immune to the "excitement" or maybe my 21-year old project is just shite, but I really don't think it works the same way.
First off. Give yourself space to fail. It is ok to fail. It is ok to be a failure.

Some days it will be hard to get out of bed. That is ok. Get out of bed anyways.

There will be days where doing one 15 minute task will take you 8 hours. That is ok, do it anyways. And then congratulate yourself that you finished it. Do not berate yourself that something so simple took you so long to finish.

Have a goal of 20 minutes vigorous walk daily. You will fail to achieve this goal for many days in a row. That is ok.

The sun is your friend, it will make you feel better. If you live somewhere without much sun, vitamin D can be a lifesaver. If I run out of my supplement and fail to purchase more I notice a strong correlation with low moods that could spiral into depression. I don’t let my vitamin D run out.

Some days you will not want to feel better. That’s ok. Try to feel better anyways.

Sleep is important. Do whatever you can to protect your sleep.

Eat foods that make you feel better. Avoid foods that make your mouth happy at the expense of your body. You may not know how to tell the difference yet. If you pay attention to your body you may eventually get a better idea of what these foods are.

It’s ok to be useless. It’s ok to not make an impact. It’s ok to only do small kindnesses to others. Find some small way to genuinely help someone. Try to do this regularly.

Also, remember that happiness=f(reality/expectations). Your reality can be amazing, but if your expectations are even higher all your achievements are going to feel like garbage. So try not to beat yourself up trying to chase high expectations.
Diversity for these purposes is biologically defined. Different race, different sex are pretty much it. A difference in ideology within the same race or sex doesn’t doesn’t count as diverse as I’m using it.
I ask myself a question randomly throughout the day, any one of these or similar:

Am I aware right now?
What is the mind aware of? What do I notice?
Is there awareness?
Am I craving something?
Do I have any aversion?

The act of asking any one of these types of questions naturally brings me back to an awareness of right now.
Intel charges a much larger markup per chip than AWS can get from their own silicon + licensing ARM IP; the power consumption of Intel chips is also terrible (it's been cited that it's 60% lower power consumption for c7g instances compared to c6i instances, for instance, in the latest reinvent talk...) -- and power is what predominates operating cost day to day once the chip is fabbed/installed.

The energy used by Ethereum has nothing to do with contracts, it's all in the PoW. The reason it uses less energy than Bitcoin is because the block reward[1] per unit of difficulty is less. That's the real determinant for energy used, the more money you can earn for mining a block the more you can afford to throw at the task of mining it.

The block reward is only loosely related to popularity, in that more transactions trying to get into blocks will increase fees and demand for ETH will increase price. But as the sibling comment already pointed out Ethereum is more "popular" than Bitcoin by many counts.

[1] reward being: (block subsidy + fees) * price

> Some bars might. Others may not. In any case, you've still got to a passport in the first place, so that doesn't remove the renewal cost or the initial cost. It's also a multi-page book.

Pretty much every bar does. I know this because I have several friends that used expired passports for years without issue. It’s also frequently done be foreign students, because most bar staff don’t recognise any form of foreign ID except a passport. So there’s no need to ever renew the passport.

> It's also a multi-page book.

So what? It no more difficult to carry than a small wallet or purse.

> If we're going to run a provisional DL as a de-facto ID card, why not just have an ID card?

Because the DVLA don’t want it to be an ID because it’s a pain in the arse for them. Which is good, because they go out of their way to make accessing the data difficult for any reason that isn’t driving related. Creates a nice little natural firewall against abuse.

> If you're verifying someone's ID at all then those issues are going to exist. That's not a problem with having an ID card, that's a systems problem - if you use a DL, there's a URN. If you use a passport, there's a URN.

The URNs change on each renewal or replacement, strictly limiting how long they can be used to track an individual. Additionally people can choose which document they use with each entity, and make it harder for different entities to match their IDs.

> Not having a national ID card is, frankly, Stone Age. If you want to avoid the spectre of Papiere, Bitte then that is a legislative problem and not a technical one.

Yes it is, just like paper voting. Thats a good thing, it shouldn’t be easy for future governments or corporations to track individuals without their consent.

With regards to Papiere, Bitte legislation solves nothing. It can easily be changed at a whim, our executive government almost always has a majority in the legislative house, make it trivial for them to amend legislation on whim as it suite them. Surely your not blind? You must have seen the numerous abuses of this powers from Boris’s Tory government over the past year. Just look at anything Priti Patel has worked on.

Throwing away natural defences against abuse for convenience is stupid and short sighted. There are plenty of innovative ways of working within our current ID system, while still offering a high level of convenience, without making it easy to abuse the data. Just look at any recent neo-bank to find half a dozen examples.

> The problem in the USA is that black people started out as slaves and this massive social oppression was never balanced out

That's not due to lack of opportunity, despite what the race peddlers insist is the only possibility. Plenty of discriminated immigrant groups have surpassed your average White household wealth in a matter of a couple generations.

The problem is largely behavioral, but any discussions of the topic are typically controlled by people that don't let that be an acceptable angle to look at.
Jesus had his angry moments, but he's not an angry figure in general, but more specifically I'm pointing to the populist imagination: Jesus is generally not viewed as an angry figure, but rather overwhelmingly empathetic.

Whereas the God of the 'Old Testament' has some harsh actions and policies, destroying Sodom and Gomorrah, threatening to punish the Israelites if they didn't follow his commands, telling Abraham to sacrifice is son, banishing Adam and Eve from Eden, etc. There's nothing comparable to that at all in the New Testament. The New Testament is fundamentally different in tone from the Old Testament in this manner.

At least up until recently, it would have been 'Old Testament Fire and Brimstone' , 'Jesus / New Testament, Peace and Love' in popular imagination.
> You can avoid both by only accept payments in the form of cash and bank transfers without a proper payroll. Legally dubious, but there are people out there who actually do this.

Well there's the issue, isn't it? The government has to know your identity unless you're committing a crime.

> The government has an interest in many things. Doesn’t necessarily mean that individuals share that interest and should capitulate.

This isn't an argument against the government knowing who its citizens are.

> Ultimately it’s down to the individual (in my view) to decide how much info they give to their government. But equally a government can request that info in exchange for government services, assuming that info is needed to provide that service.

Why should we be providing any service to anybody without having any information about them? So one person can show up and collect the same benefits 10x at the expense of everyone else?

At a BARE MINIMUM the government has to know your identity to determine your eligiblity to vote and to levy taxes. And both of those are so fundamental and important that I don't see how you can possibly argue that "shadow citizenry" is acceptable.
You make some fair points. Thing is I've been back to Goldeneye a lot, on original hardware, emulators and even the leaked Xbox 360 version. Gameplay wise it feels quite far a head of quake 1 and 2. I read that the half life team saw Goldeneye and went and made significant changes because of it. The fact that quake 2 and Goldeneye came out in the same year is strange, Goldeneye plays like it's a generation a head of, it's environments are way more interactive, it's level design is also something that still stands up (this might be something to do with designing the levels as real places and fitting the game around it).

Bizarrely I don't think perfect dark was as good. Even worse, I kept waiting for an FPS that took Goldeneyes lessons onboard. Only thing that was timesplitters 1 and 2 (though that's because free radical were ex Goldeneye staff).

If someone could recommend an FPS that plays as well as Goldeneye I'd really want to play it :)

Obviously it's not feasible to have every parking spot pull 13KW, they would need to coordinate to manage load.

The core thing is that you're assuming that every parked car arrives in the evening with near-zero charge and needs to be full in the morning. This is not the case, cars are parked 95% of the time. They can charge at work on in garages too - useful for solar power peak supply.

Let's do some napkin calculations: 95% = 1 hour per day of use for 23 hours of charging. Let's assume that's 100km drive in that 1 hour, 15Kwh for a typical EV. So on average you need 15/23=0.65KW per car, not 13KW. There's 285 million cars in the US, so you'd need 4.3 billion KWh per day for full electric. Currently US generates 11 billion KWh per day [3].

At least out west, I'd say especially the 50s and 60s houses are built to last.

My mother still lives in the house I was raised in, and it's largely original in fundamental construction -- built in 1914. Small renovations over the years, but when she passes the house will undoubtedly be completely gutted to the studs and redone. Gone will be the lathe & plaster, but on the bright side the electric wiring will be modern as well as the plumbing, HVAC ducting, insulation, etc.

But even so, that house was primarily built from 2x4. Even at two stories with a basement. My own first house, by comparison, was built in 1964 and it's like a tank. Exterior walls were 2x6 by then, though dead-air w/foil was still the predominant insulation method. But the wood ... the wood ... was exquisite. It was not an expensive house by any stretch of the imagination, and yet it was constructed with wood you just flat out can't get today. Hardwood floors not because they were upscale, but because that's what all the houses got. The studs in the walls are actually 2x4 and so dense it's hard to drive nails into them without bending. I did a little renovation and got to compare an original stud to a new one I had bought and it was incredible how different they are. The exterior siding was old growth cedar that you can't get today. In some ways, for wood construction, I'd say that era was the peak.

We may surpass it in some ways now, but only because we've fallen back on technology to do it. Instead of simple wood beams, the second floor above my current house's garage is held up by an enormous glulam beam that spans 40 feet. Wasn't really practical before glulam to do that with wood in residential construction.

I've seen lately that nobody tears down the 60s era ranch houses around here when they want to backfill an area. They move the house onto a new foundation and then renovate it and modernize the exterior looks so it fits in.

You Are Using the ‘5 Whys’ Wrong. Here’s How to Improve
You are getting at a pretty fluid and open concept of authenticity...wish we all (gestures at everybody but also a bit at self at the end) felt so unencumbered, but it does kinda conflict with patterns that a lot of experts and would-be experts really treasure--for example the idea that there's a qualitatively better way to develop one's identity and interests. And the "it's a fad" perspective carries a lot of stodgy but kinda relevant baggage for people like them-us.

That aspect of stepping into an exciting new role as part of a performance of what one sees in their feed, may be only part of a sort of ephemeral-passion-first route leading to more and deeper passion later, but a lot of times it is also a feed-candy-first thing in which the entire cultural or historical narrative of that hobby is effectively told to shove off. Carrying that narrative forward are a lot of people who have deep, relevant experience but who are effectively voiceless in comparison to feed-churn content creators.

Plus there are a lot of deeply-qualified experts who look out onto that feed-world every day and wish for even just a few seconds of recognition for their own difficult-to-relate depth of interest, and instead they see shallow content, the /r/stupidfood of whatever it is they're good at.

Just offering perspectives--
Do you have a single example where people don't abuse the system to treat it like a speculative asset?
The difference is mostly due to the fact that the grid in Europe tend to be mostly buried. A large part of the electrical grid in North America is aerial due to cost and geographical constraints (burying in solid rock is expensive, and doesn't make sense with lower population densities), which makes it much more vulnerable to damage by storms.
>How are you supposed to create memories and have fun if you are buying to bank on it later?

I don't think the Lego corporation cares about what people do with their Lego sets, as long as people keep buying more sets and at higher prices.

Same how Nvidia doesn't care that their GPUs end up in the hands of miners and scalpers, instead of gamers to enjoy, create memories and have fun.

All corporations have the same purpose, to generate value for their shareholders, using whichever way generates more revenue.

the difference could be in metabolism that we may need 4-5 generations of humans to see them live and grow and die -- or they might live for only a fraction of a second

> Is it possible to make a good inkjet printer?

I think so, in my experience Epson makes very good inkjet printers.

>Or is inkjet printing just an inherently bad technology?

I don't really know anything about the work that goes into developing and manufacturing these printers, but I'll never cease to be amazed by the precision and reliability at which a $700 inkjet printer can deposit 1.5 picoliter ink droplets onto the print medium.

Bad technology? I don't think so. What you can accomplish with modern inkjet printers for chump change is downright incredible.

> but these same manufacturers also make laser printers at similar price points that are much more reliable and do not have the same frustrating failure modes seemingly designed to keep you buying consumables

It's downright ridiculous to compare laser printers and inkjets, these have completely different use cases. Although these days laser printers generally do not offer advantages beyond speed and cost of operation, nice inkjets can produce crisper text at far smaller font sizes than laser printers.
