Bitwig Studio 6 details revealed, and editing gets a big boost

news.ycombinator.com Peter Kirn 2025-12-23 23:39:44

We get it. After years of DAWs leapfrogging in similar directions, the new generation of music tools made it easier to start projects, get inspiration, and improvise. But sometimes they played catchup on editing and automation. Bitwig Studio 6’s details are here, and it feels like editing automation, clips, and more are looking as fresh as those other tools, all in an updated UI. The beta is out now.

Red Programming Language Red is a programming language strongly inspired by Rebol, but with a broader field of usage thanks to its native-code compiler, from system programming to high-level scripting, while providing modern support for concurrency and multi-core CPUs. Red tackles the software building complexity using a DSL-oriented approach (we call them dialects) . The following dialects are built-in: Red/System: a C-level system programming language compiled to native code Parse: a power

Table of contents A little bit about Go I like Go. I actually don’t mind writing err != nil that much. Just set up a snippet and you’re good to Go. Although, I never really felt like I had a honeymoon period with Go. I learned the language, learned about channels, wrote a bunch of CRUDs and parsers and CLIs. It always felt strictly business. I thought it was because of where I am in my career. But I was wrong. Go is vanilla. It just werks. You build it, you ship it. The language is simple and

My phone is an ereader now I got a Kobo in 2016 after borrowing my mom's old one for a year before that. It probably is responsible for getting me reading again after high school. I used to be an avid reader, the sort of kid who would have to be told to put down the book and go to sleep, and who would then creep slowly to the bookshelf to pick it up again without arousing suspicion after the light had been turned out.

I have the best words. The man knows words. Says so right there.

Big Tech Companies in the US Have Been Told Not to Apply the Digital Services Act

wired.com Mila Fiordalisi 2025-12-28 15:00:00

Trouble is brewing for the Digital Services Act (DSA), the landmark European law governing big tech platforms. On August 21, the Federal Trade Commission (FTC), sent a scathing letter to a number of tech giants, including Google, Meta, Amazon, Microsoft, and Apple. The letter's subject: the European Digital Services Act cannot be applied if it jeopardizes freedom of expression and, above all, the safety of US citizens.

Executives had acquired the writer-director Robert Eggers’s stark, unsettling début, “The Witch,” at the Sundance Film Festival and wanted to make it their first release to open on thousands of screens. But both Eggers and Anya Taylor-Joy, who starred as a teen-ager tempted by unholy forces, were then unknown.

In CBC, ambiguity is a leadership failure, and credibility comes from delivering results — not titles. When things go wrong, it’s easy to point down the org chart, much harder to look up. In most organizations, accountability flows one way. Teams are held to deadlines, deliverables, and performance metrics, while leaders enjoy a looser standard — insulated by hi
