This isn't about videos I guess. I had parties where guests where demanding songs (every DJs dream) that I obviously didn't had on my drive. That gives you three options currently: 1. Tell them to fuck off, which may or may not wo

As a Mixxx user of 8 years with many life shows and even longer ones at home I have never had Mixxx crash on me, not even once. I had some UI annoyances, so I support the effort and trust the devs to make the right choice. Otherwise I can

I often handcode UI layouts and animations in C on embedded devices. I also use HTML and CSS a lot. Sometimes I prefer the raw simplicity of writing your own layout code. You then basically just need X/Y coordinates, anchor points and

So it isn't tech focused, because that use of tech is a politically controversial and ethically questionable? Yeah, no that is not how this works. We in tech also need to be able to talk about about how the systems we build impact the

Yes, sure, in theory. But the position we were filling was one with very little supervision and oversight, for room reasons. So basically one person in a room in a different building who has to maintain a bunch of stuff in addition to build

Thst is a badly phrased question. "What languages do you speak ?", would be the question to ask. Because even of you were thinking about spoken languages, what does "knowing" mean? I "know" Hungarian exists, I

If you answered me like that I would be happy, as it means you understood the defining characteristic of any interface is that it is the deliberate introduction of a systemic boundary to act as a bridge between two systems in the broadest s

I interviewed people and I would prefer a broad answer to a broad question. A broad question is an invitation for you to present me a selected platter of knowledge you have aquired about the various forms of interfaces. And the candidate wh

As someone who interviewed people for technical roles, I'd see that as a bad sign and answer: "Just tell me what you can think about." This isn't school where teachers give you trick questions and you fail if you misunde

As someone somewhat critical of LLMs, this is not quite correct. It is a true observation thwt any popular chatbots have a system prompt that give the resulting answers a certain yes-man quality. But that is not necessarily so. It is trivia

Probably a correct observation. Nobody is protected against believing excuses that conviniently ease the cognitive dissonance. That includes you and me. But the difference is of course that we are not hoarding resources in a world that woul

Good point. Since the idea behind method chaining is a bit like UNIX pipes anyways, it would be silly (and unexpected) if commands later in the chain affected parts that came before, so you basically output a new instance each time. In my e
