Slightly O/T but am I the only person sick of seeing the word “every“ followed by the word “programmer”? I realise this might be because I’m a very experienced developer, and these things are not interesting to me, but it always seems

It’s not just what the phones give us (in terms of connectivity), it seems we’re addicted to the light itself (same with TV before). Presumably, this is some primal sitting-round-the-fire type impulse.

Category Theory for Programmers [1] covers monoids (and other concepts). There’s a YouTube series of lectures by Bartosz Milewski too. To get a complete intuition spending some time learning Haskell will also help. [1] https://g

> Why do you want/need a PCI based card? Because I don’t know of any USB device that can do 96 channels of pro IO. Also, it always seemed preferable to me to avoid the issue of ‘yet another wire’ and ‘yet another source of latency’.

O/T: Can anyone recommend a decent PCI based pro sound card with Linux (Mint, Ubuntu, Debian) support? I’m trying to de-Windows myself, but my pro-audio setup is the gap I can’t seem to fill. I currently have an RME HDSPe MADI FX [1] w

In a similar vein Hauschka [1] and his prepared piano is always inspiring. Really great live. My favourite album of his: [2] [1] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HYsvlJgtAgY [2] https://www.youtube.com/watch
