I've been going through Syntorial[1] which is an interactive synth tutorial. I'm about half-way through and I've found it very useful for understanding not just what each part of a synthesizer does to the sound, but how it changes the sound. Later on, as you learn multiple functions of the synth, you practice combining them to recreate sounds.
The software itself is a bit pricey and only runs on Mac or Windows but I've found it very helpful for getting an intuitive sense of what the different synth options actually change.
For those complaining about the appearance of the article: it looks like the original link [1] now redirects to the wired.com version but used to redirect to medium.com [2], at least that's what happens when I enter it into archive.org. Also, previous discussion [3].
One I know is Bitwig who recently changed their licensing model so you get 12 months updates with your perpetual license and can pay to continue receiving updates after 12 months[1].
Having used Django and that project (Horizon) extensively, I think that Horizon is not a pain to work on as a result of Django, it was just badly written.
The reason this law still exists is because blasphemy is included in the
Irish constitution and so to remove it would require a referendum which
"would rightly be seen as a time wasting and expensive exercise" [1];
the law is effectively a dead letter. With this becoming popular, we'll
probably get a referendum moved forward with the result being overwhelmingly in favour of removing it. The person who reported him claimed he/she was not offended[2]; it wouldn't surprise me if it was done just to highlight the silliness of the law.
Having switched to Kak recently, I've found this painful since I sometimes SSH into machines with only vi installed and so have to switch back and forth between kak and vi; it's a real headache...and a real shame since kak's selection method is much nicer IMO
I find that I get irritated at vi / vim for not being as nice as kak, but vi is still useable. The hjkl keys still work, :w, :q! and so on are still the same. I, i, O, o, P, and p still do the same thing. Basic movement is almost the same except you don't get selection with your movements. I tend to fall back on this common subset when I'm using vi. Marks are different in kak, so I don't think to use those in vi. Same thing with ex commands. I'm more likely to use sed rather than messing around with vi's ex commands now.
The thing that confuses me most since the switch is vim's visual selection mode. I used to be a really heavy user of visual selection mode (V and v), but since selection is at the core of what kak does, vim's way of doing it seems really clunky now.
If I'm going to be spending more than half an hour on a machine, I'll probably end up taking a minute to build kak on it.
If I can SSH to a remote host I can use Emacs TRAMP mode to edit files or I can mount the remote machine file system with SSHFS and change the file locally.
I think Kakoune is particularly interesting here because it integrates window splitting using tmux and a client-server model instead of re-implementing it which is what vim does. This is part of Kakoune's design philosophy: to be composable with other unix tools. Other examples of this are file browsing[1] and fuzzy finding[2] using ranger and fzf, or even just piping a selection to `fmt` to reformat a paragraph.
> For this reason, the model we describe below focuses only on one type of NSFW content: pornographic images.
It tries to detect a subset of pornography. Others may have different opinions, but personally I wouldn't relate porn to a category of "worst of humanity".
The list seems out of date, InfiniDB has been open-sourced since Calpont went bankrupt, and Greenplum is open-sourced under Apache 2 license[1]. There's also MariaDB Columnstore, a fork of InfiniDB[2].
