sitting here trying to puzzle out how log pots work out in terms of voltage if you, say, apply 0 and 10V to each side pin and measure the middle pin, for various values of pots. what log base/scale do they use?

to a mentally healthy person, a failing machine is a problem.

to a young computer geek, it's an exciting learning opportunity.

in theory, any experienced senior developer ought to be able to do a decent job as a logistics expert, because the problems of modern networked multi-user computer systems resemble those of a logistics network.

a fair review of Dell XPS vs MacBook

this is a pretty fair comparison because they're in the same premium price segment, and the differences they point out are true in my experience.

sign that a piece of audio software is designed for amateurs: the volume sliders go from 0 to 100.

red flag that it was designed *by* amateurs: when the volume set to 50%, the audio amplitude is 50% and setting low volumes is difficult, because they failed to use a logarithmic scale for the slider.

it's always mildly infuriating to watch computer programmers misunderstand how PC audio works because they have never looked at a block diagram of the internals of a sound card, nor have they ever used any professional audio software or equipment to give them an idea of what a good audio workflow looks like. audio code is a bit of a specialist subfield and i'm tempted to say it's best left to the experts, because shitty audio software is far too common.

if i wanted a giant project that would take years to finish: make something like Logic Pro X with all its bundled plugins and samples, all perfectly integrated and working flawlessly, except for Linux

yup

if your favourite Linux distribution isn't the one everyone's using, then fucking figure out why and fix it. until then, stop bitching about Ubuntu. #rant
