I like to think I’m a synth nerd in the know, and certainly chat a lot and read synth forums. But Plogue have flown under my radar. This looks like great stuff at a good price. Do you own any of their soft synths?

If I read this all correctly, there would be no path to selling games, is that right? Just curious. Looks very cool.

Pure Functional programming’s cost comes up front when you are trying to solve and express your solution. Imperative programming’s cost comes after you have written code, because it is inevitably buggy and incorrect. Imperative programmers

Photography, with a camera. Just go for a walk with a camera and look for things to photograph. You'll get much better at seeing the world.

Correct. So, in theory it works and in practice it works with limitations. You could probably create a lens/camera calibration profile that could take the practical use further.

In 20 years of working as an engineer and also interviewing, I’ve seen maybe 3 people that could be as productive without an IDE. They certainly exist, but I believe they are rare exceptions.

I think when something is built by several people, catering to outside interests, you end up with more churn, bloat, inconsistency, instability, etc. But your specific need has a better chance if being addressed. When something (like Elm) i

Agreed. Fuji are film experts - experts in presenting a human-consumable photograph. So I’ve learned the film simulations and choose when I shoot. So yes, I “shoot RAW” and let the Fuji experts post-process this in-camera.

All the experts have been talking about a housing market collapse in Toronto for the past 15+ years. It’s been imminent and inevitable year after year … after year. Well, I guess these complex systems are hard to predict. But OK, let’s supp

I fully agree. And I’ve done those silly “arrange these similar colors” challenges and got pretty good scores. So I’m not sure who this is for.

I read “A Thousand Brains: A New Theory of Intelligence” by Jeff Hawkins, and it now is clear to me that our neocortex (like computers, or AI) is just a lot of general purpose computing infrastructure with ZERO aims. Our emotions (which dri

Seems to me that if you don't have a pure functional language with tree-shaking, and only including existing (non-generated) code, you won't know if any (3rd party) code in particular will be called in compiled output, and you&#x2

Stranger still is that one can find a rational number between any two irrational numbers, yet the irrationals vastly outnumber (are not countably infinite) the rationals (which are countably infinite). Cantor’s diagonal argument is an easy
