cramjabsyn··on This is a Chord (2016)
Modern indie music: three 7th chords and a chorus pedal played for 250 people
cramjabsyn··on This is a Chord (2016)
I guess D would make more sense than E, but also G E A sound great in a progression

"One chord is fine. Two chords are pushing it. Three chords and you're into jazz." -Lou Reed
cramjabsyn··on There's something off about LED bulbs
No lifetime issues so far. I’ve been using their GU10 halogen substitutes for I want to say about 5 years
cramjabsyn··on There's something off about LED bulbs
Cheap LED bulbs generate the worst light I’ve ever experienced. But after some research I found that there are options that make a nice warm light with no perceptible flickering.

Personally I prefer the phillips warm glow dimmable bulbs

cramjabsyn··on Apple passwords deserve an app
I agree it could be more polished but there is an app called Keychain Access that does give reasonable access/search/management of icloud passwords
cramjabsyn··on Playing video games can help to reduce stress and anxiety, and improve mood
> Try distracting yourself by attempting to work through the details of what's going on.

This helped a lot with flying anxiety, once I could put a reason to most of the sounds and movements of flying I could relax a lot better. An unexpected one will get my attention though

cramjabsyn··on Toxic fumes on airplanes? Airlines may have to do something about it
I’m quite certain the redundancies in your average kube system are more robust than those on the MCAS. single sensor for starters
cramjabsyn··on T-Mobile is buying Ryan Reynolds’ Mint Mobile for up to $1.35B
Coming to a largely startup/business news website and complaining about the investments that celebrities make doesn’t make a ton of sense. These investments are better when made by a “no-name” individual?
cramjabsyn··on Roku devices don't support IPv6 in 2023 and it's costing ISPs
No, the absurdly poor migration path to IPv6 is costing the tech community as a whole.
cramjabsyn··on Couchbase withdraws non-profit event sponshorship 4 days before
Are you?
cramjabsyn··on M1 MBP down to 3.5hr battery life when writing code
An accidental advertisement for vim
cramjabsyn··on Tell HN: Fired after 7 years during maternity leave paperwork filing
Attorney is the best (only really) course of action here, schedule a free consultation (or a few) and see if you have a case.

Also, while understandable, showing your cards like this is risky as it'd be easy for the company to identify who you are.

cramjabsyn··on Half of Americans now believe that news organizations deliberately mislead them
Why is it that propaganda somehow has become a new idea? Is it because the phrase “fake news” dumbed it down?

Either way its always been a factor, and was likely worse before the age of information.

The big problem now is there are multiple competing false narratives, instead of just the one in the paper.

cramjabsyn··on Apple doesn’t want you developing hobby apps
Why are you running Apple if what you want is FOSS?

If I want to develop freely on my phone I'll use a OS made for that.

With that said after experiencing "hobby" quality android apps (and worse) I am fine with the higher bar of entry to iPhone. iPhone just works, android can be tinkered with.

Accept them for what they are designed to do and use the one that suits you.

cramjabsyn··on Tell HN: DigitalOcean is doing layoffs
> I don't really get the motivation for this beyond personal greed

That's all you had to say

cramjabsyn··on Remastered 'Myst Mobile' Game Now Available on iPhone and iPad
I mean, I quoted the site’s copy at the time which just said Myst
cramjabsyn··on Remastered 'Myst Mobile' Game Now Available on iPhone and iPad
> Myst can be played on devices that have an A12 chip or later, or an M1 or M2 chip.

uhh Myst can be played on a 486

cramjabsyn··on Ask HN: How can Netflix and Amazon Prime be this bad at recommending content?
Maybe they push content that is cheaper to license optimizing for some sort of license-cost-per-viewer-hour metric
cramjabsyn··on Google Python Style Guide
Google again with the not invented here syndrome
cramjabsyn··on No level of alcohol consumption is safe for our health
Doing dry jan this year helped to change my perspective on alcohol. My current outlook is that its fine outside the house as an enjoyable social thing, but drinking at home isn’t worth it. I’m sure that view will change over the years.

There are so many things in life which no level is safe, exhaust fumes, microplastic exposure, radiation, the passage of time, the key to all of course is moderation and time between exposures. except that last one

cramjabsyn··on Teenage Engineering Field Desk
Cool. Let me know when the undo feature lands, that'll be worth the $1300
cramjabsyn··on Teenage Engineering Field Desk
No, OP was correct. Although the pocket operators are good at their price points.

OP-Z - a downgraded version of the OP-1 that assumed its price point

TX-6 - a $700 mixer that is too small for human fingers…

OB-4 - A $700 bluetooth speaker with a loop pedal in it for some reason

cramjabsyn··on Teenage Engineering Field Desk
Please stop promoting TE.

What once was an interesting company making unique instruments has become an overpriced brand pushing useless and objectively bad “designer” products.

cramjabsyn··on Gentoo Is a Project Car
Haha came here to say this
cramjabsyn··on Silicon Valley needs to stop laying off workers and start firing CEOs
We need better labor law than “at will” and healthcare that isn’t tied to the employer. Mass hiring and mass layoffs shouldn’t be able to happen on a whim, especially across an entire sector.

We cant blame CEOs for exploiting workers to maximize profits. This is very predictable behavior that is currently incentivized.

cramjabsyn··on I don’t want a new phone, but I’m probably buying one
“Phone companies can’t support their hardware forever”

Ok, fine, it should be mandatory then that EOL hardware be unlocked and able to run FOSS operating systems.

iPhone 7, for instance, has plenty of life left in the hardware, yet are being “recycled” due to ended IOS support.

cramjabsyn··on I don’t want a new phone, but I’m probably buying one
Not so much ram as it is battery life and performance optimization
cramjabsyn··on Don’t teach during code reviews
Ehhh far from perfection, more like “please use the native feature that handles this in 2 LOC instead of shelling out to an external 100 line script”
cramjabsyn··on Don’t teach during code reviews
> I think people take code reviews way too personally. Like, my priority is to ensure I don’t have headaches down the line

I feel this, and have personally experienced submitters taking feedback far too personally, to the point of even using sunken cost as justification of their design, completely overlooking valid points of feedback.

I’m looking for basics. Will it work? is the code clear? is it commented/documented? is the approach simple and maintainable?

Some submitters really need coaching on how to receive feedback, and how to plan their timelines to incorporate revisions.
