   I don't know if Skype got better but back when the universal switch to discord began, skype was very bad. It also crashed, it also had bugs, and its VOIP quality was poor (better than Adobe Connect or the stuff you'd see shipping

   With the impending sunset of Google Hangouts, I've been using discord for family communication. It is nice that the barrier of entry is low enough that you can actually get people to use it, and that you can use it on desktop (otherwis

   Discord wins because it allows you, the member of an existing community to set up a new subset of that community over which you have power. For a while I thought discord was paying people to create communities for everything but then I real

   I assumed that rognvald used a tracker but his Rognmashine plugin seems to run only on Max for Live: http://rognvald.com/Rognmashine.html which suggests that Live is his Daw of choice (though I can't independently conf

   When you need to track down your username months later it's nice to have that confirmation you can find later. It does not hurt to give your customers a searchable database of transactions and such.

   We used to have multiple incompatible chargers that looked different so you could tell them apart. Now you have multiple incompatible chargers that look the same, so you need to use trial and error to figure out what can charge what. It&#x2

    This article is talking about the notation of programming syntax (ie Backus-Naur form[1]) while many of the comments are talking about syntax itself. [1] https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Backus%E2%80%93Naur_form

    Maybe projects should add to their code of conduct "No spelling or copy changes are acceptable during October"

    Putting your customers on hold is treating them as adversaries. It's usually a signal that whatever product you're calling about is a scam. Unfortunately, participating in some scams (ie healthcare) are pretty much mandatory.

    Consider how long life existed before the Cambrian explosion happened though. What are the chances that metazoans evolve from a given planet's microorganisms? One in eight per billion years?

    I don't think the thing stopping people from taking vitamins is that they aren't being handed out for free. If you think the mask 'debate' is anti-intellectial, try talking to people about nutrition.

    I'm just not convinced that what they provided couldn'tve been provided just as well by proper pirate sites, or that they are more discoverable than pirate sites.
