I'm not so sure. Do you have a source?

Security is a weak-link problem. Once you decide to solve the bootstrapping challenge, you can use Rust for everything else.

My comparison with c++ shows java is not more verbose if you take into account headers.

There are simulators such a Kemper or neural DSP that can reproduce fairly well any amp, but it is expensive, and imperfect.

When you play on emulation it's difficult to know if it is faithful without having used the original.

Some musician appreciate them, others avoid them.

When you happen to finally get the real gear, you often realize it sounds better, and have a wider range of usage.

The convenience of real dedicate knobs, without menus is unmatched.

There is some pleasure with getting the real thing, and use it by yourself.

Geisenklösterle Flutes of the same age according to carbon 14 look like a flute.

Once you know that, it is a little bit more difficult to be excited about speculations on the Divje Babe flute.

Some people think it is a hyena who punctured the bone, and that it is not from neanderthal.

Search Divje Babe in https://royalsocietypublishing.org/doi/full/10.1098/rsos.140...

It is amazing to see how much work is spent collecting pieces of evidence.

This writeup is not backed by data and looks to be the author subjective opinion. I had a chance to read some "considered harmful" essay that where more convincing. In the end it boils down to the quality of the content, and the source is likely to be a better hint than the title.

Genuine motivation is the solution for me. When I'm hyped it is easy to get out of my bed and I can work tirelessly. Fortunately I can easily get in that mood.

The article mentions measurement noise several times without addressing the uncertainty. It would help to add statistical tests, otherwise the spread could let us conclude the opposite of what is really happened, just because we are out of luck.
