> Do female audiophiles face the same adversities as women in tech?

How would that work? There isn't even any opportunity to be excluded from being an audiophile.

It's the exact same thing that accounts for a lot of the discrepancy between men and women in professional tech: the fact that men, on average, like gadgets more than women.
actually, I meant the other way around. Run Ubuntu Core on snappy - you have published KVM images and Azure (!!) images... but not for Docker.

It's $5. For what is essentially an infinite supply of high resolution photos of art. $5.

Yes, I know that you are special and you can replicate this with Perl + LWP to crawl and fetch these images and a cron job to blahblahblah [snore]

Stop that. $5. Artwork. And it exists and works right now! You can buy it with 1 click and have virtually unlimited art.

I honestly cannot relate to people who would so undervalue their time. For a Mac app. Honestly I wish I could pay the OP twice.
How is this different from how emacs does it?
Is your second question independent or leading from the first? If the latter, then you realize that just because there is a lack of certain demographics in a group does not necessarily mean it is due to adversities, right? There could be countless reasons.

As for what those reasons are, tech enthusiast communities of all sorts tend to be predominantly male. I don't think it's anything particular to audio. I agree that I was a bit surprised at how overwhelmingly male the sample was, though.
Just returned to suggest the same thing. Perhaps the difference being that Ubuntu Core doesn't seem to be built exclusively for Docker, but rather to work with it and it's competitors.

Keurig is in the position that they can attach a number to each one of their coffee cups, and the machine will refuse to brew if the number doesn't prove the cup is authentic. If they give all the cups the same number, as they apparently have chosen here, than all anyone has to do is present that number again, and voila, the coffeemaker will execute whatever cup they feed it.

Maybe they get smart and give each and every cup a different password. Of course the machines have to recognize these passwords, so they have to start with a known list of length N, where N is the total number coffee cups they ever expect to sell for this line of machines. They put all these passwords through their favorite one-way function, stuff the hashes in a newline-delimited text file, and hope it fits in a few gigabytes. Now once the machine encounters a matching password, it brews one cup, but "crosses off" that password and won't brew for it again.

Is it okay for a Senior Technical Architect to know nothing about writing code?
Is it okay to not know what you're doing as a senior technical architect? In a dream I worked with someone who worked on software for a couple years and never committed anything. He lost the source so had to decompile the build and start building on that. He took code from the codebase, copied and pasted it, commented some stuff out and then checked in literally copied and pasted code with changed log statements. He didn't understand there was a problem with duplicating code like that. How does this happen? How does a senior architect get to that level and have absolutely no development experience.
Yeah, unicode with NSTableViews is tricky. To be fixed!
Australian gov announces filtering of sites aiding copyright infringement [pdf]
Should reactively download precompiled javascript too.
Our son was in a cooperative preschool for a while, so I got to see it in action a number of times. They weren't teaching literacy either. The main focus of the classes were developing the skills you need to be able to function in kindergarten -- things like doing what the teacher tells you, raising your hand, being quiet, playing nicely with the other kids, etc. There was basic learning of the alphabet and numbers. Generalized world knowledge. And lots of play time.

That said, my impression would certainly be that the numbers and/or patterns work (which I would consider low-level fundamental math stuff) amounted to more than one minute a day.
Its not about NSTableView. It's things like:

- Gray boxes around some controls, not around others

- Control layout. What's up with that sea of nothingness in the top right?

- No titles/labels for each odd grouping of controls

- I'm seeing horizontal scroll bars something in the tables, but the text isn't wide enough to need a scroll bar (Yosemite)

- OK button just kind of sitting in the middle?

- No cancel/revert function

- No standard window "close" button, just minimize or that weird "OK"

This is just a bad setting screen layout with really unpolished design. It looks like controls were just dragging and dropped in interface builder. I would suggest that you go and look at the settings dialogs other Mac apps like Mail, etc.

This analysis and the xkcd one linked below both neglect the concept of staging - which could get you higher.

Six years after Odyssey I bought a 'pong' game that was the size of maybe the size of two packs of cigarettes with two sets of paddles.

There are some questionable assertions in this article. eg,

"Survivors of the Hiroshima and Nagasaki bombings had lower cancer rates later in life than people of similar age who had not been exposed to radiation " has the ref http://informahealthcare.com/doi/abs/10.1080/095530006010859...

which a) has nothing to do with Hiroshima or Nagasaki, and b) found that low dose radiation in fact increased cancer risk (shock!):

"The results suggest that prolonged low dose-rate radiation exposure appeared to increase risks of developing certain cancers in specific subgroups of this population in Taiwan."
That would allow the subject to easily tell the difference between the two samples by looking to see which had all 0's in the 4 lowest bits.

With all the comments author makes about nonstandard and crazy behaviour, he actually misses some practical solutions and makes fun of them.

"The one operation that was not observed was substracting the pid from the time. More research into this subject is warranted."

It's actually simple (even if still not effective on pid wraparound) - pid numbers grow, at a rate of at least 1 per program execution. Time grows at around 1 second per second. If you substituted pid from time, there's a good chance you would get the same seed by running the app twice in a row.

So it's added instead, so that it always grows. And we pretend the wraparound happens very rarely.

Broken behaviour? Sure. Practical solution that works for 99% cases where non-critical randomness is required? Definitely.

I could ask you the same question. Do you think you're going to convince people who think terrorism is an existential threat that torture is not acceptable, no exceptions? I doubt it. Rather, you're here to express your sentiment on the subject. I'm just expressing mine.

Anyway, at no point did I ever say we should torture anyone. In fact I said exactly the opposite in response to 'angibrowl. But at the end of the day I have better places to use my limited moral outrage than on how Khalid Sheik Mohammad was treated.

To be honest, what really kept me participating in this thread is the comparison to Japanese and Jewish persecution. I just can't understand the point of view of people who focus on the action alone, to the exclusion of who is the target of the action. I think it matters that these guys are scumbags.

Slight problem - DXD is not PCM. It's downsampled DSD, which isn't a true PCM format and is of debatable value in a bit-depth test.

DSD uses single-bit delta-sigma modulation at a very high sample rate. You have to downconvert it before you can hear it, and this adds noise/dither/distortion. One of the problems with DSD is that it's not entirely clear what useful bit-depth you're left with after downsampling, because there are theoretical reasons for criticising one-bit sampling. See e.g.

http://sjeng.org/ftp/SACD.pdf

A useful test would start with high quality unmastered and unprocessed 24-bit PCM recordings and A/B them with 16-bit downconversions. (Remember, even orchestral recordings are mixed in a studio and the individual stems usually have some dynamic processing and gain riding, even if it's not as obvious as dance music pumping.)

I'd expect a test like this to use a bit meter like Bitter to confirm there's useful information in the lower bits, and not just rely on a vague estimate of the dynamic range.

http://www.stillwellaudio.com/plugins/bitter/

Ironically, all of the reviews of the Bozza track say that the BluRay audio version sounds cleaner than the SACD source used here. (I have no idea if this is true. But if someone has both and wants to do a blind A/B, that would be interesting.)

It's also worth mentioning there are easy-to-find test tones you can use to check how clean your audio hardware is at extreme sample rates. They're not directly relevant to bit-depth tests, but they're a good torture test for audio.

i run a hosting company. or - i guess 'cloud computing' is what they call it these days.

a huge number of our sales conversations are people who spend $50k+ on aws or something similar, but are scared shitless to move off of it because they don't know what they're doing and their trusted technical advisors got them into the situation they're in. you literally have to talk them down, like a kitten that climbed up a tree and can't get back down.

imagine amazon had your business by the balls to the tune of $1M/year and the cost is increasing faster than your business can sustain, and you have no idea what hosting really is, or how it actually works. this happens. a lot. there are a lot of very lucky people out there who build incredibly successful businesses with a trail of terrible decisions.

for what it's worth, we've figured out the threshold is basically $10k. if you're spending over 10k on amazon, you might just be doing it because it's convenient, not because you have any idea of what you're doing, either technically or from a P&L perspective.
