Secondly midi is used by professionals. Equipment manufacturers try hard not to fuck with them either and keep to the same standard for a very long time to keep customer loyalty. Like Canon who kept with the same lens mount and memory card standard for a decades, they dont change plugs and ports very often at all. The only outlier I see in this is Apple.
As someone who works in the professional music industry, manufacturers have no problem fucking with creators. The connections for MIDI have changed (more often than not, you'll see USB MIDI instead of traditional MIDI DINs), but the underlying protocol hasn't changed at all.
Mice have moved from trackballs to optical sensors primarily, keyboards have adopted USB as the standard connectivity, ASCII has evolved into UTF8 as you implied, but even beyond that, ASCII was last updated to the current ANSI standards in '86 as I recall (so damned close).
I don't have much MIDI cable oriented these days, believe it or not, CV is coming back stronger than MIDI right now.
MIDI hasn't been updated in over 20 years, and even then it was incremental type updates. The spec itself hasn't really changed since...1983? It's kind of impressive that the music industry is still entirely reliant on 35+ year old tech that hasn't changed, but at the same time, what modern tech hasn't evolved in that timeframe? We've even done away with BIOS at this point, I'm trying to think of something else that's deeply computer integrated and has remained largely unchanged in the past 20 years.
Likely an attempt to get better support for MIDI for Android as well as WebMIDI in Chrome. Apple and Microsoft are certainly involved in the MMA as well.
The number of people who know or care about Azimov is a tiny sliver of humanity. You and I know about it, but try your sister. Sinking a bunch of money producing this only to distribute on a network with subscriber share that rounds to zero seems predictive of where this project is heading.
Right, but a ton of other people know Opera, James Corden's Carpool Karaoke stuff, the guys from It's Always Sunny, etc.
Apple is more on the road to taking a middleman cut, they don't make the content nor do they make the device its consumed on, but they do make a percentage for matching the two up. Hmm, when I put it that way is Apple a pimp?
Actually, they're more on their way to being a content creator, coming from the middle man cut. They've got at least 30 projects announce that are exclusive to them, including an adaptation of Asimov's Foundation series and an unnamed (or no known name for yet) Ronald D. Moore series (as well as tons of other, non-scifi and sci-fi content). I'm not sure I want that stuff to work out or not...
Sort of. 600 MHz spectrum is being used for 5G as well with T-Mobile, but it'll be 100 Mbps max and it's the reason wireless mics and other devices that were operating in the 600 MHz band can't anymore. Mid band stuff from Sprint will be Massive MIMO...we'll see how well that and their beamforming works... And then there's AT&T and Verzion on mmWave which'll require "small cells" all over to work...so we'll see what happens.
...I've never seen one. Using the search on Amazon shows there are none in my area. Fortunately for me my expensive stuff can be received at work and things like the dog food that gets delivered regularly doesn't get stolen, but there's plenty of people in my city where that's not going to be...effective?
When was that? In 2016 I had issues like the web search results thing, but for at least the past year, the only problem I've had is sometimes it doesn't catch my comments because I have too many things going on on my phone (running too many apps/services on a 2 year old device). When I need it to work (driving) it's almost always been perfect.
It's also rather useful when I can't take my hands off of what I'm doing (cooking for example) to start timers or double check my memory on how many tablespoons are in a cup (16) or teaspoons in a tablespoon (3). In that application, it's often picking up the wake word from me while playing a video and has been able to do that without issue about 75% of the time.
In all seriousness, it's just politics as usual. The 'scary' government shutdown can go on for months for all I care.
Pretty obvious you don't work for the fed in a non-essential position. Nor do I, so it won't make much of a difference personally, but I'd imagine the general instability of not having a paycheck would absolutely suck.
I jumped ship to Funtoo on my latest Plex server. Funtoo's a little slower to get packages into Portage (example, Gentoo has dev-lang/mono-5.16.0.220, Funtoo is still only on dev-lang/mono-5.4.1.6), but not majorly detrimentally and (this is idle speculation) I assume that that is part of the reason my system hasn't broken nearly as often as it did under Gentoo (the other part is seemingly obvious, this is a much more specialized install than my last Gentoo install). If I need something more recent, I can plug the Gentoo overlay into portage, mask everything in it except the package I need, and rock until it's updated on Funtoo or just let the one Gentoo portage package stay (that's what I'm doing with Mono to keep Ombi/Sonarr/Radarr running properly).
More to the point of the original question, my buddy who sold me this server was using it for the same application, under Windows. I get almost thrice the bandwidth he did out of it.
...on the many ways Amazon Marketplace, the ecommerce giant's the company's third-party platform, sellers sabotage each other and defraud customers, and how Amazon is run its own government, so to speak -- with its own rules that its suppliers have no choice but to follow
I'm a little bewildered at this passage...because I just cannot understand it...was it supposed to read:
on the many ways the Amazon Marketplace (the ecommerce giant's third-party platform) sellers sabotage each other and defraud customers, and how Amazon is running its own government, so to speak -- with its own rules that its suppliers have no choice but to follow
or am I just insane? The choice to utilize commas turned this into an incoherent run on sentence...
Try looking at some numbers.
2015 Spending (pie graph breakdown)2018 Spending (no graph)...
So in order of problems: Social Security very very very very big problem, Medicare and Health system very very very big problem, Military big problem, Debt not so bad a little a few more % points than on my home load, everything else chump change.
So, let's use your hypothetical situation on my home budget. My mortgage is the single largest cost I have month to month. Based on your logic, I should cut funds to that in order to free up funds for other more fun things that I would refer to as discretionary. Somehow I don't the bank would let me live in my house very long if I wasn't paying my mortgage...
There's a reason that no one talks about the mandatory spending when talking about budgets, they're systems that (in theory) cannot be taken away from (but it doesn't stop the politicians from finding creative ways to "borrow" from those funds with no intention of paying back...). The military is the single greatest discretionary spending situation. And, with military budgets that grow every year, and situations where branches are told "If you don't use it, you lose" when it comes to budgets, you better believe there's superfluous spending going on. Hell, the company I work for gets inundated by military branches this time of year because they need to use up the last of their budgets.
Going back to my home budget, if I'm trying to cut spending, I look at my discretionary purchases and my budget there and realize, I don't need to eat out 4 times a week and I can save about $40 a week by cutting that back to once a week. Meanwhile, my mortgage still gets paid the same amount and I have more money to spend on computer parts that I need to upgrade.
Now what I fear is a lot of the US Defecate spending is not going to net benefit growth.
I believe the grand parent was trying to be humorous and point out that the word you're using is defecate, a word meaning expel feces from one's body, not deficit, a word meaning the amount of which something (typically money) is too small.

Is that better or worse than turning you on?
Definitely not getting anything, but I'm browsing on a computer...
Yeah, these days the MIDI-USB adapters you get for around $30 are reliable, anything cheaper, stay away.

Anybody remember MIDI adapters for sound card joystick ports? I have one of those somewhere. Worked good.
Pretty sure I still have two or three in my basement.

Most of the ways I've seen iTunes gift cards that cheap have Netflix gift cards similarly priced...
Yeah, they do, but at twice the cost and for no good reason.
I thought twice the cost was the good reason for Apple pricing?

It would've been nice if they put a Raspberry Pi with Mycroft in this as well. I'd actually be interested in the results of that one.

So you're saying the US needs to retire?
I believe it was Gnome Image Manipulation Program, though I don't know if that was the original name or a backronym.
Close, General Image Manipulation Program per the original readme, later GNU Image Manipulation Program.
