Well, I've gone and done it. I've joined the madness that is #TEamSuno, I guess. They had a black Friday sale on and I don't usually bother with those, but hey, money saved is money saved. Here's what I fed it. This is a guitar riff I wrote circa 2004, and I've just had it sitting around for all these years. In the second post, I'll show you what it returned, when I asked it to give me a version with sax, bass and drums. It's quite the something.
@fireborn Playing clips is best done from the table with virtual cursor active on <screen-reader>. If you try to play without virtual cursor on, it kinda don't be workin very nicely at all much.
how can someone not figure out their VPN app, but can find your email out of all of them in the license acknowledgements section and go "yeah, this is who i should ask about this"

When I was at Microsoft, I encountered the phenomenon of the -1x engineer. The people who threw a load of code at projects that then took at least one full-time engineer to fix bugs in and refactor. These people were often rapidly moved to positions where they could do less immediate damage, such as going to cross-group design meetings. Unfortunately, this raised their profile and got them promotions and transfers to other teams who did not initially know how much damage they’d done in their previous team.
Interestingly, if you look at commits, these people had the exact opposite profile to the so-called ‘ghost engineers’. The people fixing their bugs would often make a load of single-line changes, they would be the ones throwing a thousand lines of spaghetti into the repo at a time. Often, it wasn’t just that the code was bad, it was the design was fundamentally flawed and they were solving entirely the wrong problem, but they wrote a lot of code and so looked productive.
The best engineers increase functionality or performance and write a net negative volume of code.

Looking up some stuff about Ghost's recent narrative concert film, Rite Here Rite Now, and it's so incredibly fucking wholesome seeing younger queers finding comfort in the very camp anti-Christian popular beat combo.
But I am also feeling old a.f. because no one is doing any fan analysis or headcanoning of the Wizard of Oz stuff through a Friends of Dorothy lens, as a complement to the narrative of false and hollow imperial power, and I'm now thinking that I'm maybe from the last generation that had that frame of reference. (Like, I'm not that old at 40-cough, but it was certainly part of the oral culture of queer history when I came of age, even though I didn't have much of a community.)
For anyone else who enjoys sundry Wizard of Oz theories, after adding some time codes, I'm also pretty sure that the soundtrack album doesn't map to any edit of the movie, but I'm still waiting for someone to actually do that, just to fulfil that old Dark Side of the Rainbow idea.
Glossary & Citations:
Friends of Dorothy Old slang (pre-1970s) term for gay men in particular and queer people in general. The Wizard of Oz books and films are rich in queer symbolism and the term appeared in cant and code when being gay was still illegal and taboo. Oz references, particularly to the 1939 Judy Garland film, were at one point common tropes of LGBT+ culture. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Friend_o…
The Dark Side of the Rainbow The idea that you can use Pink Floyd's The Dark Side of the Moon as an alternative soundtrack to The Wizard of Oz. Not queer-coded. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Dark…

This might be easy to spot but just wait until the AI starts to sound some what convincing enough that you actually need to waste energy thinking about it
@troed probably not zero, but these reports are so low quality that I doubt these particular ones will manage to get much. This is similar to how people have always tried just running security scanners against products and reported whatever the tools said, without understanding the output at all.
Welcome to Monday. Daughter abed, off school with a migraine. The new preventatives are not yet living up to their names.
I did crack open the cream yesterday, which is one of the key moments in my personal march toward the holidays. So first coffee of the day this morn was a deliciously hot, strong jolt of 'Get your butt to work soon' with a spiral of creamy goodness. A busy day at work, and then a stupidly early start for a 5:21AM train tomorrow, so not sure how i'll be feeling about that when I get there.
I am sat warm and comfortable with coffee 2 while I fill in the school absence form and ponder my morning's schedule and tickets.
Back in 2021, we launched a series of stories documenting the key ways that the ultrawealthy — #billionaires like #ElonMusk, Jeff Bezos, and Peter Thiel — avoid #taxes. Here are 10 of their strategies.
Hi, @jcsteh. I'd like to report an issue. I would do it in Bugzilla, but it appears that I can't comment on closed bugs. bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.… was marked as a duplicate of bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.… which was marked as fixed 8 days ago. However, the issue from Bug 1927237 doesn't seem to be fixed in recent Nightlies.
Sorry you're still experiencing this. I'd suggest filing a new bug with exact steps to reproduce, including addresses of pages you're testing with. My guess is that we're dealing with a similar but not quite identical issue. If you give me the bug link once filed, I can ensure it gets triaged and directed appropriately.
TIL about #DecemberAdventure - what a lovely counterpoint to #AdventOfCode I tried the latter a couple of times, but found it stressful after a few days. This looks much more relaxing.
Cool suggestion. For me I know if I did that no code would get written, the hard part is getting myself motivated and get a spec to write against, but I can see how other people who are better at this than me would find it cool.
Documenting my low-equipment at-home workout regiment. How I work out, why I work out, my workout split, my list of exercises, and advice I’m soliciting.
I figured that if I spend 5-6 hours a week doing something I care deeply about, I should probably mention it on my site.

Not to mention: "After all, this is precisely what has happened in Argentina after its citizens elected libertarian Javier Milei last year. The results so far have been astounding as Argentina has experienced a material drop in inflation, green shoots in economic growth, and world leading equity returns as a result of his sweeping changes."
Today I woke up at a silly time and started playing around with my old midi files, remembering that Foobar 2000 has a plug-in that can play them through sound fonts. It's fun to listen to my music from back then, rendered by instruments that I did not intend. Some of it still sounds decent. Here's a sample.
that's cool to know, and I don't mind the transcoding so much as long as people can hear it. :) It's good to know I can keep it as FLAC in my instance though.
Is there any chance we can encourage you to trend #NVIDIA when that's the company you mean, please? I know what their NASDAQ handle is, but #NVDA is much more widely known as the name of the screen reader we make and the #NVDA hashtag is very widely used for the screen reader. It will save both our communities polluting each other's feeds. If you'd like to find out more about the screen reader, our website is nvaccess.org/ - Thank you!

不，我試圖將 #NVDA 標籤的主要用途（用於名為 NVDA 的螢幕閱讀器）與應使用 #NVIDIA 標籤的 AI 金融內容區分開來:) / No, I was trying to separate the main use of the #NVDA hashtag - which is for the screen reader called NVDA, from your AI finance stuff which should use the #NVIDIA hashtag :)
TIL the Brave browser is a literal crypto scam. They claim to compensate website owners and content creators with their BAT token, but if you don't or can't claim the rewards within 90 days they pocket the tokens themselves. Apparently it's extremely difficult to signup and claim your BAT tokens... news.ycombinator.com/item?id=1…
I spent the last two days playing BG3 and learning Godot and I now have a working player for text adventures written in Ink. 🎉
Ink is a scripting (as in code) language for writing scripts (as in story) for narrative-driven games. It's built as middleware for game engines, but it can *mostly* be used on its own for text based interactive fiction: inklestudios.com/ink/
I say "mostly" because while there's a web-based engine for running ink games, the feature-set is understandably limited.
Another great episode of the #2Bobs #pocast - Questions, Not Answers.
Blair Enns and David C. Baker cover some interesting territory. Being able to ask good questions, listen to what is said (and not said), then incorporate that into more questions is powerful. Being curious about people and their problems is such a critical part of being able to help others. This is true as a consultant or as a friend.
Blair interviews David on his recent article about the idea that expertise does involve supplying answers, eventually, but mainly expertise is about asking the right questions, first, and then offering a few answers after the truth surfaces.
Another great podcast episode by @drvolts - Dan Savage on blue America in the age of Trump - it was an interesting reflection of urban politics. volts.wtf/p/dan-savage-on-blue…
Dan Savage joins me on Volts to discuss how NIMBY-captured city leadership is failing Democrats — and why making cities better is the key to building the party’s future.

Carlos Tavares, le patron de Stellantis (Peugeot, Fiat et plein d’autres marques) vient d’être viré. J’aurais fait une petite danse de la joie, mais il a été viré pour les mauvaises raisons, comme expliqué dans l’article.

In this article, I will explain how to identify hard drive bottlenecks on Linux using various tools and commands and what to look for when troubleshooting disk-related issues.
Does it mention what power system he used since this machine may be an ac only system like the previous mac mini machines or did they go for usb c for power delivery?
In my opinion, Visual Studio Code is not in the same category of text editors as Emacs or Vim, especially for keyboard-intensive users. However, it has some highly attractive features and extensions. One such extension uses the languagetool spelling and grammar checker to create a tree widget populated by errors and warnings from languagetool and other sources, including markup validation. The original Ltex extension for using languagetool no longer seems to be maintained, but this fork is. ltex-plus.github.io/ltex-plus/ #TextEditing #VSCode #MarkupLanguages
