Title edited a bit to clarify that it's UK datacentres, and that it's specifically proposed ones - apparently the network is being swamped by speculative applications for grid connection and this might help weed out the non-serious candidates.
Original title was "Data centres could pay hundreds of millions in deposits for power demands"
This one has a digital oscillator, but uses a coil of wire wrapped around a loudspeaker to introduce feedback into the audio path. This somehow gives a really nice 'roughness' to the sound.
Yabridge works, and it's frankly incredible that it works at all, but it has some trouble figuring out where I'm clicking on EZDrummer. It's gotten better in the latest version of Linux Mint but it's still a bit off.
You can still sometimes find mushroom ketchup in UK supermarkets. It tastes a bit like Worcester sauce (spicy and 'brown' tasting), but milder as it has no anchovies in it.
I've had a coffee from a high end bean to cup machines, installed in a conference room at our vebdor's headquarters, which used fresh milk and made a better cappuccino than I've had from real humans at many chain coffee shops. They might be rare, but they're out there.
Bit of a mixed bag for me. There are a lot of things that work remarkably well, but I have some issues with GPU performance (Cyberpunk 2077 just doesn't run well on Linux for me, despite running great on Windows on the same PC, and GPU-heavy apps like Insta360 Studio and Topaz Denoise run excruciatingly slow or not at all) and some things just don't work (my audio VST plugins work alright, albeit with some bugs about window position handling, but I can't get some of the licensing apps to work under WINE).
I'd prefer to run Linux, but one of my two primary dev targets requires a proprietary Windows IDE (Automation Studio by B&R). So running that on Windows then using WSL to develop for my Linux servers is the easy path.
I really like Darktable, and it's my go to photo editor, but the user interface really isn't intuitive on first look compared to something like Lightroom. The design choice that editing modules should be ordered by their place in the pixel pipeline is logical and sometimes useful, but it ends up with a lot of the controls being in rather weird places. The customisable quick controls palette would help, if it weren't that simple things like cropping can't be added to it (at least, last time I investigated this - perhaps it's changed now?)
Unfortunately, vintag.es does seem to have done some work here - while they copied the text, they also added several more images to the single image in the original post.
Hah, damn. We live in different worlds - in mine, 100K samples/sec is blazingly fast!
I'm currently working on a PLC program, replacing the PLC's basic cyclic input sampling (max 2K samples/sec) with a harder-to-use mechanism that lets you access the raw data off its 12-bit ADC at 10K samples/sec, which we consider unusually speedy.
Some of my code gets deployed to a PLC aboard a wave power generator hundreds of metres offshore, with a cellular link that might go down in a storm. If something gets unrecoverably wedged, retrieving the device starts at $10K to hire a ship.
Yeah, it's pretty mind-blowing how well this works, even though the setup was a bit janky.
Sadly, after moving my music production setup from Windows to Linux, I'm locked out of some of my expensive sample libraries because while the plugins run fine, the licensing programs do not. Very frustrating.
No, that serves a completely different purpose: I don't want to read through a very large discussion when this perfectly good article is here. Hence my point. You know this already, as you already change your wording depending on whether you're pointing to a duplicate article, or a valid article but where there's discussion elsewhere.
You could just admit that you made a trivial mistake on a post that's already fallen off the front page, you know. And then we wouldn't both have wasted our time.
No descenders - fine. But I find the lowercase L, and to a lesser extent the lowercase F, very unpleasant looking. Something to do with the overly intrusive and segmented curve.
A video about building an animatronic head, with the mouth movements done using a series of mouths on a servo-operated tilting/rotating ball, similar to the 'golf ball' mechanism used in an IBM Selectric electric typewriter.
Simultaneously extremely impressive and a bit cursed looking.
They could have made their own, but it's really not that uncommon for music to slowly increase in tempo. Some styles of music use it more than others - for instance, ceremonial drumming might start out extremely slow and build to a frantic climax. But it's also fairly normal for musicians who are playing live, rather than to a click, to speed up when the music gets more intense.
I'm unable to resolve the domain on EE UK - looks like it's DNS blocked.
By comparison, on my work network (TalkTalk) I can resolve the domain but I get a connection reset from the site.
I think this might be the first time I've hit a DNS block. It feels rather eerie seeing people talking about a site that, from my point of view, doesn't even exist...
Really cool project - I'm always a fan of things which make writing music in plain text easier.
It looks pretty bad on Android Chrome, sadly - when a tab block is attached to a word it seems to make a large gap between the first letter of the word and the rest of it. Hope it's an easy fix.
