I agree somewhat. An example might be a .md file describing a UI for commonly used tool that is invoked whenever you reference it. This could be a stripped down version of a complex UI for some software that has a lot of different uses (lik

Bad actors may have created the bad system in the first place, right? You can maybe say it's a flaw in human nature to create bad systems in the first place, but maybe the real flaw is our inability to fix them?

I'm not sure I've read anything more wrong on Hacker News than this post.

Poverty is a spectrum. Naturally, abject poverty is worse than regular poverty. I see too many people say "you're not poor, you have a phone" or "you're not homeless, you aren't sleeping on the sidewalk" (

It's a terrible policy. I know someone who is 74 and never owned a computer. They own a smartphone but only know how to use the phone app and really don't understand texting. I was shocked when I learned this and I imagine there a

Same here, everyone I've introduced to Live has been completely stumped by session view and preferred linear arrangement. I don't understand why it's the default view other than hanging on to the idea that this software is fi

I use RSS for Reddit and don't plan to ever log in again. This latest upheaval reminded me I was spending too much time there and after taking a break I've realized most of the content is garbage. Now Reddit is just another feed t

Good tip. I just recently started tagging my bookmarks because I have too many to easily sort.

Yeah, this is a garbage site on typography. It's mostly just one person's personal taste.

Saw this on reddit days ago, still waiting for someone to show any kind of scientific evidence for it's usefulness.

As someone who has written a lot of music using Pocket Operators I disagree. They have been part of my songwriting tool chain for years and have pretty much worked their way into every recording I've made since I bought them. They are

Upvote for Apache Server Side Includes. Two years ago I was tasked with redesigning an important informational website that never got the proper attention because all devs were occupied with maintaining the different web application stacks.

My first impression was also that this was an ad for Hey. Maybe that's not what the author intended, but it reads that way to me and it's a bad first impression.

The "Keep Austin Weird" slogan has been around a very, very long time, long before Portland became hip.

I used to like Opera for the built-in mail client but had always used Firefox out of principal. I've grown weary of FF's shenanigans and once I discovered Vivaldi had a mail/rss/calendar/notes built-in I jumped on i

Great movie. I didn't know Falk was in it and this created a very surreal experience when he arrived on screen.

Those are generally for editing vocals. A de-esser is a narrow band compressor to used to soften the "s" in speech. De-clickers remove transient sounds, like the sound of your lips opening/closing between words.

It's not a common operation, but this is a massively important feature to have. Occasionally I clean up audio that's in such horrible condition I have to edit individual samples because there are no plugins that can do it automati

That's basically Substack, right? There is a lot of buzz around it right now. I haven't formed an opinion, I see a lot of potential good and bad in that model.

NICE! I found the one I made as well. Holy nostalgia. I was actually using the skin several years ago on the Linux player Audacious. I should install it again...

You are better off using Krita or Pencil2D for that kind of work.

I really want Synfig to be great. I've used it several times over the past couple years, but it's extremely difficult to make anything. Unintuitive UI, sparse documentation, and crashes often. I would add it to the list of project

I agree, it's difficult to do music on Linux. I almost punched my computer last weekend because it's so hard. However, two things I can say for sure is that the Linux native of Reaper works great and Ubuntu Studio presents a prett

Once I saw the only way to fix this terrible MegaBar was by modifying code that will break later I realized I was no longer the target demographic and switched browsers.

I agree, I got so aggravated I switched to Vivaldi. I went to school for UI/UX and in my opinion the MegaBar is bad, bad, bad.
