I think OP is from Estonia, in which case it ended around 30 years ago.

I've spent most of 2020 building something similar. Now I just wish I had a landing page ready so I can plug it here instead of over engineering the app itself, but oh well :)

Anyway, what I'm building is meant more for the repetitive kinds of electronic music, but I solved the problem by just making it work like a shared loop pedal that records up to 16 measures of audio.

Everyone works asynchronously and can add or remove audio on their own time, but loops get synced to other players as they get recorded.

Best part? You can do cool stuff with browsers nowadays (even record uncompressed audio). So it just needs a web browser.

Thank you! :)

Yes you can! :) I just put my email up on my profile, ping me and I'll let you know when the private beta is online! I'm aiming to get an MVP and a landing page online in the coming month.

I'm working for a browser-based app for electronic musicians to jam together online (not real-time, I think I found a compromise)

Funny how I didn't anticipate that the biggest obstacles to launching it will be my own mind, in the form of imposter syndrome and insecurity. That, and the lockdowns have been a bit rough. Almost there though, and a lot of lessons learned. I assume there's probably some more lessons in actually getting the first users coming up next, but I'll cross that bridge when I get there I guess :)

* No, bitcoin is totally meaningless if you can’t pay for food in it.

Thuisbezorgd, the largest site for ordering take-out food in the Netherlands accepts bitcoin.

I personally know someone who went to a job interview to one of those propaganda comment factories in Russia (before she realized what it was and got the hell out).

They (try to) recruit educated people.

A similar law is still going strong in The Netherlands. As of this year, most Dutch sites greet you with an annoying pop-up.

I tried using Pimsleur to learn Dutch, but I must say that I didn't like it too much. The language they used was way too formal, and people here in the Netherlands don't really speak like that too much.

Michael Thomas courses, on the other hand, have been very helpful. Instead of just drilling how to ask for directions, you get taught how to form sentences.

Then again, it probably comes down to personal preferences.

Yes, the magic number is 4095 selectors. And it's still true, even in IE9.

Same here, I switched to vim when I realized that TextMate 2 was basically the "Duke Nukem Forever" of text editors.

I don't think I'll switch back, but I will play around with it and see what was so awesome that took that long to develop.
