I don't want to ruin SOAD for you, but take for instance and rip Bad Statue from the Mezmerize album, look around 53 seconds, on mine it's 00:00:52.916 that's A LOT of samples just going flat all topped out, that's a clip, and the whole song is filled with them, it has these little clips all over which gives an overall sensation that someone had their gain juuust that little tad too high at some point, and it's just pretty hard to unhear..

A more jarring example (SOAD is kinda noisy anyway and it's easy to ignore), take "4th of july" by Amy MacDonald, pretty clean sounding song, and yet, her voice is just that tad over the top and it's popping, lots of times just 4-5 samples, but constantly, and the audible clipping is at the same place where they are on the waveform..

Luckily I'm not the only one who's noticed this, but I'm kind of surprised that people don't find it more of a problem.. https://www.reddit.com/r/systemofadown/comments/xdspsl/i_tri...

Here's an edited version without the clipping https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hg-5XUu6hWA see how his voice is less harsh (I'd say it's maybe overdone here, voice can be harsh just fine without the clipping sounds)

As long as you don't consider Play services bloatware, yes Pixel is quite clean. I'm still happy with a Pixel 5a. Camera is good enough even with that older model.

I like Android though because compared to others I know with iPhones, there seems to be more ways to customize Android. Termux is one obvious example -- with a BT keyboard, feels like a pocket Linux device. I also use a different launcher as well as different browser and search engine.
I believe https://sonemic.com/ is heading down that path.

For context, I am an _extremely_ happy user (and paying subscriber) of Rate Your Music . I find the genre classifications, album descriptors, user reviews and ratings incredibly useful and they have greatly enhanced my music discovery process, and my understanding of the music I come across.

> Intelligence did not grant this human mastery over chickens.

It most certainly did. They didn't bully the chickens into becoming livestock. They didn't beat them in wrestling contests. How exactly do you think our mastery occurred, if not through intelligence? Traps and seeking out secret nests. Building cages the chickens couldn't slink out of, or that predators couldn't dig into. Slowly breeding them tame, instilling which psychological traits we preferred.

I mean, if you can't understand this any other way, go with another example, the cow. Were humans stronger than cows?

> I very much doubt ChatGPT has any ability to shove me in a pen.

It'll ask you to go, and you'll be leaping at the chance. And you won't even remember that you once scoffed at the idea that you would.

> Can you convince the chicken to do anything you wish it to,

Yes. Using only words. I hire someone (using only words) to be my chicken wrangler. He uses basic principles of psychology. We could have it become the guidance system of a cruise missile, for instance. Someone already figured out that trick a few decades ago.

It's pretty trivial to work up the plan to convince the chicken to do anything that is within the capabilities of a chicken. With me using only words.
This is overly cynical. And what's the hate for tiktok?

Are healthy competition and several good options for consumers benefits of capitalism? If so, then this ain't capitalism.

"What even is a “known broken” technique — how do you establish that some technique “can’t work” rather than “just haven’t found a good execution” so far?"

If you insist on 100% certainty, nothing.

If you are satisfied with "millions upon millions of people have used this and it has been broadly revealed to be a dead end", then bowling certainly has a known-bad technique that is very appealing to people just picking up the ball for the first time.

But if you really, really want that 100% certainty, then by all means go forth and base your decisions about what to focus on on that.

If you set the bar at anything even remotely less than 100% certainty, though, you'll find there are known-bad techniques. Heck, there are techniques that aren't just known to not work, they are known to lead to injuries with high reliability; see the lifting world, for instance. There's a difference between being an iconoclast and refusing to learn from the experiences of others. From the outside they may look similar but they are not the same.

No, it's the other way around: GPL requires that all pieces required to compile the binary (the exact binary that triggers requirement for distributing source) needs to come along. IIUC if they distribute source as SRPMs, the .spec needs to be included and without limitations (legal or technical) that would prevent user from rebuilding the original software.

I helped a guy pick out cycling gloves one time when I was a mechanic. The palm of one of his hands was a wreck. I don't know if I pried or he volunteered it:

Slashed the hell out of his hand trying to push a stopper into lab glass. It broke and momentum carried his hand into the glass.

You might get lucky if a cylinder of glass breaks across the diameter in your hand. You will not get lucky if it breaks lengthwise under your hand.
The "problem" with Debian is the lifecycle. You get about a 12-24 months at most of security patches, and that's effectively it (the patching model after that is unreliable). That means you've got to allocate resources for upgrading/validating far more regularly than you would with other distributions. Depending on the size of your business, that could get really expensive and disruptive, for negligible benefit.

Canonical Ubuntu has a longer support on their LTS releases, and may be preferable. If you can get past annoyance with things like snaps.
Get used to it; we will soon be a part of China's "community of common destiny".
Why? Because you can only amortize something if you can afford it. You are labeling a lot of things as one-off items, but the reality is that the EDF is already heavy in debt that it will take a long time to even pay that off, and eventually there will be a straw that breaks the camel's back. And the price of new plants is such that it's a very heavy straw.

Is it really my opinion, or are the things I mentioned actually facts? There was no renewables industry before the Energiewende, Germany implemented a transparent way to fund its creation and the whole thing blew up worldwide. As a consequence of that, a whole lot of co2 emissions in the world were not only removed but prevented entirely. I don't know why anyone would call this a failure.

The North-South issue is discussed frequently, maybe not so much in the mainstream (although I honestly wouldn't know), but e.g. I see it mentioned in social media among people reporting on or dealing with energy. One of the proposals that made sense to me is that Germany should no longer have a single market and a single price, but several regions. This would force states that are blocking development like Bavaria to finally put up or shut up, e.g. either build more or pay more. Regardless of that it's clear there needs to be more grid buildout, it's really not the case this is not discussed.

That you ask me why this issue wasn't solved initially is I guess not an unexpected viewpoint considering the differences in the way France and Germany work. France is more centrally planned whereas the states hold a lot of say on regulations in Germany. For the sake of this discussion it's not important which way is better, but it just is like this and it makes no sense to solve problems in a way they're otherwise never solved. Also in the end the same questions could be raised for nuclear plants: why were any built before e.g. there was a plan to store nuclear waste? We are over 60 years into their commercial use and only a handful of countries even have a plan on what to do with it. A lot of money was spent on temporary storages worldwide, it would've been a lot cheaper to first solve the problem completely. So I'd dare say it's anyway not possible to solve problems completely before you actually did anything, so renewables shouldn't be kept to a non-existing standard.

> Life is not a machine

Why does this matter? The dependency on others is present regardless. The crow cannot photosynthesise, it ultimately depends on other entities which do. If we made a vat which produced food electrochemically from PV, that a mechanism is involved neither adds to nor subtracts from the crow. If an AI was transcribed from silicon to a bunch of neurons grown in a petri dish — or even by overriding and rewiring an organic crow brain — it neither adds to nor subtracts from the AI.

(If the AI isn't specially trained to keep the crow alive this will end badly, but that is a separate issue, and one that can be ignored because this is all hypothetical).

They have further hamstrung it recently by having it that non-moderators (or some euphemism for someone with such rights) can no longer add new books. I regularly read weird stuff not in their system and adding this extra barrier is disastrous.

I just checked back - that was a month ago, and I even made a forum post about the book that it be added, but nope, book's not there...it seems nobody has even looked at the post.

The lack of a desktop app is also not ideal. I use the 1Password app a fair amount.

One of the reasons I still use 1PW7 is that it's a native app. The move to Electron is a major culprit of the downgrade in quality 8 has seen. Unfortunately, the majority of its competitors are also Electron garbage.

For me it just isn't worth the risk of working somewhere that uses GCP. The high risk of there being financial issues when google announces something but also just the risk of that completely destroying a roadmap.

As I’ve moved into bigger companies over my career, I’ve become more held back by the processes in place and I am certainly way less effective than I could be. Code reviews take longer, there are political games to play and far too many meetings, managers want you writing lots of excess documentation for documentations sake instead of coding, spending lots of time on peer review discussions of those useless documents where the reviewers nitpick just to leave comments for their performance reviews, needing to jump through multiple layers of sign-offs from stakeholders for simple changes, etc. I mean, yes, small teams without that cruft will be more effective for the most part. I will probably move back to working for smaller companies soon and it will be a relief.
I don't think anyone is disputing that? Google isn't saying, for example, that you're violating CFAA or DMCA by blocking ads. They're just saying they're going to block you. That's their right.

Pyrex won't save you from shattering a cylinder in your hand. And this is the 2020's. You won't imagine how dumb companies can be. Check.

If this is the guy:

Then the fact that the inner cylinder is stainless steel means that if the glass shatters, you still have something supporting your hand. The inner cylinder might save you from life-altering lacerations to your hand. Might.

I'm not going to be the one to trust it. I've seen how much pressure people apply to aeropresses, and friends don't let friends push that hard on future shards of glass.

There are no IDEs that run on iPadOS, the best you can get is either a text editor with basic high lighting, or a “cloud” IDE. There’s also no way to install a runtime or compiler on iPadOS. Unless you’re already using some cloud based solution (in which case you should already be familiar with their pitfalls), it should be immediately apparent to most developers that their workflows aren’t going to run on an iPad. It doesn’t have the most basic tools that you would need, not even the ability to run the code that you write. People do use it, but the level of jankiness they’re accepting is immediately apparent, even if you’re only consulting the most vocal advocates. I also considered this when I saw how cool the iPad Pro looked, but it barely took more than a couple of minutes to figure out that it wasn’t worth trying.
