I was just browsing their site oddly enough, been playing with an idea for a few days now and trying to figure out if their boards will meet my needs. I really wish you could get it without headers in…

Lacing cables is one of the few things I miss about electronics, but I don't need more stuff so I have nothing to build and I have long since grown sick of building stuff for other people.

Apparently not. Self control would probably work better.

Thanks for letting me know, I was getting worried by all the people here who were starting to sound like you and was beginning to think HN was going to shit. I feel better about the world knowing that…

Despite what the headline says bird flu does not kill many chickens, standard practice is to slaughter the flock to stop the spread since anything else tends to cause the bird flu to linger for ages a…

It is very difficult to tax illegal gambling and its illegality never stopped it, just kept them from advertising.

PureData and Max are primarily about synthesis and composition not multimedia, they are just capable of doing video as well. Both are still relevant. Different markets.

Could you clarify more? I think I agree when it comes to pd but not the other audio DSLs, pd has the unfortunate image of being a modular synth program which is not at all accurate and I have noticed …

Well, Miller created Max, which back in those days was more about composition than synthesis and relied on external hardware to create sound. Another fella took Max and developed the commercial produc…

First three videos are ripe with technical difficulties but after that things get sorted out. Quite interesting so far, videos alternate between explaining the pd code base and the development of real…

If ChatGPT decreased my enthusiasm for anything it would be the internet but I am the sort of person who has read books on the design and construction of vacuum tubes and did so long after Shockley an…

Going out to places where there would be people who share my interests and partaking in the festivities has always worked for me and I am borderline misanthrope.

Sampling is not illegal, there is just a fairly fuzzy line regarding when you have to give a little to the source and that line is rather easy to work around if you don't want to share the profit…

I think you would do well to make some friends in the bay area.

Without the angles share this fungus would not coat barrel houses. Wooden barrels allow some evaporation through the barrel, this is the angels share and those fums feed the angels share fungus/w…

>because I'm always suspect of Daily Mail reporting And I think you are right to be, we see a fence, a fire hydrant and a couple signs and the sign in the background of one of the pictures is …

I think this might be a cash grab and the problem is not nearly as big as they make it out to be. I have seen a few articles on this now and none of them include any pictures of houses and cars covere…

4. Say the UN won't let us get involved and exploit it for political gain. What the US almost always does. But I am sure we will send some troops to sit on the sidelines and make sure it is a fai…

If that were true than every war would develop into a world war.

There is no way Penguin was not aware of the backlash this would cause, it is a marketing stunt. They got to sell a bunch of the new version and now they get to sell a bunch of the old and these books…

This raised the question for me of how long could we sustain this before the loss of mass to the moon started to affect earth? 22 billion tons a year seems massive but doing that for 100 years would o…

There are a lot of people out there who drive 100 miles a day in a full sized pickup, lots of people with very high insurance prices due to accidents and the like, etc. A guy in the building I work at…

Rather nihilistic and blunt, goes nowhere. The animation was good and aesthetically pleasing. I half expected the 1998 film of the same name and there is a fair amount of overlap between them but its …

This article and most on the subject tend to undermine themselves, they make it out like it is something you need to be cautious about and then say some like "Nearly 1 in 10 American adults had a…

That was very helpful, my initial mistake was I forgot about the data and only looked at what was being done too it, but I also neglected how we access that data. My background in analog electronics h…

Thanks for explaining the obvious, my self taught programming skills are unordered and my biggest obstacle is generally my not seeing what is right in front of me.

Under what situation (if any) does the ordered map win over the unordered? I find it difficult to believe it is always an improvement, what's the niche uses?

Considering that most threads about China go uncommented and only get a few votes I think it is safe to say that the majority of HN does not care about what people on HN have to say about China and an…

Politics seems largely community/self moderated here, it is not outright avoided but purely ideological posts tend to get down voted or ignored. It seems a nice balance and I do not have to tipto…
