Clients are in love with their own ideas. When I say ‘client’ I mean the person or team to which you report. This may be your supervisor, boss, customer, or project manager. For simplicity, we’ll refer to that person as your client. That person will get more excited about their own idea than anything else.

The Mellotron, built and sold by Mellotronics, Ltd., was based on an earlier instrument, the Chamberlin MusicMaster, which used recorded notes from members of Lawrence Welk’s band—hardly the hippest sounds on the scene when the Mellotron MK1 debuted in 1963. By the time of the MK2, however, the device developed into a powerful multitimbral machine, with a dual keyboard, “containing more than 70 3/8-inch tape players, a reverb unit, amplifiers and speakers.”
Arrow functions (also called “fat arrow functions”) are undoubtedly one of the more popular features of ES6. They introduced a new way of writing concise functions.

The opportunity to see all of Van Gogh’s bedroom paintings in one place may have passed us by for now—an exhibit in Chicago brought them together in 2016. But we can see the original bedroom at the yellow house in Arles in a virtual space, along with almost 1,000 more Van Gogh paintings and drawings, at the Van Gogh Museum in Amsterdam's site. The digitized collection showcases a vast amount of Van Gogh’s work—including not only landscapes, but also his many portraits, self-portraits, drawings, city scenes, and still-lifes.
We will be following the official tutorial of Adobe XD, adding some comments, tips and additional steps to clarify the usage of this tool.

As a writer, there are two basic instructions I take from the journals:
1) Take long walks. Get out. Try to arrange your life in a way that you can get out for longer than you even think you can.
2) Go home and write in your journal about what you saw and heard and felt and thought about.
The number of museums that have made their collections available online whole, or in part, has grown exponentially and shows no signs of slowing.

As a motion enthusiast, there is one question that I have been asked the most:
“How do I start with Motion Design?”To this, I often reply savagely, “You start with Physics”; scaring away most of the seekers 😂 But here is the thing — someone who is genuinely interested never stops with a single query. They follow up with questions after questions after questions. I love them! ❤️
Cron is nice and all, but don't forget about its cousin at.
But there is a good standard UNIX tool. By standard I mean it actually has robust documentation, that many forgot. Or never learned? I’m talking about make. More accurately, this article focuses on GNU make. It’s available on macOS, Windows, Linux and most other operating systems.

Having created my first app using Flutter, I weigh up the technology’s pros and cons against the other big cross-platform development contender — React Native
Events are the first place you are likely to meet asynchronous functions, but once you have events and an event dispatching system you can't stop there.
