Open source and proprietary software: when is each appropriate and a little about the excess of money
On one hand, open source is always better; you know what the program is doing and can improve it… But on the other hand, developers need to earn a living. Indeed, it’s ridiculous to work for free, as one can easily die of hunger, and motivation… Programming can bring pleasure in itself, but it’s certainly…

Thoughts on Justice, Luck, the Meaning of Life, and System Efficiency
Fact: The primary and irreducible source of mutations, including both cancerous and genius ones, is the natural process of cellular division. Genetic mutations involve randomness by their very nature. Therefore, by the way, among other things, one cannot judge people by their origin… a genetic mutation makes everyone different. No matter what family or homeland…

Neural Knots
Psychological dead ends such as addictions or narcissism/resentment and the like can arise when a person’s neurons literally clump and knot together, hindering the flow of essence, resulting in an imbalance including biochemistry. The solution is quite straightforward: one needs to deliberate deeply, requiring a calm environment to thoughtfully confront the truth without fear… and…

Consciousness: Diversity, Quality, Pleasure
What might the following words signify, or more precisely, what do they represent in our consciousness: diversity, quality, pleasure? These three terms denote characteristics of flow, emerging from the fundamental toolkit of the mind – that is, our conceptual foundation, similar to concepts like number or word. We derive these concepts from experience (flow), followed…

End
‘How can this be? Universal harmony, life, the wonders of music? Still everything to die?..’ So what? In the end, you will die, and so will the universe. ‘But… is there any salvation?..’ Yes, there is. It lies in exploring the world, for instance, understanding dark energy; doing meaningful deeds, creating values that inspire, doing…

My Tools
For making music, I use Korg Triton workstation, Sennheiser HD-280 headphones, Samson monitors, and Pioneer CT-F650 deck – for audio cassettes/Lo-Fi… It’s quite a basic setup, to be honest. I also have “Roedy Black’s” posters near my place – help a lot, by the way!

By the way, I’ve made a new album. Pure Iksnx beats, minimal downtempo Lo-Fi grooves. I’ve decided to postpone the anniversary ‘best hits’ compilation for a bit, but I’m still planning to release it soon. S.A.M by Iksnx

Positive Mindset
In life… I try not to stuff my head with things like ‘must’, ‘absolutely, obliged, do it’… such things don’t work well. It’s better to think ‘this is interesting’, ‘this could be nice’, ‘anyway, I’ll have to do something during my day; after all, infinite pleasure can be a disaster”

Thoughts on quality
Quality… it necessarily comes with experience, because without good experience behind there is no good quality in front. Good quality is something that has been learned and touched many times, and it’s also always honest – honest here means quality for quality’s sake.

The Mirage of Variety
There exists something known as the mirage of variety, where a person strives to obtain everything – tasting all the dishes, pursuing all romantic interests, visiting all countries, listening to every track, acquiring all the movies, and so on. To begin with, for real – it becomes boring quickly, one can’t experience everything, it’s same…

Oldschool
It’s okay to look back and take the best ideas as prototypes for the new. This concept embodies the Renaissance, an infinite eternal return, and self-sustenance – reliable and proven mechanisms of evolution. We can observe these principles in culture, in mother nature, and in our state of being. I’m primarily referring to culture, but…

Untitled
Don’t believe anyone on the internet today; do not let your emotions take over the reason. Always double-check facts and sources. There is so much misinformation everywhere these days. In this modern internet-driven world, we face the dark age of information overload, resource mismanagement, supersaturated ignorance, and greed. Why is this happening? It’s simple: we…

Edges
There must be an edge… otherwise it’s difficult to catch on to the essence (ideas, products, everything) Limitations are an amplifier of creative power, not only on the part of the creator but also on the part of the consumer. Always be aware of the limits and edges everywhere.
