On the other hand I wonder what effect easily accessible credit cards have on overall sales for products like this.

On a personal level it would be a stretch for me to spend $2200 when I could get a used airdyne and an ipad for less than half.

Is this really necessary? Wouldn’t compiling a complete archive be a good first step?

It is a hard-ish habit to start, and fully migrate into. But easy to maintain

Meetings often destroy my productivity for the day.

I’ll be in the flow all morning, but once I have an hour long standup meeting (or similar scattered topic based meeting) I struggle to regain focus for the rest of the day.

I’ve been having a good experience with safari + ublock origin.

Firefox tends to consume a lot of system resources on my pretty modest machine.

My only use for chrome is to interact with the google web apps that don’t work well in firefox or safari. Otherwise it wouldn’t be installed.

IMO Google softly requires you to use chrome because their tools, in my experience, are unstable in other browsers (I’m looking at you meet)

The cynic in me is doubtful that this is entirely by accident.

Yes. You have one life, and it’s worth living with or without money.

Interesting not to see a mention of reaper, which is a fairly popular DAW with linux support (“experimental”)

Also a lot of music is loop/clip based (one or more bars of music is a sample by itself) which can be repetitive and exactly in time every time.

My favorite artists find ways to add a lot of variation, even to simple song structures. By including lots of detail, by playing parts by hand, blending electronic and acoustic instruments, etc.

I think music benefits from imperfections here and there.

Yeah knowing the audience is key. But an eye catching resume can also be very valuable.

In this field a design with something like familiar grey/white fixed-width type on a matte black background, ascii table outlines, and “syntax” highlighting, etc, etc, would probably get some more attention (good or bad)
