I agree, that listening to a well crafted, thought out album is a great experience and something I very much enjoy.

But on the other hand, given just how much society has devalued recorded music, these days, I don't think it makes much sense for artist to produce complete albums unless they already have a very well established name and are well funded. Producing say a hour of coherent music to be played in order is significantly more effort and cost than "just" producing the equivalent length in independent songs. Also with albums you have longer periods where you don't have much to publish to gain attention vs continuous releases.

I was active semi professionally in music and we self released 3 LPs and 4 EPs. I don't think I would ever do an LP again without essentially being in a position where I don't really rely on whether it makes money or not, and have the luxury to be able to care about artistic vision alone.

I'd love a great way to listen to a playlist albums.

I think Ozzy said it best when he said when you bought a record usually there were often some songs you didn't like, but after listening to the album a few times they became some of your favorites.

Ignoring that there is more to life than making as much money as possible, I'm currently working remotely for a company based in one of these areas and doing quite well, so I guess I can "play with the pros", but what possible advantage do I get by giving up my $1k/month mortgage and no commute to go pay twice that for a studio apartment and a traffic jam?
What is the benefit accrued from stigmatizing the unvaccinated?

From where I'm sitting in Montana, with no mandates, low vaccine uptake, and nobody giving a crap about the "OMG CASES THE CASES", the firmament remains.
Of all the metrics we have mortality is the least likely to suffer from these problems: death is eminently measurable, and won’t be fudged by wishful thinking, expectations, or placebo effects. Outright manipulation is hard, because you can just count the fresh graves in the cemetery to get a good estimate, because it’s is such an important event, and also because there are laws and a bureaucracy for measuring it. And it gets awfully close to what you really want, living long & happy. While it doesn’t measure happiness, every study on happiness shows that it is relatively resilient to changes in circumstances. Therefore, avoiding death is less of a proxy and more of a real thing than anything Google Anaytics will ever tell you.
At the same time, we vaccinate to protect us collectively, and those with legitimate reasons to abstain can be respected. We are supposed to have margins that allow for this.
Would you say introversion and social anxiety are two distinct phenomena? I always viewed these as existing on the same spectrum.
"Yeah, I am not crazy" ... "I learned this from the show" - Pick one. Like other commenters said he provides VERY biased view of any issue that he covers.

This is a very charitable reading of the [dead] comments. In spite of that, I think I agree with your final point:

“It is, of course, ludicrous on its face as traits such as race are in fact truly immutable, whereas a decision whether or not to vaccinate is certainly subject to change up until onset of illness leading to death.”

I don't think introversion/extroversion is a useful categorisation. Because I think it boil down just to what type of people or social situation one likes/dislikes. Introverts are uncomfortable with wider spectrum of people/situations, but they still do just fine/normally amongst people they like.
Yes, I sometimes wonder if I have "social impostor syndrome", and if this is what causes all the energy drainage.

This is absolutely true. Rights are also responsibilities.

Inasmuch as you have a right to authorize or deny medical procedures on your own body, you are responsible for how your own body affects those around you. When you allow your body to become a vector for transmission you bear responsibility for spreading the disease.
If you get vaccinated is a choice heavily correlated to skin color, at least in my neck of the woods. Less than 40% of black men are vaccinated here, and conspiracies that covid-19 was created by Israel so that they could create the vaccine so that they could sterilize black men are aired on the radio. (There was an anti vax program and a pro vax program, but like, what could some moderate pastor say to respond to that? I don’t think that’s true?)

You would notice as soon as you turned on your car. It would sound like a roaring sound from under your car and would get worse any time you give the engine more fuel. You can drive a car without a catalytic converter but it is almost universally illegal and you assuredly won't pass emissions.
> Or on the flip side, we can keep describing it as what it is, i.e an illness which largely inconveniences the vaccinated and jeopardizes the lives of those who are not.

Well actually, it largely inconveniences the unvaccinated /and/ the vaccinated. The difference in severity comes with age. Older people and babies are far more susceptible to the virus than are children and adults.

The amount of people who truly can't vaccinate is probably small enough that someone who is exercising their right to choose is probably not going to take beds from those who could not get the vaccine.

They Might Be Giants, "Apollo 18", 1992.

'Apollo 18 is an unusual album, mainly due to the "Fingertips" tracks: 21 short songs which average about 13 seconds in length. The liner notes state "The indexing of this disc is designed to complement the Shuffle Mode of modern CD players."'

There's further discussion at http://tmbw.net/wiki/Apollo_18 of interactions with streaming services.
It is hard to do relevant tests of which language is the fastest.

Really, writing fast code is mostly down to the programmer. For example C is widely recognized as the fastest non-assembly language simply because it leaves a lot to the programmer, C won't magically make your terrible code fast, unless you are using time-to-segfault as a metric. Assembly is the fastest if you know what you are doing, very few know what they are doing.

So, what kind of code are you going to use for your benchmark? Highly optimized code written by experts spending way too much time, the "most idiomatic" code, code written by an average skilled programmer picked at random, code extracted from a big open source project? This can drastically change the ranking, so which one is the most relevant? If you go with the "most idiomatic" for instance, you miss out on the idea that parts can be optimized if needed, and that in real life, programmers aren't perfect and can write suboptimal code by mistake.

There is also a cultural aspect to languages that may not be caught in benchmarks. For example, C programmers tend to have a culture of performance, they tend to know about their hardware, will try to save memory, make data structure efficient, etc... Python programmers, not so much, instead they tend to value readability and development time.

You can't test languages like you test CPUs for instance. With CPUs, you just run the same code on them and time them. You can't do that for obvious reasons: your C compiler won't accept your Python code, it is necessarily an apples to oranges comparison.

While vaccine hesistancy is at crazy levels, the so called scientists that get invited to news are regularly underreporting the seriousness of possible side effects of COVID vaccines, which can add to the hesistancy. Of course it's still much better than getting the virus itself, but it's usually not explained honestly in the media.
Forced arbitration and for the sake of my own mental health. I just don't want anything to do with this company anymore.
Only way to not spread this disease is quarantine and testing. Why aren't vaccinated doing that? Why are they so evil or callous that they take risk of spreading it? Why isn't there talk that anyone who wants to protect others must regularly take the test?

Yes. The more you shy away from big gatherings, the harder it becomes to decode audio signals in noisy environments. It also doesn't help if you're much smaller or taller than other people.
And it’s protecting those same innunocompromised people that requires everyone who can take a vaccine to do so. You can’t be both pro-care for the innunocompromised and anti-vaccine for reasons other than destructive politics.

“In 2013, the park had done climate modeling that predicted extreme fires wouldn’t jeopardize sequoias for another 50 years, said Christy Brigham, chief of resource management and science at the two parks.

More bs. Droughts have always been common and the period they are talking about shouldn’t have broken any models created by halfway competent scientists.

> suboptimal choice

According to you.

Lots of decisions in life involve many factors. Ever get a job offer in a new city with more pay when you love your current job? So many things to consider, so many variables, means there's no "optimal" and universal decision. Your optimal is not someone else's.

In this case there are plenty of factors. Personal ones like:

* Have you already had and recovered from covid giving you far superior immunity than the short-term shot-based immunity?

* Are you likely to encounter covid if you rarely encounter many other humans in a rural location?
* Are you someone with high-risk of covid complication or not? That is, are you fit and healthy and young or old or fat or sickly?

* Do you encounter regularly people who are more vulnerable like grandparents or fat people?

Then less personal concerns, like how well you understand pharmaceutical dev. Three brand-spankin' new vaccine technologies with zero long-term safety data. (Sure the news says "PERFECTLY SAFE AND EFFECTIVE!" but we all know we can't know that--but we all have different perceptions of risk and risk tolerances.) Etc. Etc.

So engineer-y to just say, "Yes, I've boiled down the situation, here's the optimal solution."
Are wolf attacks on children a common issue? I don't think I've ever heard of that happening.
It is a position that goes against all available data. We should absolutely stigmatize stupidity. People making crowd-harming decisions despite available evidence should be shamed.

People stopped dying because of (their own) stupidity a long time ago. Selection can still occur if we stigmatize bad behaviors enough.

On the other hand, if we don't stigmatize it, people who are innocent of the sin of stupidity will be harmed. That said, selection would also do its good work in this case, just less effectively and with a sadder outcome for all.

The only way to have an intelligent nation that's pushing forward in terms of technological progress is to have a nation that embraces intelligence and shuns nonsensical stupidity.
Thieves stole the catalytic converter of our 1996 Mitsubishi last year. They can do this in ~1 minute and you don't realise it is missing until you start the motor and then you probably think something is broken instead it is missing.

Our car was very loud, we thought there might be a hole in the exhaust pipe. And the missing catalytic converter is indeed something like a hole. :-)
And we don't use it daily, as the city I live in is very bike friendly. So our car can stand here a whole week without getting moved.

Fixing it cost us I think between 700 to 1000 EUR, and I think we were lucky at that time. Because it was one of the first of the cases in our area and we were lucky to find a used one.
The cruel workaround that's playing counter to this is to diminish the person's life and freedoms until they take it out of desperation, and if they still don't give in; forsake the pretence of choice and mandate it anyway.

I thought the consensus was that they're distinct. In my case, I never experience any social anxiety (aside from public speaking) but I consider myself extremely introverted. I strongly prefer to be by myself doing solo activities, and never feel the need to see other people. But when I do encounter others, it's a perfectly comfortable experience and I can be as friendly and charming as anybody.
They Might Be Giants took the opposite tack regarding shuffle and leaned into it on their album Apollo 18 (their best, IMO):

> "Fingertips" is a series of 21 short tracks ranging in duration from four to 61 seconds, totaling 4:35. Referring to these tracks, the album's liner notes include the message "the indexing of this disc is designed to complement the Shuffle Mode of modern CD players". According to John Flansburgh, listening to the album on shuffle made a collage of songs, with the short fingertips interspersed among tracks of regular length. [1]

I'd say the USA is very specific because of so many places having such low population density. This is probably why Europe is most impacted by covid on paper: high population density, high urbanisation percentage and high levels of testing+reporting. Maybe it's worse in some high density poor countries but from what I understand they just pretend the problem does not exist

Hmm isn't Rails 6 giving this out of the box?
I've timed myself going through episodes where the guest spoke very fluently vs guests where I had to stop every few seconds to cut a filler word. The latter takes multiple hours longer which makes me think the time consuming part isn't the show notes, but the mechanical editing. Each note only takes about 30 seconds based on listening to the last few minutes of what was said.

It is mentally taxing though, it means during the whole editing process my brain is constantly identifying and removing filler content, listening for specific tech choices to tag, listening for specific references that could be interesting to link, listening for mentions of libraries to link and also digesting the main takeaway of what's being said to sum it up into a note. All of this happens in 1 pass during the editing process. I tried doing it in 2 passes where I only focused on mechanical editing the first time around and doing the show notes on the 2nd but it took longer in the end.

Maybe it is a discrepancy on who thinks that owns what.

Artists own their creations and maybe have the right of not wanting to call it their album if it is not shon as they want.
