Yeah, what is it with people calling turbines "windmills"? They don't grind corn. Is it supposed to be a some kind of cheesy insult? It just makes you sound stupid if you call them windmills.

This is/was a project in the USA. Europe is baffled by this US administration but has no say if the US does something so short-sighted. It's not like the Trump administration is stopping off shore wind projects here... yet.

Apparently the actual Yamaha CS-80 used by Vangelis on Blade Runner along with his patches is at Nemo Studios in London. That's like a priceless holy relic as far as I'm concerned. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki&#x2

The really interesting thing about the MC-8 is that it’s pre-MIDI, so CV and gate. Tangerine Dream are listed as users on the wiki page so I guess he could have got it from them with the Moog. As with all things vintage music Alex Ball has

Of course. “Body count” is a poor proxy for fidelity. That doesn’t mean it hasn’t historically been used for that purpose.

Probably no one actually follows this rule. That doesn't mean that teenage boys are either the origin or the ones perpetuating it. They're just an easy target to throw crap at.

I believe it came from a womens' dating forum. Now do most women seriously follow it? Almost certainly not but I don't know any blokes that care about this rule. Why would they? Are you the type of person that believes only men

Depends on what the goal is. If it's just dating or a one night stand I think men can sometimes have potentially no standards at all. If it's about marriage then there's things like hip to waist ratio, facial symmetry but I t

I think maybe the famous surviving Risc OS application might be Sibelius music notation program. It’s owned by Avid now but it started as the work of two brothers on an Acorn Archimedes under Risc OS. https://www.avid.com/

This is a nice update. Is it possible to either have multiple ractors dispatching jobs with fibres or to set up multiple queues with different strategies? E.g. one for IO bound and one for CPU bound? With Sidekiq I’ve had luck having worker

You can fuck right off trying to create a closed league where only a "chosen" few clubs take part. It might just be an entertainment spectacle to you but for others it's very tied into local identity. The idea that outside mo

In the case of Acorn they had hardware memory protection[1] and their own CPU designs[2]. In place of Irving Gould Acorn ended up with some clown called Stan Boland who decided it was better to change the name, stop making workstations and

Patch cables will need to be stored externally, as with other semi-modular synths. I've seen little cable hangers but it would be unusual to have that as part of the main design. They say that it comes with a custom hard case to hold

This is the oddest statement I've read in a while. How is there "no musical value in a polyphonic analogue synthesizer"? There's a lot of unique music written using polyphonic analogue synths. Enough that people clearly
