You don't even understand that it's not the "personal experience of one single journalist he had in one city". "Speaking from the city of Mainz" means he is talking from the ZDF headquarters, that's all. Obviously it's the feedback the TV station got from all over Germany.
Ardour currently makes more than $200k per year. Harrison Mixbus is a distinct product from that.

I never wanted to step down. There was a brief interval when it looked as if I would have to, in order to make a living. That has not been the case for more than a decade now.

We have many users who have used many other DAWs, including Reaper. A good chunk of them strongly prefer Ardour to Reaper. Another good chunk do not.

Reaper is not the most powerful tool. There are dozens of things you can easily do in Ardour that you cannot do in Reaper, and just as many for which the opposite is true. Reaper has no clip launching model / session view, which is what allowed Live to change the entire zeitgeist of computer-based music production (now copied into Bitwig, Logic, DP and right about now, Ardour). It doesn't even get into the modulation ballpark that Bitwig is playing in, and completely lacks the freeform flow that FL Studio allows.

The reality remains that there is no "best" DAW for anyone. Plenty of people think that Ardour sucks, and for their workflow, you just have to respect their verdict. Just as many people try Reaper and find it impossible to use. Fortunately these days there's a DAW for everyone, and Meadowlark will only make that more true.
Assuming this is sarcasm, you realize Google has a massive userbase all over the globe from all walks of life, right? Does it make business sense to accidentally exclude certain people? Or ethical sense?

Quite often "technical debt" from an engineer perspective is an asset from the leadership perspective. Make of it what you want, but code which is bad from a customer perspective usually doesn't live until it's legacy.

And sometimes the technical debt cloud disappears after fully understanding the business rules and special cases which were the root cause for the code in question. This often gets overlooked and may (edit) lead to refactoring/rewrite approaches which ultimately fail. As everyone knows, not a rare occurrence.
How exactly should literature be viewed then? I am having difficulty understanding what exactly your complaint is about the objective filters about something being fact or myth when it's (by definition) an unambiguous state of being for most ideas and legends, literary or otherwise. How does talking about it damage "serious study"?
Other people apparently hear perceptible voices talking to them. Those cartoons about a devil and angel on your shoulders aren’t just cartoons, it turns out, I guess. I’m not really great at explaining it :)
Rivian aims for up to $54.6B valuation in upcoming IPO
It is definitely more evil. I use Chromium, which to me is perfect. Not a lot of invasive features and a lot can be configured or disabled using a policy file with Linux. I am honestly pretty disappointed in Firefox as of late. I feel like I have to disable an equal amount of tracking with Firefox as I do Chromium.
Frankly the problem is, none of these are really well defined. I think Zuck wants the general consensus to lean towards:

VR - Is a user interface. Metaverse is a network built for that user interface.

Historically, we had screen and keyboard based user interfaces, and with it text based gaming like Zork. Then we had screen and controller based user interfaces, and with it games like Pong. At a certain point we got the screen and mouse user interface, and with it FPS, RTS, like Warcraft and Doom. Touch screens were again a new user interface and with it came games like Fruit Ninja. VR now exists as a user interface (although still needs to be improved) and many people love playing Skyrim with it, or Beat Saber.

All of these were mostly local experiences with different (better?) user interfaces.

Meanwhile, each user interface had its own networks that were built on them. e.g. Email is a "first class network" built on the text based user interface. e.g. WWW is a "first class network" built on the mouse based user interface.

The metaverse isn't a new user interface. The metaverse is a "first class network" built on top of the VR based user interface.
A lot of small-time individual owners with single properties pay a management company a monthly fee to handle leases, maintenance calls, stuff like that. It saves a lot of headaches. Is that what you're considering "professionally managed"?

The current Democratic VP has bragged about voting for the law for what it’s worth. Being “tough on crime” and promoting sexual puritanism are bipartisan interests.
Its a race to the bottom (section 8 is guaranteed money) or top (high income homes tend to be more stable).

No one wants a medium income rental due to that. And I'm thinking about being a landlord - as I'm moving - and evicting a tenant that refuses to pay for 6 months while I still need to maintain the property and pay mortgage is prohibitive. The risk there is scary high for what shouldn't be risky.
Interesting that you mention it. Exactly that is the concept in the framework of 'nuclear participation/sharing' as practiced by the USA and Germany, with about 20 to 25 free falling B-61 warheads of the 3rd or 4th generation, while having no delivery systems to 'throw' them much further than about 1500km.

I guess the same applies for Belgium, the Netherlands, Italy and Turkey.

edit: I mean 'nuking it's own land'.

What about the do-nothing script do you find is different than a checklist? To me the whole thing is already a checklist, there just aren't check-boxes.

You also need power to heat, and there's usually very little sun then... sometimes even no wind.

Nuclear and thermal are both slow to ramp up and ramp down, and unusable for short term peaks.

Hydro is actually great for that, because you can regulate the power production relatively fast (as long as you have enough water).
Is it Ministry of Truth here?
Homebrew is a great system for most situations. Great effort by an amazing group of volunteers.

To fix the very real issue you describe, I would like to see a --isolate option for mission critical packages. All the dependencies would be contained in a separate, package specific directory within /opt or /local. The rest of the dependency management could happen without affecting the isolated package.
Homestead exemption! But the homestead exemption has not been raised for inflation.

Can you speak to yourself in your head? I also think there's a difference between involuntary and voluntary inner voice.
> Craigslist felt at risk of being targeted the same way Backpage was.

Craigslist had already been targeted multiple times by law enforcement, and had revised the structure and policies of their personals sections multiple times to try to stop that. SESTA/FOSTA was when they gave up trying to find a way to make it work, but it wasn't just the Backpage example.
Including John "Stones of Venice" Ruskin, no?

Interestingly (or not) a recent Yarvin missive argued that these socialists were dramatically and radically anti-democratic in their leanings. This I find hard to square with their agitating for improvements in the material conditions of the working-class man and their involvement in working men's clubs.

…

Also: I've argued on this site before that there are parallels to be drawn between the backlash to automation at the time of Morris and Ruskin that led to the Arts & Crafts movement and the backlash to automation that our time will engender. Specifically I predict a rise in stuff like bespoke hand-crafted artisanal software, for instance. That's on the aesthetic front. On the socio-economic front the gig economy parallels the treatment of the working poor in the Victorian era. Maybe. Someone more knowledgeable on both fronts could set me straight no doubt.
This is hardly unsubstantiated as it is a widespread acknowledged problem. [1] It should also be noted that this is not the first time I criticized the UK's 'unique' take on justice. The reception then was quite different however. Is moderation at the whim of the mob? Perhaps 'joke of a country is a bit harsh' but I can't think of a better description of such lopsided priorities.

A programmatically enforced set of rules is certainly one way to get consistency, but it isn't the only way. You can achieve consistency through culture and training too, and sometimes that's the only way.

Edit: you can look at Google's C-style guide for some examples, https://google.github.io/styleguide/cppguide.html#Structs_vs...

It isn't possible to statically analyze if a class/struct is a POD or if the methods enforce invariants. But it's often very easy to do so with a human eye. And there's value in the distinction!

Similarly, forcing someone to justify using a power-feature (operator overloading, templates, metaclasses, whatever) can only be done by a human. There may be cases where the power feature is warranted and the benefits outweigh the cost, but a linter can't know that. (and ultimately all of this comes back to: things look consistent, and when things are inconsistent, that's a strong signal that something unusual is happening and you should pay close attention)
I think in terms of pictures or concepts. Your example becomes me picturing being stuck behind a dump truck, then me stopping at numerous stop signs, then I’d decide based on which one feels like it would be more painful.

Do people actually think in terms of complete sentences like you describe in this passage, or is there some nuance to the experience I’m not understanding? Thinking for me feels more like watching thoughts flow between black boxes representing some known factor than talking to a friend.
I just don't understand why the screenwriters thought they could create a better story than Asimov. And why is it so important to have a side story about some people's boring feeling towards each other?

What's wrong with simply telling the story as told by Asimov?
It would be interesting to connect things like Bezier patches with constructive solid geometry. So that by recognizing the curves in the surfaces and combinations of them you could then go to a more compact semantic representation.
Hey, a bit off-topic, but what do you think about only buying a 16GB version? According to a YT video I saw, the 16GB and 32GB Macs are roughly equal in terms of performance. [1]

I'm on the fence between buying a 32GB 24 core GPU Max version, or going for a cheaper 16GB 14 core GPU and using the leftover money to buy a home server with good GPU and RAM.

I'd like the Mac to sustain 95% of my programming, design, and data science needs, but I'd be willing to run the last 5% (gaming, very deep neural networks, or big datasets) remotely. Especially if I could get more bang for my buck buying a home station instead of maxing out the MacBook.

I started doing improv comedy classes a few years ago. It’s terrifying. My friends would share stories of what their inner critics were saying about their performances. “You were rubbish and everyone was knows it!”.

It was weird for me - my mind doesn’t have a voice like that. “Hah maybe I don’t have an inner critic” I thought. But I still felt crippling shame after bad scenes in class. In quiet moments my mind is full of thoughts - there’s just no voice and no words attached by default. It’s all non verbal unless I think about vocalising it. This mode of thinking makes a lot of sense for imagining algorithms. There’s no words - just a kind of an imagined symbolic mechanism shifting to my will.

I know now I do have an inner critic. It just speaks in my body with emotions like guilt and gut wrenching shame. I have an “inner voice” - but having a thought and having words for that thought are different steps for me. Some of my most interesting thoughts I don’t have the words for at all.
True, but that doesn't help you with encapsulation or the other (potential) benefits of using classes like inheritance.
Deepl is amazing. I use it several times a day for translating fairly complex sentences, idioms and figures of speech, usually from English (my second language) to German (my third language and the one I currently work with). Every time I'm amazed by how well it works. It really makes my life a lot easier.

A functioning food regulatory body is why I don’t worry about it and didn’t bother researching those things before happily eating.

Perhaps regulators don’t function where you live? But if so I wouldn’t trust the meat (well I’m veggie but same point; nor dairy or anything else) either.

Why do you keep asserting that Beyond Burger has worse nutrition? I’ve not seen anything to justify that.
Landfill and the environment are legitimate concerns.. i’m just gonna quote the website

> The new MacBook Pro has been carefully designed with the environment in mind. The enclosure is now made with 100% recycled aluminum. And we use recycled rare earth elements in all the magnets in the product. MacBook Pro is free of numerous harmful substances and all the virgin wood fiber in our packaging comes from responsibly-managed forests.

Other notable objectives: 1. full carbon neutrality across their supply chain and services by 2030, inclusive of the use of the device.
2. Recycling and refurb program
3. Circular sourcing (e.g reclamation.)

You concerns are valid, but the princess is in another castle.
Clever use of CSS!
Totally agreed with that downside. Also I really appreciate your review. I've got a Framework arriving soon and I replaced my XPS 13 with the Lemur Pro, so your analysis is charting ahead of exactly the path I'm on :)

Thanks!
> You solve problems of scale at scale.

Yes. One good step would be to allow density everywhere so more people who want to live in dense environments can afford to do so. After all, there's more demand for walkable places than there are walkable places: https://cityobservatory.org/the-myth-of-revealed-preference-...

> make it actually better, quieter, cleaner, and cheaper

Trying over here. My local government is not very amenable to this, unfortunately.

> it takes up to two hours to go a few miles by any mode of transportation

In a city that actually cares about efficiently moving people seriously, that'd be absurdly slow. It takes far less time than that to bike a few miles. Yes, most American cities don't have the infrastructure for that. Again: trying.

But all that aside:

> You don't tell people to lower their energy, you build desirable technologies that use less energy automatically, and most importantly, raise the energy consumption level that is sustainable by building more carbon-free power ASAP.

This is an important part of the solution, yes, but time is not on our side here. I think it's foolish to think that we can reduce our emissions as much as we need to while maintaining our lifestyles exactly as they are. Maybe if we'd taken the problem seriously decades ago that would have been the case, but now it's going to involve at least some level of inconvenience.

An example: it takes a long time for all the cars on the road to turn over. Even if we assume that electric cars will become massively more popular and available in the next decade, and even if we assume that 100% of the electricity to power those comes from green energy, we still wouldn't be on track to halve emissions from passenger vehicles by 2030, because a significant percentage on the vehicles on the road would still be gas powered. Some element of this is going to have to involve less driving. And that's just one source of emissions.
This is why I advocate removing the market and doing a substantial fraction of housing as public housing. Other countries like Sweden (iirc) do this.
Kerbal space program and in a year or 2 kerbal space program 2. Why? Why not! (basically the motto of KSP)
Depending where you live, if you attend some landlord association meetings, or read any popular literature about real estate investing, you'll see that this is basically what happens. The common advice is to try to bring your units higher up in the market as much as possible, to minimize risk because folks with higher incomes are seen as less likely to trash the place, less likely to sue, less likely to stop paying. Books go on for hours about how you should keep your unit vacant instead of renting to a risky tenant.

I'm not making this up and these are not my rules or opinions. It's just the logical conclusions these people come up with, given the environment they're faced with.
> Gem ecosystem in Ruby makes it super fast to develop stuff, I'm not sure is there any ecosystem that rich with up to date libraries.

Pretty much every ecosystem has a package manager and ecosystem, I don't think Ruby is anything unique here.
TL;DR: you don't have experience in the subject you opine on, but wonder why someone who does would.

I'll address these points below.

---------

>I'm not sure why the amount of audio production experience is relevant in this case.

Because that's what would make you qualified to have an opinion on the matter, or make an analogy.

If you don't use a DAW regularly to make music, you are not qualified to say that lack of 3/4 support is just like having no parking sensor.

You don't have an understanding of which features are important if you are not a user. (Speaking of which, I hope you at least drove a car!).

>I also don't have a horse in this race

Well, you commented on the issue. There's your horse.

>I just find it curious that you seem to be so extremely passionate

As a musician, yes, I'm so extremely passionate about the art and craft of music making - and the tools involved.

Just like literally any other musician. We are passionate because music is how we express passion.

On top of it, I get sad when people express unsubstantiated opinions when confidence on the issues that I care about.

>Why does it matter so much that it doesn't align with what you find the most important aspect of an MVP?

Why does it matter to the developers to say that this is a project "by musicians, for musicians"?

For the same reason, it matters to me, as a musician, to note that their MVP is not heading in the direction of their claim.

If anything, I'm helping that project by consulting them on the product / giving user feedback on the design.

Because I care, and I don't want to see a development effort wasted on something that people won't use because the developers did not understand the needs of the people they are writing this program for.

>I hope you've enjoyed working on your songs, just like the authors of Meadowlark are enjoying working on this DAW.

Well I'm not posting my songs on HackerNews in a post saying "Background Music To Write Code To: By Programmers, For Programmers". That would be dishonest.

It makes sense, therefore, for musicians to comment on the discrepancy of something aiming to be a "fully featured DAW" without having the most basic feature (but shooting for advanced stuff few people need).
There's them loosing the strategic moral high ground.

This is where "eat the rich" comes from. I'll take my flag-dead for this one.
I'm not sure what you think that article demonstrates. It certainly doesn't demonstrate that "The Right has never trusted the Left with the right to vote".

I will give you that there have been times when the Right has not trusted the Left with the right to vote. I will give you that in some places, that is true right now. But a general, sweeping statement? "Never"? C'mon. You're simply wrong.

I just got to try an Oculus Quest 2 and I was really blown away by how advanced it is, I didn't expect that. But at least in my case and at my age after a 2-3 hours of full use (when you run out of battery) my eyes are really tired and I was scratching them for a few days after.
So, it still need one extra generation at least, probably an "iPhone-like" moment but it's definitely addictive.

I run the timelines with conceptual blocks and then do a final pass to put them back into words to reply. It only takes a fraction of a second to solve the puzzle but it’s a pain to figure out wording each direction. Logical-NOT traps in standardized testing are hell on earth because they’re not language-appropriate uses of negation.

If I can afford five minutes of truck wait I’ll rock out in the car. If I cannot, stop signs earn precedence.

The upside of doing it this way is that I can solve the puzzle without needing the variables to be well-defined, because it’s easy to nail down where the crux points are and then leave the .. I don’t have a word here, the subunit of puzzle? .. unresolved until information exists.

What counts for readability is not set in stone by some language czar as the One True Way. Everyone knows the style guides can't be perfect which is why they're relatively mutable.

In any case, readability will comment on stuff that cannot easily be quantified, such as when to use a certain object hierarchy or dependency injection, etc...
