@Buccigross Current seeding makes this look worse than it is - Lightning have had very high caliber opponents first round every year. Lost to champs in back to back years.

Fourth 1st round exit in a row for Tampa Bay. I would think they are pondering significant changes to try to get younger and better. Kucherov has 2 goals in those 23 games. Weird.

Writing the code was always only one piece of making a product.

@damondahl8 Feel free to dm!

@inharmonicity what's the best way to connect with and interact with engineers like yourself?

Taps the sign

Definitely read DSP research papers at this bar.

Where were you the first time you heard Everything In Its Right Place?

And you think Trump is the best person to help an organization not go bankrupt?

@natemixing I don’t know what I would be doing without fab filter and sound toys the past 15-18 years.

I firmly believe as a professional computer toucher that there is a such thing as "computer mana". if you haven't earned the computer's respect you'll end up with all sorts of weird issues which will disappear the second that someone with high computer mana tries fixing it

Automated testing is about finding the right level of confidence that your software will be of acceptable quality for the criticality in question. It's not about finding certainty. It's confidence validated by reality. Understand this and testing becomes much easier.

@beautypill This happened to my wife on vacation. Changing out the cable/adapter (once everything was definitely dry) fixed it. Assuming iPhone.

Having a weird thing with my phone where it refuses to charge because apparently it got a little wet in the rain yesterday. No matter how much I charge the phone, it remains at 6%. It’s delightful.😕

Why am I only learning this in 2024

@tastybits @pitdesi This right here 👆. It’s not the age, these are completely different categories of speakers.

With speakers it’s a simple matter of size and physics, which have not changed in over 100 years. That looks like a 8” or 6.5” woofer in Tannoy, vs 3x 2.5” woofers in the Sonos. You need at least a 12” woofer to produce reasonable bass, and even multiple small drivers cannot effectively reproduce the lower wavelengths. With Tannoy there is a larger enclosure, which helps with bass response, with the Sonos the already small enclosure is packed with onboard electronics. How do they make those tiny 2.5” woofers project low frequencies? High excursion, which requires stiffer materials and higher power (bigger amp), which comes along with the need to digitally shape the sound to make up for peaks and valleys in frequency response you’re naturally creating. A small surface area has to do a lot more work to reproduce lower frequencies than a larger driver (and even then there are limits). There is only one way to provide exceptional sound: large drivers in very large enclosures, which can be driven by low powered amplifiers (distortion increases with output). There is no modern technology to overcome the physics of sound.

Why do these 40+ year old speakers in front sound so much better than the new speaker behind them? Likely some survivorship bias but in general I think older sound systems sound better. Can’t think of any other type of electronic device where the 40 y/o one is better than new.

@dhh Also, there is no monolithic “software industry”. Software serves different industries (banking, aerospace, communications, entertainment, etc) and they each have their own niche requirements. Nobody wakes up and says “I’m gonna buy me some (generic) software today.”

Don't converge, don't comply. The web is the most important software platform exactly because this hasn't happened. Write your Ruby, your Python, your whatever with pride and a smile. I'd rather stop programming before writing biz logic in Go or Rust!

@stevesi Did I just read that someone’s first move after getting out from under crushing student loan debt would be to go back to school?

@nthnblair @kilgorejack Bitwig goes in the elite tier for out of process hosting and hot loading changes IMO.

@kilgorejack fr shoutout reaper for letting us attach a debugger

okay hot take but this is actually one of the more intuitive DAWs i've tried

hot take: arm neon simd intrinsics are way better than sse intrinsics

The level of YOLO in the normalization of pulling in a zillion libraries, packages and extensions from the rando internet has always been disturbing to me.
