To me, Ableton is as much a performance tool as it is a production tool. I used to limit myself to production, then I bought a Push controller and it completely changed my workflow.

Every serious musician I know has a MIDI controller on their desk, each mapped to specific controls on their DAW. A physical knob that maps to its GUI equivalent is really helpful. This skeuomorphism isn't without cause.

Nope. I like HN as simple as possible

If, as Trump claims, Biden's victory is fraudulent, it would mean over 100k voted were falsely cast. If that happens to be true, it would put every single election on US soil into question. Pretty much undermines democracy altogether.

The internet is now positively a nasty place. Everyone is optimizing for "engagement" which essentially equates to "controversial content". You can't find any genuine advice because Google has been gamed to the po

Finally some new ideas in this space. Love it! Lists are honestly a pretty awful way to organize to-dos. Our brains don't work linearly at all.

Should the US not starting a new war and finally pulling out of a region it wasn't supposed to be in in the first place really be something to applaud?

I don't know if I can agree. The early startup scene is far less energetic and exciting than it used to be 7-8 years ago. Most of the funding is cornered by mature startups that had their start a decade ago, and are still seeking their

There's massive income disparity in India. Nominal per capita income for the richest state is nearly 9x of the poorest state.

One good use case I've found is file authentication. If a file is signed and it can be matched against a distributed ledger, it can help ensure the authenticity of the file. I can imagine uses for this everywhere from piracy prevention

It has been nearly impossible to find objective analysis of China. Most sources are either soft propaganda or irrational jingoism. What are some good sources for a rational discussion about China's growing dominance?

We've now moved on from people naively buying into interesting projects and getting scammed. Now, people willingly buy into pump & dump schemes, hoping to not be the ones left holding the bags. Just go to r/cryptomoonshots or

I remember when my dad bought us a copy of Encarta, I think around 2001. It had a click-and-drag Streetview style walkthrough of historical sites, including, iirc, the Great Pyramids. I thought that was the most incredible thing ever. I rem

I can't see EV adoption happening in Delhi anytime soon. There is absolutely no parking outside/inside houses here in most homes. There is no way to charge the car. My car is parked every night wherever I can find an empty spot.

I don't see the utility of a tool like this that doesn't have editorial input. A list of alternative tools doesn't really tell me what tool would be better for my needs. Ableton is an alternative to Logic Pro. But only a pro

I really think social media companies are deliberately promoting stupid and blatantly wrong beliefs. It's good for engagement. If you've ever watched someone be completely wrong about something you know a lot about, you know how s

I haven't managed to read a book in two years now. I spend all my free time on this rectangular glass hellhole. And I seem to have given up on rational analysis and stupidly jump into the trenches to argue with people I know are incr

As someone who has worked from home for a decade, I predict a mental health apocalypse in the near future. Working from home permanently requires support infrastructure not everyone has access to. It also requires a different approach to wo

I understand where you're coming from. I'm uneasy about the privacy implications of smartphones. But the utility is too great to ignore. My smartphone is integral to how I communicate, travel and even run my business. Smart speake

The market for smart speakers boggles my mind. Are people really willing to sacrifice their privacy for a minor upgrade in usability? Is it really that hard to just tap play on your smartphone instead of yelling out "Alexa play Despa

If you're a tech entrepreneur, this should worry you regardless. Any industry that the Indian government meddles in eventually gets regulated to death. You have to pay bribes for X or Y license or permission. The tech industry thrived
