I once started with DOS, moved to windows, linux (various distro's), now already for a few years on osx. Windows doesn't even come close to the reliability and comfort of my macbook-pro. I was always reluctant to move to osx, but

I think the drop in revenue is because the market is really saturated. All those millions of guitars produced are not destroyed, it's not the kind of product that you can apply 'planned obsolescence' to. Instead, the vintage

Sorry, no weird hostility, just an observation. The weirdness comes more from the way how you guys think about creating a typed language. What the heck would a CS compiler with static type checking have to do with var statements apart from

You mean only ES2016 from that list? > Producing readable code is certainly the intent! This is hilarious! Transpiling from the most readable JS alternative to ES6? Then you need to clean up some things, making it ready for yet another t

Instead of wanting projects to move to a language you know, you can better first learn the language they are written in, and try to understand their decision in the first place. If you know CS very well you would not be so eager to move to

This is a true loss for the world. Although his revolutionary ideas were IMHO by times a little over the edge, he envisioned and fought for a world without poverty and war, where earth's resources are not being depleted by hunger for m

For some reason the focus is always on preventing re-rendering if it comes to optimising a React app. I understand that it can be really effective and is often the easy way out, but re-rendering in itself is not costly and I don't real

I didn't say all people who use it are idiots. But willingly sharing your private data for free while waiving all your rights? If you realise that facebook runs AI on that data and knows much more about you then you could ever imagine,

You should have learned to be very happy they disabled your account! Facebook is for idiots and for companies that milk those idiots. This event likely saved you for wasting even more of your precious life time. Be happy and do some great t

Turning off Windows update is not enough I'm afraid. Better remove this misery-ware completely from your pc and move to Linux. Linux is better, safer, cheaper, and more fun overall! For apps that don't run on Linux for now, like A

It's not wrong, just feels misleading. For me it's like Sublime text comes with a little tutorial with the title "Get started making apps", and only give an intro on making a hello world program in C++, to sell their pro

No, qwerty for keyboards is more like the lay out of the 12 notes on an instrument, and there are many instruments. Music notation is more like a programming language. The score is like a program that you can read/interpret and play.

Making music (also EDM) is really, really hard. Most people that try will fail, and Ableton knows that. They are just trying to sell their product here which is fair enough. But 'getting started making music' is like you only need

Yes, studied music on the conservatorium and have been a professional producer for years doing pop and edm etc.. Used most of the known DAW's from FL to ProTools.

A more appropriate title would be: Get started triggering samples. Making music is really something different IMO.

Reading the comments I have to consider myself very lucky in a way. I work full-remote. - I never use an alarm, normally waking up around 8:30am - I often start coding right away when I wake up, in these first 2 hours I am often exceptional

Fair chance Blizzard expected he had at least made a copy. Their being so generous with gifts and inviting him to speak with him personally seems to me a desperate effort to generate even more loyalty in him, which is actually really smart.

The bad news is they're targeting students. Who wants to see his children being locked into MS Windows software by school? Besides, we just found out Windows 10 has almost complete control over your system and calls home, now sending y

10x developer is just a metaphore, not based on some mathematical model. For me it relates to the difference between an average singer in an average band and Prince or Whitney Houston for example.

by uranian 9y ago
10x is a metaphor. I believe we also have 2x, 3x, 8x dev's, it's a very relative factor. But it sure is an illusion to think that 10 average guitarists together will produce better results than hiring Paco de Lucia or Jimi Hendrix

> Software Development is often about human factors as much as it is the code. Totally true that. But the title almost suggests you can build a winning team out of a random bunch of average developers. Although the best developer is an i

I was interested, until I saw the way too minimalistic demo on the homepage. If you call it a DAW with VST support and so, than just a demo of a piano piece with a huge piano roll doesn't really impress. I don't want to be too neg
