First few lines of the tutorial linked above the fold: > Welcome to Sonic Pi. Hopefully you’re as excited to get started making your own sounds as I am to show you. It’s going to be a really fun ride where you’ll learn all about music, s

"Unlimited" has always been a lie. There is no free lunch. There are always limits. I've had to unwind "unlimited" within startups that oversold. I've been bit by ISPs, storage providers, music streamers, fucki

I know this snarky, I'm sorry ahead of time. But I don't know how else to make this point... The fact that the people running r/progamming don't know not to wait until April 2 to publish this tells me that they don'

Microsoft is now largely a public cloud company, also supporting a very healthy suite of B2B productivity tools. Which makes the B2C ad stuff they shove into Windows all the more infuriating: it's a drop in the bucket relative to their

One thing I was found interesting about Dreamcast piracy was that everyone was burning them onto 700 MB CD-Rs. But the retail games were actually pressed onto 1GB GD-ROMs: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GD-ROM For a lot

For pirating games: PS1, PS2, Dreamcast, for sure For straight up modding: definitely the Xbox. The 007 and Mechwarrior bugs blew everything wide open, and the fact that it was just a PC with real (upgradeable!) storage spawned projects lik

Just recently dealt with this for a big Ticketmaster event. The Apple ID has to match the email address on the Ticketmaster account, or the ticket will show as Void in the Apple Wallet. But it does solve the offline issue that the blog auth

I had a lot of _ideas_ in my 20s. I fully spec'd out "On the Way" with a buddy of mine. Picking up beer close to your destination? Gas close to your departure point? The inverse? We would have you covered. We had a path with

Honestly, I'm shocked you got OpenBSD running on a laptop at all. I've tried running it both on bare metal x86 hardware and in a Hyper-V VM on two different boxes, and spent hours failing to get it to recognize my network adapter

Upside though? I was helping a more software-oriented buddy get a PC build up and running that'd been half-finished by some kid he paid to put it together. The GUI on the EFI config was so intense, it was slowing down and completely lo

I'm actually mostly in your camp here. But it's complicated with AI. What if someone gave you a binary and the source code, but not a compiler? Maybe not even a language spec? Or what if they gave you a binary and the source code

+1 for the HUZBZB-1. I waxed more poetically about my setup already[1], but I've had that little guy for over 4 years, it was plug-and-play on day 1, and I've never had a single issue with a Zigbee or Z-Wave device. (Wi-Fi? don&#x

I factually agree with what you're saying, but I don't think it really changes the practical outcome of the situation: a private organization is available for-hire to arbitrarily root and snoop on fully patched iOS devices at stat

Honestly, there's plenty of tools out there that can do the same thing. The important crux of the counterpoint to this article is "if you ship your database, it's now the API" and everything that comes along with that. A

I'm not OP, but when someone is a repeat offender of some petty crimes, and they're assessed to be mentally ill and/or addicted to drugs, they should be given a choice: help or jail. (Ideally, jail would just _be_ help, but u
