I don't think there's much case for a lawsuit. The mall has a right to kick you out for doing so but once it's done there's not much legal recourse in the U.S.

Obviously the most exploitative thing is doing it for the clicks, but none of this has ever felt "sweet" or "positive" or whatever other guise they're presented as. I wonder who finds this type of content genuinely

I think we're saying the same thing. I wasn't suggesting any of these approaches offered some loophole that replicated FM, but that these manufacturers decided there's enough synthesis techniques that come close in sound that

Pardon my ignorance but isn't dynamo just a document store itself? Most storage engines are designed and optimized for RDBs, so I'd expect inefficiency here unless there's a layer between them.

I think it's a stretch to call it an urban legend. Casio was uninterested in licensing FM and developed a similar algorithm/approach. As far as I know Casio wasn't licensing FM throughout the 80s but still wanted to be comp

My Honda dealer back when I had crummy credit "included" a gps but it was never explained why and I tried to say I wasn't really interested. Somehow I ended up agreeing, likely due to some interest rate bait and switch as ref

Everyone worked around FM patents by creating "new" synthesis processes that were in effect FM.

This is it. There are a lot of training wheels. Things break from version to version. Bugs sometimes take a very long time to be addressed. It works for getting an app up and running but you'll grow out of it. For this particular libra

"if you're rude to me I'm going to publicly lambast you" If it were really "take it or leave it," I'm sorry but that's just not a great attitude. I don't think that's what he was saying.

I really don't think that's the intended message. At least I hope not.

In the sense that it goes from private communication to public.

I don't begrudge someone for emailing that response. But to me putting it on the release page sends a different message to my users.

You read this right. There's no benefit to publicly chastising a user - even a rude one. If I'm a user who reads this I'm extremely unlikely to ever offer feedback in even the nicest possible tone. I think the right move is t

by nkozyra 4y ago
My point was that if I'm a user with feedback should I share it if there's a chance I'm going to be put to task publicly for doing so? Am I getting a receptive audience?

I think this reaction is natural when you feel like you're doing something for others but it never comes out feeling right. First, even when we do something for "free" we're usually deriving some value out of it. We enjo

It's nice having it all together, but if you're used to VSCode or Jetbrains it's somewhat of a frustrating experience. Little things like code completion, a weird run window, errors that aren't caught until running, etc.
