Yup; if it doesn't work over ZWave/Zigbee with Home Assistant I'm not buying it. I don't trust anything to last or have any long term support otherwise.

I wish my teachers had given me better answers to this question. As a teen I was definitely motivated by practicalities. No one could answer when I was going to use matrix math in life. The answer, which is glaringly obvious now is in machi

Recording audio clips on the iPhone 11 I have is similar. Why the heck is this thing laggier from when I press "record" than a 386 running Windows 3.11?

It is bad audio quality - but I find it potentially an interesting effect. I could see myself using it in the studio; not for final master of course, but as an effect for a section of a song or instrument. Compared to a guitar pedal, the pr

I can never get a handle on their pricing. Its all either absurdly low (how do they make pocket operators so cheap?!?!?), or absurdly high (why is OP-1 so absurdly high?!). But at this price, hitting buy asap. It will be a neat effect for u

I still use one. It took me getting a HP color laser that did double-sided printing, with good network support - to enjoy printing. No "your yellow has run out, you can't print black" bullshit. I actually get a large number o

I've worked on several large recurring payments platforms. It isn't rocket science, but let me tell you it is generally a pain in the ass to to manage recurring payments - in most of the systems I've worked in its easiest to

The 3090s were more than the 4090s, and there's been a great deal of inflation in that time. I won't call them cheap, but it seems like a reasonable price trajectory?

I joined a Hash House Harriers group, which helps a lot with boredom. It's running somewhat chaotically in the woods, and you're constantly needing to find the trail. Its quite social. There are some cultural aspects around drinki

Fwiw, I just wish more systems had built in dynamics controls. I both sympathize with the problem that people are having (and sometimes have it myself), but I also really enjoy focused movie listening time on a nice Atmos system with subwoo

When CEOs say they take full responsibility, I think they should take a material cut in equity and compensation. Otherwise it is just empty words for them to feel no consequences except a better balance sheet. Or better yet, step down and l

You’ll need a calibration curve for the microphone. Even of the same model, there is a lot of variance.

I used to think this too, but then I recently helped organize a new tech union. Traditional unions and tech unions are pretty different indeed. But unions stand to be one possible tool to help remediate some of the problems unique to tech.

I’ve always been an ENFP. I also find MB to be nearly useless in life. In fact all personality systems have seemed of limited use, until I was shown the Enneagram. It has helped me think not about my strengths, but my weaknesses. It has be

I know border crossings can take a while, but explaining my polycule is going to make this a long process. I hope they have time for tea, paper diagrams and Google Calendar.

PCI doesn't _stop_ us from distributing these duties, but it sure does make it harder. Having change management processes in place puts in place all sorts of additional controls. Sharing code with this system and the main system create

Yes, but… I’ve seen that it is often just shades of bad. There are so few morally pure companies out there- they are all willing to do bad things for money. Or the vast majority of them. And it is hard to evaluate that upfront. Even the mos

I’ve found beta blockers at low doses help quite a bit with low grade anxiety. I’m prescribed them for other reasons, but they do seem to be another class of drugs that can help for anxiety just a bit.

As a studio enthusiast and electronic musician, I always felt this was a reasonable price for the OP-1. I have a _lot_ of synths here, ranging from the high end Moog Voyager to various Pocket Operators by Teenage Engineering. $2000 however

Not all publishers do rates this low. Lost Art Press specializes in fairly niche woodworking content. All authors get the same 50/50 profit split deal. Their books are printed with great care and quality, and the content is some of the
