Agree on jamulus. I re-joined my highschool band during the pandemic, despite us all living in different cities. Jamulus jams were an important part of us getting back together, along with zoom calls and passing recordings back and forth.

Yes!! Just to be explicit here - the dev behind the original Hammerhead makes a whole suite of iOS music apps now. Still going strong, crazy value for the money. Bram Bos is great.

Yesterday I signed my daughter up for her own minecraft account. It was maybe the worst computing experience I've ever had thanks to the Microsoft accounts. Made her a microsoft account with accurate 'kid' age, could not bu

Yes!! With music I used to debate whether I should do A or B, and spend a long time debating whether I wanted an album of genre A or genre B.. and then not write anything. Now I write both, one (or both!) will sound how I wanted, and then

In defence of the project, it doesn't look like the Github authors posted it to HN.

Just to play the devil's advocate for a moment here, I've seen many developers join and instead of learning what is around and why it's there, just see everything that existed before they joined as a Bad Decision that Needs T

Vintage Fisher Price toys are an absolute marvel of engineering. We have a few of the "little people" sets - my favorite is still the garage with an elevator that still works, including raising and lowering "stop" gates

I'm trying to say the market would judge Ford, primarily, by its quarterly environmental impact instead of its quarterly finances. Stock goes up when they've sequestered carbon, stock goes down when they're burning carbon. A

(This is all a rough idea in my head, with no sources to back up claims, but putting it out there nonetheless) Over the course of history, how we evaluate companies and value them has changed. The concept of valuing companies based on quar

When I get those I like to look up the bitcoin address on block explorer. Last time I checked one, two people had paid it out. No clue how many messages the spammer had sent, but there was at least a bit of payoff

Please stop spamming the point that EVs also have brakes. The point was that all cars have the potential to spontaneously catch fire. Nobody has tried to make the point that ICEs are vulnerable where EVs are not, and your attempt to refra
