That is a blatant distortion of the truth. They have invested Nothing in New Designs, nothing For The Future, and I find your defense of Behringer utterly disingenuous. Legacy: what legacy of designs, ORIGINAL DESIGNS, has Behringer left us

Tell that to Curtis widow. The goal of this is not magnanimity but to drive other synth makers to bankruptcy with cheap zero R&D synths. I am not speaking out of my behind here. If Behringer succeeds, the world of music gear LOSES. If

It’s absolutely unethical when your obvious goal is to loss-lead everyone else into either bankruptcy or selling out. I am a consumer of music gear. Behringer actively harms my future ability to obtain new technologies because they kill tho

It’s not gatekeeping in any sense. Technical skills are required to do technical jobs, and this person asked for any criticism or feedback given by posting a public blog that has, for some bizarre reason, gotten to the front page of hacker

It’s sad how the entire music industry of actual innovators gets scooped up by conglomerates like InMusic. What is worse, however, is the blatant rip-off business plan of Behringer. They went so far as to buy the chip company CoolAudio to

How come you get a downvote button? I’ve never seen one here. This place has an in group, I see… serves me right for typing comments on a VC blog

I cannot think of more childish folks than adults adulting because their age number demands it. When society itself is hellbent on turning up the volume on consumerism that is already destroying the conditions for life on earth, I say unto

Not only that, half this supposedly necessary tech actually slows you down: containers and kubernetes, websockets galore, clients like giant barnacles on your server, then we get these best practices that weren’t thought out well: sessions,

That might be a reflection (no pun intended) of non-code reality being proportionally larger than the coding realities across our industry. Stuff that used to work semi ok with a handful of nerds becomes unwieldy when saddled with non tech

K8s and the like will never replace coding for actual computers nor do they replace the many layers they sit upon. Networking isn’t well thought out, and we generally need to stop propagating the idea that this is the future of application

I would argue that unnecessary complexity results in: 1) opaque functionality 2) compounded vulnerabilities Owning one feature vs owning two features and having exponentially more difficulty in designing systems to accommodate both possibly

First time I’ve ever heard such a strange story. Do you have any evidence for your sweeping radical claims? All other evidence I’ve heard of points to the USA being the only major country without public healthcare and price controls in plac

Also, as a person who has experienced xenophobia in over 50 nations I can tell you that it’s never the best and brightest who stayed in their home town and defend it against outsiders via physical violence and harassment. I have a metal pla

I think you’ve nailed the tragedy of the 21st in a nutshell: call oreilly lol… which animal do you want on your cover? Humanity goes extinct due to an inability to switch off the tribalism us-vs-them mechanism. Petty nationalism steals huma

Single use plastics and plastic packaging need to be banned worldwide for most use cases, instead there’s more and more plastic and the packaging is getting thicker and more elaborate… I can already hear the chorus of “but”… and this is why

Except this forks a language and tools, a language whose premise is a single opinionated path to nearly everything, aka the opposite of C++ This drama has already damaged Rust and it needs to be addressed ASAP

No mention of the fact that you cherry picked virtual machine languages, dynamic interpreted languages that don’t even exist without a garbage collector, a system memory allocator, and more, all written in C,C++, or Rust?

by notmypenguin 3y ago
Go is garbage collected so it’s unsuitable for the domain. Rust isn’t going away, no matter how many social snafus the steerage folks create. I wish they would lay off the power tripper stuff, but that’s what you get at this level/size

War and nationalism haven’t ceased, nor have the emotional levers you speak of gone away, what has happened is that folks are comfortable behaving differently online than they would face to face

Critical thinking skills independently from the subjects they may arise from. It’s not a trendy topic of argument, but I will also propose that modern English speakers have no notion of their own language without a prerequisite in Latin, or

What’s with the human centric attitude? Do we own this planet or are we one mammal species on it currently driving the other species towards mass extinction?

Easy there, cowboy, he’s had incredible success whipping his fans into frothing frenzies of self congratulatory adulation that would make a seesaw get dizzy. No other boss person since the mighty Steve has had this effect on the mass psyche

Citation needed… lol But seriously, that’s kinda silly to propose as a motive for a software project requiring significant effort.

A) key-value is MUCH simpler to implement than an RDBMS, code wise. It’s arguably more boring and less theoretical than indices on PG or foreign key constraints B) there’s a lot of tricky stuff with indices on PG and you generally need a DB
