Yes, and if you're not happy with the way the president and the government treat your money you should ensure they are (A) not voted in again and (B) pressure new candidates to use the full extent of the law to punish them. And quite f

No. OP made the content Google copied with AI to their landing page, which reduced the traffic. But I forgot that they convinced you to accept AI as a magic "make copyright disappear"-technology.

The solution to this type of problem is typically escalation. I have worked in IT support and the problem is that the vast majority are problems of users who won't read even the most basic instruction, error message or hint. That means

If you want entropy ot is trivial to construct a white noise source that gives you flat white noise over a range of a few MHz using the reverse avalanche breakdown of a zener diode. The harder part is then reading that out in a way that doe

Yes, but isn't since exactly about those models? If you want to calculate how much that steel truss is going to bend when loaded, you need basic mechanics. Sure you could go deeper and think about what actually happens to the metallic

If you use a browser by a company that earns most of its revenue by selling ads and wonder why the ad-blocker is not working I may have a bridge to sell to you.

Gladly this isn't that much of an issue anymore since most audio mixing nowadays is done using floating point numbers (either 32 or 64 bits). Last week I made a test in Bitwig where I boosted a 0dBFS sine wave by 64dB into "clippi

I mean the good answer is: I am not sure this code could be interpreted the same by different programmers and compilers alike. So I would never write it.

By this point I believe people like these should be excluded from all social contracts and reminded at every step that what they did is not ok. Maybe finally a positive use for facial recognition technology?

There are real reasons to do that, even if you like tube amps: - Tube amps need regular tube swaps. For a small guitar Combo a set of tubes (3× preamp + 2× power amp) can cost between 100 to 150 Euros. If you're a poor musician that is

What you say is true if we operate gear within specs. In guitar amplifiers when tubes are overdriven tubes, they still matter. Only in the past decade (circa) digital guitar amp simulations started to become sufficiently advanced to deliver

I bought new vacuum tubes just last week. For guitar amplifiers vacuum tubes are still pretty common. If you want a simple, horribly inefficient circuit that sounds good with an electric guitar vacuum tubes are great, mostly because they ov

Sandbox? Cool now the plugin that reads your private notes runs inside a sandbox and sends the notes back home from there.

Our IT department has a machine called jukebox hooked up to a sound system. Since it runs a music player daemon everybody in the IT department can control the jukebox from their own frontend, phone or whatever. Technically you could achieve

Saying being a programmer is about writing code is a bit like saying being an artist is about drawing lines on a canvas. Yeah technically drawing lines on canvases may be an very important part of being a painter, but it is hardly the core

What makes you believe it is a shtick? When there is drama as far as I can tell he always had pretty solid reasons to be dramatic. It isn't drama when you have real reasons. Drama implies making shit up. Point to the shit he made up.

Being slow at times is a good thing and a freedom everybody should give themselves at times. That being said, some people don't like being too slow. I have a collegue who is clearly too slow for health reasons (overweight/unfit).

Using a male TRS 3.5mm audio connector is something you should do with care. When you hotplug that connector the plug's tip (T) may first make contact with the sleeve (S) of the receptible, then briefly hit the ring (R) until it finall

Which is why I think AI assisted writing is better then just letting it write the full text (if you care about the quality of the result). The act of writing isn't just the production of text, it is about wrangling a topic, rotating it

Yes of course. But as I said the exclusion of misogynistic, capitalist authoritarians is seen as a feature not as a bug by most groups that self-label like that. If it is your private group you can decide freely which audience you want to t

IMO it depends very much on how those positions are being forced on those attending. Since this is about permacomputing I suspect not all that much. In my experience these self-given-labels just express the views of some founding members an
