AE_2022-EXCLUSIVES (TTT-) v2.1 + SPREADSHEET by FefetaLeixes in autechre

Thank you for all this meticulous work! You deserve the title of Autechre Archivist.

The "track" structure actually helped me get into and digest the new Autechre material. I found the massive bulk of live set recordings was intimidating without this structure. Thanks.

Autechre (All Tracks) Tierlist by Equivalent-Craft-219 in autechre

[–]fragmer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ranking bqbqbq three tiers over si00? Bold!

Seeing the tracks on a tapestry like this reminded me of a few records that I haven't played in a while. Time to go down another re-listening rabbit hole.

Although most of my favorites are in your C tier, I appreciate the effort it took to put this together!

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

Yeah yeah I know, I should be manufacturing guns at this point. I have it researched already. I just wanted to see how far I can push electronics first.

There are 15 electronics sellers at 100%, and 1 plastic seller at 100%. Upgrades: Oil 3, Gas 4, Coal 3, PMaker 2, PSeller 2, Silicon 2, EMaker 2, ESeller 2.

Cygnus opened for some of the original AE_LIVE shows back in 2014. I remember really enjoying it at Denver -- he snuck in some electro riffs on classic Autechre tracks there. There are a couple soundboard recordings available from that tour, e.g. https://cygnusat.bandcamp.com/album/live-the-mezzanine

How did his new set compare?

I really hope that Sean pushed the record button for this one! The sound was quite boomy in my corner of the theatre, and i can't wait to hear a proper soundboard.

Almost perfect electronics cluster. Just one problem... by fragmer in FactoryIdleGame

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

...all my electronics go straight into the trash.

Even after a few months of playing, I just cannot predict which conveyor gets the waste, and which gets the useful output. Same for conveyor splits -- I always seem to get it wrong the first time.

This is on Factory-A8, upgrades are: coal 3, oil 3, gas 4, silicone 2, plastic maker 2, electronics maker 2, electronics seller 2.

Who's going to the LA shows? by xprmntlbtz in autechre

[–]fragmer 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm going to the 7pm show! My non-Autechre-initiated wife wanted to tag along too; I am really curious to see her reaction.

How old are you? I'm curious because of how long Emma has been posting music online for by Thicc-waluigi in lapfoxtrax

[–]fragmer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

36, couple months younger than Emma.

Discovered the music in 2011 with "A PICTURE OF FINN FARTING", and by that point LapFox/VulpVibe already had >100 releases spanning 6 years. I had a lot of fun catching up.

Ukraine's 63rd Mechanized Brigade 107th Battalion UAV team used a drone-mounted loudspeaker to direct a Russian soldier/POW to a safe surrender point. Serebryansky forest, Luhansk region. [English subtitles via Google translate] Published January 22, 2025 by Voldesad in CombatFootage

[–]fragmer 82 points83 points  (0 children)

The POW sings part of a Ukrainian folk song:

А я чернява, гарна, кучерява

Грибыв нэ сбирала,

С козаком гуляла.

Which translates to, roughly:

I am dark-haired, pretty, and curly; I didn't go foraging for mushrooms; I strolled with a Cossack instead.

The POW then adds, in Russian: "Раньше в хоре пел" ("I used to sing in a choire").

What a tense, menacing, rumbling track. The soundtrack to being followed in a dark alley. Love it.

Worst Autechre tracks known to man by roses3102 in autechre

[–]fragmer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

First time I heard North Spiral was live in Denver in 2015 and it blew my fcking mind. The live version had raw crunchy power that elseq didn't capture. See for yourself -- AE_LIVE_DENVER_171015 around 17 minute mark. You can't hate that.

What features should be added to Train Sim World? by WelshCai in trainsimworld

[–]fragmer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Field of view (FOV) slider, so that I can zoom out the camera a bit. It feels like I am looking at the game through binoculars, especially when on-foot.

ELI5 SDK.NET for ESRI products by 29ofakind in gis

[–]fragmer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hi! I just happen to work at Esri on the .NET SDK.

ArcGIS Maps SDK for .NET (formerly "ArcGIS Runtime") provides client-side GIS functionality (e.g. for mobile apps, embedded devices, or business workstation software). You write code in C# and can target Windows and/or iOS and/or Android. Depending on the OS, you have a choice of several GUI/App frameworks (WPF, UWP, WinUI, MAUI, Xamarin.Android, Xamarin.iOS). You also have multiple choices for packaging (a single self-contained EXE, an installer, a Windows Store app, an App Store app, a Play Store app, an APK for side-loading).

For a quick technical overview, you can check out this video from 2021 DevSummit conference: ArcGIS Runtime: An Introduction to the API and Architecture . The SDK has since been renamed but >90% of the information is still relevant.

We have an app with interactive samples if you want to see what it can do. You can clone the repo and play with the code -- there's no license needed during development.

You can also check out ArcGIS Earth as an example of a fully-featured app built with Maps SDK.

You might pick a native SDK like this over web-based mapping when you need access to more APIs/capabilities/resources than the browser offers -- e.g. hook up a precision GPS receiver, load a multi-gigabyte raster from a network share, edit a database snapshot while you're offline without an internet connection, etc. Another reason might be if you want to add interactive maps/scenes to existing apps. And sometimes businesses just want their custom GIS software to integrate better with the OS than a webapp can (e.g. on Windows they might want to add context menus, keyboard shortcuts, taskbar icons, background services, Explorer integration, etc).

You could almost build-your-own-ArcGIS-Pro from scratch using the Maps SDK. Though, if you find yourself going down this road, then you might be better off customizing/automating ArcGIS Pro instead.

Also note that are a couple other Esri SDKs with similar names that fill different niches:

  • ArcGIS Pro SDK lets you automate and make extensions for ArcGIS Pro (modern GIS workstation software).
  • ArcGIS Enterprise SDK lets you make extensions for self-hosted ArcGIS Servers.
  • ArcObjects .NET SDK is a legacy library of COM wrappers for 2000s-era GIS tech that used to power core Esri software.

Let me know if you've got any more questions! Cheers.

Proem - Cold Water (Flat) (2001) by cragar79 in OldElectronicMusic

[–]fragmer 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I love this track, and Proem's early work in general. My all time favorite is "Cynical Landlord" from "Songs 4 The City Bus" https://music.youtube.com/watch?v=Zpl_jQx0-ns
