"A new report from Protocol today details that Apple has gone on a cloud computing hiring spree over the last few months... Michael Crosby, one of a handful of ex-Docker engineers to join Apple this year. Michael is who we can thank for containers as they exist today. He was the powerhouse engineer behind all of it, said a former colleague who asked to remain anonymous."

Same here.. I went all in on NI, Maschine Mk3, Jam, S49 Mk2 and Komplete Ultimate. It feels like the best of both worlds. Step sequencing and arranging on the Jam is so nice.
Re:Get Started Making Music on Monday September 16, 2019 @02:45PM (#20987250)
My story is similar to yours. I've just recently gone from 100% hardware to a more hybrid setup. I found that while I was having more fun with the hardware setup I wasn't finishing songs. Personally, I still need a computer to do editing and arranging. My new setup is a small eurorack skiff, Bitwig 3 and NI Maschine Mk3/Jam/S49 Mk2 w/ Komplete Ultimate. The integration between NI hardware and Maschine/Komplete Kontrol is amazing, feels like the best of both worlds. I'm definitely considering the Push 2 for Bitwig, although the Maschine Jam does a pretty good job as Bitwig controller.

Re:Apple acquires sleep tracking company Beddit on Wednesday May 10, 2017 @12:36AM (#14305938)
Their FAQ says it can:

Absolutely, Beddit 3 is designed for sleep tracking in a shared bed. However, this requires one sensor per person, per phone. You may track sleep one or two-at-a-time

I've been curious about Springboard's "Data Science Career Track" program. Does anyone have any experience with Springboard they can share?

This is exactly what the Stems music format is all about: http://www.stems-music.com
Where are the playgrounds?
That is great to hear, I'll definitely give it a spin.
Any plans for offline reading?
Re:Viskell: Visual programming meets Haskell on Monday January 11, 2016 @05:00AM (#10879886)
Visual programming is always well-suited to audio synthesis, would be cool to see something like the Synthesizer library in there: https://wiki.haskell.org/Synthesizer
You say in "almost" every way, are there any ways in particular where you feel that NW.js is superior to Electron?
Agreed, sadly.
I was really hoping to see more support for OS X API's, personally I'm a lot more interested in porting my Mac desktop app to Windows desktop than any iOS project.
Re:Apple WWDC 2015 on Tuesday April 14, 2015 @10:07AM (#9374319)
Any thoughts on what we'll see come out of WWDC this year? Or at least what you hope to see?

ScriptKit for iPad is another really cool effort in this arena: http://scriptk.it
Amazing indeed.
No kidding. Almost hard to believe. It sounds great.
One technique is 3 months in the Schengen area and then 3-6 months in UK/Ireland, 3 months in Schengen, etc... as UK/Ireland are not Schengen and Americans can stay for up to 6 months.
The SO docsets are specific to a tag. Some of theme are gigantic. Therefore you have the option of downloading them in their entirety for offline use (I think the iOS one was 300-400MB's) or you can download just the index (which was like 20MB) which allows for fast search results but needs a connection to retrieve the full content.

Wow, that is cool. Learning Swift is going to be fun.
