Yes, this is absolutely the reason. Open-source software maintainance burns out people daily, and most can only tolerate <4 years. 20+ years is godlike, and can only be achieved if you have the world's longest patience, or correctly

As a BDFL, it's the only way to survive, unless you're on sedatives your whole life. You very frequently come across ideas that are so unexplainably stupid that the only way to fix them is to stop them in their tracks. Opening a f

He's the north coast synthesis guy? I just tried his modules yesterday, and now I'm reading an old article by him. Small world!

Having never seen this theorem before, it seems so trivial that it's completely useless. If you have no guarantee of having connected systems, then of course you can't always have consistency between them if they're required

I look for keywords regarding the tools I use and that describe myself. For me, it's C, C++, random Javascript libraries, databases, certain computer hardware, companies I use, and certain startup business terms. It can be a keyword so

They might help the platform for consumers, but I'm talking about for the owners of Twitter. Third parties don't help by a measurable amount, or if they did, it is less than the cost of maintaining a good API.
727.
by vortico 8y ago
The reason is simple. They don't need third party applications to support their business model anymore. So why would they try to improve their API?

Seconded. This is the answer right here. I've been using it for my personal email for 3 years and company email for 1 year. Their support, web app UI, mobile app, data access policies, and prices are great.

Sorry, I should have specified. Electronics the size, functionality, and build quality of each synthesizer module.

You have to buy the aluminum bars, screws, brackets from somewhere. It will always be cheaper for a manufacturer to buy them in bulk at a price much cheaper than you could get them and sell it to you for cheaper than the sum of the parts (a

All sources just say "removed by authorities and not allowed to return" with no other information. Are there court papers or something that reveals the reason behind this statement?
734.
by vortico 8y ago
Can't. People require a particular amount of support, your marketing costs scale with product sold, and international shipping costs can't get any cheaper. The baseline is not much less for Behringer as it is any reputable modular
735.
by vortico 8y ago
I think it has more to do with baseline product overhead. The cost of bringing a single electronic product to market is $50-100/unit + variable amount based on the scale. The solution to make the product cheaper is to offer monolithic

by vortico 8y ago
Modularity in every industry is 3-10 times more expensive than monolithic commercial products, and this is no exception. I can buy a metal bed frame for $40 at Walmart, or buy ~10 $40 pieces to make my own. It's the price you pay for h

And then there are those that legitimately try really hard but still have difficulty with control flow logic and algorithms in their second year, so this is what they should be taught. You can't just ignore them. Skipping ahead to cach

For the 25-50% that need it, sure, those would make good third or fourth languages. My point is that Python and C should be the first two, not the only two languages they learn in college. My reason for recommending C is to get an overvie

by vortico 8y ago
I use and enjoy dozens of scripting languages including Smalltalk and Python, but colleges need objective reasons to teach a certain language, and the popularity and applications of Python can't be beat.

C is a good enough approximation to the level students need. Many will never use or even think about assembly again, especially on the architecture they happen to be taught, but most will use some derivative of C syntax and semantics. For t

I agree with meatbundragon's comment "learn whatever you need first", but for a computer science degree program, I've held the opinion for a decade that students should learn Python first to get a feel of how humans sho

The primary reason seemed to be misunderstanding, misinterpretation, and the long delay between Youtube's eventual resolution.

Thanks! Noted for later, I might need it. "I'll take 5 2-packs please." "Sure, we can just do two 5-packs." "No, I'm trying to save three bucks here."

The ideal case is that the representative is part of the team. Perhaps he/she is in the same office or actually a developer. But it's okay if they're in a different team as long as they can open a communication channel if n

I'm primarily talking about companies that require more than basic customer support, not users who need help installing iPhoto (since this is Hacker News by Ycombinator after all). If you build your company upon the assumption that you

That's what the company calls the team anyhow.
