I don't know, the article mentions people who work two jobs having to live in an RV because they can't afford rent. As an external observer, it seems to me that in some parts of the US, inequality is so bad that homelessness is ea

Also, you correctly anticipated that Swift would become mainstream long before F#, which happened. Of course hindsight is 20/20, but this wasn't that obvious back in 2015. Your reasoning was sound.

Yes, true, my bad. I have a history of not understanding what the word "spiritual" means (I think I've read every possible explanation over the years, I still don't get it), so I usually tend to find a proxy for it when

Thanks for the added details. Yes I'm familiar with those early sequencers, I believe that the idea was that you would use them for a musical phrase and then put them together as a longer sequence on tape. Roughly similar to clip mode

I'm going to guess that parent meant "electronic music" rather than "digital music". I can see their point, at various times in the history of contemporary music, there has been a preconception that electronic music

This article is frustratingly light on details and it almost sounds like an ad. I wish we could swap the link for a better source because I would like to know more about this new engine.

Nothing that you said prevents vendor lock-in. If my private keys are stored are in a Secure Enclave, I can’t copy them to a FOSS client or a Yubikey. The list of members of the FIDO alliance is public. It includes several companies that mo

Some devices e.g. Apple have a Secure Enclave that is not user accessible, that's what I'm referring to, I'm not suggesting that they are stored on a server.

just because there are APIs that a FOSS client can call, that doesn't guarantee interoperabiltiy.
