Having used Logic (on and off) for almost a decade, and Ableton for more than that, I recently decided to stop using Logic. I know both softwares pretty well (I read both manuals) but in the end, having 2 DAWs is useless.

I think overall, Logic has mostly an audience of "hardware" people. As in: musicians who compose and record with hardware, and then mix in Logic. From the top of my head, Calvin Harris and Disclosure use Logic, mostly for putting together recorded audio and mixing, but not really for writing. Also, professional mixers who are used to massive mixing consoles use either Logic, Pro Tools or Cubase. Adele's "Hello" was mixed in Logic. These 3 DAWs have a lot of similarities. One of them is their "skeuomorphic" interface. Why do digital faders look like the real ones? There's no need to. Alos, the arrangement-only view. Or the plugin inserts and bus/aux channeling. But I think all of this emphasizes the need to satisfy the "hardware" audience, who want to have the digital equivalent of their hardware interface.

Ableton on the other hand (and Fruity Loops for that matter) didn't look at the hardware. They created an interface for the digital age. That's why faders are just colored bars. Session view? Genius. Very intuitive. Instrument racks to regroup plugins? Straightforward. You want to do parallel processing? No need for a bus or aux track: just create a second chain in your instrument rack and you've got your parallel processing done. It literally takes 3 clicks to go from a plugin insert to parallel processing. Color-tagging your samples and plugins? Yep. Compare that to Logic where loading a plugin requires you to navigate from dropdown upon dropdown. You can't even group inserts to disable them all at once.

Now I used to go with Logic for my mixing and mastering purposes. Having 2 separate DAWs allowed me to separate the creative from the "engineering" process of mixing. Logic also has great comping features, a nice "flex" mode, a better quantization tool, and nice built-in plugins. Also, the slower workflow felt better for mixing. But now I just do everything in Ableton.

With this update, Logic is going into Ableton territory. Sampler-> Sampler. Quick Sampler->Simpler. Step Sequencer->Session View. But I don't think that adding a few features on top of an outdated workflow will turn me away from Ableton.

It's weird that they're going into that direction because I always felt that there was a clear distinction between Ableton and Logic, and that the lack of crucial Ableton features (like the aforementioned comping) was to not annoy the Logic developers. But now I guess it's open season?
Europe tech has always been different than US tech scene.

The societies are very different. Here, the armed protesters demand haircuts and tattoos. In Europe, the French are flooding Spanish border towns in search of cheaper booze and smokes.

Yes, hyperbole, but a lot of Americans have legit apprehension about cramming into elevators to ride up office towers to work. It's seen as glamourous in the UK to work in a Canary Wharf office tower with a view. In the US, notsomuch.

Edit: I know people who still won't go into tall buildings post 9/11. Something that Europeans don't have in their psyche.
Not sure how that can be described as not dying, but it sounds like this:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eternal_return

"Eternal return (also known as eternal recurrence) is a theory that the universe and all existence and energy has been recurring, and will continue to recur, in a self-similar form an infinite number of times across infinite time or space.

The theory is found in Indian philosophy and in ancient Egypt as well as Judaic wisdom literature (Ecclesiastes) and was subsequently taken up by the Pythagoreans and Stoics [and] Nietzsche..."
I'm not sure we disagree all that significantly. ;)

I didn't mean to imply that we don't work in, join or even thrive in "teams." I meant the elite sports team analogy is a bad idea, usually. That's the analogy I netflix is going for, I believe. They meant it in that context, as you said:

There's no shame in getting cut, and you should be proud that you had the talent to perform at our level for the time you did.

All this has to be thought of as a management philosophy, because that's what it is. A Theory Of How We Do Things Here." Most os the time, work isn't sports-like. Objectivity is one fundamental difference, and actually running things like a sports team requires it. Hackathons are done to create sports-like scenarios on occasion. Trying to go past that, objectivity ends up biting you. ... you'll end up with productivity measures or some other low-autonomy management style.

This was my point about taboo. It's an example of reality leaking into the metaphor, making it unsustainable. Companies mostly don't operate in objective scenarios. Contribution is very difficult to ascertain, especially for the kind of work that requires elite performance.

Ultimately, a sports team is the way it is because of what it is. A team of artists shouldn't try to organise like a team of rowers or a software team like a sales team.

Incidentally, many sales teams run exactly like netflix aspires to... and without much effort. Their reality is objective. A 10X salesman can actually earn 10X, like an elite athlete does. There are elite teams and it is prestigious to have a stint there, even though most don't last.
The only thing that really shits me with .NET Core is that their idea of a "single executable" deployment is really a self-extracting zip file with an entire copy of the runtime.
Interesting, you are right AFAICT (react has numerous packages and I'm not totally sure how they relate).

Are you sure? The HRW report that the UN report references is quite clear. I don't have time to track down all the recent news, but the keywords "food insecurity lockdown" put into Dogpile, Bing, or Yippy should help you get started on the relevant popular literature.

Being a monopoly is neither necessary nor sufficient for an anticompetitive business practice to be illegal.

A literal monopoly is not necessary for a court to determine that a firm can exert significant and durable market power over its competitors and customers.

If a firm is able to achieve and maintain a monopoly solely through lawful and reasonable means, such as producing and offering a superior product at a lower price, it is free to reap the benefits of that fairly-attained monopoly.
Sciter then (https://sciter.com):

- multiple platforms...

Yes: Windows (x32,x64, ARM64), from XP to 10, MacOS, Linux/GTK, IoT and mobiles.

- multiple windows -

Yes. Multiple desktop windows and you can even render separate DOM elements in popup windows.

- rendering to a window that isn't owned by the UI being rendered

Yes, you can render it on top DirectX, OpenGL, Vulkan (coming) or in child window/nsview/gtkwidget. There is also Sciter.Lite that allows to render UI without any DWM - on frame buffer / video memory directly. Check : https://sciter.com/sciter-and-directx/

- don't need to bring up electron.

Not Electron. All this in monolithic dll/so (5..9mb) that even can be linked in statically.

- consistent rendering across multiple platforms.

Check screenshots of https://notes.sciter.com/ , are they consistent enough?

- ... for React

React (Reactor in Sciter terms) is implemented natively. JSX (SSX in Sciter) is a part of language/runtime - no need for additional compilers, etc.

- I'd love to abandon my C/C++ ...

No need to. You can still manage (update, handle events) UI directly from C++ if needed. You can even create custom native DOM elements that can even draw themselves by native code.
It's not about whether they make money.

It's about whether the end result is that the brand gets associated with the idea of "cool creative".

It's a common theme in many areas of Apple after Jobs return, including the whole Apple Store design.
The cult of CEO is deeply troubling to me.

People thought Apple was going to crater after Jobs, and it was fine. It wasn't fine because it has a hyper-capable supreme leader, it was fine because it employs an army of extremely talented hard working people with a reasonably competent leader.

I assure you that Apple has several Tim Cook quality employees earning orders of magnitude less.

It's just so weird to me that we have one group of people priced at replacement cost, and another priced at who knows what? I think you would say they are priced as a multiple on surplus, but I would disagree.

The monolith in Clarke's 3001 was lacking consciousness, although somehow Dave and Hal were conscious recreations, or whatever they were and communicated this to the main characters. I believe the humans were able to use that to sneak some sort of logic bomb inside and destroy it, but it's been a while.
I've had the exact opposite experience, but I mostly use Java over Flutter for Android. Expo can be fairly limiting and breaks a lot, but core React Native is wonderful and does everything I need with a couple exceptions (FCM and more fine grained microphone support). I also have a dedicated Android native module for my app, and a lot of React Native libraries can probably be consolidated down to one module and directly using the Java libraries on Android.

What dependencies are you using that continuously broke? Did you track your package lock file on Git?

EDIT: Ive also tried React Native Web and it pretty much worked OOTB. Alerts were the only thing I found that weren't implemented, but they didn't show any runtime errors or instability
I'm not surprised by this... I'm not sure what the actual raw numbers are, but would be surprised if it weren't. A lot of what I've worked on the past 5+ years targeted Linux and/or Linux Docker containers. Currently restructuring and migrating apps to .Net Core so that they can be containerized.

Not necessarily. A working simulation (for some testable subset of states) doesn't carry any hard and fast logical implications about your understanding.

On the other hand, assuming no errors in implementation then a broken simulation which you had expected to work directly implies that your understanding is flawed.
On the React Native MacOS fork:

Does anyone know when these changes are planning to be upstreamed?
I explicitly called out the case where issues arise solely due to lack of compute in my original comment.

I never claimed that a simulation is required for proof, just that an unexpectedly broken (but correctly implemented) simulation demonstrates that the model is flawed.
Yes, which?

The communism/capitalism hybrid labor model is not going to be very popular and is a poor fit for any kind of work/life balance.

Instead of a company car, maybe detached home offices will become the desirable perk in a pay package.

I can imagine outside of the city and the suburbs, you could install a portable office, modular building, travel trailer or repurposed tiny home and retire with your sanity, but trapped at home is going to be the new meme for the urbans stuck in that drama 8 hours a day, 5 days a week.

In a way it is ansible's fault, at least from my point of view.

The reason is that the whole execution model of Ansible is essentially "a shell script in YAML form". Which makes it really, really easy to pick up for many system administrators. But it makes for (IMHO) harder time writing idempotent code, especially with some of the heavy ansible promoters being responsible for some of the worst code around (Red Hat).
I think it is safe to say that a proper office is always best. It can be at home of course, but it need to be proper. (Desk, chair, shelf, door, flower).

If my office was 10 min walk away I would not want to work at home, but it is 1h by car ...

They pay top-of-band on an annual re-evaluation basis and offer an all cash <-> all equity choice. So pairing that down to the low end new grad scale at Big N ($150, $180k?), but getting that TC in all cash vs. the $120k base, $30k vested equity combos out there, is really life changing.
This is a weird article. The headline is derived from a random board meeting and not even an official statement. It seems like the plan is to open up slowly
I just wrote some small apps using a Go back-end and Vuejs front-end. Any changes made in my editor (VS Code) would autosave and both the front-end and back-end would recompile and hot-reload. Awesome ergonomics.

I also use Java/Kotlin for back-ends and the same would work with any filewatcher/build utility.

Vue.js is the front-end framework for back-end devs who don't like front-end frameworks. I also skip the whole Vuex/Redux thing and just use vue-stash for small projects.
Thank you, it is good to hear. You know you put words out there and you don't really know if it contributes any value to anyone or not. I just try to relay my life lessons.
A lot of applications use commercial components, that tend to be tethered to windows security models for registration/activation reasons.

Many internal apps likely don't need to target windows, but may have windows-isms baked in for a number of historical reasons. There are also a lot of .Net apps tethered to windows more out of heritage, most are easy enough to port, others much harder, it varies and there's a lot of apps unlikely to receive the effort to even explore the feasibility of migration to either mono or dotnet-core.
The killer feature of video is to bring in multiple pages of connected concepts and quickly tie them together, along with emotional emphasis.
I don't think I've ever seen someone at a tech company in Australia refer to someone as 'mate'. Certainly not C-suite.

For the most part, I find the use of mate as obnoxious at worst and awkward at best.
This is about usage, right? Not new installs.

Still, it wouldn't surprise me of Linux installs were also on the rise. I got a new PC 2 years ago and installed Windows 10 on it, and it was fine. Kept pushing me to create an online Microsoft account I didn't want, but once I got past that horror, it was okay. It was mostly for games anyway.

This autumn, I got a new laptop to replace my aging Macbook, and decided on a Thinkpad. I got it with Win 10, which I expected to be okay. Now I suddenly need to pick 3 insecurity questions so people can bypass my password. No way to prevent that. Tons of stuff is impossible to find. The whole experience for anything that's not gaming, is just terrible.

Was it a fluke? I recently got my son a laptop for school, and I don't know why they keep making it worse, but that OS is an abomination. I was finally ready to leave Apple, and now I'm ready to get back again.

But first I'm going to install Linux on everything.

Ah, is that over the life-time of my being on HN? I've lived in 3 different timezones, US East, US West, East Australia, as well as spending a few months in Europe.

So, though it looks like I'm spending time on HN all through the day, this is not actually reflective of my behavior without taking that into consideration :)

Hope you didn't spend too much time on that, it's cool to see. Thanks.

Airsonic (like Subsonic before it) lets me have the best of both worlds by automatically transcoding my FLAC library to VBR MP3 on the fly when I stream music to my phone over LTE.

How did you query this? I want to have a look, but the fact "flutter" shows data since 2004 means the terms I'm using are inflated [1]. Flutter is a dictionary word after all.
