> created modes of expression that definitely solve this problem.

I certainly don’t agree with this as a musician who has tried most of these attempts by electronic music manufacturers.

The idea is that there’s practices that are good for society that fall outside of market value, and these practices should be protected or they die. Some things cannot survive in the market.

Insane brutality has happened on both sides. However the statistical numbers are different, before oct 7 and after, one side has been much more successful in its brutalization of the other.

You should look into the accounts of doctors who are not allowed to take in baby food. Israeli mobs destroying aid trucks. Israeli soldiers gloating about killing children.

While Hamas has done atrocities, this does not allow atrocities to be committed in response. Especially by an occupying power that controls every variable in the environment.

New comment by nikodotio in "A bug saved the company"

nikodotio — Tue, 26 Aug 2025 09:54:14 +0000

My experience as a musician and huge linux nerd is: sure, it was all free, and very powerful, on linux, but I never actually made music because of the setup times, learning, hacking, and refining the systems.

Since getting a mac and paying for tools like this, the immediacy of being productive has caused me to actually make music.

it's the same with OBS - wow, what a piece of software. I spent a week going through and configuring it. They really thought of everything. Audio Hijack solved my problem in 30 seconds and made sense for my use case while doing it.

On the drums: Not entirely, I find folk tradition choral music (without drums) wonderful, but also struggle with classical and church choral.

Among other things, but even with a “latest change wins” method you still have to make sure all transactions arrive, data doesn’t stay out of synch forever, and other challenges.

ElectricSql, instantdb, rxdb, jazz.tools, are some of the things I’ve been looking into to make these tasks easier.

There’s a whole world of syncing databases when they’re offline and then reconnect. Local first. If your websocket connection is offline you have to store the incremental changes to your data and send them later on reconnect. This gets complex fast.

A lot of these tools (and what the author wrote) offer toolkits to do this well, not having to implement and track all these changes in state manually.

In this case the author is running SQLite in the browser, and that syncs to SQLite on the server.

nikodotio — Sun, 17 Aug 2025 07:48:02 +0000

I love the Dokploy promise but I’ve come across some glaring bugs and inconsistencies that have made living with it difficult. I’ve had to consult its source code because if it’s lack of documentation in a few instances.

Support, even for paying customers, is lacking, too.

Definitely cheering its development on, though, because the promise is wonderful.

During war seems like the right time to institute martial law. Their legal system allows for the pausing of elections during a war.

Possibly there isn’t a critique of his behavior because there isn’t a critique to be made: from a website like hacker news where every reasonable position is usually represented, it should tell you something that this is unanimous.

I accept that they will look different but function consistently and in line with the client device - when that can be made as a design decision.

I use all of them pretty consistently! I try not to have them do magic, but using native date pickers and dropdowns and selects saves so much time and headache - and they work consistently.
