This genius can make you buy a computer just by listening to its music. I bought an Atari ST after listening to the game Lotus Esprit at a friend's home. R.I.P. Ben

Re:Why Developers Never Use State Machines (2011) on Tuesday February 27, 2018 @06:22AM (#16472535)
One of the most refreshing experience I have had recently is to map Websockets to some finite state machine implemented on an actor model (namely Akka FSM): straightforward and fitting together naturally.
Re:SoundCloud's Collapse on Sunday July 30, 2017 @07:56AM (#14885556)
Soundcloud is one the rare service I would be happy to pay for. However, their current subscription does not bring me anything interesting. One idea would be to have a monthly limit, and propose an unlimited subscription at around $1 to $3.

And how come I have to pay for the artist album through Bandcamp after listening on Soundcloud? Is there no way to implement a payment straight from Soundcloud?

Also, there is an obvious return of the podcast scene: here again, plenty of ways to make money from that.
