It’s a hobby like anything else. Why do people prefer stick/manual to automatic? Same thing imo. It’s just a little more “real” and involved with a hobbyist setup. I do enjoy the sound a little bit better but also the mastering is often different between digital and analog.

I think that I am not a mystic if by mysticism you mean something like "forsaking logic and science for delusion".

I am a mystic, however, in the sense that while I have enormous respect for logic and scientific method, and I am usually one of the most scientific-minded and skeptical people in whatever environment I am in, I do not assume that science is capable of solving all mysteries of reality.

I see no contradiction between physics, on the one hand, and thinking that consciousness may be irreducible to physics, on the other hand.

There is no reason to assume that the nature of consciousness is in principle accessible to scientific investigation.

It may be that there is some fundamental limit that prevents us conscious beings from grasping the nature of consciousness - and that's if there is anything to grasp in the first place. Maybe consciousness is essentially axiomatic and irreducible.

I have loved science since I was young, but to assume that everything about reality is accessible to scientific inquiry and/or physical explanation is dogmatic, unscientific.
For me, it's not about the sound. A clean record played with a quality stylus sounds about the same as a digital recording.

However, you get a physical copy with full-size artwork, and it's a chance to support the artist directly.
It wasn't exactly like JSX, more powerful as the XML was just another program data type to work with like strings and arrays.
No, the internet originally was funded almost exclusively by public money (US military and CERN being some of the biggest contributors), and there is basically no such thing as "privately funded defense researchers" - almost by definition, defense research is funded by public money, or at least by private investors looking to get their money back by selling to the state. Universities also tend to do research funded by outside grants, which in the early days of computer technology were, again, almost exclusively public US military budgets.

GPS is a public utility, as are GLONASS and Galileo, so I'm not even sure what "privately funded geolocation satellites" you are talking about.

Regardless, your claim was a universal (the state is worse at providing ALL services) so showing some services which the state is much better at providing is enough to prove you were wrong.

>Building a team of collaborators with a baseline of technical aptitude and a willingness to learn is what most people should strive for.

What I meant to say is, your philosophy of building teams is for inferior managers. People who cannot perform above the baseline.

Normal and high performing managers always strive for hitting something above the baseline. Not to be insulting, but logically if you think this way than you must be inferior. Just speaking out of pure logic, no malice intended.
Must say I am glad about that. It confused me when I first discovered this and was told it was not a bug

Your edit -- is this a cut and paste admonition that you send to anyone? I think if you look at my previous contributions, they are far from "ideological" and in fact contribute a lot of information. In a previous moderation, you took the position that pointing out the flaws in someone's argument was a personal attack. That is a concerning use of moderation discretion. On this above post, I concede that I was not being respectful to the person who was being so snarky and angry to begin with.

Jeffrey Snover[1] likes to say that "Microsoft is incapable of sustained error", yet they've been incapable of building a good search for at least 15-20 years that I've experienced. Bing search is no competitor to Google, Explorer filesystem search is slow and untrustworthy, the search which integrates desktops to Windows server indexing of fileshares is slow and untrustworthy, on-premises SharePoint search has never worked well for finding documents for me, Start Menu search is the worst at matching plain text strings in short names year after year, Windows version after Windows version, local Outlook Search wasn't great, Outlook search backed by Exchange isn't great, and it goes easily back to Joel on Software's blog post[2] of 2004 where he says

> Just do me a favor and search the damned hard drive, quickly, for the string I typed, using full-text indexes and other technologies that were boring in 1973.

Does there need to be an objective explanation? Some populations have even embraced the cassette tape medium. The physical medium itself (and not the quality of the recordings, or the fidelity of the audio on its associated players) can be enough to be compelling.
To my knowledge, in small volumes vinyl is cheaper to produce than CDs. So, if you want to get a physical medium, it might be the only choice.
I still use Launchy on Windows 10, alongside the native search. The plugins Launchy has like for Putty integration make it invaluable.

It's a shame it's no longer developed.
Google's business model is to sell consumers to advertisers as efficiently as possible. Android makes money for Google by achieving that (plus a little extra from the app store). If Google were somehow forced to stop collecting data from Android devices, they would have no reason to continue developing Android (and the same will be true of Fuchsia).

Apple on the other hand makes its money from sales of its hardware and from their 30% cut of the much more profitable App Store. They are likely also collecting data and probably extracting value from that as well, and they are certainly allowing other companies (such as Google and Facebook) to release their data-collecting apps on their platform; but if data collection was entirely prohibited starting tomorrow, Apple would still be selling and developing iOS.

F/OSS is not a good in itself. Technology is technology. A F/OSS data collection program is exactly as bad as a proprietary data collection program - the purpose is much, much more relevant than the development model, in the grand scheme.

So sure, I have nothing against Android itself (I prefer it to iOS personally). But if attacking the data collection model had to cause the end of Android, I would accept that in a heartbeat, and I think most privacy advocates would as well.
Java has many types of Map, Set, and List implementations. And that's just in the core library. Here are some Map implementations that come with Java: TreeMap, a HashMap, A LinkedHashMap, ConcurrentHashMap, EnumMap. There are many more and they each have their own uses, features, and performance/memory characteristics.

I always wondered why languages like ruby, javascript, and python don't include a bit more choice on this front. It seems like sets are still somewhat of a novelty for javascript developers and people just wing it with half-assed solutions involving stupid O(N) contains operations.
Personally, as soon as people don't claim it sounds "better" I have no issue with it.

(The caveat, of course, is that some recordings only release properly mastered version on vinyl. Nothing stops the recording company to release the same version on digital media, they just don't.)
Ah, right. I don't see an automated system seeing things about me as an intrusion until it has implications about me. For instance, I imagine if someone dev-nulled all telemetry but still had it running you'd consider it a privacy risk because your private data was exfiltrated but I wouldn't because no action was taken against me on private information.
Others have given good replies and I think they're mostly correct. But...

>I've listened to both, and the description of vinyl or even analog sound as being generally "warmer" never resonated with me.

I feel like this is the sofar unaddressed dimension. I grew up with my grandparents so I've heard a lot of vinyl by virtue of one of them having a love for classical music. When I was younger (29 atm) I felt like the audio quality was better on vinyl. Back then, in the Walkman days, it probably was.

Now...? I think digital gets good enough to fool most would-be audiophiles in a blind test. It fools me well enough for the most part anyway. That said, I think part of the appeal of vinyl is the simplicity of setup. A good home entertainment system is expensive and even more so if you lack the skills to coordinate and install it yourself. A solid sounding record player is far from cheap but it's a lot less intimidating or laborious than a hi-fi system and it contributes to the retro aesthetic as well.
Why would servers be involved in local search? But this raises a good point: mixing local and web search by default is stupid and confusing as well.

There are some genuine differences, but these are probably only discernible to a relatively small subset of humans, who have genuinely superior hearing to the rest of us - especially as we age. However, to the best of my understanding, the magic of vinyl also has to do with how some individuals consume music. From the appreciation of larger artwork on a physical medium to the act of making time for the process of listening to an album, almost like a little ritual - arguably helping the mind switch to “and now I’ll listen to good music and give it full attention” mode. While I don’t fit that demographic, I can definitely respect it.

The major disease most strongly associated with a known, avoidable risk factor that I can think of is lung cancer. And Wikipedia tells me that

> The vast majority (85%) of cases of lung cancer are due to long-term tobacco smoking.[4] About 10–15% of cases occur in people who have never smoked.[14] These cases are often caused by a combination of genetic factors and exposure to radon gas, asbestos, second-hand smoke, or other forms of air pollution.

So even for lung cancer, a significant minority of sufferers have never smoked. Genetic factors are obviously out of one's control, and the others mentioned can be pretty damn hard to avoid, especially if you're poor and/or born in the wrong place.
It's also trivially recycled, AIUI vinyl records can simply be shredded to bits and put right back into the pressing process to make new ones.

I saw a documentary a while back about a region where new local songs were pressed into records on a weekly basis, I think it was in Jamaica. The local music scene was highly ephemeral, and people's records were constantly being recycled for this week's new tunes.
I don't know why people here assumed that I thought a PC was only composed of the parts I listed (no case? honestly?). I just listed out what I thought would comprise 80% or so of the cost. Maybe it's 70%? GGP's estimate is still not far off.
It’s relatively easy to implement search - you need only minimize the Levenshtein distance between the search string and the file name string. The difficult part is actually indexing all file names and their string contents on the system. Grep is a different tool, mainly using regular expressions to match strings within files and I don’t think it is feasible to be continually loading the contents of all strings contained in all files into memory to perform fuzzy string matching.

The comparisons are valid because for 99% of the web apps out there, the makers could have gone with either angular or react.

That was a good read. This is what should be shared.

The entire world is going into a freaking panic over this. And they’re spewing out nonsense that the China government is lying, and their numbers cannot be trusted. Which doesn’t really help the situation, and it clouds the scientific understanding of this incident.

Then the 2 moronic scientific papers that were published whipped everyone up into a frenzy.

(1) The German paper said that people can transmit it asymptomatically, which means this is some kind of Frankenstein virus that can transmit over 14 days, and infect others when not showing any symptoms.

(2) The Indian paper that suggested that this virus was man-made, and thus fueled the conspiracy theories about it being a bio weapon. And this fed more fuel to the fire for #1.

Two scientific papers that were both terribly wrong!

And what was the result? It created mass panic.

So there you have it. Fake news that created real mass panic in the real world.

Some good highlights from this transcription were:

* This is like SARS, but less deadly. Yes, it is infectious and contagious, but it is also less deadly than SARS.

* The virus will likely burn out in May, because it doesn’t do well in warm and humid weathers. So Australia with its hot wildfires will be spared. Go take a vacation in the hot and dry outback of Australia everyone. You’ll be fine out there.

* The 2.2 reproductive R0 number is a perfect theoretical scenario, but it will likely not happen in this case, since China mandated the quarantine. And the entire country is a ghost town, with people wearing face masks in public, and avoiding any outdoor activities. This should help to slow the spread, and kill off the virus, like how SARS mysteriously disappeared.

So, governments around the world, need to be vigilant, and do what they can to contain the spread of the virus, but we should be ok. There is no need to panic right now. The fear is worse than the disease.

The leaders of the world needs to step forward and make regular public health announcements about this. And to calm the public down, and stick to known scientific facts and evidence.

Unfortunately, we have morons as our elected leaders.

Let's say you have a lamp behind your screen. The light will be visible on your screen in some way.

With a reflective screen, you'll see a reflection of lamp, bright and clear. I think everybody agrees that this is annoying.

With matte screen, the reflection isn't strong or clear, but a larger portion of the screen is affected, since the matte layer scatters the light.

With a anti-reflective but non-matte screen, you'll see a 1:1 reflection - but only very very dim.

In my experience across the Lenovo matte screens, and comparing it to MacBook screens, I found the latter to work better.

There's a significant difference between the MacBook and cheapo reflective screens.
Per user installs are unnecessary for most users. Firstly most machines are single user. In multi-user machines installing additional software/libraries system-wide has no downsides. If a particular piece of software can't be installed globally without conflicting with other software it probably needs stronger isolation than your user account and you have multiple better options to achieve this.

The sole case that leaves are cases in which your company doesn't allow you the necessary privileges to install software which is an organizational challenge not a technical one.

That said something like nix can allow you to install software per user.
