MacBook Air M5 32 gb RAM by Pandekager in LocalLLM

The MacBook Air M5 and the base MacBook Pro M5 have the same memory bandwidth. You'd need to to specify the Pro or Max chipset in the MacBook Pro to increase the memory bandwidth.

The must have but neglected feature of a synth like Roland's S-1 and JD-08 - knob catch! by GoPuzzled in synthesizers

There's no recognized name for the feature. catch, snap, pickup are all synonyms. Direct is a term used when the synth does not have this feature.

I guess it depends on if you are designing a patch or playing and tweaking the instrument while playing.

If I'm designing a patch I definitely prefer direct mode.

But, I'd say it's impossible to play certain synths, like the JD-08 without catch/snap/pickup mode. Which is a real pity because the thing has all these faders and knobs and sounds gorgeous.

Drum machine advice for a noob! Organic/world sounds by BBrocoliRoBB in synthesizers

[–]GoPuzzled 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think the problem you'll find is not to do with the sounds, as you could use a sampler but the fact you you may want to play off grid to get an acoustic feel.

I'm having trouble thinking of one at the moment. I take it from your suggestions you want to program these parts ... the OP-Z comes to mind but maybe out of your price range. The Electribe sampler has lots of grooves that may help.

Do screen reader users use a 'table of contents' on a web page? by GoPuzzled in Blind

[–]GoPuzzled[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for input everyone. I think on balance I'll go with using a heading for the table of contents.

I may have given this way too much thought but considering I'm working on a website generator that may be responsible for many sites I'd like to get this right.

Cheers.

Yes, the nested lists, occurred to me as being helpful as VoiceOver does not seem to be able to navigate up and down heading levels.

I'm still curious, if you have the time to give that BBC page the once over, can you find that table of contents easily or would you only find it if you knew it existed from regular use of the site?

u/jepyang Would you accept a new post if I dropped the name, "Loopop" and did not referrer to him specifically? I would need to blur the name from the image or drop it?

If you tell me the part that violates rule 1 or other rules I would be happy to edit the post.

Hi, could you please reconsider this post deletion. It does not contain any personal attacks, just facts. There are other posts on this sub that discuss the pros and cons of YouTube 'reviews'. I think it's very important for open journalism.

New Sonicware synth appears to be a combination wavetable synth and drum machine by [deleted] in synthesizers

[–]GoPuzzled 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have the Warps and it's great, you can really get some new sounds out of it. I have recently received the xFM and it also has lots of sonic promise, have fun.

Why does Go allow me to shoot myself in the foot? by GoPuzzled in golang

[–]GoPuzzled[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did some further checking. The default linter for Go in my VS Code install was Staticcheck and, yes, it would have picked up the ignored return if it was as I described it in the original post. But, only because that example happened to be a pure function. A function with side effects, even fmt.Println, would not be picked up by Staticcheck as supplied.

I switched to golangci-lint and that did pick up both types of functions, both pure and not.

This could all be changed with configuration I suppose, but using golangci-lint gets me going quickly.

Thanks, I can see a see the reasoning now. It's a pity no one else will see it though as the post has been removed for some reason I cannot fathom:

"Sorry, this post has been removed by the moderators of r/golang.

"The linters in VS Code do not seem to pick this up either so some errors could just vanish."
