Somehow Cycle has been completely off my radar, I only came across it reading André's Reactive Programming with RxJS[1]. If you're looking to get going with RxJS in general I thoroughly recommend his book, there's also a whol

Sheet music evolved when it would be difficult to produce a different representation for each instrument. Now this can be automated it makes a lot of sense to produce specialised formats, such as tab for guitar or this for keyboard. As a no

Another ruby dev, back in my java days I used debuggers from jbuilder and eclipse. I now use pry and much prefer it as an experience. I found having everything at your fingertips rather than scattered around a gui far more efficient.

The first answer to the riddle is pretty obvious but I don't see how the second answer can be correct.

I've used some form of agile process on every project that I've ever worked. On every project we've shipped features at a good pace and managed to keep on top of test coverage and technical debt. There's obviously a lot

I think this could be the start of something amazing. A midi keyboard seems essential but if you could progressively introduce the different elements, using both hands, pressing enough keys to correspond to chords, different hand positions

People want to own less stuff, we move around more, do less DIY etc., having stuff is a PITA. I often want to rent things though, maybe I want a set of glasses for a big party or a steam cleaner to get the wine spill out that happened durin

This is the thing with Rothko, when you see them in books they do in fact just look like coloured splodges. That was very much my opinion of his work until I saw one in the flesh in the Whitechapel Gallery for the first time. It was just on
