The main thing I miss is the tactile feedback of seeking through tracks and DJ sets with a walkman. If I held the buttons down only halfway pressed, the output would remain patched in to the headphones and I could hear the pitched up scrubb

As a side note, I've spent quite some time calling the offices and sending individually personalised e-mails to most of the PPE abstain voters. I guess normally they would've voted in favour. Maybe it's possible to have some

I'm trying to use it as an S3 replacement for audio content delivery - seems slow and laggy unfortunately. Uploads also fail frequently enough. I don't know if CDNs would make a big difference. (Europe) Edit: lack of webhooks or s

As you might know, this is related to the disastrous EU copyright reform directive proposal that would mandate such filters put in place everywhere. Please don't be complacent, it's very important to do something about this. At ri

Please help out to make sure this directive proposal is voted against next week by the majority of the JURI committee. List of handles of reportedly yet undecided MEPs: @Emil_Radev @1PavelSvoboda @KaufmannSylvia @enricogasbarra @mady_delvau

Seems like the opposite, there's a smaller revolution going on in audio and music tech. Several big software names are about to start manufacturing their own dedicated hardware devices running DAWs.

Can someone give a short summary of the changes and what will be axed? From a quick look, follower counts should still be easy to retrieve from the free tier, right?

I believe you shouldn't "work" more than 20-24 hours a week period, especially if you have your own projects or other systemic pursuits.

Not only Brexit escapees but from all over the periphery - it felt like half of Portugal, Italy and Greece was in Amsterdam. Same here in Berlin.

I live right in the middle of this and have been been collecting photos of posters and other relics - which I always promptly send to my friend now working at Google (elsewhere). The neighbourhood is definitely changing. A key fact is that

I recently visited and totally noticed a lot of minders, caretakers and other seemingly unnecessary jobs, mostly carried out by retirement-age employees or retired volunteers[0]. It was weird but seemed to make sense from a societal perspec

Above comment is correct. Moreover I'm fairly convinced that we're witnessing the dead cat bounce of nation states[0]. [0] https://www.theguardian.com/news/2018/apr/05/demise-of-the-n...

Again, Bitcoin is "infinitely" divisible, the current 8 decimal cap can be easily modified if needed. There's no limit to the smallest unit as with standard currencies.

This is useful, but the naming is quite unappealing :) As a sidenote, I see a lot of "normie" devs (as in formerly working for "big data", "cloud" etc. projects) joining blockchain startups suddenly.

I haven't logged in for about five-six months now, and FB started bothering my friends to hit me up on messenger to lure me back in.

Great start! Would need something to easily mass edit ID3 tags and also rename files based on tags - any good solutions? Surprisingly, I couldn't find a suitable CLI tool so far either.

Make them understand that the medium and context of music will be different going forward. They don't need to make a living creating and selling recordings; there are many unexplored avenues and they should pursue those instead. As an

Eager to try this. Want to give a shotout to Phenomic[0] (also mentioned in the readme) if you need a more complex static generator. MoOx is a great maintainer. [0] https://phenomic.io

People also don't appreciate that Bitcoin is infinitely divisible, so the total numbers are meaningless. At the same time, inflation is super low and decreases over time, giving it more and more edge over nation-state currencies.

Might be of interest: https://www.centreforeffectivealtruism.org/ It's a project to evaluate and rank NGOs based on how effective they really are. They have managed funds based on topics of interest as well.

The loudness war was great. I totally appreciate the extremes it reached and the new music production techniques that were developed in response. Some utterly squashed, distorted albums like The Prodigy's Always Outnumbered, Never Outg

Would be great if it could somehow drag & drop, or have a hack to load the currently selected track in another app such as Traktor. I know this is a weird feature to ask, but I'm looking for something keyboard based to efficiently

Did something similar once, then a friend of mine found out the password within 5 minutes using a simple google rainbow table search. So make sure to at least salt it :)

Love the post(s), the reasons mentioned are precisely why I took the time to make my own site. There are so many unexplored opportunities with custom components that will never work on platforms, but too few are doing it. Alan Kay's ta
