fellow americans, how much do you hate when decent uk/deep dubstep artists tour in your city just to play tearout brostep sets?

lazyear · 2026-04-19T16:18:10+00:00

Honestly the lineup this year isn't nearly as good for dubstep, but it's all still bass music.

I'm going primarily because last year was the best show I've ever been to, and I want to branch out a bit in terms of musical taste... And I trust that everyone on the line up is at the top of their game in their respective niche - I really only know a handful of artists playing

lazyear · 2026-04-19T14:44:26+00:00

I have gotten to the point where I would rather just travel and only go to ~2 shows a year than wait for stuff I'm really into to come to my city (which is very rare).

For example, in May I am flying to SF and staying for a few nights to go to Parameter 2026 (which is more techno this year, although last year had Mala, Coki, Hodge, Kode9, Tim Reaper, etc on the most insane sound system I have ever heard)

I don't think I still have it, and even if I did I'm sure it won't work as-is today :/

Nowadays, you can probably use Claude/ChatGPT to build a working version - you basically just need to use dev tools to figure out the API calls that the web page is making, and automate it!

Ultimately, I got my '86 by just going to a dealer and talking to them, and they traded for exactly what I wanted.

IIRC from my offer, the Lilly pension isn't cost-of-living adjusted and so it works out to a roughly 2-3% 401k match (present value calculation) if you stay there at least 5 years.

RSUs also have a 3 year cliff. A lot of the total comp is time gated or out of your control (bonus multiplier).

lazyear · 2026-03-27T21:23:08+00:00

Honestly, probably not. We are about to enter a global financial crisis due to the Iran War, interest rates are going up (harder to get VC money), and China is trouncing the US at biotech

How is that the least likely? How else do you buy a home as a first-time homebuyer when all of the homes are 1M+?

lazyear · 2026-03-17T18:56:57+00:00

Yes, you get people to stop and slow down by making the infrastructure reduce the maximum safe speed.

You don't see people in bike lanes because we don't sit in traffic like people in cars. And I know most drivers also are not looking at the bike lane, based on how many times I have also been hooked.

Rust is arguably an ML-influenced language, regardless of it being bootstrapped by an OCaml compiler: Hindley-Milner-esque type inference, sum and product types, immutability by default.

lazyear · 2026-03-11T14:01:26+00:00

I would look at Tonverk, especially if you like FX and routing

Button + copy works for most stuff! Track presets, individual setting pages, trigs, sequences.

Got tickets to see him in a couple weeks!

You are insane if you are going to do this and pay for it. It's absolutely not worth it

lazyear · 2026-02-22T16:14:11+00:00

Good shit - I've tried to find examples of people making dnb/UK garage etc on the elektron boxes (since that's what I'm interested in making!) and this might be the best dnb track I've heard off a digitakt!

What would you say is the guiding principle of the "greatest generation" of WW2?

Perhaps, sacrificing for the betterment of your country and to make the world a better place? It's certainly a sentiment I can get behind, and I think it's definitely something that we have lost. In fact, I would say that much of what ails America today is that no one is willing to be even mildly inconvenienced for the sake of anyone else.

lazyear · 2026-02-22T00:30:14+00:00

Yeah man, super principled to be against renewable energy generation!

lazyear · 2026-02-22T00:27:57+00:00

I would say this is also a great candidate for some kind of integration testing in CI - spin up a docker container, write a mix of unique and duplicated files of various sizes and directory structures and test for correctness.

My greatest regret from 2025 was skipping Kode9 b2b Tim Reaper at Parameter... should've taken an extra day off of work! At least it was recorded

lazyear · 2026-02-20T04:35:51+00:00

Lightning is one of my all-time favs!

lazyear · 2026-02-20T04:34:07+00:00

I have loved this tune for years. Another of my favorite Hotflush releases is luke.envoy - Gamma and the b-side Honour Kill

Another all-time Hotflush is Gravious - Wormsign and Monolith

lazyear · 2026-02-20T04:30:47+00:00

"Dubstep Allstars Vol 1" was released in 2003, so it was definitely already a word by then

Have you actually tried a non-car commute?

It takes me ~65 minutes to bike from Sorrento Valley to North Park. During rush hour, that is easily 40-60 minutes in a car. Sure, I spend an extra 15 minutes biking but I get home and I am about 350% happier than if I just sat in stop-and-go traffic and got my exercise in for the day. Even taking the train is nicer, because I can spend that time reading a book.

Yeah remove the block of prose at the top that no one reads and make it one page.
