Partner's Firefox crashing again. Not sure how she does it (it must be a spell)


I still haven't finished watching all the BSDCan presentations, but oh my gosh, someone gave a presentation on deejayin!

"DJ-BSD: DJing and music production on FreeBSD by Charlie Li"

toobnix.org/w/p/cnQ1NJHwU9SXVW…

I have applied for @nlnet grants and more (like, commercial companies such as Native Instruments, the company behind Traktor) to work on improving such things (e.g. @mixxx which is featured in the presentation) with funding, unsuccessfully, but at least someone was able to give a presentation on such things!

Rad!

/me wonders what would have to transpire for @mixxx to gain "HID mode"/WIR support for Phase, similar to Serato and Virtual DJ.

e.g. phasedj.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/a…

in reply to Mixxx DJ Software

I don't know what they mean by "compatibility modes" Phase already functions with Mixxx given that Mixxx already supports e.g. Serato timecode (which Phase mimics via RCA jacks) but MWM (the company behind Phase) is not exactly forthcoming about a lot technical details to folks such as I, even though I preordered the friggin thing (in hopes I would have it for an invite I had to deejay in 2018, it wasn't delivered to me until 2019).

IMHO, if they redesigned their battery layout, they could probably have it in the form factor of a 12" disc, but I provided such a suggestion and I haven't seen even the slightest inkling they are looking to iterate their hardware.

Moreover, I get the impression some might want to use it as a turntable "calibration" device (e.g. to measure wow/flutter) but that is just me thinking weird things probably.

in reply to ティージェーグレェ

the "serato mode" is what I mean by a compatibility mode. We can use that but it would be cool to get native support.

while I'm yelling about shitty behaviour on here: only remarking that something was made in China when it's poor quality, but not making that same remark when it's good quality (or hedging it as "surprising"), is xenophobic. it's become a socially acceptable form of racism among tech folks (especially electronics folks) and it's super gross.

please do not get all of your opinions from certain "privacy advocates." thinking critically about the software that you use does not involve calling everything spyware because it contacts a server once to check for updates and report back on what features are being used or not without a single piece of personally identifying information

Thinking about applying to the Open Source Zone at Github Universe. Is this a thing that I should do? I assume that infra projects would be more popular, should I propose a booth for Twisted? For Automat? Fritter? DBXS? Pomodouroboros? Just submit multiple applications and see what sticks? If you are likely to attend such an event, would you like to see me there and what project would you like to see me representing?

What kinds of people even attend that conference? It's not one I've ever had any desire to go to.
in reply to Matt Campbell

@matt This is an open question for me as well! It's local to me, so it's potentially a promotional opportunity to people who like open source things.

The fact that:

1. This election is between a black female cop and a 34-time convicted white male felon

2. Almost every police union supports the felon

Should tell you everything you need to know about who the police really serve.



It really says something about the USA that a miniature kei car is "too dangerous" for public roads, but a lifted 8,000-lb pickup is just fine.

Is the reason why programmers don't like using spaces in filenames that shell scripts, and interactive shells in particular, are total garbage at handling them?

Like, any "normal" programming language handles them just fine without thinking about them, I think. But not shell scripts.

@alatiera now do this in a way that doesn't break when the prefix path (or some other option) contains a space.

Something like this would work, I think?

MESON_OPTIONS=('--prefix=/path with spaces/in it/' '-Doption=value with spaces')
$ meson setup _build "${MESON_OPTIONS[@]}"

Hi everyone,
I want to start by apologizing for the inconvenience caused by the recent downtime. Unfortunately, tech issues can occur unexpectedly, and today happens to be one of those days.
The current problem stems from our database servers going offline. These servers are managed by our provider, Linode, who handle backups and maintenance. Linode has informed us that the cluster is in a degraded state, but they are working to restore it as quickly as possible.
We have implemented code in the client that generates a local key, which is intended to function for up to two days if our servers become unreachable. However, this feature isn't performing as expected and will be investigated promptly. The current setup requires our servers to respond to the application when it requests a license, which unfortunately isn’t happening right now.
To mitigate the impact, we’ve put a temporary solution in place that allows the necessary data for the client to work. However, please note that this will only work for users who are already logged in to their TweeseCake account via the application; new logins won’t be possible until the issue is fully resolved.
Again, I apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused. We’re working hard to get everything back up and running as soon as possible.
Thank you for your understanding.
Josh


hey #Germany so my autistic child's school is tripling down on not let her wear noise-cancelling headphones despite the fact that her class is super noisy, nobody cares.

questions in order of urgency:

1. Do you recommend any discreet earplugs and where do I get them?

2. Even without a formal autism diagnosis, is it doable to get a random therapist or something to write a piece of paper that proves that my child is not making up stuff when she says that the class noise brings her to breakdown?

3. I know this is the hell country of infinite bureaucracy, but is there any reasonable way to get the dang formal diagnosis, on public insurance, without waiting until she's like out of university for the first appointment? Kid is 17, not fluent in German, and has a typical 'autism in girls' presentation (by which I mean, not the 'autistic' sterotype that uninformed doctors expect).

Wow, NYT. Really?

Hey, Laffy the online and print editions had different headlines, the online one being much more of a bit of right wing click bait.

(Which might explain why people I know in NYC IRL don't know what I'm talking about when I say the NY Times is going off the rails. )

Could this be an online only trend? (Doesn't make it right.)

@phanecak jedna z príčin úpadku turizmu v hlavnom meste? Myslím si... nemám k tomu žiadne dáta a pravdepodobne sa aj mýlim.
in reply to SuspiciousDuck

Turisti to maju kvazi lahke: nepaci sa? odidu a uz sa nevratia.

My miestni sme na tom horsie: musime sa na to divat resp. v tom fungovat. Pripadne sa zapojit do natahovaciek, ze kto, co, kedy, ako a za co s tym spravi. (Take to, ze ci stat, Magistrat, mestska cast, developer, alebo sami svojpomocne, atd. A ci na ruzovo alebo do hneda. A ci viac zeleno alebo viac betonovo. Atd. a pod.)



I want a version of MIRI (the #RustLang interpreter/checker) that makes noise whenever it executes undefined behavior. So I can listen to the silence... of soundness.

Nobody will remember:
- your salary
- how busy you were
- how many hours you worked

People will remember:
-that time the waitress said "enjoy your meal" and you said "you too"
-you hoped nobody noticed
-everybody noticed
-they think you're so dumb



Okay, the results of the screen reader survey are in:

"People who use screen readers, do you prefer hashtags to all be at the end of a post, or do you prefer hashtags to be mixed in with the main text?"

- 100 votes prefer hashtags all at end

- 42 votes prefer hashtags mixed in text

...so, it seems to be that hashtags at the end have a lot more fans, but it's not unanimous.

Android FOSS developers, please check if any of your dependencies are downloaded from JCenter or repo.spring.io. Both of those have shut down, resulting in failing (reproducible) builds (though you may not notice if you still happen to have them cached locally).

Many have moved to maven central, where a newer version may be available. But many others have simply become unavailable.

If you are the upstream of such dependencies, please publish them to maven central.
