Perhaps the statement should be, Safari is in no way a better browser than any competitor for developers .

True, though the cost of hardware isn't really that much, especially if you're ok with buying Behringer. A lot of the costs of studio setups used to be expensive mixers/reel to reel tape machines and that is certainly better

I did everything on the software side including extensive use of Max and Reaktor.

That’s part of it, though it can also be about having something that’s fixed rather than infinitely configureable and the mental muscle memory that results.

As someone that went the other way (100% software to mostly analogue modular) I’d have to disagree. Part of the pleasure of using analogue hardware synths is that you’re forced to treat them like a musical instrument, rather than like you’r

Yeah, on stage you're fighting with adrenaline, shitty monitoring, screaming audiences and it's usually a pale imitation of what happens during jamming/rehearsing where you actually develop the songs.

I think that's subjective. It probably doesn't sound like a live performance would, but it does probably reflect fairly well what you'd hear if you were in the room with them rehearsing. Listening to the album again now it&#x

Oh that's cool! I remember hearing about this mix at the time and wondering how it would sound. I much prefer it, way more in keeping with the indie 'live' vibe of the rest of the album and it feels darker/more menacing

What is true is that the amount of time people spend finessing their fictional online persona vs their boring reality is dramatically shifting, particularly for younger generations. It's now common for some to use stylized/beautif

Yes but if you're making a movie that costs $200m then it needs to target the average of the planets expectations for a movie to make money. Any divergence from that ends up confusing some of your target audience. Sure this will end up

If you are making a product that has an intended market of billions of people, it needs to have incredibly universal appeal. This is in direct opposition with producing a memorable piece of art.

I didn't start my first degree until I was 21. Life is long...

Yes, this is where I came from. I spent a great deal of time building stuff in Reaktor/Max and software is still useful for some things. However dedicated hardware (which granted is an expensive hobby) wins on intangibles like happy ac

So this is of course very cool, but I would say that one of the main appeals of a hardware modular is the tactile nature of it. It feels very different to experiment with vs plugging virtual cables in software.

Indeed, there are only two positions available on any given issue and we are all compelled to pick one.

I can't work in a co-working space since the projects I work on mean no-one outside of my company can see my screen.

At my work the people who moved far away to own a bigger house enjoy WFH - they have more space to isolate themselves during the working day, and a long commute they can skip. I have a short cycle into work which is one of the highlights of

I'm the same. I don't think people realise how much of motivation is socially derived from your peers who you like and respect.

For arranged meetings including the remote workers won't be a problem but there are many 'meetings' that happen in a work context where important information is exchanged that are informal that remote workers will miss out on

Completely agree. I'm actually working full time in the office just so I have a working environment that's actually optimised for focusing on work, even though it's primarily empty. There's no way I'd work for a com

Also many of the people mentioned are more ‘anti-west’ than ‘anti-war’. Not really questioning that this editor appears biased but let’s call it what it is, which is basic tribal left/right politics.

The IDFA warning is useful to the consumer. How is the business contract between Apple and the software developer of interest to the consumer?

I mean, as someone that's been running Linux full time at work for two decades I still don't have copy/paste working consistently between applications.

I have the opposite take. Having some work from home means those who can’t stand working that way such as myself are forced to completely restructure how we communicate and collaborate to enable those that want it. I’ve spoken to many other
