Well a lot of people don't know how to use Figma properly and still are exporting css with absolute positioned items so there's certainly a need for courses on Figma its a very deep tool but its not going to give usable results by

Well I like stencil for its typescript and jsx but I haven't dug into it hard enough yet to discover its agony points. Its just that when it compiles its all native code calls, no framework to ship but you still benefit from jsx and ty

Then there's education costs in the US, say you want your kid to go to CalArts, that's $50,000 a year just for tuition, so your kid gets out of school $500k in debt with a degree in performance art and a $3,000 a month student loa

They can also blow you off overnight by mistake but whoops it's too late. At one time I had around 25,000 users on my app then a hiccup landed me back at 2 users. As a developer you have no rights. But at least they don't charge $

They have tried to push me out of the industry many times, I'm pushing 50 but my ability to learn new things rapidly has enabled me to hang on long past what some might consider my expiration date. To some extent the 21st century can s

It's the extreme low latency, while yes you can do a lot with just a pi, still we are talking around 20ms latency. With this setup we are talking about digital hardware synths running at sub 2ms latency.

I'm glad they didn't, my main soundcard uses the lightening connector its not optimized for usb c, for musicians there are tons of existing lightening based devices we would have to toss out for usb c so for musician users having

The city of Santa Monica created a better solution - easy access to public toilets with an interior that is completely metal so its easy to hose down to keep them clean. For the most part they keep these very clean so while you see these ou

Meanwhile some poor fool is spending over $50,000 a year to get an MFA in music always do your market research before going into tremendous debt to enter a field of work that no longer exists.

Wow nice work, I haven't seen anything quite as well laid out for typical songwriter use. There are some good web apps for handling notation and composition but I haven't found anything as nice as what you just created for songwri

They have a monopoly over their own app store. It's not like Spotify can just choose to distribute their iOS app directly or through a 3rd party app store

There was certainly contact between the polynesians and native americans. The Chumash got their tomolo design after contact with ancient polynesians who sailed to the channel islands. Before that contact they used reed based boats to travel

With emacs I can run eslint from the terminal, also other things like gcc debugging you get the advantages of an ide's interactivity without needing a gui to run it.

Exactly if it’s mastered wrong the nitrate has nothing to do with the issue this music would sound just as awful cut to vinyl from a bad master. Now you just can’t hear beyond 22050 so 192 is insanely wasteful. But poor mastering is absolut

It's worse than it looks when you add massive education debt and in states like California we have seen the vast share of tax increases landing on wage earners plus incredibly high rent.

I got more intense results from intentionally shallow models such as only training on the work of a single author but then letting the shallow training run for long periods. What I got was sometimes useless but sometimes amazing stuff. It c

There is probably even more weird stuff than ever however search engines are not the neutral tool they used to be, there is quite a lot of censorship at the search level. But this could present a great business opportunity.

"I'll make my graceful exit" is an option far too many people are taking out there. Our industry is in the top 10 industries where workers commit suicide. There is no discussion in this country about how our economy forces ma

Somehow they manage to make their entry level stuff to higher quality, nobody is complaining about the iPad 2018, at their high end it's not just that people have higher expectations it's that their process is broken, they're

Its even more stark when you look at University of California. My first year at UCI in 1990 tuition was $80, 5 years later my last year of tuition had leaped to $10,000. By the time all my student loans were paid I had paid off $750,000, th

Most programmers are not that well compensated. I never made more than 120k a year tops, I'm almost 50 years old. Not everyone is young and pretty and attractive to the Googles. The number of employers who compensate like this are tiny

Ideally for a web midi player if you are able to generate all the general midi sounds using fm synthesis like the old 80s midi boxes you could have a really tiny download size but it would still sound really cool.

You're really looking at the google pixelbook, that has linux app support, pen support, there's no fully open source machine with all that. If you want something fully open you're limited to slower systems like the pi3. If th

Pro rata is how indie artists get 700 hours of listeners in a year with $0 income from Spotify. Unless you reach a certain threshold the big artists get to walk with the income generated by your hours. Most likely this happens to the vast m
