Don’t buy eBay junk and blame it on the standard - which is used by tons of high end commercial equipment and is more appropriately a commercial feature - PoE isn’t cheap - if it is that probably explains your poor results.

“ which they market such that people can pretend to be coffee snobs” I don’t think very many of their urban or suburban customers in the US have this hang up - they sell out of Target and hospitals amongst other things. There are enough 3rd

That's from a decade ago. Verb tense matters. Apple denied knowledge of PRISM before the leak, I don't see where they are denying it since. In any event, you may not believe it, and it's not the craziest thing to be suspici

People should read actual documentation and expert or academic writing rather than a bunch of terminally online nerds on Reddit. I’ve seen nothing credible that the E2E for iMessage and FaceTime isn’t as advertised. If you backup to the clo

You know how much embedded dev pays? It’s shit. People that are good are usually good enough to go write some Java crud apps and make 3x as much. Unlike the games industry there isn’t nearly as many people drawn to writing the shitware on a

The MOD player seems to have some problems with the sequencing and tempo in a number of files on multiple browsers/devices.

by epcoa 3y ago
The browser can play any sound so why not MIDI files. To be clear, the default implementation here is that this uses a soft synth (FluidSynth) compiled to wasm to render MIDI to waveform data - this is not how browsers classically played MI

Looks like they changed the story headline to Actually Portable Executables (which is the original “correct” name). Other than an audio format relatively few use I suppose APE isn’t the most clashy file format name.

For those not aware Patterson and Hennessy is elementary (“relating to the basic elements of a subject.”) because it is often used in an introductory course of computer architecture. This isn’t a slight.

With all due respect this is quite literally the level of stuff covered in an undergrad EE architecture course and is covered in an elementary text like Patterson and Hennessy.

Sorry don’t see how they messed up anything. They state the requirements and they give the set of characters meeting one of those requirements. The wording could be improved but that doesn’t rise to the level of “messed up” any more than 99

Yeah, I know right? And the higher end you go has nothing to do with any competence - your clientele becomes more and more like the fucktards that bought into SBF.

Dumb clickbait headline. Sure it’s a dumb form but it’s hardly the first or terribly uncommon to have a limited set of expected special characters. And maybe jaded but my first assumption is that was a set, not an example. Finance sites, ut

Sure - that’s very 70s to 80s Euro hi-fi though. I guess most olds here associate it with the PC/AT clone keyboard connector in the early 90s.

The redirect always works though - that is not a program argument, that is handled by the shell. Apparently not everyone is aware of that.
