I can hear the difference between them but honestly I listen to Spotify on highest quality setting (320Kbps I think?) for my everyday because it's convenient and already sounds great. I'm listening in an imperfect environment anyways with environmental noise from outside and a non-treated room. My main benchmark is does the codec give me listening fatigue which, for example, Soundcloud and 128Kbps does but 320Kbps doesn't.

As an aside people who swear by 24-bit audio don't even understand what bit rate does in context of audio. It's only useful in the studio context.

Edit: Not sure why I'm getting down voted. I can explain the difference as added sparkle in the transient high end frequencies. My hypothesis is that the presence of frequencies outside of the range of our ears affect the frequencies within our hearing range. It's pretty common to have to re-EQ the whole track after EQing one instrument in a mix so this concept is just being applied outside our hearing frequency spectrum Also I would like to point out that higher bandwidth audio doesn't necessarily sound better to me, just different.
It depends!

Serverless latency is a problem to consider. That definitely killed it for my project.

High intensity single set training can absolutely work to build strength, if that's what you want. But muscular endurance takes longer to develop. And be careful trying to lift too heavy too soon; your muscles may be fine but you can really damage your tendons if you don't build them up gradually.
> You're absolutely right about the hypothetical power of an organized village! Yet, in this scenario such a thing never comes about and can never come about. A village requires collaboration and trust, things the hunters do not posses.

The books highlight that trust cannot be established. All civilizations are very alien to each other, the huge differences and the lack of a common culture makes establishing trust almost impossible. Imagine sending the first message “I am a farmer, and would like to collaberate with other farmers.” How would you determine if the responder was a farmer, or a hunter pretending to be a farmer?

There are other aspects of the fictional world that makes a farmer collaboration impossible, but I wouldn’t want to spoil it.

Opus can be amazing at lower bit rates. e.g. try encoding some music you know well at 64bps and compare to a 128k mp3.

The higher bitrates (above 128) aren't so advantageous.

If you don't buy fonts often 60 Eur may seem expensive but that's actually pretty cheap as far as paid fonts go.
100x this. Whiteboarding is so outside the typical engineering process that it just feels cruel, especially to people with any kind of anxiety. It's like if you were hiring construction workers and you asked them to perform an interpretive dance about concrete in the interview. It's just not at all the job and very difficult for many of the people who go into programming in the first place. It's hard for me to think of it as anything other than hazing.

I like opening multiple tabs with different fonts and switching back and forth to make the differences more obvious.

I've been experimenting with a variety of fonts in Sublime Text 3 on Linux, and I keep coming back to the default, which is apparently called emilbuS Mono, and looks like Bitstream Vera Sans Mono.
I dunno, if the headline was "Is it time to regulate ISPs" I think the answer would be a resounding "yes, please".

I'm a Brisbane CBD pedestrian.

Part of the issue is that there is no designated area so they are left either perpendicular to the curb on the road side of the footpath or next to the wall on the shopfront side.

I would assume Lime got a permit so Police can't simply hand out fines for obstructing the footpath.

The speed issue is also an issue but mainly of educating riders - I was almost run over last week when I started to move sideways hearing a scooter passing from behind on one side and narrowly avoided being hit by a second scooter passing on the other side - both traveling at full speed.

You don't see cyclists riding fast on the footpath where there are pedestrians - scooter riders don't seem to follow that etiquette. I much prefer the laws in Victoria where only children are allowed to ride on the footpath.

Is it because it is a paid service that they appear to feel entitled to go fast or weave in and out of pesdestrians where a cyclist would often dismount or go on the road?

The promoters of capitalism do most definitely promise that. And what is your position on the issue?
I definitely agree with some of the points (job descriptions and onboarding are generally dumpster fires, to highlight just two), but it has a little too much of a stereotypical young developer feel for my tastes. There are fine engineers out there who aren't overly concerned about the dress code, for example, but care deeply about diversity, social good, and/or benefits other than basic salary.

There is so much more to technical hiring that a leader has to know about and consider. If anyone would like to read a different perspective, I recently finished a long blog series (~60 pages if it were a book) that tries to consider a more complete human approach:

In Germany this year a law passed that while a bit vague mandates all banks by the end of this year provide an external API to at least their current accounts (checking accounts). This is PSD2. Imagine if the same could be done in the states and the reaction of banks: I doubt American banks would like to become dumb pipes to allow fintech firms to build value on top of them. I see these tax preparers no different. And I hope one day a truly simple and free tax return process actually takes hold.

No. The difference between talking (very intelligently) and doing is huge, and a sports analogy might be illustrative. If you ask detailed questions about football to hire a NFL quarterback, your most intelligent responses will probably be from a coach. “How should you change the position of your right shoulder if you see that a fast edge rusher is approaching you from the left side and you have two open receivers?” A coach like Bill Belichick might have a fantastic, detailed answer demonstrating a thorough understanding of every aspect of football past and present, but he could never make the throw himself.
Not to disagree with what you said, I think that can definitely be the case, that autodidacts aren’t learning in the most efficient manner.

The flip side is that people who spend most of their time asking questions and getting answers may not ever get the experience of struggling through problems and never fully learn to exercise those skills, ime

But, limited time and energy makes both approaches useful.

Honestly speaking, since it's an anonymous forum, what's the difference between L5 and L7? Like if I was asked the same question - the difference between L3 and L5 - I'd say that it's just experience with a few interesting known projects that's paid so much better, while the cognitive ability is the same.
I wonder how they tested latency of the CDNs? Whose network would be most biased to serve the testing station(s), as compared to real users?
I don't want to say you are wrong, because there are a lot of situations (most?) where deployment automation can greatly reduce errors.

However, there can also be a number of reasons why builds and deployments could not be automated safely:

- "Production" is not a single environment, but multiple customer environments with multiple deployment version targets based on need/contract. Customer environments might not even be accessible from same network as build/deploy machines.

- Code is for industrial/embedded/non-networked equipment.

- Policies dictated by own company or regulatory body require builds are manually checked and deployed by a human who can validate and sign off.

There really is no way of knowing. Automation can save hundreds and thousands of man-hours and reduce margin of error; but it is not applicable to every scenario. Sometimes manual work reinforced by good habits and processes are the tool for the job. As much as it pains be to say, as my job is automation.

I’d imagine from the pricing for the complete font, which is that price:

Though, the price for the Mono-only (bottom of sidebar) does match what you said. So I’m guessing it’s just misread/UX.

Except if they decide they don't have any updates to release for a month you just paid them for a month of nothing.

The issue with a subscription for self-hosted or locally ran software is that you are obligated to pay an ongoing fee, without the provider being obligated to provide the service you're paying for. Their terms do not require them to adhere to any release schedule or anything showing that by paying a subscription you're getting X. It's basically a recurring donation in hopes the software you paid for gets an update.
It looks like these are all monospaced fonts.

I realize that most programmers use monospaced fonts, but I personally find proportional fonts to be much more readable and pleasing to my eye. I would be really interested in a similar font comparison that included proportional fonts that are suitable for programming.

Right now my favorite is Trebuchet MS. This renders beautifully on the high-DPI displays I use, and it has easily-distinguished glyphs for the common mistakables like Il|. Its tilde is not very good though, so I used a font editor to swap in a better one.

But I'm always interested to hear about other options!

When I do have to use a monospaced font (e.g. in a terminal window), Liberation Mono is my favorite. Definitely worth a look if you like monospaced fonts.

“I liked the resolution of the 30-inch monitors, which is 2560 by 1600 pixels. That is 100.63 pixels per inch (PPI).” AND it was very easy on the eyes. My ten years old 30” seems to have blown a cap so I’m on the market for a new one. The 43” seems like a great alternative. Especially because 30” became only 50% cheaper over the 10 years, that means they are still (over) expensive.
He increased the value of the company as well, as he diversified it and made it "stronger". Also, he bought it from the public at a premium so they also made good money off of it. And he also increased his stake, dunno how that happened though ...
This is why you pay the bonuses and pay the severance and pay the health insurance for 6 months. That way you don’t act like an asshole.
It's a matter of oversight, transparency, accountability and motivation.
In the case of Google, they have very little oversight, nearly zero transparency, they are accountable to only their shareholders, and their motives are exclusively profit.

They have no interest, or even means of producing, a publically good internet. They can and will only produce an internet that is best suited to make them money. And with that there will be inherent conflicts with what is best for the users.

At least with a government you get some of the transparency and oversight, public control and no profit motive (if you cap campaign financing that is)

Some organization structures are better suited to do different things.
Every business owner should know their mistakes in staff augmentation and what they should do to retain their new hires. You may not be aware of it, but you may be committing some serious onboarding mistakes for new hires that are driving your new hires away.

Most Silicon Valley companies, including FAANGs, pay less to people outside the Bay Area. Some of them have an official HR policy of doing so and have standardized the salary adjustments for the other cities where they have offices.

Even if you are already at a FAANG in Silicon Valley, you will likely get your salary adjusted down by the standard amount if you move somewhere else. You'd actually have more luck avoiding a pay cut at a startup because they almost always have less rigorous HR policies than FAANGs.
If you fail training or quit you should not get the bonus. If you were fired for cause same thing. That's on the employee.

But layoffs were coming and probably known, that was out of the employee's control. Pay the damn bonus as goodwill.

Does a company want a reputation of "yeah they hired me but unfortunately with cutbacks I was new, but they made good on their promises even though I hadn't been there long enough"

Or "they hired me, enticed me with a signing bonus and then didn't bother making good, fuck that company"

I don't care if the contract specifically allowed that, it will leave a bitter taste in that employee's mouth. And it will be repeated regardless of the original contract. Reputation matters more than some line in a contract.
I wish this would get a lot more attention. The world could be rather simple, majority of people would just be happy with a straight forward process. What annoys me is not the money I have to spend on filing taxes nor to pay my fair share, but the actual time I waste every year doing so.
Out of curiosity, did you ever track down the reason of your miscalculation? I agree tax forms have many moving parts, but at the end of the day is math, so you should be able to exactly redo the calculations and see where you or TurboTax screwed up.
Exactly! You can't really call Microsoft stupid for trying to run their business instead of taking all its money and putting it in an index fund. That argument is so strange

No, they are not the same thing. You pay VAT on the value added at each part of the process. So a retailer pays VAT to their wholesaler, unlike American state sales tax systems.
Except if they decide they don't have any updates to release for a month you just paid them for a month of nothing.

The issue with a subscription for self-hosted or locally ran software is that you are obligated to pay an ongoing fee, without the provider being obligated to provide any service in return.

Imagine if your OS required a subscription for your computer to be usable, even when the developer of your OS doesn't release any updates that benefit or affect you for months, if you don't keep paying your subscription you get locked out of all of your work for no reason other than some marketing douche thought it'd be a good way to squeeze a more regular revenue stream out of their existing customers?

> " The CO2 emissions from constructing a several hundred mile long concrete or steel border would be enormous. (Steel is also a major emissions source.)"

You probably don't hear this approach taken very often because most people won't consider it persuasive when they remember that we have nearly 50,000 miles of interstate highway and many many times more miles of lesser highways and roads. The concrete and steel needed for a couple hundred miles of wall would be a drop in the bucket of infrastructural concrete and steel across the country.

You can of course argue that every drop counts, but that sort of argument isn't going to impress many people, which explains why you don't hear it very often. Arguments against the necessity of the wall have more bite.
Having a typo cheat sheet now: to some extent, maybe, though I didn't mean (just) the learning that's, in student's mind, explicitly motivated by desire to sleep with someone. I meant primarily the kind of implicit change that I've both observed and experienced to happen when one starts having romantic feelings - suddenly everything that's related to the other person gets much more interesting, including school subjects one believes the other person seems to like.

As for exploiting this, or a bunch of other "nonstandard" sources of motivation, I worry in practice about what I personally call "educational games problem" - both teens and adults quickly notice when all you're doing is sprinkle some artificial "fun" on top of the same old drudgery. They're not tricked by it. It's the education part, not motivation part, that has to be secondary and sneaked in, for the whole thing to work. That's why you can get 12-yo to study undergrad-level physics as a side effect of Kerbal Space Program - they naturally learn to get better at the activity they find intrinsically rewarding.
If you think you pay to much, file your own return. For majority of people it's just a waste of time, and I think IRS would nail the numbers pretty accurately for at least 60-80% of folks.
My favourite for a few years now is a commercial font, Triplicate. It’s a true serif monospace font; every other monospace font I’ve encountered that is labelled “serif” is actually a slab serif. It has a proper italic face as well, which is a less rare, but it’s a functional italic face rather than ornamental.

It comes with some interesting variants, most notably Poly which is not fully monospaced, adjusting the widths of characters like i to be a little narrower, and W to be a little wider. I like to use that for code display.

I agree, some better UI for end users would be awesome: Kubernetes Dashboard kind of works, but is pretty limited and more a "kubectl in the browser".

From a book I read years ago:

"a 1987 survey of cardiac arrests at the Menninger Clinic (quoted with great regularity in Rodale Press's various publications) reported that all heart attack victims represented in that survey sample were high chest breathers"

As opposed to belly/abodminal breathers. I can't find the actual survey though.
