RIP Bill Hicks

You can make a windows registry change to have Chrome let you keep using uBlock Origin, with the V2 manifest. It will buy you six more months, basically the enterprise support period.

There was a handy shortcut created by the Security Now podcast you can use as a one-click file to update the policy. The show notes also give a more detailed breakdown of what’s going on.

The relevant section in the notes is page 10. The link to the file is page 12. https://www.grc.com/sn/sn-995-notes.pdf

Rich dad poor dad. Rich dad never existed. It’s all made up grift and, consequentially, people fall for it and make expensive life investment decisions after it.

My great uncle worked in cobol on a Ge225 for the us army and then several banks. To program they had to print them out on punch cards. Once you loaded the programs they then had to set up a completely different algorithm for each bank as it sent in data because nothing had been standardized and they each had their own system. Once you did set up the banks’ approved formulas in their module of code, this computer could do operations on the data coming in over a connection. These computers were already on a phone line to the banks way before Internet was a concept!

Here’s a fun manual from the successor called the GE 235. http://s3data.computerhistory.org/brochures/ge.235.1964.102646091.pdf

Do you know what was going on in the first half of the 1940s??

Logan Paul, so far!

Pulled a Rittenhouse.

Great game. Spent so much time in prison in LORD

Käärijä with the write-in vote. He’s already taken over the NHL stadium beats, therefore he’s in the hearts and minds of the Finnish people. 💃🏻💃🏻💃🏻

Remember when open ai was a nonprofit first and foremost, and we were supposed to trust they would make AI for good and not evil? Feels like it was only Thanksgiving…

Columbus is a bigger population than Cleveland. It’s kind of the bigger city these days.

I was going to say that if you want a lake then you want Cleveland, not Columbus. Also there is an inner suburb of Cleveland called Lakewood you should check out. It has a great LGBTQ+ scene (for a smaller city) and is super welcoming in that friendly midwestern way.

Cool project! Will it explain some of the related concepts like envelopes and ADSR? It might be nice to talk a bit about calibration/microtuning so it can match external gear. Also maybe some recipes for making sure a readers synth they build has a few basics to work from.

Is the synth going to support the other scales? C is great but you’re gonna want the black keys.

In terms of things that make you stand out: paying attention to the UI/UX of the interface. How do people use it? What do you like about the other interfaces they have?

Another feature is support for drivers. Something Linux and windows have less adoption/support compared with Macs. Obviously it’d be nice if your synth could take in sound from controllers and output to other gear. Or have your sequencer drive a midi clock for other devices.

Another direction is to look at what parts of audio you find interesting. Maybe it’s low latency fax processing, maybe it’s elaborate acoustic modeling or reverb, or control of harmonics. All those are good ways to stand out and specialize. Or tools to help analyze and visualize audio.

Look at some of the existing VST ecosystem and you might get inspired!
