Bought the base iMac Pro right around release time. Still does everything I need at the moment. I pretty much have it maxed out with about 19 USB cables running off of it(synthisizers, midi interfaces, external drives, software dongles, 13

I think typical newish (2014+) devices have between 5-9ms latency. Having core audio from the start was a huge leg up for iOS for sure. I am mostly platform agnostic unless I am working with audio where I pretty much only use Apple products

The worst offenders are 2 stroke engines which are smaller per hp than 4 strokes that would live on your lawn mower where size matters less. 2 stroke engines burn oil as a feature and are irritatingly loud. Ive a mix of battery/electri

I just don’t see how this is true. Are similar assertions going to be made when we switch to electric cars as a significant percentage of the population? It’s at about 2-3% IIRC and increasing this by several orders of magnitude will have a

I remember a video circulating that had this Kevin guy talking to a vice camera crew and he took a fake call about some <mouth agape> 'Alist celebrity' just 'out of the blue'. Dude is corny... https://ww

Why is this not the top comment? This is uncharacteristically anti tesla clickbait coming from electrek.co. I dont so much care about that, but they could at least have a less inflammatory title. If you drain a 12v lead acid battery it usua

Facebook is a problem now. Apple is not that we know of. Why deflect with hypothetical scenarios?

I am all for this. I think it is something to strive for. I also think that bug fixing can sometimes take multiple hundreds of percentages of the original development time. This is where initiatives like this lose steam. Complexity of setup

I don't disagree with many of his points. Snow Leopard was built when Apple was firing on all cylinders. It was a very solid release where everyone was doing good to great work. BUUUUT- Big Sur, while not perfect, is damn good to me. T

I really struggle with a lot of these “car magazine” sites lately for a few reasons: 1- little in the way of technical content 2- high snark to signal ratio 3- listicles 4- lazy writing (they had to run the engine at a specific RPM and I

Im not sure how I feel about this. I do think that Dr Hart is probably right in an academic sense. What I worry about is that reality is messy. I think in the spectrum of people in the world there are likely people who can take heroin and o

I don’t think there is anywhere near the anecdotal evidence to support this. Even when big tobacco was in full swing people knew smoking was correlated with cancer/lung disease/etc. I felt noticeably healthier when I quit smoking

Agreed. I think what Im getting at is that (in my mind at least and I certainly could be wrong here) I just dont think it was some huge majority of people drinking gin to the point of being drunk all of the time. I recently was "lucky&

Question, because I dont know. Do identity politics help or hurt racism? My knee jerk reaction is that is highlights differences and can cause folks to dig their heels in on issues surrounding race/gender/sexuality/<person

Hysteria is an overreaction by definition. Not sure how that could ever be considered reasonable. Abuse needs to be addressed, including root causes where possible. Alcohol is definitely a public health problem, as are other drugs. Getting

I often wonder if the ‘gin hysteria’ of the Victorian times was hyperbolic. I can’t imagine that everyone who partook in drinking gin was unable to self regulate their intake. What seems to be a common thread with humanity is that those wit

I had some tap water in Scotland about 20 years ago and I still remember how amazing it tasted. This was in Aberdeen area if that makes a difference. It was like the finest artesian spring water I’ve ever had.

You raise some good points here, and this is a slippery slope were standing upon. I found it to be a little be gross to see the tweets where Taylor L was taunting Marc A to try and block her out of the chat since she got a burner account. I

You are correct in that, but I don't know that there is much difference any more. Tweets are in TV news/News websites all the time. The fact that it is a pretty well known journalist will likely hold much more weight with some fol

Greenwalds tactics aside, do we really consider someone saying the word "retard" in a private discussion newsworthy? More importantly it wasnt even reported correctly and appears to be the result of Taylor Lorenz having an axe to

I think that the bet is a bit simplistic in its scope and parameters. Society isnt going to collapse in one fell swoop unless nuclear war kills us all. If things just disintegrate and collapse, there will be a long protracted period where p
