To be clear, I'm not agreeing with you and it's bizarre that you think I am. The term DAW is just fine, it's not overloaded and I found grandparent comment's usage of it to be perfectly clear. Rereading your post I see…
No, the point doesn't hold up. That's like saying 'workbench' or 'car' is too general to mean anything. It's a general category and you put adjectives in front of it as needed. And if you're going to eschew the term and…
The idea of environmentally friendly, non-food wasting burgers sounds good but I'm not sure if it's possible. Meat is so phenomenally resource intensive[0][1] that reducing waste at the restaurant to zero still leaves…
It's strange to have Ardour and Reaper up there with ProTools and Logic described as a MIDI sequencer. That's how it started but at some point it crossed over into a full-featured professional DAW and I'm not sure even…
We did read the same article, but I don't think it was very consistent throughout. Their opening statement is this: > EFF is fighting for vehicle owners’ rights to inspect the code that runs their vehicles and to repair…
Falling barriers. Like you say, tuning is currently very expensive. The financial and technical costs act as an idiot filter (forgive my negativity.) Those barriers are falling so we're left with artificial costs i.e.…
You haven't heard of it because it's too stupid and dangerous to allow to happen. But it's a natural consequence of car ownership including read-write access to its computers.
Can we just be honest about this? The EFF hates the DMCA and I think it's clouding their judgement. They need to separate their very good fight against the abuses of copyright law from this ridiculous fight to let…
The new artificial boundaries are only recreating the natural boundaries from before. If you wanted to boost your fuel/air ratio in 1965 you had to open your hood and take apart your carburetor, that keeps most people…
What I object to is this statement: > And you don't have to leave your frame of reference to see a difference between acceleration and gravity, they are distinguishable in any frame of reference. You're clearly…
I generally agree with the EFF, I'd even say I'm a fan, but I disagree on this one. TL;DR == "tough" Regulations can be bad, they can stifle innovation, enforce inequality, maintain awful power structures, etc. But,…
The comment you jumped in to "correct" was based on the equivalence of inertial reference frames which you can take up with Newton, and the equivalence of force-accelerated and gravity-accelerated reference frames which…
Right. So sorry. "Constant" gravitational field. Happy? But I agree, if you put the box within the event horizon of a black hole (aka near a point mass) the person inside the box might be able to tell, if they and the…
> And you don't have to leave your frame of reference to see a difference between acceleration and gravity, they are distinguishable in any frame of reference. One of Einstein's great contributions is the knowledge that…
I assure you if my arguments look strong it's an illusion! Biologists know their field and they either dismiss things that anger people or they go on a million wild-goose chases. It's no-win. They know this area far…
Looking into it more, Taleb's only clear connection to the paper or biology in general is an old grudge against Dawkins. He's a fascinating economist but it looks like he's out of his element here. It looks like a…
Those scientists all had ideas that made demonstrably superior predictions than other ideas at the time. Evidence outweighs credentials, arguments can take a walk. So what evidence is Taleb bringing to the table? I ask…
If 100 biologists sign a petition saying your model is wrong that should be a sign that it's time to double-check some things. And here we have an economist lecturing scientists about how to properly view and use math?…
If the article wasn't in Vice, if the main subject of the article didn't credit magic mushrooms for his world view, if the author of the article didn't reference insane theories of evolution happening because primates…
Good to know. Domain redirects are useful for portfolio apps if you'd like to have some coherency in your urls, and maybe you're not trying to showcase that your app is on Heroku's free tier at that moment. That's…
Did the free-tier just drop from 750 to ~350 dyno-hours/month? Does no custom domains mean no DNS redirects? https://devcenter.heroku.com/categories/billing edit: I read TFL, no more free tier with a cron job hitting it…
That says unsigned artists must register with one of those four services. From their web page, the first one listed (https://www.recordunion.com/) is a digital distribution company that charges under $15/year to…
How many pot-heads have you known who would chew your ear off about hemp? It's innocence by association.
Would this article make the front-page if the word mushroom was replaced with mycelium or fungus which removed the hope of legitimizing psychedelics? I doubt it, even in the article they extol the virtues of "magical"…
Isn't this the middlebrow dismissal we're supposed to avoid here? I'm not sure where the ubiquitous, portable, high-quality music players are that make Pono redundant. Are you referring to smartphones? If you look at…
