I run what I consider to be "good high-end gear" and am surprised that I cannot even tell the difference between 128kbps and 320 kbps, let alone lossless...

If becoming billionaire and being elected president of the USA is "not accomplishing anything", then I'll start hoping I won't accomplish anything in my life.

Agree, this knowledge is unnecessary. The first thing I did was use curl to check if it's a client or server problem. Then I looked at the code and immediately noticed the unnecessary flush call, the unnecessary loading of the whole fi

I have friends who got married with a steampunk-cosplay ceremony/party, so a marriage can definitely be HackerNews-compatible :)

> the systems and conventions need to change? I think that in many (most?) countries nowadays, marriage is already no more than just a legal status that offers those practical points, so I am not sure if anything needs to change. You don

That would definitely be great, and I'm also wondering why we don't actually have this. That said, given the current trends of our industry, I'm afraid that we will get connected microwaves that leaks private data and publish

The number of commits does not matter. What matters is the quality of it. My opinion is that each PR should be an independent and working unit. If you have a too-huge PR that can be subdivided, it almost always means you have multiple units

My experience is that status fields often end-up being a bad design. Status is an information you display, but it's not the actual data. Status fields that contains multiple information and features in a single value creates confusing

If we had invested in space exploration the same amount of resources we are investing in ads, tracking, finance and bitcoin, we would already have tourists in the asteroid belt, the climate/energy issue would be solved, and we would pr

I wish there was a standard one-liner pattern to handle errors, that would improve it a bit visually. Go has a LOT of boilerplate. And that is why I love it. No magic. No implicit behavior. No weird stuff that will bite me if I don't k

I left my last job after being paid doing nothing for more than 6 months. The management was terrible in so many ways, it would be too long to explain here. At first it was nice to spend my days on private stuff (I was "working" r

I created a fake Facebook account two years ago (no photo, no friends, fake name and random profile informations) just to be able to see the events around me. Ironically I never got banned, while I hear all those stories about legitimate us

If you want an orm that encourages you to use sql instead of abstracting it, you can look at my library: https://github.com/Seb-C/kiss-orm

I learned the Japanese word 黄色人種 (yellow race) from a Japanese women when I asked how to appropriately designate "asian people". (But it's definitely not the most common expression)

If FLoC ever becomes standard in Chrome, I'm definitely going to search for a way to sabotage their statistics by giving fake or random data points.

> Either your problem is worth a few hundred dollars a month or it isn't. That is totally wrong. Github's plans starts at $0, $4 and $21 dollars per month. Gitlab's plans start at $0 and $21 per month. Bitbucket's pla

I only want to avoid the vendor lock-in that means being in someone else's domain. I don't need any more features than standard github or gitlab actually.

Thanks. That's the only one I found as well, but that's very expensive.

If you take a train in France, you are almost guaranteed to be late. And if you buy a ticket in advance, you are basically making a risky bet on whether or not you will have to change your plans because of a strike.

I found it surprising too that the native library in Go does not follow this standard. Fortunately, there are alternative packages that does.

Interesting analogy, but the pessimistic view does not bring any progress. The optimistic view may often be wrong, but when it is actually right, it makes our civilization progress. Not so long ago, the experts knew and said it was impossib

Elon musk said a few years ago during a conference that he wasn't even allowed to hire non-US-citizens because of this.

I gave up to Firefox about a month ago and switched to Vivaldi. So far I'm not looking back. I would certainly have preferred to stick with a non-blink browser, but Mozilla won't stop remove features I like and making harmful chan

I totally agree with the views of the author. That is basically why I started to build an ORM that does not include a query builder. Best of both worlds. Now the design was far from easy, and keeping things reasonably simple without abstrac

I was going to say something similar. I'm convinced that it's possible to build a better search engine than Google by using community-influenced results, rather than try to do magic. I'd definitely pay for a search engine whe
