This existed, it was called XUL, and it was glorious If there is one tech that we need to bring back from the dead, it is XUL (XUL is the GUI toolkit powering Firefox, or at least was until they ripped almost all of it out and replaced it w

I wonder if it can be integrated with iPlug2, since that is derived from Cockos' WDL framework (which iPlug2 is based upon) Given that the code for both lives in the same github account, I am hoping for 'Yes'

Does nobody tell them that they are being ridiculous?

Where you live, sure. But I can drive just a couple hours north of San Francisco and lose all cellular connectivity, entirely. In fact I am doing just that tonight and my friend and I have made contingency plans for meeting up at a festival

I've always labelled those notes in parenthesis in the Album field, like your final example. I do wish it had a separate field. The biggest pain point I have with ID3 tags is how compilations are handled, particularly when that compo i

Funny, I was just browsing the spec and came across the POPM field. Out of all honesty that idea seems INSANE. Storing e-mail addresses? A list of them? Were they crazy?

Just... why? Laptops and IDEs are fine. How does anyone possibly want to do anything without multiple screens anyway?

My point is that the scale of pretty much everything we do is minuscule compared to carbon emissions. And, short of being more specific on what 'human activities' are in question, the negative tradeoffs are going to have to be far

You think that was weird, witness how America came together immediately after 9/11

I don't think we will ever see power generation via renewables (one industry) approach the scale of anything near carbon emissions (all industry) You could do some very basic napkin math multiplying the air displacement per turbine (or

Yeah but I don't care about 99.9% of that, and a lot of that other 0.1% isn't even on Spotify. You could say the same thing about an all-you-can-eat buffet. You won't end up eating the whole restaurant, and if you do they&#x2

Empathy/sympathy are important factors here. As a fellow weirdo I do not see my weirdness as an excuse for being unable to 'walk a mile in their shoes'. There are lots of people around us constantly transmitting their emotion

That sounds disastrous. "Whatever the ticket says" is often ambiguous, poorly-written, or just plain wrong (in terms that the request is documented incorrectly and the requestor is not actually asking for what they want). Sometime

It was, for a time. Much better times than now, that's for sure.

My god everything about this eventuality just sounds absolutely awful. Just more and more recycling of the same meme-tastic trash (which isn't that far off from the current state of pop music), writ even more large and just plain worse

It is weird to me to see people talking like this. Throughout my 10+ year career as an SE, all the way from junior level to senior-plus, customer- and product-mindset thinking has been seemingly mandatory. Like how would I even write the so

Ah yes so let's ruin a good thing so the incompetent have a fair chance? Pah. What is the point of learning and trying to be intelligent if everything around you gets training wheels put on it? Oh wait, it isn't for our benefit. Y

The relationships are generally cultivated over time. I have been active in the local dance music underground for all of my adult life, but in this case familiarity was established after showing up at a couple of desert events and hanging o

If you're into music, festivals are fantastic for this. I was just at such a festival, in an MDMA-fueled reminiscence of just how lucky my friends and I are to have found each other. Through years of simply showing up, gifting my art,

So what would you have instead? A fully participatory democracy where every citizen votes on everything? Or authoritarianism?

One of my parents is a hoarder and has filled up a 2500+sqft house with junk. It is so bad that there are aisles carved through the house so that they can get through it. My siblings and I have been begging and pleading with them to sort th

As someone who has a physical condition that makes speaking sometimes very unpleasant, the last thing I want in my car is a voice-only interface. Also, cue the skit about the thick scottish-accented guy trying to activate a voice-activate

Metro Exodus is semi open-world, more like "open levels" that you can traverse freely and then never come back to again. I'm not sure I'd call Far Cry series RPGs. Don't mean that in a bad way (I fuckin love Far Cry

Would highly recommend Kenshi, it is very different from Morrowind, very weird, and very janky, but completely unique in its setting and gameplay. I am eagerly awaiting the sequel, which is in development.
