Spastche··on An unusual 7400-series chip implemented with a gate array
do it. you can use them all for basic synth building too. sequencers and square waves are stupidly easy to build
Spastche··on Brain waves appear to wash out waste during sleep in mice
that explains why my brain is full of trash and I love sleep but rarely get it
Spastche··on Experienced engineers are struggling to get hired
it seems like it's super common and my own company seems to do this. why?
Spastche··on Tech layoffs highest since dot-com crash
i've heard of common people registering for day care before the baby is even born
Spastche··on Chasing Passive Income, Americans Turn to Vending Machines
as someone who has looked into this extensively and even owns a few machines, the biggest cost of machines besides "rent" is credit card devices and fees. there's coin op mechanisms, but nobody carries money so you get much less sales. unless the feds redo the coinage system... good luck
Spastche··on Miles Davis and the recording of Kind of Blue
I've always been into Coil and TG and proper industrial and never really got into Skinny Puppy until lately but I really like it. Stairs and Flowers might as well be labelled "dub hiphop". I think I was just expecting some Front 242 / KMFDM / NIN kind of band and that's there, but there's also something really unique there, too.

honestly, Fusion is about the only thing worth listening to, and even then, it's mostly wank too

suggestions: Tony Williams Lifetime, Miles Davis 1969 - 1975, Mahavishnu Orchestra, Jaco, Weather Report

Davis's music is pretty much about as pure rhythm as you can get outside of electronic music. it's so far beyond jazz that you can hear so many modern genres in something like On The Corner, it's crazy. and it was hated originally, too. jazz rejected evolution, so now it's stuck as some dead academic genre

>Snarky Puppy

I always read that name as Skinny Puppy and it happened this time too

Spastche··on Ask HN: How do you find employment opportunities in 2024?
what you said is about as helpful as saying the sky is blue. your comment is a non-sequitur.
Spastche··on Ask HN: How do you find employment opportunities in 2024?
read the topic of the post, then read your comment. do you really think you're being helpful in any way?

so wise and humble
Spastche··on Study finds link between marijuana use and cardiovascular disease
>and diabetes - 6.1% for daily cannabis users, vs 11.2% for non cannabis users (!).

I feel like that should be looked into, especially since stoners are eating all sorts of unhealthy food in the first place, you think they'd have the higher rates.

Spastche··on U.S. workers are employed but unhappy and many need multiple jobs
that kind of thing has been available for a while now and it hasn't really been an issue. it's only in the recent environment that it's been _this_ bad.
Spastche··on What if modern appliances were built like the KitchenAid stand mixer?
this was my conclusion after doing a bunch of research. hopefully I'll be able to repair it easily if it does break
Spastche··on The Morgan Motor Company designed a modern coupe, the Aeromax
>- The Mazda MX-5 NB and NC

lots of people complain about the NC but I've rarely seen complaints about the NB. it's a baby viper!

Spastche··on The dating app paradox
last time I was on it, the questions had been de-emphasized and it seemed more like a tinder clone. hopefully a better version of it comes along someday, it's a valid idea (matches based on quizzes)
Spastche··on The dating app paradox
OkCupid used to have a bunch of blog posts with numbers about how much a difference a good profile and good pictures make, but I think they took them down when Match bought them out. I haven't been on any dating sites in a few years but the amount of people with garbage profiles and bad pictures (lighting / posture being the biggest and easiest issues to fix) is crazy high.
Spastche··on A Moment for Mullets
I was watching an interview with John Hughes a couple days ago and I was very impressed by his giant mullet.
Spastche··on 4096x4096 image that contains all the existing 8bits colors (and each only once)
this seems like the visual equivalent of 12 tone serialism
Spastche··on The surprising genius of sewing machines [video]
it's always fun checking the oil in my miata, it's the same dumb dipstick that reads incorrectly that's in my fusion
Spastche··on GM buys out nearly half of its Buick dealers, who opt to not sell EVs
their data seems sketchy to me, I'm pretty sure 67 miles a day definitely isn't the average. and yea "fastest selling" seems like a bs metric to boost Tesla
Spastche··on Do I need to get out the soldering iron again? (2018)
that tends to be my issue with a lot of cheap chinese stuff. if you can replace the firmware it's great, if you can't it's a worthless brick. I hear it's an issue with vending machines you can buy off ali express and such, but I do wonder how hard they'd be to wire up an esp32 or something
Spastche··on RAM, Tesla and Subaru Have Worst Drivers, While BMWs Have Highest DUI Rates
They got rid of the "Dodge" branding because they are too big to dodge now
Spastche··on 18-year-old built a computer monitor that doesn't strain your eyes
I just put some leds powered by usb behind it, then plugged them into the usb ports on my monitor. instantly turns on when I turn on the monitor.

i've been using ambient backlighting on my main monitors and it's helped immensely IMO.
Spastche··on Nvidia, one of tech's hottest companies, is fine with remote work
or using their disgusting equipment. I would absolutely refuse to use some coworkers keyboards or mice...
Spastche··on 'Terminating Internet Access over Piracy Claims Is Drastic and Overbroad'
I feel like new TLDs could fix a lot of issues but they've basically been made worthless by spammers and people charging too damn much
Spastche··on US Justice Department Urged to Investigate Gunshot Detector Purchases
anyone offended by that isn't worth listening to
Spastche··on Rubens and Women review – ‘Naked breasts moved him religiously’
me too
Spastche··on Working remotely can more than halve an office employee’s carbon footprint
maybe they live in their car? what a bizarre comment from them
