I bought a 1973 Fender Jazzmaster that was immaculate and should have been my forever guitar. I was so afraid of "ruining the value" that I sold it. I couldn't play it, I was so paranoid. It got into my head. Instead, I ended

I'll be the "Ackchyually" person for those who don't know. Proton tweeted support for a _single_ thing the Trump administration did, on a subject that mattered to Proton. Otherwise, they have a strict neutrality position

I love IRC, particularly #freenode. I really detest having to first search out then go through the whole process of signing up for yet another Slack group.

As a newspaper developer, let me tell you, a horrible flaming death isn't good enough for it.

I'm not at all surprised, but I am disappointed (to say the least).

Oh nice. A company that does nothing but collect personal information. I’m already in their identity protection program, so I'm a little nonplussed at this.

Literally teams of interns manually re-typing old articles from microfilm. OCR isn't quite there yet, not for dealing with the ways newspapers and newspaper design has changed over the years. You'd get the text, but there would be

One of the biggest issues is that a lot of newsrooms have zero control over their CMS, because they're owned by a corporate entity that dictates IT decisions from afar, slowly and with much gnashing of teeth. Family-owned papers like t

It's also great if you you're doing a bunch of time/pitch mangling.

Probably compressing the living daylights out of it. By squashing it down, they flatten the amplitude in the music and things with a lot of transients (by definition, drums) suffer. It results in a lot of fatigue, because the higher the com

What timing! I was just telling my coworker this morning that Transmit was the best money I ever spent on tools I use for web development. I've been using Transmit for a long, long time and I still feel like I haven't fully utiliz

The second this happens, will people tune out and revolt against it, making it no longer "pop"? What will be the post-AI pop music?

I use Tachyons for 99% of my styles, writing minimal amounts of highly specific styles. My productivity has gone way up and I no longer have to worry about CSS pretty much at all.

This is what I encourage all of our team to do, it just seems like a no brainer. Having stray "testing" strings pop up in our logs without any source is hella annoying.

This is a false dichotomy. Abandoning a website because of a paywall !== bad user experience. The UX can be fine, but the user may be poor. Many websites have restricted logins and perfectly acceptable UX.

A time machine is the only solution. As a web developer for a family-owned newspaper who recently removed our failure of a metered-paywall, the only solution I've been able to come up with is a time machine that sends a killer robot ba

In my opinion that book should be the starting point. The official tutorials have you way deep in the weeds with database migrations and stuff before you even have a basic understanding of where you're at and why. Worst "hello wor

I run a Hackintosh for my home studio and it simply comes down to cost/performance ratio. I can build a legit Hackintosh for less than the cost of a Mac Mini. EVEN IF they offered a new Mac tower, I'd probably still build my own.
