I answered somewhere else. Brazil being a major exporter of only primary sector goods isn't doing the population of the country any favours. > If people from other countries really want Brazilian economy to get off the ground, they

The current government is heavily favouring the export of primary and finite resources. If people from other countries really want Brazilian economy to get off the ground, they should want Brazil to export processed and manufactured goods,

As someone born in Brazil, I'm tired of this condescending bullshit. There are several economically viable solutions, but Brazilian government should be interested in pursuing them, rather than only pursuing things that only benefits t

Yeah, definitely that. To see pictures of the places in Google Maps or Search it takes several clicks, and I can't compare them side by side. Some are obsolete. Lots of pictures I don't care about added by business owners. Not rea

I'm definitely feeling this too. Finding documentation on some libraries I use has become impossible even with the site: operator. Older articles don't show up anymore. I also have to quotes the hell out of things to get proper re

That's quite easy to do with Amazon S3. Maybe Google could just use AWS since implementing this feature seems to be a bit complex for them. /s

Funny, I was duped once into coming to a Herbalife-similar Multi-Level-Marketing introduction meeting by a university colleague (we both did EE). He called some other people from our class saying it was a "business opportunity". T

Yeah, I entered the industry a decade after you but I share the same views. Back then teams were so much smaller and management actually took care of the bureaucracy. I remember at one time I ended up as the sole developer at a university,

Gotcha! Thanks for taking the time to answer. Interestingly I also met some cute girls and a friendly guy in a train recently and they tried to exchange Instagram handles with me. I just asked for WhatsApp and we created a little group (but

Sorry, I didn't really assume you did anything, I was just speaking in general terms from my own experience being in the other side and was citing my friend's strategy. I should have been clearer about that in my message, as I hat

Yeah, for your mother definitely makes sense to already have more than one weekly phone call, but I was thinking about other family members. Reading your post, it seems Facebook is a bit of a recreational activity to keep them sharp and soc

They're 90? I wonder if it couldn't be replaced by a weekly phone call.

Oh man. I used to be up to around 2014 the last asshole keeping a specific group in Facebook Messenger. It wasn't much of a problem for them because my friends were using FB for other stuff anyways, but they wanted to move to WhatsApp

My family replaced FB with WhatsApp. So have most of my friends (although with friends it's mostly Signal). Sure, it's a completely different kind of platform, but it serves well. People post their travel pictures there, people as

This used to be the only truth, and is definitely a fact for purists or vintage collectors. But especially for working musicians and non-collecting producers the tide is turning: they want to have their cake and eat too. Which means new syn

Alright. That's totally fair and true, but that's not within the context of this thread, the first post specifically said "music production wise" and this is what all the corrections refer to. Consumer audio, even (or es

Got it. I’m just making it clear that I’m only replying to your question ( “Could you give an example of an application where the bottleneck is UI code?” ) rather than arguing for language X or Y. I actually agree with you. I guess I’m kind

Yes. We use null-cancellation very often as a production/engineering tool, not only as a “test”, so it has to be, otherwise our tricks won’t work.

Gonna agree with the other replies. That’s definitely not the case for music production. We even use special drivers on some OSs, bypassing the slow paths, and we’re very particular about gain structuring, signal path and everything around

Yep. Especially compared to the 80s and 90s when you couldn’t even give a Minimoog away. Even stuff that’s born digital, like samplers, are coming with analog parts today.

by ratww 4y ago
Agreed. If anything, it was in the 90s and early 2000s that almost everyone moved to digital. I remember several keyboardist, guitarist and engineer friends selling all their analog gear for some stuff that is completely obsolete and abando
