Seeing the downvote, let me add relevant context - VLC is one of the most awesome products I have ever seen that is open. My feeling is that an equally great “open App Store” that is popular enough does not exist (and if it did, I suspect A

Whatever it is, I’m pretty sure it all takes hard work/effort. Which App Store would we say is the “open” one? I don’t know that one truly exists.. and I feel confident it would be hard work to make such a thing (but it might be worth

Marketplaces are either open or closed. For open marketplaces to thrive, they must be under the control ultimately of decentralized, federated authority. This means light governance based on interoperability standards, followed by indepen

There are some tools like Apache Nifi which call this pattern an HTTP listener. it’s also basically a kind of a sink, and also sort of resembles webhook architecture.

Because people don’t know what they don’t know, and, learning from others (along with human knowledge sharing and transfer) doesn’t seem to be what society often prioritizes in general. Not so much talking about the original post, I think i

"Implerative" - thank you for this, this is the term I've been searching for to describe the weird blending of the two things.. I immediately Googled it and saw that it has previous uses as well, I would love to know who orig

FWIW, my grandfather had dementia and knew it before he passed, and for a long time when it was developing. The interesting part is he could not remember the word for it, but the part of his brain that knew what dementia was, still function

This reminded me of when when I first learned HTML in around 1995… anybody else remember Kevin Werbach’s Barebones Guide to HTML? It was basically a site that listed all the HTML tags and what they did. That plus a text editor and early ver

Tangentially, I've been exploring something kind of fascinating... So, in compiled binary executables it was not uncommon to include encoded binary resources, like files or images. Not tons of them, because they would explode the size

A multieffect pedal is an option, or, a device like an MPC one which has tons of AIR digital effects.

Seconded, good advice although, some may prefer to go to at least an RC202 to have two tracks. But simplest is one track, RC1 for sure.

There is also an iOS app called Loopy HD which is pretty simple and cheap, if you have the Apple audio input adapter cable.

RC505 is definitely the gold standard for standalone desktop looping (5 tracks) that are suitable for hand operation. The 202 is just a less expensive 2 track. There are other hardware options, like Aeros loop studio or even things like Ak

Ableton has an actual looper plug-in it comes with that works just like a pedal, in addition to Session View, which is looping on steroids and one of the key features of it. I'm just somebody who has used it a lot, not associated to Ab

Yes, that's true - those products are definitely more of trying to displace the open source tech by borrowing the interface. I still think it is a plain admission to the fact of the popularity of the original tech (e.g. MySQL and Post
