Hmmmm, Trump, who has Nukes, says that Iran, who doesn't have nukes, and was attacked by Israel who does have nukes, can't have nukes. Sounds legit 😬

The internet is specifically designed in such a way parts of it can be down without taking the whole network down.

But we use this inherently decentralised infrastructure to route all traffic through a handful of services, making the whole setup futile.

Sorry about the GCP outage. I had to plug in the vacuum. Things should be coming back up soon.

Hace 5 años se le compró al monstruo una laptop Acer aspire 5 A515 54. Anoche no quería encender, aunque sonaba el ventilador. La conectó y se fue a hacer otras cosas. A las 2 horas ya funcionaba sin embargo, me comentó que la batería ya no retiene la carga.

¿Recomendaciones de batería para reemplazarla?

In 1995 computing pioneer Niklaus Wirth wrote "A Plea for Lean Software". In 2024 it is entirely normal for simple software to be shipped as a 350MB package, or for it to have 1600 dependencies. In appreciation of Wirth's legacy, I wrote a 2024-era Plea for Lean Software, updated for today's computing horrors: https://berthub.eu/articles/posts/a-2024-plea-for-lean-software/

A 2024 Plea for Lean Software (with running code) - Bert Hubert's writings

This post is dedicated to the memory of Niklaus Wirth, a computing pioneer who passed away January 1st. In 1995 he wrote an influential article called “A Plea for Lean Software”, and in what follows, I try to make the same case nearly 30 years later, updated for today’s computing horrors. The really short version: the way we build/ship software these days is mostly ridiculous, leading to 350MB packages that draw graphs, and simple products importing 1600 dependencies of unknown provenance.

So Forbidden Planet is the first major film to have an all-electronic score. It was made by Bebe and Louis Barron who were not referred to as musicians so as not to offend the musicians' union and instead their score was described as "Electronic Tonalities". The sounds were created via circuits made by Louis. This was before commercial synthesizers existed. Early electronic music was mostly made with things like scientific test equipment, tone generators, home made circuits, or manipulated tape. #Monsterdon

There's a short documentary on their work available on Youtube

In synthesizers, a "patch" is kind of like a recipe for a sound or set of sounds. Synthesist Todd Barton coined a synth patch that many modular synthesists make at least once, named after the Krell in the film Forbidden Planet and trying to achieve the same vibe as those "electronic tonalities" by Louis and Bebe. There are many versions of the Krell Patch around. The patch consists of sources of random voltage and feedback loops

Krell Muzak the patch

This is merely a video of "the patch" so those of you interested can see the settings and blinking lights ;-) The audio on this video really sucks due…

anyway i thought this might be interesting but didn't want to clog the feed with synth nerdery during the movie

@forestine
Eye, for one, welcome synth nerdery any time and any place Eye can get some, forestine!

When I was studying electronic music in university we had a Buchla in the lab. It was amazing.

forestine May 25

@RobotDiver cooooool

Robot Diver May 25

An original too. It was so neat

forestine May 25

@RobotDiver a lot of schools have forgotten amazing synths hanging around in closets

Robot Diver May 25

It's true!

bfuhrman May 25

@forestine That’s awesome! I teach the Krell Patch every year in my synthesis/sound design course but had somehow never seen that doc!

Sam Levine May 25

@forestine Are we going to get the electronic music nerd special commentary tomorrow night? Sounds awesome.

Sam Levine May 25

@forestine pun not intended, but I saw it just as I hit reply so it's staying in there

forestine May 25

@SRLevine hm that was about all i have but maybe i could make a krell patch for the occasion

ben moretti May 25

@forestine fabulous soundtrack it is too

Chris Harris May 25

@forestine Because of that classification, the Barrons were cheated out of an Oscar nomination for their work. IMO they should have won by a mile (instead, Alfred Newman's "Love Is A Many-Splendored Thing" won the academy award that year).
