While not being a fan of dongles and adapters, I have to note that afaik the power and data/audio signals of usb-c are independent, which allows for charging and audio to coexist on the same port. Something in this vein: https:/&

IOS not only has decent audio APIs (from what I hear), it even has some kind of a third-party software bus wherein apps can send audio to each other, in the manner of VST/AU: https://audiob.us . Around for many years, and ap

Again, I have to deduce from what's unsaid that in your world ‘normal users’ are so boring that they don't even play video games, much less try to do anything related to making music. Kind of a ‘I'm a Mac, I'm a PC’ deal

So Apple's snooping initiative produced exactly the result that was predicted? The article doesn't quite expand on this, but it sounds like the lawmakers and the agency are jolly happy to push their own variant of client-side scan

If you replace ‘EU’ with ‘US’ in that comment, its internal logic and validity does not change whatsoever. So: “You can be either in support of total surveillance, or in support of abolishing the US. There is no middle ground.” I would also

To my noob eye, it seems that the person did absolutely no pitching to shave off the speed. That's the hard part, in my very limited experience with simulators. Dunno if this plane does usually need pitching, but I guess they were very

For me, the ‘proper’ way to use YouTube is to have two dozen playlists to ‘watch later’. They together have hundreds of videos now, if not in thousands already. What I do is, whenever I see a vid that looks genuinely interesting to me, I pu

Reminder: when ‘colors’ and ‘faker’ packages printed stuff in the output in an endless loop, NPM and Github banned the author and took over the packages. When ‘node-ipc’ overwrote all files on disk, NPM just waited while the author himself

The Lumiere brothers attempted 3D films even before they properly started with 2D ones (iirc). It's hypothesized that, with old accounts of Lumieres' enterprise being very messy, the 2D premiere of ‘The Arrival’ was conflated with

As for a full-on remake: that's ‘Zero Theorem’. I can only guess that Gilliam lost hope in the subtler approach, and wanted to have at least something new that would get out of ‘Brazil’'s shadow. Which didn't work at all. Per

Not sure about Gisp specifically, but in my experience authors of transpilers tend to ‘reinvent the wheel’, in the form of low-level constructs—which usually reflect those of the target language. Especially since transpilers explicitly rely

‘Time Bandits’ was before, so it's the other way around. Besides, you might be unfamiliar with the fact that Gilliam referred to ‘Bandits’, ‘Brazil’ and ‘Munchausen’ as a trilogy about the same thing. Which trilogy evidently ended up h

For some reason people never learn the lessons when it comes to sacred cows of US corporatism. People think that they personally will receive Infinite Corporate Benevolence, and not Infinite Corporate Evil. And then they get shafted, of cou

Exactly, the first thing that comes to mind. Alas, watching Gilliam's other films gets more and more difficult, even though he tries to make the same movie again and again, for almost forty years now. But ‘Brazil’ was a home run on the

The proper reaction to Ansible's use of `cowsay` is to have it enabled when copying output to file an issue or a comment on Ansible's tracker. Even better would be to use an animated ‘terminal’ gif with special effects, since the
