deeblering4··on New startup sells coffee through SSH
In your list of prohibited items? No. That's my point.
deeblering4··on BlackHole: macOS Audio Loopback Driver
How is the latency for you? I know blackhole is advertised as 0ms itself, but I always found that crossing virtual devices incurred the input/output latency of the daw itself.
deeblering4··on BlackHole: macOS Audio Loopback Driver
Because of price gouging. $100 for basic audio routing is absurd, and they'll hit you up again eventually for upgrades.
deeblering4··on BlackHole: macOS Audio Loopback Driver
Why not? You can create multi-output audio devices in macos, say blackhole and your speakers and use that multi-output device as the input in the recorder.

I don't see a rule where joking is prohibited. People sure love their buzzwords though. Must bring them a feeling of synergy in these unprecedented times :)

Glad that at least a few people above got the joke

deeblering4··on Twitter in chaos as employees accept Musk’s invitation to quit their jobs
I'd almost put money on twitter 2.0 going on a blockchain

And by "a dime" I mean "a significant total comp package"

Full self destruction mode will be ready next quarter!
deeblering4··on Exec who cleaned up Enron calls FTX mess 'unprecedented'
> For example, employees of the FTX Group submitted payment requests through an on-line ‘chat’ platform where a disparate group of supervisors approved disbursements by responding with personalized emojis.

So... the payment system was a discord bot?

deeblering4··on A few tech startup CEOs in my country had started saying Elon's methods are fine
Of course they will, until something materially horrible happens. They are all members of the CEO club and will defend each other out of a vested interest in avoiding knock-on effects. Why would they want to introduce additional volatility?
deeblering4··on The FBI alleges TikTok poses national security concerns
TikTok as-is presents a massive attack surface for (d|m)information and worse. And the version available in the US is highly addictive with numerous bubble creating feedback loops. The amount of engagement and time spent on the app is incredible.

The creators know this and provide an alternate version called Douyin used domestically which optimizes for educational content and has additional rules/safeguards

I don't want to harp on which country has which political motive, but it's pretty cut and dry to see that the service owners export something very different than what is presented domestically.

deeblering4··on What not to say to someone who has just been laid off
Personally I'd stop talking after "how are you holding up?" and just listen to them.
deeblering4··on Apple Rankings
Fuji rated far below Granny Smith? Horse food?? O H P L E A S E
deeblering4··on Clear snow the laziest way
This is like spending 40 hours automating a 5 minute manual process thats’s done once a week
deeblering4··on Ask HN: Where to buy old computers and consoles?
Maybe you’ll be the person to creat a store like that.

In my experience this stuff can be sourced on the cheap at tech flea markets, local classifieds and ebay, shopgoodwill, etc sites.

There are some stores that sell retro consoles along with comic books and stuff like that, although they tend to charge a premium

retro computers in a store I think is pretty rare, I haven't seen it personally

deeblering4··on CPSC calls for full recall of all Onewheel self-balancing electric skateboards
Whenever I ride downhill I’ll carve and powerslide to keep my speed within the range of how fast I can bail into a run essentially.

The few times I’ve spilled going faster than I could run have been ugly! Feet just couldn’t keep up and gone into a barely controlled roll.

I don’t know if I could ever feel comfortable consistently riding that fast

One time was caused by my dog chasing another dog while I was holding the leash standing on my board, that was hilariously painful

deeblering4··on Tell HN: As a dev, Slack has ruined my life
Set up for minimal notifications and when its time to focus close the app.
deeblering4··on CPSC calls for full recall of all Onewheel self-balancing electric skateboards
Very true. If you've never been able to cruise on a skateboard, you might not realize how much damage an unexpected pebble or sidewalk crack will do.

Riding is a constant balance of scanning the pavement for inconsistencies and making corrections to mitigate them. I don't know if that's even possible at 20+ mph.

deeblering4··on Ask HN: Alternative ways to make money with coding and system skills?
Thank you for lunar. I use it every day. The ability to rotate the inbuilt apple display has been a killer feature for me.

deeblering4··on Redfin cuts 13% of staff, shuts down home-flipping business
> Since you cannot predict the future I recommend not waiting “for prices to drop”.

This is questionable advice, and biased I guess.

It's quite easy to review historical sale data and see if a person is buying at a peak price. No it likely won't be the only or final peak, but it's a useful indicator.

> optimizing for price won’t make you happy.

On the other hand, not optimizing for price can make you significantly unhappy. Being immobilized due to an upside down mortgage, and stretching monthly finances can be really stressful.

deeblering4··on Modernizing my 1980s sound system
If you are in the apple ecosystem an airport express or apple tv is the way to go. Instant multi room hifi, and super cheap.

You can even redirect your laptop/system audio into it with a click in the sound menu

deeblering4··on Home truths about macOS
There is a complicating factor of 3rd party software bugs and compatibility when run under the latest macos release. It usually takes 6-12 months before those have been fully ironed out
deeblering4··on Twitter’s mass layoffs have begun
"richest man in the world" and "free speech advocate" are two ideologies in direct conflict with one another

substitute "richest" for "most powerful" and it gets worse

deeblering4··on One in eight U.S. adult deaths aged 20 to 64 involved too much alcohol
This is similar to a favorite argument from defenders of a certain US amendment
deeblering4··on One in eight U.S. adult deaths aged 20 to 64 involved too much alcohol
What age range would you classify as "adult"?
deeblering4··on Elon Musk owns Twitter: The story so far
What worries me is this — Outrage creates “engagement”.

A site like Twitter could easily capitalize on this and allow/promote outrage content in the near term, boosting their profits and causing long term side effects to societies as a whole.

deeblering4··on Flying the Unflyable Plane: The near crash of Air Astana flight 1388
I would think one of the pilots would stand behind the plane and verify control surfaces via radio, but I guess that's too time consuming or error prone?

Works fine for cars though. Drive through lube shops and states with safety inspections will perform indicator checks this way. If you push the left blinker and the right light starts flashing you've got a problem...

Hopefully by now the cockpit has access to external cameras to visualize what's happening behind them in real time

deeblering4··on Flying the Unflyable Plane: The near crash of Air Astana flight 1388
It seems color coded cables would be a nearly zero cost solution. I wonder why identical steel cables were preferred, and how this wasn't an issue in manufacturing?
