That’s not what the third continental congress that cobbled together our constitution said or thought. Your small confederacy was what the Articles of Confederation had wrought and it lasted all of a decade. States rapidly enacted laws agai

It’s not a drop-in replacement. MIDI is simple enough to trigger something with a single pin going high low. It’s basically a close to bare metal switching you can get, you can implement it on an arduino 8 bit MCU or worse. MIDI doesn’t eve

Any extreme software development ideology is at least partly wrong and lacking the introspection to see that fact. Real world dev shouldn’t be subject to any ideology, in my opinion. Scrum master just sounds like some bad management books

I disagree and think there are objective measures of cynicism in music today that are unprecedented. I agree that the paths you suggest are possible and that the tools available have never been so available. I see cultural problems as the r

Meh, I disagree. I’ve owned Bitwig for about a year now and there are some frustrations with it I didn’t have with Ableton. Nothing is perfect, neither is ahead of the other. If I wasn’t on Linux I would go back to Ableton, to be honest. Bi

Im seeing everyone stuck inside screens in consumer mode, and when playing instruments it’s for YouTube popularity contests doing cover songs or showing physical prowess and definitely copying some already cool thing, and definitely not sho

Might I suggest simply playing with a basic drumset in real life for a few hours? A kick snare and hihat are the principal components needed. I contend that you will organically discover a kind of conversational dialogue between the kick an

Rather odd thst a retrospective of Giorgio Moroder is mid credited to some masked 21st century bandits who basically sing “we have nothing original to offer the world” over and over in an autotuned vocoded voice

It’s that way most places I’ve lived. Sports, beer, motorcycles, tv, shopping… The online world brings one useful thing to the meat world: organization of meetups for folks interested in a bit more… take Jazz, for example… thoroughly possib

If it wasn’t for the fact M$ preloaded Windows on nearly all OEM computers due to some seriously mafia-esque business practices we wouldn’t have to consider that OS at all. Two can play at that metaphor game

Honestly, windows isn’t something I can take seriously in 2023. Developers should be using the same Linux distro their servers run, IMO. Does that sound harsh? So does dismissing a language due to “windows support”

The FFI wrapper for c libraries is great, and one can use imagemagick and pngquant and such via an IO buffer wrapping a call to a command. Crystal works great TODAY and will blow Ruby out of the water on performance. I simply can’t justify

I’m seeing plenty of that already.

That’s what they call a “puff piece” I found myself persuaded into the opposite point of view with the passage of each intellectually bankrupt paragraph. Congratulations, I’m thoroughly dissuaded of any such conceits by the end of reading t

He manages to hit many nails on the head simultaneously. Bravo. Great piece. Fits the contemporary conundrum to a T. Naysayers are doubtless temporarily embarrassed billionaires:)

There’s really a lot to be said for an easily readable relatively terse language that compiles to a tiny binary executable with low memory usage and can be run as a service, profiled, etc. We use it extensively in production. I really would

Yes, I see this whenever anyone posts something critical about someone’s cash pony, said pony’s owner and their pals gang up on the person. I don’t think it’s anything high level like y-combinator related, but rather low level sock puppetry

It’s a negative signal, when searching for a hiring manager, to find a prominent medium article by them in which they extol the virtue of them repeatedly using the same programming problem when hiring without exploring the impact and conseq

Plausible is polished looking but it’s major flaw is trying to backup its clickhouse and Postgres from the containers they run in that had me rolling my eyes. Containerized apps have drawbacks… Goatcounter ends up being more flexible, once
