Wired.com ran the first ever banner ad. True fact.


Was it the one where there was a fist punching a cloud? How very ironic if so


Probably the best programming advice any anyone could get.


And yet the USA and Poland were screaming at the top of their lungs to not do nord stream and the German public didn’t care. At all.


Of course they didn't care. The USA were screaming because they wanted to flog more expensive LNG to Germany and Poland was screaming because they wanted their transit fees.

The US screamed so loudly that Nord Stream exploded.


> The USA were screaming because they wanted to flog more expensive LNG […]

The US has been screaming at DE since the 1980s, decades before fracking and LNG was a thing:

No, no, no - that would mean there wasn’t a deep strand of sympathy for Russian ethnic-totalitarianism at play at the highest levels of the German establishment.

And of course it’s not like AfD actually, exists, or that the German security apparatus is riddled with Russian spies and Nazis.


I literally cannot fathom how Germans still don’t see this. It’s a certain flavor of arrogance and greed to watch your neighbors be slaughtered and think “hey, we are getting cheap gas - surely this isn’t a problem”.

Germans like to say how much they learned from their history, but when shit got real they funded the aggressor and benefited from Putins corruption.


Are you kidding??? The USA and Britain convinced Ukraine to give up its nukes!!! All this is rooted in trying to appease Russia in the first place.

If Ukraine had kept nukes they’d be at peace right now.


Eh, Germans and points west are delusional, Hungary is corrupt, but Poland and the Baltics know the score.

The fact that Poland had to shame Germany into defending their *own interests* should be a national embarrassment.


It won’t change until people quit. I did, I’m making way more money, way less stress, and I have no regrets.


As of today it can run Logic Pro. The feature parity is there, most people consider using one or the other a matter of personal preference.


>The feature parity is there, most people consider using one or the other a matter of personal preference.

For musicians (professional or semi-pro) that use Logic on a laptop the feature parity is nowhere there. They depend on tens of AUs ("VSTs") that aren't available on the iPad for example, on top of lots of other stuff.


Those VSTs won’t run on a push 3 either.

Of course ableton comes with a pretty good array of instruments and effects, so maybe this isn’t that big a deal.


Yes, the VST's won't run on a Push either.

But the context in this subthread was addressing the parent's claim that Logic on iPadOS has complete parity with Logic macOS and can replace it in its use - not Push.


Logic definitely has more plugins for way less money though.


FL's default plugins embarrass them both. I haven't used any Image-Line software in a dog's age, but I really miss the Fruity Loops compressor sometimes...


I found FL's plugins (default and extra) to be cheesy and too mainstream-EDM/trap/etc based.


I haven’t used it on iPad yet, I meant in regards to desktop.

Biggest issue on iPad is lack of device drivers. Class Compliant audio only gets you so far.


FabFilter? Eventide? Pianoteq? Sugarbytes? It’s starting to get decent out there.


Does Logic Pro support controller extensions? If they do, they could add "support" with an unofficial plugin like Bitwig or Reaper does. Something tells me the iPad+Push experience wouldn't really be a gamechanger though, at least right now.


Agree, I think it will be limited. However, I could see a niche where it’s a good way to play your tracks live. Maybe you’d have to bounce some tracks in advance if they aren’t iOS compatible for whatever reason.


I want to interpret this charitably, but I've travelled with touring musicians before (even Mac-obsessed ones) and none of their setups are iPad-ible. You might be able to get it to work with a 1i1o DAC for clean audio output, but... genuinely nobody I know would bother with that. The requirements for live performance are brutal, even this standalone Push would be borderline suicide to rely on for a show.


The biggest issue with Mac is they manage to break device drivers every 12 months like clockwork. On the other hand, Logic Pro is an absolute steal at the price they charge, and it’s gotten some huge (and free) updates.


If they decide to go subscription, the value proposition will be different


I also got sick of the constant apologies and you cannot disable it!
