That table image is... horribly honest? I'm a bit shocked they used it in a blog post. It's really, really bad

I've been doing some analog PCB layouts for the first time recently, it's the one thing I wish there were better resources on (going from schematic to layout). Even the best YouTube vids are mostly simple digital stuff with very few components.

Nice work! Perhaps this could interest users of norns[1], many of which are active on the lines[2] message board.

Emby is close, it missed some video features last I checked but it may be good enough for you.

While not perfect, I really liked Will Pirkle’s book[1]. It describes the popular ABIs and has great intro to DSP. I would say the downsides are that the description of various interfaces takes up too many pages and that the book uses his own framework ASPiK for cross-compatability, but it’s easy enough to convert to a more popular framework like JUCE if needed.

Can anyone link to or explain the problem? I'm in the market for a new display and didn't quite get the README explanation.
yots | 5 years ago | on: Making our new homepage fast and performant
I'm using a Mid-2015 MacBook Pro and it's far from performant for me. Assuming it's mostly new users who see the homepage page, do they assume their new users have high-end computers?

yots | 5 years ago | on: Facebook executives shut down efforts to make the site less divisive
It’s really not as sophisticated, but these guys[1] created an extension that in addition to their main objective of analyzing Facebook’s algorithm also offers a way to create your own Facebook feed. If I got it right, they analyze posts their users see, categorize them by topic and then let you create your own RSS feed with only the topics you want to see.
It’s not clear to me whether you may see posts collected by other users or only ones from your own feed and it seems highly experimental.

A few years ago I was considering applying for a job at FB. The very first stage was linking your FB account. No thanks.

FYI: The extension offers many private groups that I can't join without approval and that seems to disrupt the flow of the extensions.

Yes, to some extent people should be worried about apps potentially containing exploits, but then again they should be more worried about 0-days than a known vulnerability.

Can anyone explain iOS “automatic” updates? They never seem to work for me.
yots | 6 years ago | on: FAA Finds New Risk on 737 Max, Orders Boeing to Make Changes
I may not be interpreting this right, but does that imply they already have the planes, which will now stay in storage until 2025 waiting for all issues to be resolved?
If that's correct, aren't there possible risks for flying a plane that had such a long period of inactivity?

Because it's a charity drive. It creates a sense of urgency and people are more likely to donate

Hey, I think I finally understood and it seems worth checking out, but I couldn't find a description of what is it you actually do anywhere on the site. I think the homepage should include a quick description and example if you want to draw people's attention.

Were you (or anyone) able to change the brush size? (I'm pretty sure it used to be + on Windows, but it's been a while)
