I own a Push 1 and 2, although at hobbyist level. The standalone Push 3 seems a great step forward. macOS has increasingly become user-hostile when it comes to audio (and other pro) users. For instance I have an expensive sound card that be

When they seemingly need go "back and forth" I typically consider it good timing to create a new instance (object, or DB row) instead of keeping mutating the same instance. e.g. one can consider a re-purchased return simply a new

Yes. From intuition I'd say that getting the right granularity is just as hard as getting other granularities right (e.g. how "micro" or "macro" your services should be). In the end I don't pursue an absolute t

I've never seen a production FSM that I liked. Although admittedly they're better than many ad-hoc alternatives. My problems with them being that they cram together pieces of information that could be considered separatedly. For i

Last week I finally made the leap from Tower 2 (which was the last non-recurring one) to a modern version. The transition was smooth but also it's very annoying that when you open a project and press the down key, it moves through the

If it was, say, a $30000 charge I could give Stripe the benefit of doubt, but $3300 is a pretty ordinary amount for any retailer. Could be e.g. a laptop sale, or three phones? When I see Stripe's apology here it will not be enough for

As with many conditions, the root cause is posture. the neck and spine have a natural posture we're meant to use most of the time. Competitive road cyclists' posture is completely forwards, for aerodynamics, better climbing, etc.

There are objective things that humans have done that no other being has ever done e.g. invent things. Also, no two human lives are alike - we don't simply wander around satisfying basic needs as an animal does. Not even two human gene

Full sentience (self-awareness) is what makes us humans independent agents that affect the world in a way that we weren't programmed to (a dolphin it just programmed to be a dolphin, cannot escape that). So it's an incredibly impo

It's not odd at all. Where your argumentation falls down is when you say "certain animals" as if all animals were alike, and he just picked two at random. He picked two small species with brains that are orders of magnitude s

Good resource, thanks! I'm familiar with the term (as popularized by http://asyncmanifesto.org/ ) but perhaps 'async' is not enough of a self-sufficient term. Something can be async but also happen to be poor.

"12 factor app" is exactly as meaningful as "24 factor app" or "100 factor app", i.e. not at all. Who gets to say how many "factors" are relevant? What's the common thread of the 12 factors?

You didn't get the point I conveyed which wasn't criticism of each point. Instead of promoting any arbitrary set of N "factors", we should think in a Unixy way: each concern ("factor") is considered isolatedly,

I've been a Github customer over 10 years. If you don't see the value of not breaking contracts (in the API sense), it is clear to me that your opinion isn't qualified.
