VCV Rack is a titan in the FOSS eurorack modular world. nothing else comes close. I have a physical eurorack as well but i use Rack all the time to sketch out ideas and to explore …

protip. small piece of scotch tape and a small piece of paper. when you need camera, just fold the paper open. when it gets worn out, new paper and scotch tape.

tbh it seems like the distinction being made by the stuff about 'alt-lit twitter' and 'weird-facebook' from a few years back https://stayhipp.com/media/tiktok/what-is-alt-elite-tik…

TipTop is a bad actor / goes against the ethos of many others in the eurorack space IMO. I have their mantis case, was my first eurorack case, and while it's good I do dislike that…

Not tryna be flippant here but probably not. See comment history for other arguments ive made on this. I am incredibly skeptical that the engineering ethics / practices of any orga…

your anecdote seems to support the case for stronger more populated unions with better negotiation outcomes.

Im curious about that too. If you were a skilled programmer who studied common bugs, you could introduce those bugs intentionally but with plausible deniability if caught. Then aga…

fascinating, thanks for this post.

> I do think there will be a crash similar to 2008, but this is not evidence that it is coming. i agree but i lack a specific metric or analysis that supports my thinking. do you h…

if i'm getting my shit done at work, then im going to get my shit done at work.

Lowering meat consumption writ large, even just more people only having one meat meal a day, would be huge too. Meat production is super resource intensive. Have to grow grain for …

if i paid a 5 dollars per much subscription to tap would you offer me an "ad free" version where you use NFC or bluetooth or GPS to turn off the ad playing on the fountain? im half…

Does anyone happen to know if there's a name for the "theme" that this site seems to be emulating in its terminal-esque design? It looks sorta like Monokai but with a really nice d…

you could probably figure out some cool insights about tech people's beliefs and opinions in aggregate with some clever NLP and sentiment analysis and some.... ahh, not asking for …

funny, i build a basic little script that did this back in like 2015 so i could give my GF at the time a copy of all her instagram, which she was trying to do via scrolling + scree…

yeah i mean honestly you're probably right. But in reality, the whole point of advocating for something that skeptics call "utopian" isn't to achieve that specific utopia per se. I…

Frankly i agree about gov intervention in such matters because how can you really, honestly take a company at its word that its self-appointed accountability board is actually inde…

Reminds me of yesterday's hn frontpager, the paper about a "programble programming language". they were talking about how domain specific languages within a single language become …

from the article, > While Facebook will select the first 11 members of the board, the eleven will choose the remaining board members, with terms lasting three years. facebook picks…

well it would solve problems for all the people who really do want to use a different / better social network or chat app but cant get their friends to switch too, killing the idea…

i feel like the function of success would be pushed into other areas like the actual value of the feature being made available to competitors. or speed of competitors adoption of s…

Dunno, but all kinds of things could happen with novel co-dependent alleles with devistating effects when the express. Imagine theres a cool gene edit in 100 years that lets you li…

Look again lots of people here are saying that the research can continue but must be held to not only ethical but engineering standards of the highest order. If youre willing to co…
