Thought this was a really interesting example of DIY spirit and might be well liked here. Couldn't fit everything into the title but it's also using an atypical key layout (Wiki-Hayden)
I know HN tends to run a bit more technical and this article is more for the business minded/technically challenged but I'd love to hear any thoughts from my peers on this.
1. Did I oversimplify the concepts too much?
2. Could I improve the language or clarity in anyway?
3. Should I put more pictures with funny captions?
The laptop is really just a tool to host different virtual instruments.
The "instrument" most easily associated with the past 15-20 years of electronic/pop music making have been Wave Table synthesizers like NI Massive and Serum.
Remember Skrillex? Those screeching sounds and basses are using Wavetable synthesis (from NI Massive in particular).
A big part of the reason it's harder to associate a particular instrument with newer electronic genres is because it's FAR easier (and more common) now to program your own patches (essentially a preset instrument) for your songs.
The DX-80 mentioned in the next section was VERY difficult to create patches for (even for it's time) so when you hear it in a song, it's almost always the included stock patches.
>The 80's was the electric keyboard and synths, kinda.
You'd associate a few types of instruments (and synthesis types) with the 80s but the reigning one was FM Synthesis, in particular the Yamaha DX-80.
Give a listen to some stick DX-80 patches and you'll immediately go "Yep, that's the 80's"
Can't reply directly to SirSourdough because of thread limits.
>I don't think this really address the point though. Alcohol is sold with known purity, quality, and quantity. You aren't going to overdose due to an impurity.
Their argument was never that it would stop everything, only that it would help (and I agree).
How many people have you met that have gone blind from drinking "bad" alcohol? During the prohibition era, this was an actual issue people faced.
>A major decline in the risk per use massively outweighed by a huge increase in use over time due to legalization.
There is evidence that decriminalization when paired with other policies can potentially cause decreases in usage as well as a decrease in negative outcomes such as HIV transmission rates and drug deaths.
A UK study led by a panel of experts analyzed a number of recreational drugs and evaluated them across 16 different criteria.
Alcohol was one of the most dangerous drugs and was unique in that it was the only drug that posed more risk to society than it did for the actual user.
This is of course, not definitive proof of the parents assertions but the findings do lend evidence to it.
A business partner and I heavily prefer to utilize markdown for note taking (we generally use Typora) but this poses problems when we are trying to colaborate on a document together.
Does Obsidian support real time collaborative editing?
Hey everyone! I wrote this up and felt it might be of interest to both the technical peeps here (Scroll down midway for some EBS & Instance Store benchmarks) as well as the less technical peeps (Stuff near the top for you folks).
Would love to hear any thoughts about the article, my benchmarking methodology, or anything else really!
Happy to answer any questions you might have as well :)
Currently on mobile so won't be able to post much.
To focus on one particular subset of this, recent research seems to indicate pretty conclusively that there is greater variability of (certain aspects of) intelligence among men than among women.
The reasons for this are poorly understood.
Is it genetic differences? Are boys and girls encouraged to investigate different things? Is it a limitation of our testing methods?
We aren't entirely sure yet so it's hard for people on either side to claim any complete understanding or provide a definitive answer.
You're in a perfectly soundproof room with one other person.
Whatever you talk about with this person can't be heard by anyone outside the room.
This room can only help guarantee that no one outside can hear you, not that the person you're talking to is trustworthy.
If the other person is a thief and you tell them where your valuables are, they could be stolen.
If the other person is trustworthy, you can be sure no one else will hear what you tell them and your secrets are safe.
The soundproof room is HTTPS. The other person is a server.
You could tell someone something like this and provide a lay person with a basic understanding of many fundamental building blocks of the web rather quickly (DNS can be explained as a phone book for example).
>That's the way it's always been. That's the way it has to be.
My sarcasm detector may be off so if it was, please forgive me.
Why must it continue to be that way?
It's possible we must expect and accept that children from broken, impoverished, or abusive homes will just be, well, screwed in comparison to their better off peers.
Can't we instead look for a better way?
- Improve the funding and education of our public schools (particularly by the decoupling of property taxes being the primary source of school funding).
- Take a hard look at our current minimum wage and find a way to make it easier for hard working people to make ends meet, allowing them more time to nurture and teach their children.
Giving up on hard luck children is by extension giving up on our societies future. To me at least, thats simply untenable.
I'll send a resume your way. I've got 10+ years experience doing devops/sysad.
Just finished performing a migration of a large Rails monolith from a legacy EC2 based setup to an ECS based setup.
