Huh, I've always understood that quote very differently, with emphasis on "premature" ... not as in, "don't optimize" but more as in "don't optimize before you've understood the pr…

I guess it's exactly the opposite for me ... I always hated using "normal" language with the computer. I often quip that I became a programmer specifically to avoid having to use s…

I don't really have nostalgia for that, I prefer the immediacy honestly. Nowadays people are captured by music differently, as they were captured by music differently before music …

Oh I do remember Napster, but that was way after 1993 as well ;) Either way, that still took ages to download, etc, so, it was less immediate. And somehow, I remember it more as a …

I honestly don't share the nostalgia. I enjoy having a computer that allows me to create all kinds of things that weren't possible in 1993 ... mash together all kinds of audio, vid…

I'm always amazed how Youtube can be so many different things for different people ... It's true that it used to be better a few years back, but people still upload great content e…

I've carried my laptop around in so many different bags over the years ... sling bags, tote bags, waterproof messenger backpacks, IKEA backpacks with laptop sleeve compartment, dra…

I wouldn't agree with this all-or-nothing view that ignores public transport. Yes, plenty of people want to live in the city, so it's dense, but if you live a bit outside, you can …

Just so I can choose and compare as a consumer, so I can filter just as I can filter by genre.

I really hope we'll get around to make it mandatory to watermark AI-generated content in a way that makes it easy to filter out ...

Heh, I'd just call it practicing ... I mean, it's pretty much a very common way to practice for every serious musician I know (apart from practicing in a group setting, of course).…

Unrelated to the topic content-wise, but what's the link format? Like, with the object identifier ...

It might also have to do with how programming was taught to a certain generation? At least from my own experience, when I was at university OOP and UML was all the rage, so we had …

I guess it was at a time when computers weren't ubiquitous as they're today, and an average non-technical person might have never touched one. In that days, designing on paper was …

I'd say not all guys enjoy the kind of "guy talk" you're describing ... maybe it's harmless in your experience but it can be quite aggressive, or perceived as such, even if you're …

Hmm in German you could also say "Betriebssicherheit" (safety) vs. "Angriffssicherheit" (security), or at least that always was the translation that made most sense to me personall…

Hehe totally, even though it's a bit overwhelming ... I've been active in live coding scene for years now (and my little language is on that list), yet I still don't know all of th…

The Rust audio environment might need help, if you're into that: https://rust.audio/ Maybe this might be worth a look, too: https://plugdata.org/ It's a recent attempt to make Pure…

And, in passing, basically spearheaded and popularized (amongst others) an entire culture around coding live on stage.

One of the key aspects of the live coding scene was, and still is to a certain degree, to provide a contrast to this kind of perfectionism. To allow people to experiment, and allow…

Well, to do my part in scaring potential expats away, air pollution and noise pollution (it's LOUD) are pretty bad here and you might find lead pipes and asbestos in your building.…

Hmm I don't agree, really, and I live in BCN, for 5 years now. People living here twice as long tell me how bad it was in the early 2000s, and it's nowhere like that today. There's…

It doesn't feel "right", there's resolution issues, and I never got real-time, low-latency sound running in any VM ... so, I'd say yes, by all means.

Well I use Comic Mono as my terminal and code font, even for live coding performances in front of an audience ...
