Nobody ever gets fired for choosing IBM.

Personally if I see Facebook on a resume, I will assume that they will be expensive

Tetris?

I stand corrected.

It's not very well written.

Does one thing and does it well

Yes. Nobody seems to care that the US interfered in the 2000 Russian election. Putin came to power as a result of the US interference, after blackmailing Boris Yeltsin and forcing him to step down. In effect, the US is responsible for putting Putin in power. The media demonizes Putin getting everybody to hate him, and the average person (including HN) goes along with it, because they don't know any better, even though HN considers itself to be smarter than the average person.

> But no new features. The major goals of Snow Leopard were to improve performance and reduce its memory footprint (by removing a lot of PPC code). What was nice about it, and what my point was, Apple had 2 years for bug fixes.

But there were major features, but they were not user facing. Snow Leopard introduced Grand Central Dispatch, improvements to Objective-C, things like that are major changes, more significant than simply changing the way the UI looks.

High Sierra introduced APFS, a major major change. Sierra was probably a better release as far as no new features, they fixed the USB stack they broke in El Capitan.

Mountain Lion introduced iCloud related stuff like notifications I think.

The releases that you believe are stable because of no new features, actually have major new features, but the guys writing the low level code are more talented than the guys writing the UI code, that's why those releases are more stable.

Sorry I should have said left-brain

What exactly did you think HN was about? HN leans heavily to the left. I think it's best to just observe these types of topics, and only participate in the technical topics.

Somehow they were better on the Genesis. NHL '94 for example

Elon, on the ocean

I prefer handshakes to make sure someone isn't carrying a knife or dagger. Covid is less of a worry.

No, CD quality means 44.1 kHz 16-bit. DVD quality would be 48 kHz. Higher sample rate does not necessary mean higher quality

You have your opinion, I have mine. I don't consider Stable Diffusion, Dalle, GPT etc to be particularly innovative, in terms of AI. I see them as dead-ends, they don't really work IMO, they don't lead anywhere, so they aren't very interesting to me.

Neural nets are a dead end IMO

Neural networks are a dead end. Anybody who has experience with them knows this.

I think what the poster was implying was that most people create simple models, because they have a linear thought process, but they call it a model to sound sophisticated.

Not very hard as long as you don't care about drawing window frames.

> Further, the windows largely maintained their spatial configuration as well as their relative sizes.

Does anybody know of an algorithm that will maintain spatial configuration and relative size? My favorite implementation of Expose was on Panther/Tiger

I'm currently using a rectangle packing algorithm, but it only maintains relative size, not the spatial configuration.

I don't understand the point you are making, but my point is that MIDI on old hardware works BETTER than on modern hardware. Whether or not the operating system is unsupported is irrelevant. The old hardware is not "outdated" in the sense that it WORKS BETTER.

But to respond to your second point, I believe that Apple has REMOVED apps from the App Store that were previously available to download. For example, I was not able to download on my old iPhone 4 the latest working GarageBand for that device, because it was deleted. This is not the only app that I have not been able to download, because it was REMOVED FROM THE APP STORE.

But I think the point you are missing is that if Apple decides that these devices are obsolete and they will not support them, they should be willing to at least release documentation that allows people to write/install whatever software they want on those devices.

Timing. Midi jitter and latency.

DOS/Windows 3.1 is still good for timing sensitive applications.

Nowadays MIDI interfaces are usually USB. But an ISA card or a parallel port will yield better results.

On modern computers, MIDI generally feels slightly off, and not as musical, but for the most part 'good enough' for the vast majority.

I do.

A 486 running Windows 3.1 with Cubase 1.0 exclusively for MIDI running in Standard Mode is far superior to any modern machine with respect to timing. Also, MIDI software hasn't evolved that much over the past couple decades.

Perhaps it even rivals an Atari ST

Do you have a unibrow by any chance?

Not if it's raining

Bitcoin. I knew about it from the very beginning.

Audio

The L in ALSA stands for Linux.

CoreAudio is much better.

Just look at the email headers to see which email it was sent from or if there was a reply-to.

If you are happy with the 12 mini, I think that disqualifies you as a die-hard SE fan.

If you don't care about streaming or bluetooth... I use an iPod nano 2nd gen. It could just be my imagination, but I feel like the audio quality is better than anything more 'modern'.

I still use it as Wifi-Calling support is better than on Android.

But my options are limited.

I hate the Home-Bar thing where you need to swipe.

I don't really like the haptic Home buttom, mechanical feels much nicer.

I don't like how the actual screen has rounded corners.

I don't like the notch.

I don't like the the really long aspect ratios.

If I settle for the SE 2nd/3rd generation, I'm not sure how long the support that screen size will last, mostly from 3rd party apps, already I have used apps where things are cut off because of the screen size and there's no way to access the contents.

I usually play Monopoly with Credit Default Swaps, and the ability to repackage properties into CDO's. When I play Risk, there's an added element of forex which makes the game more interesting. But all Risk games inevitably end up with someone saying "I'm not beaten yet. I still have armies in the Ukraine!"
