I’m curious to hear the Apple headphones. There aren’t many studio quality headphones with ANC because studio headphones are usually open back, and it makes little sense to put ANC in open back headphones. I reserve judgement but don’t thin

As optimistic I am about crypto, I think this type of modelling (BTC at 300k in a year) is taking the price action around previous Bitcoin cycles and naively extrapolating it into the future. I think in reality there are many holders who wo

you can set custom grids in Figma (like a 4px grid for instance), and you use workaround like spacer elements, and you can setup margins/padding with auto-layout for your components, but yeah there aren't reusable classes in Figma

The same way as iOS Garageband handles AUv3 now, I assume. AUv3 plugins are meant to be able to run on both MacOS and iOS in the near future (this has caused some concern in the plugin dev community, because of different pricing models). Ju

iOS does support audio/synth plugins in the form of AUv3, it's a little bit clunky but works. I work primarily with Logic (been using it for 20 years) but the form factor of an iPad is pretty nice - it fits perfectly on music stan

AFAIK the way soluble ACE2 therapy works is you flood the body with "dummy" targets for SARS-CoV-2 to bind to instead of real cells, to slow down the virus infecting more and more cells. As long as the spike of the new mink strain
