I realized too late. I mistook you for a tankie, apologies!

The caption on the photo is clearly wrong. No way the other two are Mitch Mitchell (not "Mitchel" (sic)) or Noel Redding, not at any time when Jimi was alive.

Even after The JH Experience, Noel Redding went on to do the band Fat Mattress, and he still had big curly/wavy hair, no moustache, didn't look or dress like an Arby's manager.

I'm pretty sure that's engineer Eddie Kramer at left. https://www.google.com/search?q=eddie+kramer.

No apparent way to submit corrigenda.

C was never a gateway to any flavor of Pascal, a "police state language".

The West Bank is of course a horrible model for any society, including the West Bank.

Here, "text editor" means Emacs or Vim, mostly Emacs. (No thanks.) Page last updated March 2024 but looks very 1990s.

That sounds like a horrible way of living.

> it's very hard to write code anywhere that's not linux.

Oh nonsense -- in fact, bullshit. No, it is not. This is a personal problem; seek help.

>Also I truly hate using windows or osx.

And we truly hate hearing about it, and how things don't work well on your platform of non-choice. So suffer it in silence please.

"To the man who has only a hammer, everything looks like a nail." Imagine, expecting Linux to provide a productive, frictionless music creation workflow, using programs that aren't exactly torture-tested for usability on the platform. I think you're supposed to be grateful/amazed that they work at all. (Not that the UX would be dramatically better or trouble-free on Windows or a Mac, using the same suite of apps.)

Neither Python nor Ruby is "English-like", and neither wishes to be. AppleScript is English-like, COBOL is English-like.
