In fact, considering that unknown third-parties freely gather such similarity scores and correlate accounts, across different sites—by now it's a given that one's alt accounts have to adhere to different stylistic choices. Innit?

Here's a good recap of what sampling looked like in the time of Amiga: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i9MXYZh1jcs “Ta-da-da-da... aaaaaaand we're out of memory.” Likewise apparently DJ Shadow pulled off quite a f

I thought SunVox is closer to low-level-ish purely modular synths/effect graphs like Max/MSP and Pure Data.

There's another popular-ish paradigm: basically software modular synths, rather low-level so you create individual sounds by wiring the signals into graphs. Max/MSP and ‘Pure Data’ are the most famous in this style, they're o

To add to the neighbor comment: trackers were around since the late 80s or early 90s, popular on computers like Amiga, and the interface was suited for low-res or even text-mode graphics. E.g. there's a tracker for Gameboy, called ‘LSD

> creates a very low bar for third parties The bar for third parties was always nonexistent. That was precisely the advantage of Windows which permitted the boom of development for it in the 90s–2000s.

News about Mac are frequently separate from criticism about Mac. Perhaps because they arrive earlier. You might want to look specifically for reviews, opinions, and summaries of critical reaction. Maybe watch reviews on Youtube to get a fee

Mac UI elements don't move around much—afaik they use about the same positioning that was decided when OSX was made. So the looks change but the layout not so much, and thus apps don't break on updates. Big Sur is probably the big

Afaik the Win3 file dialog gets called up by some old apps that use old APIs. I think I even ran into it in Wine. The analog in Unix apps are GTK's file dialogs, which always look jarring and out-of-place anywhere other than Gnome (and

In Win7's control panel I counted ten different kinds of windows—in only MS' own sections, no third-parties (who tend to make the problem worse). Some of navigational widgets weren't used anywhere in the remainder of the OS.

Pretty sure the question is, where you would get detailed data on traffic conditions. This is a case where surveillance capitalism of Google/Yandex/etc. wins, as they just have millions of data points from the same people that are

OsmAnd also has good routing on phones. Possibly uses the algo from GraphHopper or OSRM, which are afaik go-to solutions for OSM routing. You might be interested in links from https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Routing

A correction: just checked startup time of PHP vs Perl on Mac, and Perl is a lot faster, so turns out it's not quite ‘on par’.

PHP long had decent performance, since version 4 iirc when it borrowed the bytecode approach from Perl and afterwards afaik was pretty much on par with it. Remember that even with FastCGI the vastly prevailing model of execution for PHP is

Bummer about Perl, because a stint with a slower machine taught me just how slow Python is. My Lua scripts were often done faster than Python starts up—even though the scripts were doing file i/o. So, for anything like personal product
