One can say that stomp boxes follow UNIX philosophy. They do one thing and can be connected ("piped") to make complex sounds. For example, if you want distortion, with some modulation (say, some phaser) and a little bit of a delay

What's so bad about Boss pedals. I _love_ how they look. Their retro-futuristic vibe (it's genuine vibe, they haven't changed since 80s).

But launching rockets isn't rocket science. You build giant steel tube, fill it with some explosives and liquid oxygen, ignite it and, kaboom! you go to space. That's the theory behind it. Now, to put that into actual practice is

This. States that push such legislation are also likely to be corrupt. It's fine until you run into problems with someone that happens to be in power.

Such laws have some far-fetched, surprising (at least for Westerners) and very creepy consequences. I've read a story about a Swedish girl that had been date-raped while staying on one of Gulf states. Having been used to European legal

Is "World Cup" public? I assume this is an event organised by private (for-profit) entity (FIFA).

Does macOS use OSS?

> OSS is the unix de-facto standard Is unix actually used for "serious audio"? If not, talking about "de-facto standards" doesn't make any sense.

But isn't the whole point of Docker having a 100.0000000% repeatable environment? And how would that portable Dockerfile would look?
