> I'm curious about how much work goes into recording high-quality, looping sounds like this?

When I started the site, I mainly used CC0 licensed sounds others had recorded.

Then I started recording my own sounds. How much work it is is very situational - if you regularly find yourself in an environment which has the sound you want to record, and not many other sounds around, then it's pretty trivial. For example, you want to record rain in the forest, and you regularly walk in a forest where it rains and there aren't many other noise sources (e.g. other people, planes overhead, singing birds, etc). The actual recording itself doesn't take much work, because I shoot for a level of sound quality that will satisfy 80%-90% of people, rather than a real "audiophile" quality level.

On the other hand, if you want to record something that only happens occasionally and with lots of other noise sources nearby, it can be a ton of work. For example, you want to record the sound of thunder, but you only get occasional storms, you live in a city with lots of other background noise, and it usually rains when it storms and you want rain on the recording. In that scenario, you might have to travel far and burn a ton of time trying to get the right conditions for recording.

are you kidding? he totally made the place better. did his job infinitely better than the job description required and what did he get for all his trouble? a big slap in the face from his boss. of course he left and took his skills with him. most companies just don't know how to recognize and appreciate above average skills/productivity, this is sadly a recurrent feature of many work places.
I made two LinkedIn courses. One has paid off its royalties; the other is on its way there. Should be >$500/month combined soon!

I'm also working on an app that allows you to set a universal status across multiple platforms. I use it to automate my Slack statuses from my TripIt trips, but I want to add integrations for Google Calendar and WhatsApp. It's really rough right now but my future intent is to find a way to monetize it when it's cleaner.
> However, after talking to so many parents, many of them are trying to "survive" first, before they can "thrive." They're working full-time jobs. They experience constant guilt that they aren't doing good enough. They read articles everyday about parenting, but struggle to implement what they're learning. They watch their kids addicted to their screens, playing games and watching TikToks, but they feel powerless to manage it.

But these are all issues with parents, not with kids. Why not make a gamification app for parents to help them parent better? I think someone else suggested an app that shut off the parents phones for a period of time. Or an app where parents and kids do chores together?

And realistically kids are only doing 15min of chores a day. They make their bed, throw their dirty clothes in the hamper, put away their toys and they’re usually done. Maybe a chore in the yard too. And the rest of the time this virtual pet is just eating up screen/brain time just like any of the other screen time apps you mentioned. So it’s not reducing screen time, is it?

Every device already has a screen time limit and parental controls to limit time and content as needed.

Like you said: “In an ideal world, there would be no need for Joon.”

So why shoot so low? Why not aim high and create a better world where apps like Joon don’t need to exist? That might mean addressing the cause of the problem, rather than masking the symptoms.

I dislike the rule of "small PRs" because people tend to interpret it as "arbitrary number of lines changed", and end up breaking a bugfix or feature into many PRs that don't make sense to review or release in isolation. I interpret "small PRs" as being "PRs should be about one bugfix/feature".
American Express generally charges the most. They get away with it with breaks for small businesses and arguing that Amex customers will spend substantially more in the shop when they come in.

Visa and Mastercard’s merchant fees vary depending on what card it is. For most cards issued through those networks, the fees are lower than AmEx’s but for the highest end Visa Infinite (like the Sapphire Reserve) the fees are higher than AmEx’s. According to the merchant agreement, if you the merchant take any Visa’s you have to take all of them.
> This is true. As a customer, depending on the good-will of leadership to counterbalance the influence of capital is depending on humans, and even really good ones are fallible and temporal.

Well, I dunno, you always are depending on the "good will" of leadership. They could decide to squeeze every cent and provide as little value as possible at any time, whether they have venture funding or not. If your alternative is a "non profit", look at Mozilla, plenty of people unhappy with a lot of their decisions and users feeling "betrayed". I don't think we can expect most services to run as non-profits regardless. It's an imperfect system, but is the best we've got so far.

> From a consumer's point of view, once an organization gets in the mindset of optimizing for value capture over value creation and openness, it's time to consider moving on.

I'd argue this comes after the IPO. When you have millions in venture capital, is easy to keep running the business at a loss and keep growing. When it's time to make a profit is when things start getting hard.

I suppose this is what some people don't like. They'd like founders/businesses that stay small and focused on a niche, make money but not too much and keep a good value product running. Without looking at 1Password finances though, even when it was a paid service, we don't know how profitable it was, if at all, and may be going after enterprise customers with this new funding is the only way to not only 'break even' and start making some good profits.
true, forgot that bit! I like Kazam [1] or OBS for screen recording.

Approval voting should be supported wherever it is an option to replace FPTP, but I'm always worried that if a voting reform is adopted, and an election produces a strange result, some people will blame the voting system and want to return to FPTP (poisoning the well for future reforms).

The way I can imagine an approval voting election going badly is a situation where a major candidate - let's call him John Barron - is so disapproved of by supporters of the opposing party, that those supporters feel compelled to approve a "lesser of two evils" member of Barron's party, who ends up winning with an apparent landslide of votes.

In such a situation, if voters had been able to express the relative strength or conditionality of their support for this "less of two evils" candidate, the election winner might have been a better compromise candidate, or, indeed, the opponents of Barron could have had their first choice elected if they had stayed ideologically pure and not tried to hedge their bets.

This may seem like an edge case, and maybe in the long run the political culture of a country would change and new parties would emerge which would stop this result from happening, but I still feel that there is an inherent problem in asking voters to say which candidates they "approve" of, without really specifying what that means (or what the tactical implications are).

It effectively requires ranking all the candidates in order, and choosing a threshold above which all candidates are "approved", and below which none are, but how that threshold is set is left as an exercise to the voter - an exercise which in practice has a right and wrong answer, which can only be determined after the result has been announced.

I guess, when you curate your own consumption you pick what speaks to you?

Music is not like a new phone. There are no "upgrades".

Maybe it is futile to conceptualize old / new music? We have music, and then just an expansion of the catalog.

Well, if they want to ban the communication of certain numbers and collapse their online economy that’s their problem.

But what these idiots frequently ask for is a backdoor key to encryption that only the government can use. It’s frustrating to see weapons-grade technical ignorance in our leaders when we have an increasingly technical society.
I don't think I listen to anything that's autotuned. But I also don't think music is dying, so there's that.
You're talking about mainstream music, which is essentially mcdonald's and starbuck's. There are millions of other coffee shops and burger stands out there that are only serving thousands of people instead of billions.
I already pay yearly for the apps. I can roll that cost in and it might be fine.

Kanye West is one of the most listened to artists in the last two decades, and is widely considered one of the most influential artists of the last two decades.

If you haven't at least tried to listen to My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy with an open mind, you can't really trash on his music. If you have, and still don't like it, that's fair.
I think you're being accurate but maybe also quote the numbers from August when you still had a full-time gig.
I think that is part of it, also the way that mass-market music is mixed today. It's very loud all the time and has no dynamic range. This has been a problem for a while TBH but it certainly isn't better in 2022. It all combines to make a very artificial sound.
I've got multiple domains on "G Suite legacy" which the admin console claims have been around since March of 2013. Given the article references December 6, 2012 as the date they stopped offering this I'm wondering if I somehow have a different product that wasn't sunset?

The name is exactly what's referenced in this article, but I've received no notice, and I don't see any warnings on admin.google.com for these accounts.

What gives?
If they’d just let me transition my account to a normal one so I don’t lose everything I’ve purchased in the play store that’d be fine. I don’t need everything else, I just don’t want to lose what I’ve already paid for.
True, but I feel that is not in the spirit of the game.
> Identity is a wedge used to split class solidarity (but note the terrific solidarity of the elite class).

It's not, inherently, though it can be used that way, which is the essence of bourgeois identity politics, which is a distinct subset of identity politics.

> The best improvements for everyone will come from policies which ignore identity and materially improve the lives of people.

Identity is often intimately tied to distinct material circumstances; policies that “ignore identity and materially improves the loves of people”, without exception, ignore the distinct material circumstances of identifiable groups of people while improving the material circumstances of other groups of people, and invariably do so in ways which favor the groups most privileged by visibility in the status quo.

> The Democratic party has held the belief that demographics will keep them in power without having to actually address economic and legal inequalities

That's very much not true of either of the major factions of the Democratic Party. The dominant neoliberal centrist faction actively doesn't want to deal with the economic inequalities more than is necessary to smooth out social disruptions interfering with corporate capitalist profit making (though it does want to deal with legal inequalities that impede efficient exploitation of human potential by capital), to the point of being willing to have the party lose power rather than doing more than is necessary to that end, whereas the progressive populist wing actively wants to deal with the problems.

And neither faction is so ignorant of the political realities of the US system to expect that the party is secure in it's (extremely narrow) federal legislative majority or control of the White House.

I only know the one where he talked over the top of a Daft Punk track. I already had the CD with the Daft Punk track which was really the same song so I just kept that one.
Anecdotally, recently my dad got me a Tidal subscription (which has masters at supposedly higher quality than CDs) and an entry-level DAC. The two put together have blown me away and I've been having a blast the last couple of weeks re-listening to all my favourite records from as far back as the 70s.

I think the 70s are also around the same time that a lot of familiar genres started to emerge, while music from before then is often dismissed as "oldies" or saved for special occasions - e.g. old crunchy recordings of Christmas songs.
This just isn't true? There is tons of new amazing music out there in every genre. You can find amazing new jazz, metal, electronic, bluegrass, etc. You name it, there is somebody out there making good music in that genre today. You just have to look beyond what is talked about on TV.

Hacking in some form (essentially being a script kiddie) isn't that difficult for a kid, especially if there is something to gain - bragging rights at least.

We got internet when I was 9. By the time I was 11 in the early 2000s, I was a full-blown script kiddie, scouring astalavista.box.sk for tools and scripts to hack anything that I could. I'd also hang on IRC. I thought hacking was the coolest thing ever, and took any opportunity to access anything forbidden or leave a silly signature anywhere. I didn't discriminate. It didn't matter that I had zero connection with any of these websites and services I 'hacked', I thought I was so cool.

Most of the stuff I did was simply following the instructions / tutorials, mostly Google dorking for strings in php files and using documented exploits. I never succeeded in any sort of targeted attack, and I lived in such a shithole that nothing important was online at the time, anyway. All of this was extremely low impact.

The only thing even remotely impressive about any of this was that I initially had very poor control of English. I was using a primitive, non-phraseological dictionary all the time, and somehow understood enough to actually apply some of the tutorials I read. People don't give kids enough credit for their determination and persistence, and kids have so much of free time to learn whatever they set their mind to.
There's this old idea (~10 years old) of having the USPS become a PKI-token agency, especially because USPS already has the infrastructure to physically deliver items to every house in the USA.

These physical tokens can be as simple as a randomly-generated QR-code, or a full and proper PKI physical token / smartcard system (or anything in between).

Furthermore, USPS needs more traffic / package deliveries (especially since its lost Amazon as a customer). Increasing the amount of goods flowing around physically in the USPS system is definitely a benefit, especially if its for ensuring the physical security of these hypothetical security tokens.

IE: The USPS is uniquely situated to become a premier ID of the US government. Certainly more situated than the current standard, the Social Security Administration. Or the loose confederation of ~48 "RealID" state drivers license.
In my case it won't, because, of course, it's all backed up locally. This Google outfit can be pretty sketchy at times - needed to make sure they didn't close down and take my stuff.
Is autotune ubiquitous? Other than the trend of artists like T-Pain who used it for stylistic effect (who actually has a great natural singing voice- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CIjXUg1s5gc), I don't think it was ever overwhelmingly used except in certain genres such as EDM.

Any ignorance of Kanye West song names may simply be a reflection of his more avant-garde new albums not having the same memorable hooks as old ones, but I can at least think of one recent song by him ("Donda").
> Ask people on the street to actually name a Kanye West song and most of them struggle

I think Kanye may be a terrible example for your point since people tend to listen to his music for the lyrics, which are often well crafted. Your point makes more sense for mass produced pop music where the lyrics for almost every major song are written by ~6 different groups. In that case most of the lyrics tend to have similar tone and themes and so it matters much less who is singing them.
Just a heads up: my company blocks this site as malware
It sounds like they did make the place better, and the company stiffed them and they left and then things were no longer better.
PowerShell doesn't expand wildcards by default either, because it also assumes that commands handle their own wildcards by default.

You can cobble together the expansion somewhat easily yourself with something like Resolve-Path in PowerShell, but PowerShell doesn't use a posix-like approach here with "native" commands either because Windows (and DOS) has always left wildcard handling to EXEs by default.
Really common to do it in spare time as an intro to doing it as a consultant. Esp. if you have electronics skills it's not hard to find work. As a "side hustle" though, it's generally about selling a hardware product, a tool, or your skills (SkillaaS).

Embedded is a broad term though, say a bit more about your experience and interests and maybe someone will pop up with pointers.
Well let me ask the much more obvious question, for something as important as protecting your passwords, why on earth would you go with a proprietary service where you have no idea about the security, that could take away your access at a whim without any recourse for you?

I never read the post "Aella takes LSD" because the title is cringeworthy enough. People have been taking LSD since 1943 but every day somebody from the bay area writes something obnoxious that is more an exercise in personal branding than an earnest addition to a large literature.

Also the acid doesn't seem like particularly outrageous simping. Ordinary people can get acid for $5 a hit or so in most places in the U.S. and that seems like an extraordinary value. In the 1990s I knew people who'd gotten $35 sheets (100 doses, albeit weak in that time frame) in the bay area which has long been a distribution center for the stuff.
G Suite Business Starter is $6/user. Even if you find something viable for, say, $3/user (and I really doubt so), it just not worth the fuss with migration.

I am a long-time 1Password user who recently made the leap to their hosted service. 1Password remains best-in-class for me and has a terrific security record, especially compared to their peers. While I too lament the everything-is-a-subscription-now trend, I remain a strong supporter and avid fan of 1Password.

The latest integrations offered, for browsers and for e.g. Fastmail masked email address generation [1], only work with the cloud offering. I am happy to report that these latest offerings are fantastic and have tremendous UX.

Kayne's in the top 20 of most albums ever sold.. OP saying he basically doesn't exist because some hypothetical people hypothetically wouldn't be able to name a song is hilarious. And chalking that up to autotune?
I choose to read this as a ever more pressing need to explore music beyond 12-tet. and not just in a niche microtonal fashion.

computers can take us there but not so long as MIDI is the standard. the 'problem' (which is really more of an opportunity to improve and go beyond) is not MIDI but the conceptual theoretical framework of the 12-notes keyboard underlying all 'western' traditions.

but don't get me wrong, it's no coincidence that this 12 notes system is so widespread, it really is very well made. anything that attempts to take music beyond it needs to be even better, which ain't easy as it's quite something already.

in summary, computer technology has so far just made cheaper and easier to do the same things that were already possible. no new things have been tried yet regarding the choice of notes to use.

When you go grocery shopping, you can A) create a list of dinner ideas and the ingredients that you need to pick up, group them in the order that they appear in the store, and head straight to the aisles to get the items. Or B) go in with the list in mind, but wander through the whole store and you may find something else interesting to pick up. Or C) not have any but the most vague dinner ideas, go without a list, and create a week's worth of dinners as you browse picking up interesting items and figuring out what to do with them.

All depends on if you want the most efficient approach, or if you want serendipity to strike.
