In the end Q* is the AI that developed time travel in the future and came back as Q-Anon to spread misinformation on 4chan with the goal of destroy humanity in the most ironic way it could.

Not sure what you are talking about. To me it looks like you can just DL and install 9.0 or 10.0 community release. Am I missing something?

This could be very interesting material for surfaces in greenhouses where you want to have as much light as possible but during the summer don't want to have the heating effect.

Still would love to see some graphs of the populations and maybe also nitrogen.

Also I find this YT channel very helpful, the video about substractive synthesis is probably a good starting point: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JfJ9Dbjz6cs

I found this video very helpful, since it avoids a lot of the music theory lingo, but at the same time explains the basics very well (while cutting some corners...): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qoeHDN2FVTc

Just FYI: you can do that too with a VST fork of VCVRack called Cardinal: https://github.com/DISTRHO/Cardinal

Its all nice and dandy and I really appreciate that development of Thunderbird has awoken from its hiatus, but I really really wish they would fix the Maildir storage and make it standards compatible, so that one can use other mail tools like offlineimap (aka nbsync) or mu on the same Maildir store.

Please let form follow function...

Edit: some other user pointed out that Maildir support is on the roadmap: https://developer.thunderbird.net/planning/roadmap#maildir

Great news!!

Well said!!

Mostly Youtube.

There are some good channels about gear, like Loopop, BoBeats, Gabe Miller. I spent too much time there. Regarding making music I got more out of Andrew Huang, Red Means Recording, Adam Neely, David Bennett and Underdog Electronic Music School.

I watched Music Theory videos for a while because I wanted to understand it. That one Synth Seeker video in my previous post is the one where it clicked for me.

If you are lacking inspiration as a beginner, not knowing what to do sitting in front of your gear, you might want to recreate songs you like. Makes you listen and analyse what the creator did and train how to achive this on you own gear.

Some random advice in no particular order.

* Music production on the PC can be really cheap, almost for free, but it can be really overwhelming and hard to figure out where to start.

* The hardware synth (dawless) route can be a deep rabbit hole leading to GAS (gear aquisition syndrome). Resist.

* Music is more about intervals, the distances between notes, than about the notes themselves. Let this sink in.

* If I were to only buy one piece of gear at all, I'd buy the Synthstrom Deluge. Really immediate, easy to get into and still deep and powerful. This the device you want.

* If the Deluge is out of your budget, get a used Novation Circuit on Craigslist.

* The limitations hardware synths have, can be a challenge sparking creativity. Embrace the limitations.

* Layers.

* Don't fill up all the space. Deliberately leave some room.

* Record everything.

* There are no wrong notes. There is only tension and release. Tension can be good. It is interesting. Learn to build tension and how to release it. Practice.

* Don't overthink it. Practice. Better to knock out a bunch of shitty or mediocre tracks than thinking about that one smash hit you never make.

* Modular is a money grave. VCVRack is for free. Omri Cohen is your best friend in this realm. Bespoke synth gives you even more freedom.

* Music theory is helpful if you understand that it is only a lighthouse. You can still go whereever you want.

* Start here if you are a computer nerd: https://eev.ee/blog/2016/09/15/music-theory-for-nerds/

* Start here if you are afraid of Music theory: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qoeHDN2FVTc

Usually I have hard to solve ground loop noise issues with my Raspberry Pi based synths when used in combinaton with other synths. So while this is for sure a nice project, with all due respect and kudos, for those really only interested in the DX7 sound, it is probably better to look into the new Volka FM 2.

With very few exceptions there are two semesters per year at the Universities. I only know of the Bundeswehr University (German military university) that is organised in trimesters.

Edit: fixed typo

Same here.

Strongly eyeing NixOS and patiently awaiting real work experience from a co-worker who already did the plunge.

Trying to expain the joy of children is like recommending to read a book about the joy of swimming. You simply have to make the experience to understand. For long periods of my life I felt detached from the world and from myself. With our two children I feel a deep and satisfying attachment unlike any other feeling. Reading a lot about puppies in the comments. Would sacrifice our beloved cat without blinking for our children if it were neccessary. Sorry Merlin, you are not only not in the same league, you are not in the same universe. The whole thing about loosing your freedom when having kids is taking it the wrong way. Your life is not about your ego any more, not about your comforts, your desires. Its about your child. You become the path and the foundation. There is something deeply satisfying being there for them.

As a counterpoint to your sentiment: I am really glad Zotero devs are not spending any time on polishing the UX. I loathe modern user interfaces where a lot of functionality is hidden just for the looks.

Zotero does cover your use case very well and I don't actually see your criticism or UX concerns.

For easy importing of books and papers use the magic wand icon in the tool bar. This allows you to import metadata via ISBN and DOI. Use the FF plugin for importing web pages.

Tags allow you to cluster entries together.

On the right side it is possible to connect items that have a direct connection.

Double click on Pdfs to open them in a Pdf reader that can highlight and annotate. Save the file and use the Zotfile plugin to extract the annotation into notes.

Zotfile and Zutilo are recommended plugins.

"Zotfile allows automatic renaming of attachments, which includes moving the PDF file to a different folder. This means my zotero account still has plenty of free storage, while the space-consuming PDFs are stored in my university's effectively limitless cloud drive."

Wow, did not know that. Have to test this! Thank you!

This is great news! Thanks for the link!

Annotating Pdfs also works fine pre-beta with an external Pdf-Viewer that is capable of hilighting and adding comments, like for example Foxit or Pdf-Annotaor. Simply double click to open the Pdf in that viewer (has to be default app for file type), annotate, save file and back in Ztero it is possible to extract the annotations into notes with the Zotfile plugin.

If the title were written in Mandarin I would have no clue at all what this software is about.

I too was slightly disappointed to find in the repo that this version is for Mandarin, but the amount of life time lost by clicking on a Github link does not make me want to complain about it. I got over it pretty quickly.

Awesome, thank you!

Using and liking it also. It is just that I need it so rarely that I fall back into the RPN that I'm used to from Emacs calc. Speedcrunch does not have a RPN mode, does it? That would be splendid.

I'm using Emacs in a floating window under I3wm that I can toggle into the scrap buffer and back with a key binding. Doing the same with one terminal. This inspiration for this also came from the console in Quake.

Is there a way to start Emacs in full window calc mode?

Just as fossil fuel boilers are.

That's why you install them in the basement. If you can.

Maybe Watchy does what you want. No personal experience though. https://watchy.sqfmi.com/

Really wish the Python core developers would focus on this situation and almagate one official solution for installation, env and package management and one click distribution.

By the authors of Sqlite. High quality code that is probably going to be around and well maintained for long. Not unimportant when using it as a personal knowledge system.

Free as in free beer. There is a difference.

Isn't that slogan applied to the brain the catchphrase of Scientology?
