> this salty-ass junk Do you mean sea water? The amount of fresh water the human race will extract from the oceans will be what fraction of a percentage point of the total? Not accounting for, of course, the fact that…
It's amazing how many people here -- presumably reasonably successful people -- are butt hurt about paying a few more dollars a month for unlimited, high quality (in terms of streaming quality) content. I fail to see…
Started my own company with a couple of partners. Lots of risk and hard work, but it can pay off. It did for me. Not really that company, though it was successful, but companies I started after that which were more…
That's interesting. Do you have source(s) for that? I'm not a 'the Moon landings were faked' person, but how does this reconcile with manned Moon missions? [Edit] So I don't have to add another comment: My first thought…
If you happen to be fishing for app ideas, here's one I'd pay $50 for: An app that controls `~/Downloads` and automatically organizes (somehow), tracks usage and schedules files for deletion. Once a week I'd like to see…
I've got a lot of different gear, but the stuff in question was the HiBy R3, which has a new ESS DAC/AMP combo (an SoC which eliminates a lot of variability in quality due to implementation problems) and a very healthy…
I generally don't name drop and I never tell people to get better gear. The burden of proof is not on me. I simply do not give a shit what they believe. I only take issue with people telling me what I do or do not…
Personally I have zero problems A/B-ing DSD, PCM and lossy formats on my reference system (headphones). I also know (award winning) people in the audio industry who can walk into a listening room and tell you where the…
Can you offer an insight as to why? Of all of the project / language tools / package managers I use NPM seems to offer me the least amount problems. Easy to install, fast and 99% of the time 'just works'. I actually use…
Delegation does not require sharing private keys. Nor does it require transferring XTZ to anywhere other than your own wallet. Ever. Period. The only risk associated with delegation is that the baker will run off with…
Incorrect. 1. The number of nodes is not fixed. 2. The process for node selection is random, based on the amount staked. This happens continuously. 3. The D in DPoS is entirely optional. Anyone holding Tezos can…
That 30% is unjustifiable. Period. If we're talking cost, the cost of hosting software and payment processor fees are closer to 7-8%, 99% of which are on the payment side. The cost of Apple's gatekeeping -- their review…
Not sure why this was flagged. Looks nice. I did find the UI confusing since the map will jump to a location if you click on it and if you hover. I'd suggest click only, or at least not both. I'm not target since I have…
Maybe I didn't parse it but is there anything here that couldn't be preserved as a video? Video can be stored as a series of images, which can be (and often are) stored as a list of RGBA values. Those are as timeless as…
I've seen some truly awful journalism from Reuters. Articles that were so agenda driven as to almost laughably gloss over facts in order to present the desired narrative. (Laughable if reputations and money weren't on…
Action? All I remember is the father -- a superhero -- unable to perform basic child rearing tasks and I tuned out. I don't know what Bird's intention was, but I felt it played into current gender politics rather than…
Oddly, my advisor (I have a BA in lit) asked the class to comment on the often ignored line -- but then left it when no one offered the more correct interpretation. (Why I didn't bring it up is another story.) Funny…
Synthetic training data. Sometimes it's cheaper / safer / easier to work with simulated data rather than real world sensor data. For some types of machine learning, a simulation is "real enough". Someone asked me to…
Honestly, I don't see why everyone hates blockchain these days. Two things are going on: 1. It's a potentially revolutionary technology (trust-less, decentralized, nearly tamper proof, etc) that hasn't yet found a…
> 2. Have a supportive partner on whose earnings you can live [on]. This is much more achievable for many people, and under-emphasised (it's common for, eg, postgraduate education!) My wife an I have taken turns…
I understand the background of the "passion" conversation (e.g., PG's take) but I've begun to think it's way too biased. At some point in my life I became obsessed with software and very quickly went from zero to…
I know cryptocurrency is contentious in this community so apologies for injecting it here: OCamlPro is heavily involved in the development of Tezos and a big part of the reason I invested in it. One of the main selling…
His videos on the Fourier transform are top notch. I can't recommend watching him enough.
It's been a while since I used mine since it was destroyed after falling 18 inches onto a wood floor (corner bent, screen connection shorted) but I'm pretty sure the Macbook 12 keyboard is worse. Maybe by a millimeter…
Have to pile on here. I have a 2017 and use it mostly with an eternal keyboard and monitors but I am shocked when I use the built in keyboard. It is really bad to type on -- all for what? A few fractions of an inch in…
