I found Moritz Klein's videos very interesting to help me understand practical aspects of circuit design as related to analog synthesizers:

I haven't watched any of the lectures, but there's also Georgia Tech's Analog Circuits for Music Synthesis https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLOunECWxELQS5bMdWo9Vh...

Interesting that you also used Elixir. It's also quite interesting contrasting your approach to OP's. Was there a specific reason that you chose Elixir?

mwlp · 2 years ago

Eh, Elixir has just become my go-to for personal projects. GenServers, pattern matching, releases, being able to pop a shell into my program, the beautiful colors of the IEx shell... I miss all these things when choosing other languages. I also planned on eventually integrating it with a chatbot of mine which is also written in Elixir.

Nice! I also control my lights using Elixir and a Hue bridge (through Home Assistant). https://github.com/Manwholikespie/mojodojo

I'm glad to see Dr. Wang is still doing well. I had the pleasure of interviewing him for my high school journalism class back in 2015. Cool to see how far we've come since then.

You can't receive iMessages via an API, except for "iMessage Business Chat" which can't be started by inputting a phone number and isn't all that widely used.

mwlp · 3 years ago

Not an API, but still doable to a certain scale. I've gotten image input to work with my bot. Apple once temporarily banned me for suspicious activity but after a quick call to support they lifted it. If I got more traffic maybe they'd ban it again, I'm not sure.

You can text !help to sue [at] robertism.com to demo if you're interested.

I find tenor's selection of gifs to be much better. I suspect Discord users are creating much of their content.

Featured in this list are two of my favorite fountain pens, the Pilot Vanishing Point and the Lamy 2000. Both of these in my collection write very well and both have unique and interesting designs.

The Pilot Vanishing Point doesn't need a cap, the nib is exposed and protected in a manner akin to clicking a ball point in and out. Mine works perfectly.

The Lamy 2000 is sleek and modern looking with a sophisticated design. It looks like a fountain pen that one might see in a Star Trek movie, but this model has been around since the mid 1960's. After half a century, the design is still the favorite of my collection. It operates flawlessly.

I own the other, less expensive fountain pens mentioned as well; they would be good choices too. I started out with some of these and I still like them, but it is easy to get hooked on buying more fountain pens and fancy inks.

My Pilot vanishing broke on me within about 2 months of use, sadly. I've since purchased a Sailor 1911 demonstrator which writes super smoothly. It's been my main pen for the past couple years, love it.

I added gpt to a bot of mine for Telegram and Discord a few weeks ago. I'm constantly amazed at how the littlest of things can spawn so many new opportunities for inside jokes and meta humor.

Notes is one of my favourite apps on iOS. I just realised recently I could drag-and-drop recordings from Voice Memos right inline into a note on iPad and it synced everywhere, with playback controls right under my text

It also looks nice, syncs and collaborates well. I have everything from my shopping lists, to scans of all my kids' artwork, to design documents for coding projects

I have to use OneNote at work and it is abysmal. It is plain how little care and love appears to go into that product

mwlp · 3 years ago

I can't name a single meaningful new feature that was added to OneNote in the past 8 years.
