No, it's not. There's so many sexual things out there that are off the table if you restrict "sex" to heteronormative monogamy. So many people could live richer, more sexual fulfilling lives if only they felt it was OK.

A lot of people don't (and in my opinion, shouldn't) conflate such a primal activity as "sacred". Is it really a good idea to put sex up on a pedestal? How much strife and suffering have we as a species created for ourse

There's something off about the brightness sensitivity curves, if I can dial shadow controls way way up and salvage an otherwise botched, underexposed photo, why is it that I have to do so manually? The dynamic range is clearly there.

You can boot to a stub OS on the system that can chainload whatever you want afterwards. This is how GRUB et al work.

Yeah I really don't understand why this crap needs to be so capable. You can already do all sorts of tricks with net booting, any HTTP stack needs can be deferred to run in the OS. I worked extensively with UEFI in a past job and every

Yeah, stuff like that happens all the time. Warehouse parties, desert parties, forest parties, that scene is alive and well. Hell even the kandy-kid Happy Hardcore 90s raver culture is still going

Funny, one of the opening quests to one of the Yakuza games on PS3 had your passengers rate you on your conversation skills. I was under the impression that you chat with your cabbie, like where I am used to

And from a practical perspective that is not how it works unless you are in the mainstream. Further, independent labels don't enforce this rule against DJs, and entire scenes thrive without hearing a single track from any of the big mu

Welcome to the future, where DJs are kneecapped by the cloud libraries they have access to. To be fair, though, this isn't even nearly as troubling as Beatport et al pushing cloud DJ music subscriptions. There is a whole new generation

To some. I have always produced music in the box. In fact I can't play an instrument beyond what is needed to input MIDI data into the computer. If musicians study their software like they study their instruments, they would realize th

Part of me thinks this would be a better place if everyone was prohibited from talking about themselves and their projects. Let the braggarts chest-thump on Product Hunt, that place is already a wasteland It's like everything tech has

That's probably why they aren't free VSTs, this is just for tinkering and nostalgic normies. All the artists making music for public distribution knows its faster and easier to do it all in their DAW But! FLStudio has Transistor B

Companies need to service the vocal minority. This isn't a factory at Ford, they are more than capable and resourced enough to deliver colors other than black.

I can see why outstanding contributions won't make a big dent in salary, but they absolutely have to make a huge difference in bonus. If I have an outstanding year my bonus should be at least an integer multiple of a more normal year.

I always look for how the filters sounds with Res set really high. Good analog filters have a sort of fuzzy quality to them, which I suspect (not an EE here, just guessing) is extra harmonics from how that circuit behaves under those condit

Wonder how good the emulation is compared to some of the other commercial solutions out there. Usually software implementations of this hardware don't sound right My current fav is Image-Line's Transistor Bass

Yeah the best thing about BSD is that it hasn't had a bajillion different idea people come in and implement the same thing a billion different ways. Would prefer it stayed that way. Desktop BSD works. It's a pain to set up but you

This this this. "Exceeds expectations" gets you the B+ treatment, at best. Meanwhile, slacking off and doing the bare minimum gets you a C rating. Every year that I bust my ass with proven results, there's always some excuse

Maybe this time around people will build a bit more slack in their logistics. Maximizing profit and efficiency is what got us into this mess. Younger me was appalled when I learned most everyone seems to operate in a just-in-time fashion. R

10-year Rails dev here, there's still plenty of work to be found if you want it. (Full disclosure- I am currently not employed and working on a project not involving SWE.) Come on in the water's fine.

While I'm also for some kind of standard competency, if it were an exam it would create a market for test-prep books that cover just the material and nothing else.
