Logic Pro, later the Alchemy synth, then TestFlight are the acquired products that come to mind. However, Buddybuild got acquired and shut down but hasn't resurfaced yet in full, i.e. as a CI tool.

Same here. Something still prevents me from taking Monzo and similar banks seriously and manage my entire income on their accounts, though can't say what it is. Maybe it's the "you can't possibly trust a bank that's

Might be that, also the computer itself might be another reason. But who cares? Why doesn't the monitor just re-establish the last known good connection quickly?

Because when you build a rocket there are a lot of unknowns for you that you'd be discovering and testing in the field. With software the only unknown is usually the market fit. There are rarely any unknowns in the implementation and t

There are things where it's not about learning as much as about the quality of code you produce within the same timeframe. My personal record of rewriting a big product was reducing a 150k LOC project to 7k lines with the same function

A bigger question for me is, why can't monitors boot instantly? So annoying that a monitor that went to sleep can sometimes take 10-20 seconds longer to wake up than the computer it is attached to.

Something I noticed a long time ago: I can listen to music and code at the same time, but I can't listen to music and write an email. Might be that music and speech are processed by the same area of the brain that can't multitask.

It's how the US patent system works. Basically it's almost like copyright: you can patent virtually anything that hasn't been patented yet until challenged in court as either trivial or not original (i.e. prior art exists). E

Judging from the comments, the article mostly resonates with people who already know how the codec works, but it doesn't seem to be very useful to engineers who, like me, want to understand it in a bit more technical detail. The author

Ever since we switched our app from ads to ad-free soft paywall with daily limited content, we get a lot of hate and negative reviews on the App Store from our users. Some even said quite directly "bring back the ads". This is so

The thing with tracks made "in a morning" (and that's exactly what low-effort means) is that most of the time it's a variation of something that worked well once in the past, and you can sell more of the same. There&#x27

I know, but it really depends on the style. I'd say low-effort art is usually less interesting and not so unique.

There's definitely more music produced in the world than films. This is due to the fact that music is so much more accessible, cheaper and easier to produce. Just look at the electronic music genre: today it takes one musician, a compu

by mojuba 8y ago
It is true that films are more expensive to produce, however: (a) there are fewer films produced every year than music albums, and therefore the revenue can be shared among fewer producers, (b) most expensive films are released to theatres

Yep, good underground techno mixes at 125 or higher bpm can give you the drive and concentration you need for extended periods of time. My coworkers usually get a slight shock when they learn what kind of music I have in my headphones durin

And the reason they are not making money (I'm guessing) is because older web sites are much less likely to use one of Google's spying plugs, such as Analytics or Fonts. Or the ads themselves after all.

That will likely include Google with their effort to use "AI" in data analysis and search.

Was my first thought too, but villages not growing into towns is also an indication of a different problem: it's a demographic disaster of declining birth rates.

Got it! This works on macOS. It encodes the same characters in hex UTF-8: while true; do printf "\xe2\x95\xb$((1 + ($RANDOM & 1)))"; done
