@oldladyplays tbh, i have had the same experience you described with both browsers and that sort of defines when i switch to the other. some important site completely fails to work. right now i'm on chrome as firefox webmidi support was broken last time i was on firefox. so i do not see obvious "great" in the browser arena...

only locked in constraint is that i don't touch derivatives because upstream gets e.g. security fixes fastest.

GoogleFinance gives let's say EUR-USD ratio for a given date and stuff like that...

Hmm... Does any of the standalone spreadsheets, such as #LibreOffice Calc, have equivalent to excellent #GoogleFinance function in Google Sheets? While at #Intel I used that to fill my tax reports and some of my co-workers used my "app" too but I've lost in since...

I'd rather redo it in standalone spreadsheet rather than browser...

Cubasis is unlikely contender for this but maybe something like https://www.beepstreet.com/ios/drambo could possibly realize this. My all time fav on mobile in Caustic but it is pretty much dead project unfortunately... still the best music software made ever made for phone tho ;-)

I hope a mobile #DAW such as Cubasis would take on #dawproject format. That would be a kller app for me at least or truly useful application other than compatibility. I.e. easy way to draft stuff on phone or tablet, and then move it seamlessly to desktop. On desktop it is supported by #Bitwig, #StudioONE and #Reaper (last one through ProjectConverter).

@josh @thisweekinrust @rust @clarfonthey the main reason i like to use kernel mastodon is that it self-governs my social media behaviour. i consider everything that i post and comment against CoC as I would in LKML :-) bit off-topic from the discussion, but i could see the point in such domain if you ought to keep your social media semiprofessional and on topic...

@brauner interesting but not too surprising. like e.g. for almost any possible way you could ever possibly think of exchanging key material between peers or groups, there's some company with a patent. i'd expect that if i have anything with at minimum two code blocks, there's an entity with a patent for that.

there's a place for software patents, when it is like an actual invention but for most part they're nonsense. good example of such might be marching cubes algorithm for instance, for which autodesk held patent up until 2005 (imho rightfully so)...

I have a hard time understanding why Red Hat patented the concept behind the idmapped mount work I did? I mean just overall why even do this and also why hasn't anyone ever talked to us about this? I don't care about patents but this is really weird given that this patent is given to a single person but none of the actual people involved in this are even mentioned. Then again, I know nothing about patents. 🤷

How to buy Hacks, Leaks, and Revelations, and how to get it for free https://micahflee.com/2024/01/how-to-buy-hacks-leaks-and-revelations-and-how-to-get-it-for-free/

@ReimanSaara Joo, jep 🤣

Samoin olen havainnut, että lähes jokainen merkittävä poliittinen liike Suomessa tykkää puhua talouspolitiikastaan objektiivisena, lähes tieteellisenä. Onhan siinä tietty se perä, että kaikilla on käytössään samat VM:n tutkimusraportit yms. mutta on jopa aika tieteellisesti kestävää todeta, että ennennäkemätöntä tulevaisuutta koskevat päätökset ovat aina väistämättä arvauksia, joita tukevat aiemmat historiaan perustuvat kokemukset.

Esimerkiksi viime vuosina tekoäly on muokannut todellisuutta täysin ennalta ennustamattomalla, mutta raskaasti yhteiskuntaa muovaavalla tavalla, ja mikään vuosia vanha raportti ei ohjannut meitä valmistautumaan tähän rajuun muutokseen.

@ReimanSaara Jep, ja myös jonkunlaisia tieteellisiä meriittejä omaavia riittää Suomessa ja maailmalla, jotka ovat osanneet muuttaa auktoriteetin tuottoisaksi bisnekseksi. Esim. Suomessa on suorastaan perinteet kliinisen lääketieteen tutkinnon omaavista ihmisistä, jotka myyvät kaikenlaisia tohtorin erikoisrohtoja ja ravinto-oppeja :-)

#tokyodawn #prism is rad! #voxengo #span has met its replacement in my books :-) https://www.tokyodawn.net/tdr-prism/

often over-looked topic in #audio #plugins: relocation of data. many plugins gather dust in my collection because it takes too much effort to share the presets and other data (such as samples and wavetables). this is managed badly in the audio industry to the level that it is exception that there are convenient mechanisms to do this.

Ottamatta kantaa mihinkään yksittäiseen lehtiartikkeliin, niin kannattaa olla tarkkana asiantuntijoiden kanssa. Jos jonkun tieteenalan asiantuntija esittää näkemyksensä ajankohtaisesta aiheesta mediassa, niin se ei ole monesti kovinkaan poikkitieteellistä tulkintaa. Maailma on monimutkaisempi kuin minkään tieteenalan kapasiteetti tulkita sitä. Monesti tulevaisuus voi myös yllättää, ja monien tieteenalojen tutkimustieto on nimenomaan jo tapahtuneen yleistämistä, ja ennustavat mallit luodaan vain ja ainoastaan tämän pohjalta.

Jos tiedettä haluaa ymmärtää pahansuopaisesti, niin se aina on eräänlaista jälkiviisastelua, katsottiin sitten menneisyyteen tai tapahtumahorisonttiin. Toinen puoli tietysti on se, että joskus tällainen suppeasta perspektiivistä tehty tulkinta voi tietenkin olla myös täysin oikea, mutta sopivalla tasolla oleva kriittisyys on hyvä pitää mielessä.

@islieb cool, i could interpret this with my lousy german

Today, 15 years ago #OTD the person or group with the fictive name of “Satoshi Nakamoto” created the first cryptocurrency named Bitcoin with the thought of it becoming a secure and fast alternative to fiat currency.

Now it's known as the most wasteful use of electricity, inefficient and limiting capability/functionality, as well as being among the most insecure and de-anonymizing ways to transfer money.

However, what Satoshi Nakamoto probably hasn't expected is how many scam-currencies would come after theirs, and how their invention would create a new breed of the most annoying people known to our species: crypto-bros.
