You can install 'code-server' with termux's pkg and access it from a browser. $ pkg install tur-repo $ pkg install code-server

"The audiophile community is full of fanatics as extreme as religious fanatics.." No it's not.

One guy who I would describe as a genuine 'Audiophile Genius' is Nelson Pass. See: https://passlabs.com/ Nelson Pass has designed a series of innovative amplifiers that he sells as…

Red book CD quality at 16/44.1 isn't 'mathematically perfect' at all anyway. The 22 khz Nyquist frequency is too close to the audio band, and there are unavoidable effects in the a…

With digital audio going to a DAC even with cheap cables, the '1's and '0's should be arriving OK and will be in "working perfectly" mode. You have to hope that is the case with US…

It doesn't mean that the cables or other equipment differences, can change the 'beats per minute' of a music track. If the bass is reproduced poorly and sounds 'woolly' it will sub…

In over 100 audiophile bashing posts, at last someone who actually understands the issues. USB cables have an 'eye pattern' which affects the timing of the signal presented to the …

Most modern audiophile DACS have asynchronous USB inputs, and hardly any have HDMI. I assume that is because the designers of the DACs all think USB works better than HDMI for high…

"I don't think you need to worry about only accessing the web via apps - it just won't happen." That's all right then.

You don't need to be an native english speaker to understand what the site is about - it is mostly pictures. We don't need some 'pompous twat' (as we say in the UK) explaining blin…

You've completely missed the point. At the moment we have a free web and we can use a variety of browsers to access it. If instead we can only access the web via apps and those app…

Dead right. It's people with pitchforks outside the Bastille. It's starving people rioting to reclaim common land taken as 'enclosures' by the rich people. I somehow think that say…

Thank you for explaining the jokes to us.

No it won't because the Raspberry Pi uses an older ARMv6 CPU type that isn't supported by Ubuntu.

I found the first NeXT keyboard was very uncomfortable to use, as the keys had very little spring and you would ram home hard against the 'end stops' all the time. I suppose keyboa…

I've been a professional programmer since 1978 and the article seems 'off-beam' to me. He thinks that because programmer was harder 30 years ago, that would be there was a higher b…

If writing language bindings for Qt based C++ apis is harder than writing language bindings for GTK C based apis, how come there are at least as many high quality language bindings…

The are a couple of very helpful articles on the Blue Jeans cables sitee about what is wrong with HDMI. "HDMI is a horrid format; it was badly thought out and badly designed, and t…

OK, thanks I've read the paper. If we are talking about whether 16 bits is sufficient dynamic range (the main subject of this Hacker News discussion) they say: "In one brief test w…

I thought I listed some of the possible flaws in blind tests - there is nothing unscientific about that. If you value the results of any sort of blind test, no matter how badly con…

Why would you value a 'blind test' over what an expert recording engineer, such as Barry Diament, thinks? There are a lot of problems with blind tests, and there has certainly been…

"When the CD was designed, 44kHz at 16bits was chosen because that exceeds the limitations of human hearing." No it wasn't, it was designed to be implementable given the technology…
