> James likely also used the onboard sequencers on the Roland SH-101, while using CV and MIDI to keep different devices in sync.

> These ambient pads were likely recorded with the Yamaha DX-100 or DX7, as these were the only polyphonic synths James mentioned owning at the time. He likely used the DX strings patches, as they have long attack and release times as well as mellow, sine-like oscillator sounds.

> These were likely recorded on the Roland SH-101, a revered analog monophonic synth from 1982.

So is this all speculation of RDJ's production methods or was this directly sourced based on what RDJ himself said?
SEPA instant transfers are (unfortunately) not free or even available everywhere.

My bank had them for a while, they cost 5€ but they are currently (and have been for a few months already) unavailable due to "widespread fraud".
I'm still surprised they are using the fb.com domain.
Why haven't they move to meta.com?
I thought so too. They did not have to be so generous.
16 weeks of base pay + 6 months of health insurance and everything else, looks like a decent severance package at least. This seems better handled than Twitter's layoffs.
This is a joke. Courses are far better than this.
Spent £116 through the App Store on version 1 of this software not long ago and now I can't upgrade, but instead, have to buy it all again at a "discount". Downloading my versions means looking through the purchase history too.

Not happy with that - would advise against it.
A regulated cryptosphere is mostly toothless. If people wanted that kind of regulatory overhead they could just use PayPal or bank transfers denominated in central bank currencies.

For all of the problems in the cryptosphere, traditional LizardFi isn't doing especially well either. My view is that the regulated cryptosphere will feature the worst of both worlds. CBDC is lurking somewhere nearby in this scenario.

There will always be a market for open frontiers. Gatekeepers will always seek to fence and capture these areas. New technologies will emerge as the old areas are locked down. Pioneering individuals will always find a way.
FWIW, I wrote that piece so if you have questions, shoot :)
I view it more as a platform-independent building block to be used by library authors. For instance, here's our suite of byte order macros that this will not simply replace:

I have no say in the "viability" of blockchain as a technology, but my understanding is that future work is usually built on existing work, regardless of current feasibility.

For example, the legend of how Space Shuttle components are transported by trains and thus built into sizes suitable for train tracks, which are built based on the size of wagon tramways, which were built on the size of rutted roads, which were originally built by the Romans for their horse drawn carriages, and thus the Roman road gauge of 4 feet 8.5 inches is now part of the spec of the Space Shuttle.

I don't think anyone can deny is that there is a significant amount of engineering work that is going into blockchain technology. Thus I suspect there is going to be nontrivial amounts of future technology built on blockchain or blockchain related infrastructure.

Distributed ledgers are not a scam, and our true best hope for anti-corruption.

I would like every elected official to have all their income and spending listed on a public ledger.

True accountability of representatives to those they purport to represent will solve so many problems, both in terms of the types of people incentivized to become public servants, and also in terms of public understanding of spending and waste.

All this "crypto" is intellectual warm-up for what is to come, I'd highly suggest looking at rollups (what I would describe as ledgers within ledgers) which are delving into the true possibilities of next-to-zero cost of immutable transaction records.
On HP-UX we would just use vaults, already in 1999.
Yeah, totally this - I recently cropped my Adobe CC suite down to just Illy, which i need, and bought Affinity's wares to replace, but it's no contest. Aside from literal decades of muscle memory, there's just too many speedbumps in the way of my normal workflow. So, I've dug out my copy of Photoshop CS2 so I can do all my cleaning up and processing in there.

Once I've found out what the difference between Affinity versions 1 and 2 is, I might yet buy 2 anyway, just to support Serif some more, because I'm frankly fed up of Adobe's practice of unhinged monolithic greed.

Just put a Debian or Alpine install in a minimum disk image file, and mount a host machine path as a samba share from inside the VM (i.e. the user can edit the VM code without having to import/export constantly).

Is anyone using Affinity for cartography? I’m currently using ArcGIS —> Illustrator workflow but am curious if a QGIS —> Affinity workflow is feasible.
These distinctions are pretty arbitrary, maybe just wait for GP to clarify.
Factorio's graphics are 3D rendered via a pipeline to 2D sprites, multiple angles for the character & vehicle models, but only one for buildings since the camera angle is fixed. I mean that's not really pixel art anymore (fairly high resolution), but still a 3d-to-2d pipe.
You sound like me, here's what I did. I switched over to educational/helpful and no clickbait. I started writing with the goal of explaining some problem I had and how i solved it. These were the worst performing I've ever had.

Then I went into reporting the news and trying to cut the exaggeration. These went bad and never did well.

then I reported the news adding to the exaggeration and these did ok. I get the problem of the mainstream media and their lies.

then I tried the 'lets create a rop 0day and display it' and then you get lawyers.

then I tried social engineering educational and the need to be ever vigilant. Tons of comments, mostly everyone hates you for tricking them with social engineering.

then I did a spotlight on some key awesome open source people and somehow this did great. I wasn't even expecting it to do well and they were super niche people.

then we got a web marketing person and I was taken off the job.
> Where is the time limit in Netflix for Kids?

It's called parenting

> It is much easier to set a limit on a device that is cold and inhuman and can't be pleaded with for more screen time than it is to try and manually enforce such a limit.

If you don't want to do parenting, then you can also block access to netflix (or from the tv or whatever) at your router.
Certificate revocation checks already work fine without a blockchain. No one pays monthly for domains; existing registrars let you pay in advance for multiple years and are quite cheap.

You should read the NIST blockchain technology overview because you clearly don't understand how to make the right engineering calls.

Musk only authorized 3 months' severance to substantiate the 90 days needed to prevent being sued into oblivion. The man is going to do the bare minimum for his employees to recoup his loss in making the acquisition.

It's not so much about grit and determination or whatever these days. It's that there are smart and kind people willing to help each other out online, for free. It takes a community, not individual superpowers.

You don't have to be very smart or driven to be a developer. You just have to be willing to admit ignorance and ask for help.
There are plugins like improved tables ( https://github.com/tgrosinger/advanced-tables-obsidian ) which make markdown tables quicker to write up.
>the millions of people who died, had long-term illness, or were caring for their relatives weren’t contributing to the economy.

They were dominated (at least by the publicly-available figures here in the UK) by retired folks. No, in a purely pragmatic sense, they don't contribute much to the economy, especially as any wealth they do have gets immediately re-distributed on death anyway.

If we were talking about some terrible disease (like Smallpox, for example), where the young and old alike died in huge numbers, then the argument would be different.

>Can you give details on where you believe this happened?

Are you kidding me? Maritime shipping and aviation are two obvious examples.

Yes, but what was unreachable may get reachable as I do changes to the program. I see the utility when doing highly optimized library code.

But for my purposes I much prefer to stick something which flags me (exception or logging or whatever) of "this should never happen" instead of crashing. (Undefined.)

>plateauing at L6 level while your peers become directors. Why would you want to make 250k while your friends make 450k.

I'm always surprised how often this comes up. The salaries in our industry are so absurd that I find it hard to believe that this, at the margin, is supposed to be so relevant. Same with the comparisons to your peers.

What our peers do and where they stand on some invented hierarchy sounds like straight out of high school. At some point in life you got to have the maturity to make decisions based on what you're genuinely passionate about. Always makes me sad when someone's like "I liked programming but I plateaued, therefor I'm now growing doing something I don't like".

Quillst.com – Sometimes the traditional way of writing is not enough
TLDR; We all have stories to tell and sometimes the traditional way of writing is not enough. Here are stories meant to be read step by step with ambience music and sound effects.

Hi!

I've been tinkering on an idea that I had a while ago. I'm not an experienced writer and found myself with a problem to solve. A few years ago I met a girl on an airport and felt so many things that day that I couldn't express myself with just text, so I created something to fix that.

I ended up building quillst.com, where you can write and read stories, line by line, with the immersive experience of having sounds and ambience music. I'm thinking on the possibility of adding illustrations and interactiveness in the near future.

There are a couple of stories already there but if you're curious, the story of the girl at the airport is `yellow dress girl`.

I'd love to hear what you think and/or if you wanna give it a try, your stories!

Cheers,
Ramiro.

As a typophile, the body/H3 text (P/H3 tag) where "letter-spacing" set to "-1px" and "-2px" respectively, makes the website content difficult to read since each letter doesn't have enough room to breath.

(Love the idea of the website btw)
I think it was mostly a bubble and it finally has popped. The big social networks were funded blindly because they were growing on the market. But of course it wouldn't be eternal
Yeah this is what I would expect is the correct answer - it looks good to have a big reporting structure under you.

Just months ago, "The Crying CEO" guy became a viral meme for expressing too much empathy in a layoff.

It's fucking job terminations. You're GOING to be criticized no matter how you do them. The best approach is to just be robotic about it, and maybe throw in a platitude that amounts to, "It's not you, it's me".
TikTok is a Chinese company bringing in mountains of data on US citizens, including the ability to influence what people in the US see on a daily basis. The Chinese government would never sell that kind of leverage to anyone, let alone to Facebook, which is banned in China.

Because people upvoted it; if you think the submission is inappropriate you can flag it for review.
I suspect this move away from the App Store is probably because the App Store _still_ doesn't have a reasonable way to do upgrade pricing. Affinity v3 (whenever that comes out) would be able to offer specific upgrade pricing because they've left the App Store.

Edit to add link from another comment: https://twitter.com/affinitybyserif/status/15903262690314649...

Serif actually said that this is specifically what happened
It's undefined behavior. The compiler is free to do whatever, including making your program more broken.
They removed about:config from android firefox builds except for the nightly builds. Mildly enraging, that.
I use a table plugin for both phone and desktop. It's a little finicky on the phone, but doable.
One thing people are missing is that you may need to use this to satisfy conditions that the compiler might encounter to emit a warning (or error if equivalent of -Werror is enabled). If you have strict warnings on, but no way to tell the compiler that a location should not be reachable, you wind up in situations where you are doing something like `assert(!"not reached!")` and it won't be enabled in all build types. This is similar to how `__attribute__((noreturn))` is used in a "fatal" function that isn't always enabled but needs to convey its intention to static analyzers so that they stop evaluating branches past that call.
Maybe I'm missing something obvious, but how does open sourcing something imply they are not proponents of software freedom? For me, it would imply (or be rather explicit) that they are proponents of software freedom.
A pity but it’s reasonable.
Yeah, ads revenues are down which means a whole load of ad-supported business models are no longer economically viable.

Keep in mind that government reports have a time lag. It's based on someone doing research some time ago. The time lag could easily be months. If it was 100% true at the time of research, the current situation may be very different.

"outstanding" meaning "open", which is what GP referred to
What does that even mean? He won't have to work for a few centuries instead of a millennium? Lol.

Compared to his employees' livelihoods, a billionaire losing some bit of their immeasurable wealth is irrelevant. He made a stupid bet and doesn't suffer any real consequences for it because Meta has no real accountability.
I am the author of the tutorial. I created a tool that captures keystrokes and file operations in a popular editor and allows them to be played back in a browser. The author can then add a narrative as the code evolves with text, pictures, and videos.

I have more 'books' on C++, python, SQL, web dev, dart/flutter, clojure, ruby, and more:

https://markm208.github.io/

I use these for the programming-focused cs courses that I teach instead of having the students buy bloated textbooks. The students prefer them to books (no surprise) and videos (somewhat surprising). The code is searchable and copy/pasteable so the students actually use it.

The tool is free and open.
It is a cool trick, but it was a surprise to me that they go to such lengths to get a "busy" CPU to handle the timer expiration. I would have thought that you'd want to handle extra work like timer expiration with an idle CPU, since the busy CPU has (by definition) other work to do. OTOH you could also argue that timer expiration does not take a lot of time and so the slowdown would be negligible. The power savings might be worth more. If it does matter you could always pin code and timers to specific CPUs I guess.

This does seems to be one of the usecases that you would want to use the little cores in a big/little architecture for btw.
