>"Ring" means you are navigating linearly and circularly. Ring is also a group of people, sometimes unified by a single purpose and lead by a "ringleader". That's the way webring i…

I'm not sure I've read anything more wrong on Hacker News than this post.

Poverty is a spectrum. Naturally, abject poverty is worse than regular poverty. I see too many people say "you're not poor, you have a phone" or "you're not homeless, you aren't sl…

It's a terrible policy. I know someone who is 74 and never owned a computer. They own a smartphone but only know how to use the phone app and really don't understand texting. I was…

Same here, everyone I've introduced to Live has been completely stumped by session view and preferred linear arrangement. I don't understand why it's the default view other than ha…

I use RSS for Reddit and don't plan to ever log in again. This latest upheaval reminded me I was spending too much time there and after taking a break I've realized most of the con…

Good tip. I just recently started tagging my bookmarks because I have too many to easily sort.

I love these types of projects! Good job.

I used to like Opera for the built-in mail client but had always used Firefox out of principal. I've grown weary of FF's shenanigans and once I discovered Vivaldi had a mail/rss/ca…

Uh oh, I'm going to be wasting a lot of time with this...

Great movie. I didn't know Falk was in it and this created a very surreal experience when he arrived on screen.

Added. Thanks for the reference.

Those are generally for editing vocals. A de-esser is a narrow band compressor to used to soften the "s" in speech. De-clickers remove transient sounds, like the sound of your lips…

It's not a common operation, but this is a massively important feature to have. Occasionally I clean up audio that's in such horrible condition I have to edit individual samples be…

That's basically Substack, right? There is a lot of buzz around it right now. I haven't formed an opinion, I see a lot of potential good and bad in that model.
