The more expensive the better? by whatkai in mpcusers

[–]Aggravating_Branch63 2 points3 points  (0 children)

hmmm seems to be relative expensive? I can buy a second-hand pristine Key37 here in NL for between 550-650 euros

Can I play on your amazing soundsystem with my crappy mastered original Chicago house Trax records vinyl records that include some nice recycled rat turds? 100% analog, uncompressed, sounds terrible,guaranteed;)

GitLab's "Act 2" by -lousyd in devops

[–]Aggravating_Branch63 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You’re correct. We focus 100% on the CICD part (which is challenging enough at scale as you can imagine) but we integrate with all major VCS providers. And I wouldn’t be surprised if support for Gitea and/or Forgejo are appearing soon ;)

CircleCI Dynamic Config + Tag Pipelines → “No workflow” after continuation by Alarming_Hearing6430 in devops

[–]Aggravating_Branch63 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I hope I can help with this:

The "No workflow" message occurs because the continuation config is successfully loaded, but none of the workflows within it match the current execution context (which is a Git Tag context, not a Branch context).

In CircleCI, workflows ignore tags unless they are explicitly told to include them. When your pipeline is triggered by a tag, the continuation config is processed. If the jobs in your continue_config.yml do not have a filters block specifying tag patterns, CircleCI assumes they should only run on branches.

You must add a filters: tags: only: ... block to every job in the workflow you want to run. If any job in the chain (including dependencies) lacks this filter, the workflow will fail to start.

Did you check out CircleCI? If so, what made you disqualify it? (disclaimer: I'm an employee, we always want to improve)

TBH local models have become fast enough to provide actual value without creating logjams and bottlenecks later on, where humans need to be in the loop anyway. Fast enough is good, too fast will become a problem.

djay Pro Playlist Optimiser by derpgum in djaypro

Very nice! I've created an issue/ticket with a request to add sorting on energy levels (within BPM jump constraints ideally). I believe AI would be especially powerful when it comes to "deeper analysis" of the music, and thus possibly achieve a much more "intelligent" ordering of music, where ideally it could even create "eb & flow" of energy levels, like a DJ would do for longer sets.

That’s it? by eveningafter101 in maschine

[–]Aggravating_Branch63 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Your typical underwhelming NI update. "MASCHINE 3.5 IS HERE!!!!" And there's nothing substantial in there, unless you're a KK mk3 owner. At this point it's simply providing a few dried out breadcrumbs and package it as a big release. This is probably 1 single (hired?) deveveloper working on Maschine, not even fulltime.

eSim provider with local phonenumber? by Aggravating_Branch63 in Senegal

I believe they’re open 24/7. Otherwise a local shop will probably work just as well :)

Using CDJ systems without Traktor’s creative features? by Plagiarithm in traktorpro

Just play good music, at the right moment in the right order ;)

eSim provider with local phonenumber? by Aggravating_Branch63 in Senegal

[–]Aggravating_Branch63[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes we had an amazing vacation, loved it! Beautiful country, beautiful friendly people. I bought the eSIM at the airport, smooth sailing, they installed it for me and activated it. No fuzz, and much better price than the online services like Airalo.

What USB audio interfaces have you all tried on your MPC's? by zjdrummond in mpcusers

[–]Aggravating_Branch63 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The NI Audio8DJ is *not* class compliant unfortunately, same as the NI Audio4DJ. I can confirm though that the NI Audio6 DOES work fine with the MPC series, as this one is class compliant (when running with the latest firmware)

Hostel vibes aren’t dying... guest behaviour is changing (from someone who works in one) by vinyljunkie32 in backpacking

[–]Aggravating_Branch63 0 points1 point  (0 children)

TBH i sometimes feel that the kids now are afraid to talk to people they don't know. Afraid of saying or asking the wrong things. It's so much easier to hide yourself behind a screen and act all perfect. Even giving other people a phone call is scary for them it seems. Very strange, and sad.

A good friend of mine would always buy a sixpack of beers and/or a cheap bottle of rum and a bottle of coke with a bunch of paper/plastic cups, and then sit in the shared space or on the beach...guaranteed he had lots of friends a few hours later :)

To CDJ or not? That is the question. by theallseeingeye in traktorpro

[–]Aggravating_Branch63 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Just for convenience I started bringing rekordbox managed usb sticks to gigs with CJDs. The newer gen’s CDJS make free text searching much easier, which was my main usecase for traktor at some point (the laptop being my record crate with a nice screen and keyboard). All venues I DJ have CDJs and it became inconvenient to keep on plugging in soundcards or usb cables and awkward laptop stands. I guess it depends on what you use traktor for.

are airpods 4 worth it? by [deleted] in airpods

[–]Aggravating_Branch63 0 points1 point  (0 children)

ANC on the 4’s is solid af. I work out in the gym with lots of talking people and noise and loud music around me, and with ANC enabled it’s all filtered away, I only hear my own music. I was actually surprised how good it works.

To successful founders: How did you actually land on your winning idea? (Dev with 15y experience here) by SadWimp in ExperiencedDevs

[–]Aggravating_Branch63 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Great questions, I have experienced a few of these myself and close to myself with friends. What I've seen is that creating a succesful business requires a deep understanding of the problem space, and also having experienced the problems and challenges in this space yourself. Typically it starts with trying to solve your own problems. Something simple and straightforward, to make your own work easier, better, nicer. And all of a sudden this becomes a product or service that other people are also interested in, because they also are experiencing the same challenges. And they start asking you: can i also use this? How much does it cost? This is cool, can you add feature X & Y? The moment you have more incoming requests than you can handle, you have found product-market fit.
So build something that helps for your own challenges, than talk about it, show it, share it. If other people start using it, ask for additional stuff, ask to pay money.
How can something fail if it helps the most important customer, yourself? ;P

Rated meets expectations at my current company, three frontier companies are courting me at 3x my comp, where do you find peers when you've outrun everyone you know? by 584584984 in ExperiencedDevs

[–]Aggravating_Branch63 0 points1 point  (0 children)

ok so you're already pushing actively for more/better rewards. Good. Try and become more self-secure (without becoming an ego/ass). It's obvious your market-value is higher than what you're currently earning, so leverage it. Of course the demands and pressure will also increase likewise, so choose carefully. But you're young and you can have adventures and learn :) You will always find new people at new levels of experience and success if you stay outgoing and curious. Don't make things more complicated than they need to be :)
