Ask HN: Help me restore the LCD displays on classic samplers so I can use them
I have gotten hold of a few classic Akai samplers from the 90ish.
Sadly, the lcd screens are either not working, or impossible to read, or faintly visible.
This is a common problem think with a lot of electrics from the era.
I will focus on the Akai S3000XL.
Its near mint. Everything clean, wonderful buttons, mint condition inside.
Turns on spins the cdrom drive, checks the floppy.
but the screen while illuminated is entirely blank.
I can turn it on and off, and I can adjust the contract.
All of which I have done without any improvement.
Now I can easily fix this buying a replacement here
https://www.mpcstuff.com/lcd-screen-for-akai-mpc-3000-s3000xl-mpc-60ii-mpc60-led-upgrade/
But its $223USD plus shipping and customs.
I cant afford that for one sampler and no way I can afford it for several.
Here I need your help.
I am a software guy, not knowledgeable on hardware.
Displays in this form factor can be had for cheap.
but of course it won’t work (I believe) with the connections,
I need “hardware” that I can plug into the connectors for the display on the sampler,
and connect it to a cheap display that can be had cheap now.
I sort of wonder if a Pi could be used as the. Bridge hardware.
I would be quite willing to have connects hanging out of the sampler as long as I could have screen that I could look at. Then I could use ut  (ugly ugly ugly and not ideal).
How do these things work?

Are the original displays programmed in a “do this with pixel ,3,3” that is uniform at some level? Or are the displays more like a terminal?
Is there a way to unify these things?
It's advocating for equality! how could you call that "backward"?

That's not what "indiscriminate" means.

Indiscriminate attacks are those [0]:

(a) which are not directed at a specific military objective;

(b) which employ a method or means of combat which cannot be directed at a specific military objective; or

(c) which employ a method or means of combat the effects of which cannot be limited as required by international humanitarian law;

and consequently, in each such case, are of a nature to strike military objectives and civilians or civilian objects without distinction.

The fact that the pagers were obtained by Hezbollah to be used for their communications, and consequently could be expected to be exclusively in the possession of combatants means the attack was not indiscriminate.

Causing collateral damage does not make an attack indiscriminate. The standard for permissible collateral damage is that an attack must not cause loss of civilian life, injury to civilians, damage to civilian property, etc. that is excessive in relation to the anticipated concrete and direct military advantage [1].

The fact that it was so specifically targeted, combined with the small size of the explosive charges means collateral damage could be expected to be minor. And the evidence so far suggests that to have been accurate. The death of a single child is tragic, but negligible in comparison to the military advantage gained by thousands of combatants dead or wounded.

I pasted a video link and it says “Not Found”. Absolutely not the best first impression.
That's what I always thought it meant. For example, if a sign says "No Parking 4-6 PM" that proves that parking is allowed there at all other times.

An icon font ligature is just an entry in the font file that says to display a particular sequence of characters as a single glyph. In the absence of the font the browser doesn't know that the page designer (or the font designer) intended a ligature. If you force an alternative font the browser will just display the sequence of characters that made up the ligature.

A few ligatures do have their own unicode code points, e.g. ﬃ, so the browser knows what is intended independent of the font. The ligatures used by icon fonts do not have their own code points.

Why?
This is obviously satire, but a significant problem organizations have as they scale is maintaining good taste--recognizing good solutions when they are presented.

Simply put, if that packet with a plan to automate away an entire department existed and was on a conference room table, no one would connect it to the business's bottom line. It would just go unnoticed. A typical corporate America manager would be unable to comprehend that something valuable was created that they were not asked to produce by their manager, and they did not ask their team to produce.
It’s been very tightly intertwined with the position. When you retire, your wealth is gone, and sometimes retirement equals a purge. I wouldn’t call this being among the wealthy elite by any means. Today, you live in the center of Moscow, and tomorrow you’re an ‘enemy of the people’—good luck proving otherwise.

Honestly, at this point, I see absolutely zero difference, from a moral perspective, between the Israeli government and their enemies.

Both are as bad as each other and have been implicated in many war crimes and human rights abuses, however Israel has more firepower and can inflict much more damage (E.g. demolish an entire apartment block, killing hundreds of innocent people from the air).

The last thing any country should consider doing is arming or funding either side, that will be like throwing fuel on a fire. Taking sides in what is essentially a regional ethnic conflict between extremists on both sides is not a good idea.

Again, not condoning or justifying the actions of either side or taking any sides here - they are both as bad as each other.
Seems like the names of people that ran unicorns in the past is enough to build half-billion - multi-billion investments now. That's a diverging pattern from the past. The largest problem with throwing darts where you already have, is the dartboard may just fall apart in that area.

The "problem" you describe is your US citizenship requires you to pay tax on earnings from outside the US - that's a condition of US citizenship. If you don't want to pay those taxes, then renounce your US citizenship once you have, say, gained UK citizenship, if that works for you.

A famous bloke once said (probably in Hebrew, written up in Aramaic or Greek and badly translated into middle, modern and somewhat strange English): "Pay unto Caesar, that which is due to Caesar and pay unto God that which is due to God" or words to that effect. Substitute IRS for God and you have a suitably cynical aside!

If your firm over here is good enough and you are reasonably settled then why not go all in? I'm not sure what the rules are on reconnecting with the US if you have formally renounced citizenship. However, I'm sure a birth cert from Yeehaw, TX or wherever will go some way. Even so, UK citizens are generally welcomed in the Land of the Free. An ESTA (great scheme IMO) costs about £20 for two years coverage - more than enough to visit the relos.

I know from second hand experience that our bureaucracy is just as convoluted as any other and it will take roughly one to two years (that was about 10 years ago) to get citizenship and probably involves a test that I would fail!

You might like to look into where your company is actually registered. A Ltd is not you - it is a separate legal entity and the UK (etc) is quite a complicated setup within quite a complicated environment. You might explore Jersey and the Isle of Man for places to headquarter. Don't overlook Eire either (EU with UK to the north, with special arrangements)

Anyway, the snag you have is solely US based and not UK (for a change).
I actually think that an unintended consequence is that Mossad has permanently flagged the vast majority of Hizbullah's followers, an entire generation, on Lebanese soil.

The wound patterns will emerge for the vast majority of victims: arms, hands, eyes and hips ? Time will tell.

The Lebanese army, and the IDF, now suddenly can tell between civilian vs combatant.
I don't think it's productive to reply like this without acknowledging that we're operating from different premises. You're calling this "indiscriminate maiming", and I'm claiming these "maimings" are extraordinarily discriminating: they exclusively target Hezbollah military personnel, the only people carrying these devices. You clearly disagree with that premise, but that's the dispute, not whether one of us believes that massacring an entire city is a legitimate use of military force.

Per that wikipedia entry this current conflict began with an attack on Israel. Hezbollah attacked a much more powerful enemy so a statement that stops at "they've both been doing it" does not accurately capture the casus belli:

"Israel and <strikethrough>Lebanon</strikethrough> Hezbollah have been firing across the border since an October 8th strike against Israel in 2023..." etc.

That is a more complete & accurate description.

I guess the real advantage for Israel here is that they attack in a country they are not at war with without starting a war with that country.

I can't answer this for everyone, but as someone who has run 5 marathons and is running my 6th in 5 weeks (Frankfurt).

Boston has some kind of mythical status among marathoners. You're _not_ really there until you've qualified for Boston. I do not know where this comes from, but what I do know is that QUALIFYING for Boston as a male (33) is a BHAG that's fun to chase after.

Boston is the 6th of the 6 Abbot Marathon that are considered the "big" 6.
New York, London, Chicago, Boston, Berlin and Tokyo. All the others you either win the lottery our you've 4 of the other ones. Nothing you can really do in 6 conseq years.

It's not even the fastest course, but it's the course for those who are "serious" about running as a hobby. Running a marathon isn't enough. Running Boston separates you from the try-hard crowd, with a lack of a better word.
and it requires users to define filter functions, which isn't happening with any users I deal with :)
I removed the emotive kind. I’m not comfortable around them and I find them to be heavily involved with their identity and defining themselves and less about building things and going places. These are obviously broad strokes but anecdotally they have generally held true.

> An icon font ligature is just an entry in the font file that says to display a particular sequence of characters as a single glyph.

Most icon fonts use private-use codepoints, not ligatures. These codepoints have no standard glyph, so disabling site-specific fonts will make those characters fail to render at all or display placeholder characters (e.g. �).

Thankfully, icon fonts are declining rapidly in usage - SVG icons are superior for most use cases.

> A few ligatures do have their own unicode code points, e.g. ﬃ, so the browser knows what is intended.

The precomposed ligature codepoints (e.g. U+FB00-FB06) only exist for compatibility with legacy encodings which included similar characters. They shouldn't be used in new documents. If you want text on a web page to use ligatures, use the CSS font-variant-ligatures property to control which ones are used. (And make sure to disable them on monospaced text!)
It's not a terrorist attack unless the primary goal is causing terror. The primary goal here was clearly causing damage to Hamas' command structure by putting a few thousand militants in the hospital, and also literally blowing up their communications network.
Isn't that the point of the "past" button though? I've always assumed the purpose of Dang's "related" comments were to help bridge the discussion.

Yes, we have an ongoing problem with HN guidelines requiring us to use the original headline even if it's misleading and/or needs some editorializing. Better would be:

"IG to automatically put teens into private accounts with increased restrictions and parental controls" (the full original title) or even:

"IG to automatically infer teens' age and assign them private accounts with increased restrictions and parental controls" (slightly editorialized full original title, emphasizes the "automatically infer age" part over the "even if they're lying" part)

Second, the proposed rollout is only immediate for new accounts not existing accounts, however, those will only be processed next year.

That's a far better death rate than the original marathon.

(1 death per 1 participant according to the tale of Pheidippides.)
In case you want to look into it further: My router actually allows adding exemptions to this policy on a per-hostname basis!

Sometimes I wish it would allow wildcards, but honestly that's probably just another way for users to shoot themselves in the foot (e.g. by adding '*').
If I was wounded (or even witnessed this in real life), I would go from civilian to combatant instantly. Israel just attacked a bunch of civilian population centers. This will be seen as a huge strategic mistake, both in terms of new combatants created on the ground and continued loss of good will for Israel abroad.
How do we know this didn't do this but in reverse, being used to disrupt an attack Hezbollah had planned? Edit: People seem to be ignoring the large amount of Syrian operatives this hit as well.

why is the title so bland? It fails spectacularly at communicating the scale of the event. They went with a dog bites man headline instead.
If it doesn't matter, they shouldn't hesitate to drop the claim from their marketing material, right? Right?? Oh... it does matter and that's why they're lying.

It’s not like only high earners need to commute to work, need shelter, healthcare, or phone plans, or have families, in which having more money can only help. And it’s not like these expenses scale with income, unlike taxes.

I was unable to participate in team sports and eventually shunned any type of physical education, until I was nearly 50.

I found group classes preferable to just hitting the gym. At the gym, there was a bunch of machines and equipment; I didn't know what I was doing with them, so I relied heavily on personal trainers and worried a lot about proper form, and how to efficiently use time and effort to get some results. It took a while to define my goals and the means to those ends, and thus decide on which machines to use, from a bewildering array of choices. I also had social anxiety because of mixed gender and being older than most. There were TV monitors playing dumb shows to distract me even more. I fumbled just to account for my regimen, tally up reps/sets/times, and enter them into my app.

In a group class, there was a clearly-defined program and leader who could demonstrate all the moves and coach us through a routine. There was some equipment, but everyone was using it the same way, so I could take cues from others. The leader was able to suggest easy/challenging modifications according to our skill levels. The music was programmed by the leader and not a "one size fits all" high-energy radio station.

There was yoga and pilates, and a majority of women leading and taking the classes, but one or two men attending as well. One looked me in the eye and thanked me for coming, and I presumed it was a "minorities gotta stick together" statement.

A central point of their thesis is that Systemd folks bullied others into accepting it.

What I find most amazing is we actually figured out how important interoperability is back when Adobe PDF and Microsoft Word were proprietary formats. Decades ago everyone realized how messed up it was that these files were hostage and subject to the whims of their parent companies, that access to them was contingent on many factors outside our control, that long-term access to them was a massive risk.

Fast-forward to today and we are stuck in "walled gardens" all over again with more restrictions than Microsoft and Adobe ever dreamed of, our devices are hostage, our usage is heavily taxed, our perception of pricing is skewed, our payment options all feed back to a single beneficiary, and regulators seem almost powerless to end it.
