I want to frame this comment. I could have written this word for word. It's so interesting that there are people disagreeing with you. Is it fair to presume that the HN crowd majorly over-represents the pro-RTO voice or are workers really so divided on this issue?

Here’s something I’ve not understood. A major argument for legalizing is that studies can be done. But I regularly hear that studies have been done. What’s the reality?

  I see things like this and remind myself that I have free will.
What a compliment for an artist- I hope somebody says something like this to me some day

This was released in 2017 for one thing. Considering that enough people are still interested in it a decade later they probably did something right.

I don't disagree but I also don't think it's a bad thing. This is a show that stuck the landing. You never know, it could have felt stale with a singular writing team

It's pretty crazy it's Apple's second-largest acquisition ever but it's kinda boring so nobody cares. Of course, Beats was a household name and founded by Dre... a much more accessible story

I think it’s one of the best pieces of software in existence and I don’t say that lightly. In a perfect world we’d have a magic of box of every modular component to build and rebuild to tinker with the physical controls but in lieu of magic vcv rack plus a midi controller is the next best thing

Strudel is very cool. Possibilities are endless with music tools

Totally agree. Have you tried VCV Rack? You're welcome/I'm sorry :D

That is how many synth users feel as well, that they don't need presets because they'll just create a new sound. Neither approach is invalid as there is no right or wrong way to be creative.

Ahh well that’s very different and equally unlikely to be true! Current and previous household name employers are all-in on SwiftUI and it is unquestionably a valuable thing to learn. Something new always comes along but I’d bet a lot of money we’re not going back to UIKit

That’s one I haven’t heard yet, do elaborate

This course was integral in kicking off my career over a decade ago. I think there's no better way to learn to build an iOS app, and the fact that it's free is a true gift. Pre-reqs are in the first lecture:

-Experience writing code (100% of the work in this course involves programming) -At least CS106A (Programming Methodology) + CS106B or X (Programming Abstractions) and CS107 (Computer Organization & Systems); CS108 (Object Oriented Programming), CS43 (Functional Programming Abstractions), CS11O (Principles of Computer Systems), CS147 (Introduction to Human Computer Interaction Design) are awesome! -Know some "structured" programming paradigm, e.g. OOP or Functional Programming -Preferably you know more than one language (cause you're gonna learn a new one here!)

The newest one, EP-40, just came out! It's got the best specs by far and the features are a superset of the original EP-133, so it would be my strong recommendation. Unfortunately EP-1320 never received any updates so it lags behind, but hopefully they remedy that. Just don't buy hardware with hopes of unpromised future updates!

Edit: Because they don't make it totally clear- whichever one you buy, you can clear all the stock sounds and make any genre of music, regardless of the theming.

I own the Index and Vision and haven't tried this yet. I was considering buying PSVR2 controllers since they're officially supported but maybe I shouldn't bother?
