@anildash Prince q 4 u: Know any lore around P and Bernie Grundman? BG mastered all of P's albums, all of The Time’s, Morris Day solo, Sheila E, even Wendy and Lisa (and BG was hard to book in the 80s).

I fell down the BG rabbit hole because I got an original pressing of The Time debut for $7 and it sounded so good, I got weak kneed.I found a Prince podcast that interviews BG, and it's v v good, but ironically doesn't talk all that much about P and nothing about proteges. Whaddya know, oracle?

The gaming industry slowdown continues. Roblox stock is down -30% in pre-market trading after missing Q1 expectations ($801M in revenue vs $918M expected) and cutting revenue estimates for the year from $4.28B to $4.1B.

The gaming industry is suffering from a post-COVID & post-ATT hangover. There are too many sources of entertainment competing for people’s attention and acquiring new mobile users is worse now than it was a few years ago thanks to Apple’s ATT.

I wrote about Apple's hilariously bad new iPad ad, in which the company somehow managed to cast itself as the villain. https://www.washingtonpost.com/technology/2024/05/08/apple-ipad-ad-tim-cook-backlash/

Rescued broken cassette...

Genesis - Wembley Stadium 1987. BBC Radio 1 live broadcast, includes section 'missing' from official sources.

There's a slight break during In The Cage as I turned the tape over and the recording finishes during Second Home By The Sea.

There's a chance I find the last 30 mins on another tape but unlikely.

Maybe the 60s medley is best left forgotten...

Feel free to DL or make disparaging comments about :80spc:

I've been a HN user for like 15 years and have never gotten an email like this before.

Actually pretty nice if you think about it.

folks, @whit537 is at it again and just dropped a barn burner about the #CRA, #OSS Stewards, Borland Turbo Pascal, and uh, green onions. (just read it, I promise it all comes together)

I never liked Telegram, but this is shocking. I guess they’ve now stepped outside the boundaries of software anyone should ever use for anything.

Got surprisingly misty-eyed not by the ending of Curb Your Enthusiasm itself, but by the fact that the show has actually come to a close. It seemed like it’s always been around and that it will be around forever.

You know those cookie-related pop-ups you see on so many websites? I always click on "deny all" or the equivalent. But apparently, on many sites, the cookies will get used anyway.

no one should ever use a computer for anything in the arts - I’m not even talking about cameras and “CGI”, I mean mobile phones, word processors for scripts, laptops, budget spreadsheets, calculators and the like - it’s just cheating

Has anyone doing Vision Pro dev with a multi-window app figured out how to change the position of the Persona “camera” so that one could, say, appear to be looking forward while looking at different windows?
