Thought this was a really interesting example of DIY spirit and might be well liked here. Couldn't fit everything into the title but it's also using an atypical key layout (Wiki-Hayden)
I know HN tends to run a bit more technical and this article is more for the business minded/technically challenged but I'd love to hear any thoughts from my peers on this.
1. Did I oversimplify the concepts too much?
2. Could I improve the language or clarity in anyway?
3. Should I put more pictures with funny captions?
The laptop is really just a tool to host different virtual instruments.
The "instrument" most easily associated with the past 15-20 years of electronic/pop music making have been Wave Table synthesizers like NI Massive and Serum.
Remember Skrillex? Those screeching sounds and basses are using Wavetable synthesis (from NI Massive in particular).
A big part of the reason it's harder to associate a particular instrument with newer electronic genres is because it's FAR easier (and more common) now to program your own patches (essentially a preset instrument) for your songs.
The DX-80 mentioned in the next section was VERY difficult to create patches for (even for it's time) so when you hear it in a song, it's almost always the included stock patches.
>The 80's was the electric keyboard and synths, kinda.
You'd associate a few types of instruments (and synthesis types) with the 80s but the reigning one was FM Synthesis, in particular the Yamaha DX-80.
Give a listen to some stick DX-80 patches and you'll immediately go "Yep, that's the 80's"
Can't reply directly to SirSourdough because of thread limits.
>I don't think this really address the point though. Alcohol is sold with known purity, quality, and quantity. You aren't going to overdose due to an impurity.
Their argument was never that it would stop everything, only that it would help (and I agree).
How many people have you met that have gone blind from drinking "bad" alcohol? During the prohibition era, this was an actual issue people faced.
>A major decline in the risk per use massively outweighed by a huge increase in use over time due to legalization.
There is evidence that decriminalization when paired with other policies can potentially cause decreases in usage as well as a decrease in negative outcomes such as HIV transmission rates and drug deaths.
A UK study led by a panel of experts analyzed a number of recreational drugs and evaluated them across 16 different criteria.
Alcohol was one of the most dangerous drugs and was unique in that it was the only drug that posed more risk to society than it did for the actual user.
This is of course, not definitive proof of the parents assertions but the findings do lend evidence to it.
Meth addiction can also really mess with sex drives. In college I had a friend who was a social worker and she said that with the growing meth usage meant increased child sex abuse, basically due to parents getting high and then messing with their own kids. This is secondhand, but she was clearly disturbed by what was an increasingly prevalent issue in our college town.
A business partner and I heavily prefer to utilize markdown for note taking (we generally use Typora) but this poses problems when we are trying to colaborate on a document together.
Does Obsidian support real time collaborative editing?
Not yet, currently most of our users bring their own sync (Dropbox etc.), so if you edit the same document in real time that might create conflict copies.
We're working on a sync service with end-to-end encryption (for convenience, completely optional), and we might improve it to support real-time collaboration in the future.
I'll send a resume your way. I've got 10+ years experience doing devops/sysad.
Just finished performing a migration of a large Rails monolith from a legacy EC2 based setup to an ECS based setup.
