The word "history" is not a synonym for "summary" or "overview." Not a good look for an ad for a product that deals in the nuance of language.

I mean it sounds like you have an issue with batch compilers more than "text based languages." If you didn't toss out the AST you'd have to serialize it (now you're compiling to two targets at once), and when you wa

It's kind of hard to make a sweeping statement like that. We're seeing costs and benefits of increased productivity/efficiency. My diet consists of fruits and vegetables that my parents could only buy a few times a year when

I feel like bemoaning sub-replacement rate fertility doesn't take into account the exponential growth of automation in post-industrialized economies and how little labor actually needs to be done to maintain the same productivity, let

Every single field has figured out - sometimes forcefully - how to minimize harm to consumers. From a properly grounded toaster to a bridge, other industries manage to build complex things that don't hurt people. The nature of the beas

Stop thinking of the US as a monolith, we have a shared language and history and some amount of shared culture but we're stratified socially, politically, and geographically. There are plenty of places in Europe you can write the same

They say Gibson puts the "break" in "break angle" But personally I'm just not a fan of the shorter scale lengths and thick gloss finishes on most Gibsons, I'm personally a fan of thinner maple necks and will sa

I always heard that the '59s were prized for their PAFs [0] and the aged mahogany, but I've only ever heard one on a record and never played one myself. We've come a long way since 1959 in terms of neck dimensions/radii

The big win is distributed audio networks. For example an esports match might have play-by-play and commentary in 20 languages, in traditional sportscasting they fly those folks out on location. What they do for League of Legends (and a lot

It's not DoA, the tech has been in production for close to 15 years. If you've been to Disneyland you've heard audio broadcast over IP, or watched a match of League of Legends (or virtually anything that comes out of a stadiu

I think they all failed for the same reason, video is expensive and the markets can't pick a winner when the game can't be won without money. But if the Chinese government wants to prop up TikTok and pick them as the winner, they

Technically, probably very little. Practically I think it's more diverse content and easier access to other people/fame/glamour for kids than Instagram, Snapchat, or even YouTube/Twitch/etc, since those platforms ha

The problem is deeper than multichannel support, which is poorly supported everywhere except Pro Tools. Even that is fairly deep, Nuendo relies on VST3's model of channel set configuration which is incapable of representing the kinds o

No, not correct. It's less of a debt and more of a duty, and less of an apology than an acknowledgement, and not a guilt but a recognition. I didn't own slaves, I didn't commit genocide, and neither did my ancestors. But I be

Almost every DAW fails to handle spatial audio rendering properly, so I doubt this is the case. Spatial computing that relies on spatial audio rendering is basically impossible to predict in current DAW offerings - you have to rely on game

what about guilt for the quantitative benefits you derive from no other reason but the position of your birth, often at the expense or detriment of others who suffer from the position of theirs?

I think it reads like Gonzo journalism without the self awareness of a writer like Hunter S. Thompson. Too many narratives being constructed from coincidence, because a narrative is more enjoyable to write and read than a set of coincidence

In my experience, CSS is more consistently supported between rendering engines. SVG is a shitshow once you start adding filters.

That's an elegant way of doing it. The cool thing about these kinds of algorithms is that there are multiple forms with different numerical and performance behaviors, and it can be tough to pick the best one for the given context. The

It would be useful to add a recursively defined algorithm like trapezoidal integration, which is something that basically every autovectorization tool will fall over y[n] = (x[n] + x[n-1]) / 2 + y[n-1] Which will quickly show

There's no such thing as platform independent UI, at least on that break. You can do a "mobile first" UI that sucks on desktop or a "desktop first" UI that sucks on mobile, or you can just make the decision to only
