Polyphonie | 7 years ago | on: The Roots of Techno (1994)
If you have access to BBC (UK), there's a 3 part series on the history of EDM. The first episode was shown last week and it touched- quite significantly- on the Detroit scene:

There's also the VPN option. PIA, for example, comes with its own system ad-blocker (MACE) although it's nowhere as good as Adguard Pro (which allows you to use custom DNS server).

To save PDF into Evernote on the Mac:
- if it's a file- use the share option (right click>Share>Evernote) - if it's in a browser- in Safari click on share (top right hand corner of the browser) > Evernote. If it's in Chrome, AFAIK, you have to use Evernote Web Clipper (extension) which is also available for Safari. - Of course, you can also copy/paste or drag and drop PDF into Evernote

Polyphonie | 10 years ago | on: Android Audio Latency
It probably provides the best insight to the problem Google engineers were and probably is still facing in regards to high performance audio on Android. Even when the latency is brought down, there's still other audio related issues/glitches (like buffer underruns).
Even now that Android is measurably better than it was previously, things like buffer underruns can still affect the overall usability. Increasing the buffer (to fix the underruns) render the device less suitable for such things as using it with external MIDI controller. You can see from Superpowered's audio latency measurements:

that the buffer for iOS is half that of the best Android (the dual-core Nexus 9)- 64 instead of 128 for Android.

Polyphonie | 10 years ago | on: Show HN: Boreal – A New iOS Client for Hacker News
Are you guys planning at implementing dark/night mode at some point? One of the thing that makes MiniHack (the other iOS HN client) a joy to use especially later on in the day is that the screen automagically turn dark according to the display brightness. May I suggest that instead of going with black background, use the grey similar to the one in Reeder:

And another thing- I can't seem to be able to post my comment from within the app. If this comment is posted it's because I've published it via the website:
