   I’ve had basically the identical experience. I swear it even seems to turn off notifications to some of the more obscure channels and I have to turn them back on again. The niche stuff (Engineering, Chemistry, Modular-synth stuff, demosce

   For anyone else wondering; apparently prehistoric Nordic people practiced killing of the elderly. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ättestupa

   I wouldn’t put most devs in the category but the existence of “bullshit jobs” that provide little to no value isn’t controversial is it? Edit: other reply beat me to it

   Thank you for laying bare the specifics of this issue. It does seem indefensible.

   Oh my god I had the SFII promotional VHS tape! I’d forgotten about entirely. Thanks for the nostalgia.

   I think of Reddit like New York City, it’s huge and there are many thousands of neighborhoods with plenty of heterogeneity. Almost anything you can think of can be found there if you know where to look.

   I’ve been out of the PHP game for a decade or so but Windows, Apache, and PHP always worked no problem. Maybe Windows, IIS, and PHP is a more fickle stack?

   Interesting idea. I wonder if instead of requiring oxygen to hand off electrons to during respiration we could substitute a simpler system by dumping the excess charge via a wire? Anyone with domain expertise care to comment on whether t

    Would work on a vaccine really slow down? There are many thousands of patients and how many does a vaccine study require in practice?

    The analogy between retrocomputing and classic car enthusiasts really captures the spirit of what’s going on well.

    Very cool, thanks for your detailed response. Hopefully one day I’ll be in a position to use your services.

    I avoid all solicitation in general. If I want something I research it and buy it. I never make a purchcase based on an incoming offer of any sort even if I want the item or service and it’s a good deal. It avoids 90% of scams before I e

    Looks interesting. How does it work under the covers? Do you have an army of testers of various demographics?

    I’m talking in the studio when the actual work is getting done. A soldered down ssd and ram is not a good investment for a studio musician who wants to be able to expand. Definitely for live shows fashion plays a role so you’re gonna see

    Weird. What genres are your musician friends into? Must just the circles I travel with but in the parts of the techno/house/drum and bass scenes that I’m privy to in the US, UK, and Germany I see less than 5% macs probably and a

    Thanks for your work on Ardour by the way. I’ve been attempting to move to a fully Linux-based solution for audio production on and off since the mid-2000s and Ardour is one of the best tools on the platform in my opinion.

    Ok I don’t have a citation other than amongst the hundreds of djs and producers I’ve had contact with in the rave/club scenes over the past couple decades I’ve seen that Macs, Atari, and Amiga were dominant in the early 90s and by the

    At least in the electronic music world, production has long ago moved from Mac to Windows.

    3blue1brown is most likely the greatest math teacher alive. I’ve looked far and wide and found nobody who competes. Any HN’ers have suggestions for other math educators working on his level?

    You’re right and I absolutely will be voting. I actually regret my earlier comment it didn’t contribute to the discussion.

    Hmm, at least with an audio waveform one can have a DC offset wherein the average is not zero.

    You may be onto something there. I wonder, has anyone done any real digging on why the heck so many people think being a morning person is morally good? It makes no sense to me.

    Would encourage anybody on Ubuntu to give Linux Mint a try. It’s displaced Lubuntu as my go to distribution due to it being very polished overall while still being about as lightweight and fast as Lubuntu or Xubuntu.

    So the black site is somehow justified by the fact that there is crime in the area? This makes no sense. The black site is itself illegal and an example of lawlessness. How is an Abu Gharib clone helping solve the gamg problem? Did Abu
