Of course, some instruments require a lot of manual tweaking during fabrication and/or are too niche for manufacturers to invest in proper automation. Then there's the price of some raw materials (esp. wood and metal) which drives

Ah, the good old argument from authority fallacy? ;) Running a music store means you'll want to sell the most expensive stuff with the higher margins so you have every incentive to convince people cheap stuff is crap. Why should I trus

There will always be crap sold to people who want a cheap gift or decorative item. But once you shop just a bit above the bottom price there are a surprising amount of decent instruments to be found.

I think musical instruments, especially digital ones like synthesizers or effects but also guitars and other acoustic instruments, have become a lot more affordable the last decade without severely impacting quality. You don't really n

It would be more efficient for travelers, but not really from a systems point of view. The Netherlands is densely populated and its railways are amond the busiest in Europe. If twice as many people took the train it would be impossible to h

That's like saying Gavrilo Princip started World war 1. Of course he played a part but the people owning media and influencing the public debate for their own political goals play a much bigger part.

It's coming to an end due to the proliferation of cheap ARM boards. I think the Korg Kronos is the last holdout using a standard x86 PC mainboard now.

We had that in the 90's with Java. Why would this approach succeed today?

They didn't do that last time I looked. You can only trade in your perpetual license for a discounted 'upgrade' to the subscription version.

I'd be disappointed if it didn't. My Bosch is running for about 13 years right now and just as well as when I bought it. Maybe it helps I'm in the EU and there's a law stating you have right of compensation if it dies wi

Test Drive 2 (and 1) used a pseudo-3D renderer with scaled sprites (see https://www.mobygames.com/game/2107/the-duel-test-drive-ii/s... ) TD3 used a 'real' 3D engine, but as a result it needed a beef

Yeah, and still it's quite an enjoyable experience. I didn't lose a single fight because the rendering couldn't keep up. I don't subscribe to the opinion games have to run a stable 60fps to be enjoyable.

A lot of de Java standard library is actually quite nice to program with. Of course there are less good parts, but Java is committed to compatibility so you can choose between dealing with an old design versus continually refactoring code t

Java EE practically reinvented itself over the last 20 years using the more popular frameworks as inspiration for better or worse. Even then, you were never forced to use Java EE if you didn't need it.

Just like the mouse that has to be polled 100 times per second or display that is composited from all window buffers at least 60 times per second. It might really be negligible in the grand scheme of things and not worth optimizing for.

Nice. Like watching clockwork internals. Came across a similar engine for another text based adventure a while ago: https://github.com/efa/Wilderland
