Fwiw I'm with you here. It's perfectly possible to stay excited about new stuff. Just.. take it for a spin! Find the good parts even when they re-make mistakes from the last time someone tried sth like this 2 decades ago. Like,

Strudel has synthesis too. I don't immediately see how Strudel and Loopmaster's capabilities couldn't eventually converge.

This article in different forms keeps making the rounds and it's just so tiring. Yeah, let's remember everything that was great about 25 years ago and forget everything that sucked. Juxtapose it with everything that sucks about to

Thanks! Though the public address is going to be random here so how will the hacker figure out which tunnl.gg subdomain to gobble up?

Give it some time. I feel like the newer (ish) tools such as Strudel, and also this here Loopmaster, have a much better toolset for producing stuff that actually sounds great (vs just purely the novelty of "look im coding beats").

I don't understand what you mean by this. My wife's HP laptop has an ARM processor with Windows and it.. just works? Like everything works. The computer is super fast, quiet, great battery usage, ultrathin and even scary affordabl

Elasto Mania is a great game from decades ago (but still for sale!) that exploits this fact to a hilarious extent. You control a motor bike with excessively wobbly physics making all kinds of stunts possible (and necessary, to complete the

There’s no sour grapes in this article. I went in expecting the same but found that the author actually makes a good point.

Neato went bust a long time ago. I doubt whatever Vorwerk acquired included the responsibility to keep the lights on forever.

Meta note: I think we should be angrier at Apple and Google over this. It’s in their interest to push everyone and everything to the cloud (their clouds ideally) and so they never pushed for great local connectivity solutions in their phone

I own a Neato robot and I’m on the fence how I feel about it. On the one hand, it bothers me to no end that a shitty architectural design makes it so my robot loses half its functionality when the company goes under. On the other hand, Neat

Fair! I traded clarity for internet points. Though then again, who could the “them” be if not “nerds” and “Silicon Valley”? That’s who the book calls the enemy.

You misunderstand my point. I made no remark about whether big tech bosses behave harmfully or not (and in fact I believe that many do). My point is about blaming “nerds” or “Silicon Valley” for power grabs by a few asshole billionaires. As

You're replying to a single-sentence comment that both calls out the ridiculousness of this book's argument and its funny title. Clearly I can hold two ideas in my head at once and maybe, just maybe, other people can too. I stru

I'm not a big sucker for this kind of un-nuanced "us vs them" rhetoric, but I gotta admit, the title is a stroke of genius.

May I suggest web components? For all their warts, they are perfect for a use case like this. Even React, the IE of frameworks, supports them properly in v19.
