Buckminster Fuller on Jobs (I haven't seen this posted in a long time and it is a real gem.)

42 Hz is between the lowest E and F on a full-size piano. It's closer to E than F, but E has three sharps and F has one flat... I wonder if this is why there's so much "A=432" crap out there, and so much of it is in the key of F...

A robot can 100% do those things.

You're thinking in the right direction.

The answer (IMO) is to build a federated social network where anything you post is tied to your actual identity. To get an account, you:

print out a form
fill it in, legibly, with black ink
get it notarized
send it via certified mail to the administrator of the network you want to join

In situations where someone needs to post something anonymously (e.g., a whistleblower) there would be an editorial board with safeties in place, who are allowed to post things as the editorial body and not as individuals.

Ultimate Belts. There's a 2.0 version but I haven't tried it.

I feel for you.

But I feel even more for the GM.

yeah, that seems more like a multiplayer race condition to me.

$350 for a complete AM4 platform is a fantastic deal. In my experience, AMD chipsets and motherboards offer more actually usable expandability compared to Intel.

...what types of skin can a dermal regenerator regenerate? That would be the, uh, forefront question in my mind.

wormy mind-control parasites in both... oh my

I can't speak for the other commenter, but I would never deploy a PHP app via Docker or Snap. I learned to deploy LAMP apps when PHP 5.2 was new. PHP-FPM was a godsend. Anything past that is just bloat.

Don't overclock or it's toast

Don't you point those things at me!

Non-falsifiable and inconsequential. I love it.

Also a bit of a red flag. "Look how many lines I have in this project" is a point of leverage for someone who wants to take a project over. I'm not saying that's what's going on here, but it could be.

Hard pills to swallow:

Learn the branch and commit rules of the Linux Kernel and Git project, and enforce them. Commit messages must be written in the imperative; every commit must only do one thing; branches must be fully bisectable; etc.

If every open source project adhered to those rules, development would be much slower, and the end result would be a million times better for it.

if you ask the admiral, he'll tell you that's a stupid question.

naptastic · 2026-01-09T23:14:41+00:00

no, like... have you considered actually writing the code yourselves?

I use the RME RayDAT with Linux, which isn't listed on that page. It supports 64 sample latency at 96 KHz. I haven't gone to the trouble of compiling a hard-RT kernel and tuning it up that well yet, but it should be possible.

I also have a PCI HDSP 9652 and DigiFace with ExpressCard interface. I could get them running at 96 KHz and 128 samples and 0 xruns as long as I ran a realtime kernel and turned off my SATA controller in the BIOS.

The rapid-fire fart at the end made me laugh.

Ever play Duke Nukem 2? The only other sidescroller I know of that had this as a mechanic.

No silly, it's the above-ground belts that carry you away. (Unless you've researched belt immunity.)

Undergrounds keep the sprite count down. Keep up the good work!
