I believe this is operating a similar or same architecture as this historically significant quartz clock time standard: https://www.rmg.co.uk/collections/objects/rmgc-object-79394 Believe it or not this piece was

and that's fine in some sense if you're honest about what you're doing. I have at least one guitar that I rarely play but I keep because I consider it a work of art and a collectible. But, I have others which are workhorses a

Could mount a guitar pickup under the tines of a kalimba and get much the same effects.

The only time I had this other than changing to SSD was when I got my first multi-core system, a Q6600 (confusingly labeled a Core 2 Quad). Had a great time with that machine.

Gemini and it's tooling is absolute shit. The LLM itself is barely usable and needs so much supervision you might as well do the work yourself. Then couple that with an awful cli and vscode interface and you'll find that it's

It's a dev workstation for me. Currently inside is an i7-9600 which I limit to 3.6ghz and a cheap 1050ti. The CPU is technically over the TDP limit of the case but with the frequency limit in place I never exceed about 70degC and due t

I bought this case a couple of years ago after this article was linked here. I love it. It's beautifully engineered. Top quality. It sits at the corner of my desk proudly silent. I'm likely about to upgrade the pc within but the c

He also did not do (or at least did not mention) anything about the reflected/diffused and ambient light behind and around the TV screen, which would negatively impact contrast.

Drivers and control panels for interfaces are also an issue on non macOs and windows platforms. I don't see hardware vendors changing that any time soon.

Dare I say it but perhaps some sort of natural language input would be interesting here. If the software was primarily driven by a command list back-end, had a bunch of semi-preset solutions to common problems, and also could be "spoke

Isn't that's asking for terrible UI latency?

I understand the frustrations with the current DAW offerings. Many of them have a very long history in taking over where the analogue tape machine left off. Some have developed much further though to support a more digital-first approach. B

Absolutely agree with you here. There's a huge divide between people who might play with this at home as a toy and those who would be able to work with professional musicians with it. The latter group will have some very strict require

Because when you want to record your instrument along with whatever else is in your project, timing is critical and everything needs to line up. You cannot be performing to audio that you are hearing with any delay, especially if the monito

Easy decision to send you a few pounds for this. This is no small task to put together and looks really impressive. I can't wait to try it out :) I have a history experimenting with 3D audio - about 15 years ago I build myself a pair o

I use syncthing to sync all my photos and a few other bits and bobs to my local NAS. Works wonderfully. I also took that setup to allow me to sync some selected media back from the NAS to my phone. This way I am not reliant on cloud service

This is correct. In the 90's I recall London area prefix changed from 01 to first 071 (central) and 081 (greater) and then 0171 and 0181. Later still, those codes became 0207 and 0208. I still notice old shop signs up with the old pref

You can just buy a very cheap module which does this directly, commonly called HC-06 or HC-05 e.g. https://www.aliexpress.com/item/33010159305.html?spm=a2g0o.p...

What's jarring me with the parent's example is the fact that the context managers must be holding global state. It would feel a lot better if it was this, for example, where you use each context explicitly: from diagrams impor

A problem I find with all of these is how can I render and publish the results somewhere on our corporate infra for everyone to see? And then, how do I ensure that the diagram-as-code in the repository is synced with that published render?
