Interesting... I remember encountering Mahindra vehicles in South America and wondered why I they didn't seem to be in the 'States at all

Yup. This exact thing pretty much lead me to a network admin job during college. I had friends that got hired as admins in high school, by the high school, and I was super jealous. The pay sucked but it was a humble start to my career in te

So are the terms 'operator' and 'oscillator' interchangeable? I always thought of it in terms of voices (before taking into account polyphony)

Or FLStudio and spend some time with Sytrus. Or pick up a copy of FM8

by tomc1985 5y ago
Can't you explore the depths of FM synthesis just as easily if not more with a good VST plugin?
636.
by tomc1985 5y ago
Considering that the Yamaha DX7 is an FM synth I can see the thinking behind calling this a 'one-operator' synth

Progress bars measure progress , not time remaining. I don't understand all these other rules people have come up with about them, maybe we need to stop making it so complex
639.
by tomc1985 5y ago
Huh... loading bars do not have to move evenly and smoothly. You reduce all your loading activity to a checklist, scale that to 100%, and update the progress bar with the number of checklists completed as soon as you are able The bars thems

Ah, the convenience argument. The red herring of this age

I'm trying to point out the hypocrisy of a cultural impetus to be super inclusive towards everyone, except the people you disagree with

I'm willing to lose "some" creative works because of a lack of scarcity. Speaking from experience, artists will always want to create. That is the creative drive. There is no reason that work should not be accessible to all i

I love this assumption that those actors are rational

It's 'title case'. Conjunctions (the/and/or/etc...), articles (a/an), and prepositions (in/on/by/with/of/etc...) don't get capitalized https://www.grammar-monster.

We do it all the time in the USA too... "This is America! Here we speak English!" There is no "poor Anglos", we are cultural assholes too

Coincidentally I was just reading that the variation in other language's names for Germany is because the country originally federated a bunch of nation-states together, and its neighbors simply called the new country the name of whoev

> If it is popular to have say a World Tree in a pool as your spawn point and said map is a popular one you would still have instance ownership even if the map itself is free software. Having your own instance would be found preferrable

> You don't get to decide that. Such is the nature of idealism. It is a shame we allow a world of plenty to artificially lock up value so a few people can feel better than others Alternatively, why is a piece of data not allowed to

by tomc1985 5y ago
While they permit infinite copies, the ownership bit strips away potential egalitarianism. Scarcity needs to be stripped and not an option. There shouldn't be a knob that allows one to select 'infinite copies', that should be

by tomc1985 5y ago
But digital is a realm of infinite copying, and where true ownership of bits means that you can never show them off (like Shkreli and that A Tribe Called Quest album). NFT 'ownership' is an additional layer on top of the data that

Idunno the real villain is that bullshit, costly "per-row" pricing

by tomc1985 5y ago
Yes let's crystalize greed and avarice into our brave new virtual meta world thing How about a virtual world of no ownership? Why must we give the wealthy yet another venue to lord their status over us?

My first real uni programming class was Java and we used BlueJ. I tried to set up Eclipse but I was so freaking lost. And I've been a computer nerd most my life, just not a programmer at that time. I am so glad we were set up for the s

Not Napa but I recall the 101 has some really high speed limits for some of the two-lane sections through Humboldt/Mendocino/Sonoma counties

They do it with the Eurotunnel, though I can't remember if I saw anything but trucks and busses on it

Why? What is the benefit of upgrading to Windows 11? It seems like literally more of the same.
