evenw··on Show HN: Every meeting from first 8 years of scaling up [video]
I never got around to really dialing this in - currently note and velocity are both mapped to intensity and notes are mapped through to a sampler. I taught myself Ableton for this as well as Blender so didn't get around to playing much with this.

Thank you! Perfect.

The bsky firehose is really fun and feels like a misty-eyed throwback to 2005.

I used it last weekend to throw together this very silly little thing: https://bigmood.blue/

The SAGE consoles not only had an ashtray, but also an integrated lighter.

The default "happy path" for new Samsung televisions is to be set up through an app. A mandatory step is to allow background location tracking permissions.
evenw··on Show HN: Sanity – A Headless CMS Construction Kit in JavaScript
Thank you! We so enjoyed those projects. Do get in touch if you have any questions on your excursion! There's a public Gitter (https://gitter.im/sanity-io/sanity) and I'm @even (https://twitter.com/even).
evenw··on Show HN: Sanity – A Headless CMS Construction Kit in JavaScript
Sanity.io designer / co-founder here. We've been discussing how to explain what Sanity is and stuck with “CMS” to give people an everyday use case, casting a new product category in something old. There's the term «Headless CMS», but that doesn't capture the data modelling and query capability well either.

And for sure, this way of thinking about content isn't new. People have been building bespoke relational databases with custom forms on top since forever. But it has been time consuming and also pretty hard to get totally right. It's free form in data structure, but expensive to change.

Many who haven't needed to structure content in the past need to do so now. Both given content reuse across touchpoints, but also to be able to easily shift your content over to other services as structured data.

So we built Sanity to make this fast and easy while not compromising on the experience for the editor: real-time collaborative work on structured, interlinked data.

BTW – In order to make extending the editing UI clean we've built a system for build-time dependency injection. This gives a non-crufty way to override and compose components: https://www.sanity.io/docs/extending/parts

evenw··on Red Pill, Blue Pill: Is the Universe Just a Giant Computer Simulation?
I agree. Strange phenomena at very small and very large scales seem like perfectly sensible optimization choices. Like the copenhagen interpretation of wave-particle duality (no need to simulate the particles until they are actually observed by an actant, just represent them as waves) or dark matter (no need to accurately simulate gravitational force at vast distances).
