Max/MSP (or Pure Data) ended up being a good middle ground for me. With that said, it's easy to get lost in the coding and forget to make music, if that is the ultimate goal. I also found that more complex patches trend towards ap

Interesting, I'd be curious to read a technical analysis of the differences. DIN provides by far the tightest sync we've ever seen in hardware, so I question the idea that lag and latency are a defining feature of the protocol.

If corrugated metal were not associated with shacks, would it be so concerning? Most materials can look good with the right execution. The difference comes from form and detailing. "Classical" architecture is (thankfully) dead and

Why would anyone use SuperCollider or a computer music framework to make something resembling a pop song?

Generative subterfuge aside, the information being "uncovered" through copy-and-paste could have been modified and we would never know. I'm leaning towards negligence though.

It's not going away, but I remain hopeful it will be refined. macOS is the real casualty this upgrade cycle—iOS has problems but isn't fundamentally broken.

Your colleague is wrong and this is a tired debate, but neither are easy. Engineering deals mostly with objective outcomes. Space shuttle designers have a clear goal and measurable performance metrics. The problems are extremely hard but th

Failed classes are not specific enough; it could simply be an IQ-related or something else entirely. Many people with ADHD-related symptoms are able to pass courses, especially pre-college, and sometimes with perfect grades. Their personal

The United States needs to establish a crypto reserve to prepare for a permanent Martian settlement with an independent economy 100 years from now? It's difficult to think of something less relevant to the well-being of the American pu

Despite minor grievances (primarily UI related, and likely inconsequential to others), I also prefer Sequoia over previous iterations. The future of mac/iOS is visible on the horizon and I expect it to roll out in a steady series of we

Thank you for linking to this – before noticing the date, I was initially disappointed to see the gifs were merely canonical examples and assumed the project was new/minor or abandoned. As caretakers of the most comprehensive world dat

Apologies for the rambling post, but hopefully it sheds some light on the continued existence of the site: Gaia has been a bizarre and largely unwelcome fixture in my life for almost 20 years. It taught me basic market fundamentals (and led

One solution would be to nest sub-tasks into items in the MAYBE column, which could increase the chances of the larger task being accomplished/initiated. If a MAYBE task is insurmountable or too complicated for a single session, it sho

Apple's strategy suddenly became clear to me while watching the Quest 3 promo video: they are delivering a platform, xrOS – an operating system – and not simply a high-spec VR headset. The strength of the ecosystem will encourage it to

Can you unpack your reasoning here? The likelihood of civilizations occurring/existing in parallel leads me to a similar conclusion.
