plussed_reader··on Musical Notation for Modular Synthesizers
PD is the non commercial end of Miller Puckettes(and others) contributions to Max/MSP, but with soooo much more.
plussed_reader··on Big slowdown in hiring here? June U.S. jobs report not showing it
Easier to hide silver hair than feign ignorance to older questions.
plussed_reader··on HyperCard Simulator
Create new cards, make buttons that link to next card or wherever in the linear stack of cards. Transitions, effects, timing in a gloriously pixelated editor.
plussed_reader··on HyperCard Simulator
It is/was a great tool to prime minds that didn't think in stack or heap. You could see it as a weird powerpoint/excel precursor, but so much more.

My favorite hypercard game is Manhole.

plussed_reader··on Comparing the Framework Laptop with the MacBook Air M2: A Detailed Review
This reviewer seems really bitter about what Apple can manage with hardware where framework can't quite meet. The processor comparison seems woefully out of touch, among other points.
plussed_reader··on How The Economist’s presidential forecast works
Money oriented right is never center.
plussed_reader··on How The Economist’s presidential forecast works
Now if the Economist wasn't a warren of conservative talking points how might it land?
plussed_reader··on On being brought up by libertarian economists
I tuned out when the broadbrush came out for the economists. Handwashing nonsense for Money.
plussed_reader··on Spotify is increasing US prices again
Not from this listener.

When they can agree on revenue sharing that doesn't neglect the artist on which their service is built upon I'll start looking at them again.

plussed_reader··on Spotify is increasing US prices again
That something is called exposure, not money.

Oregon Trail says you can die from too much of it.

plussed_reader··on Sorry, iPads
And sidecar doesn't play well with federated setups and managed devices.
plussed_reader··on US Justice Department to seek breakup of Live Nation-Ticketmaster
What are the distortions of the market they hope to correct by performing a 'Ma Bell of Live Entertainment' to coalesce into a new 'At&t' a few decades down the line?
plussed_reader··on Researchers find high levels of lead, mercury and arsenic in Beethoven's hair
Should-ing on others is very close to another, similar 4 letter invective.
plussed_reader··on Apple: Sorry, your Mac app is a copycat of your iOS app. So you're rejected
0.5lb of crap in a 50lb adaptive interface; it's the exceptionally swift method.
plussed_reader··on The Grateful Dead's Wall of Sound (2019)
I have a pair of cardioid Neumann sdc that I usually use for a similar purpose, set with on a dual mount with capsules 180° opposed outward.
plussed_reader··on The Grateful Dead's Wall of Sound (2019)
That is my kind of tickler/teaser. Thanks for the share.
plussed_reader··on The Grateful Dead's Wall of Sound (2019)
Since balanced cables predate the GD, this strikes me as an acoustic implementation of an EE concept. Neat!
plussed_reader··on Apple introduces M4 chip
The writing was on the wall with the introduction of Swift, IMO. Since then it's been over complicating the iPad and dumbing down the macOS interfaces to attain this goal. So much wasted touch/negative space in macOS since Catalina to compensate for fingers and adapative interfaces; so many hidden menus and long taps squirreled away in iOS.
plussed_reader··on A fourteen-day free trial ain’t gonna cut it
When it comes to free advertising/exposure as compensation I think back to my early days on the Oregon Trail:

You can die from exposure.

plussed_reader··on The fishy death of Red Lobster
Once you realize the destruction of the sunk cost fallacy it's easy to detach from things that would harm you long term.
plussed_reader··on Chinese-owned Riot installs rootkit on every League of Legends players' computer
What isn't root about ring zero permission?
plussed_reader··on ByteDance prefers TikTok shutdown in US if legal options fail, sources say
I thought all businesses in China operate at the pleasure of the government?

Most recent attempt I can think of bucking that trend is Ant group and Jack Ma, who presumably still is in a room somewhere and not a dark hole in the ground.

plussed_reader··on Why I hate your Single Page App (2016)
Tell us more about blocking ads on porn sites....
plussed_reader··on French company ramps up production to meet demand for its military drone radar
Wouldn't the method of detection be a trade item to obfuscate until it's reverse engineered?

Seems like you're asking them to give up the farm for some PR.

plussed_reader··on A disk so full, it couldn't be restored
What if it's through a USB c adapter to a usbA thumbstick?
plussed_reader··on Honey bees at risk for colony collapse from longer, warmer fall seasons
And if the modern husbandry practice says bees don't thrive below the great lakes region, then what?
plussed_reader··on Tennessee becomes the first state to protect musicians against AI
Laws for me and rules for thee!
plussed_reader··on Indonesia's e-bike shops are building their own batteries
Capability is fine but also goes hand in hand with risk. Working on lipo/li-ion cells is risky which is usually why such work is not zoned for residential areas. How would your skills and training translate into something a neighbor or inspector can understand? Would you resent them for questioning your non-dentist abilities? Is someone with no formal training but years of practical knowledge working on devices enough?

It seems like the questions from my end bend back toward proving yourself when a situation breaks, not when it works, which is what sometimes happens when you do work yourself. Have you heard the parable of the nuclear boy scout, David Hahn?

plussed_reader··on Ask HN: What are your oldest "online" accounts still in use?
MultiUserDomain - a precursor to today's MMO. You could connect to an ascii based adventure/roleplaying game that others could connect as well and communicate. I played astaria.net back in the late 90s.
plussed_reader··on Former telecom manager admits to doing SIM swaps for $1k
TFA identified the period as between may 10th and may 20th, 2021 when the sim swaps occurred.

Also, once the log was audited it pointed to the individual that is facing sentencing in July, no?
