I buy music on Bandcamp in flac. This way I can do what I want with it and store it in perpetuity. I'm not interested in going back to physical media but I like owning the music I care about instead of just renting it.

This is the main reason I prefer it to Spotify.

The reality is most people struggle to distinguish 128kbit AAC from the original, especially in typical listening conditions.

I had the same problem. An automatic upgrade rendered my previously functional app unusable. After tapping around for a minute in frustration to try to find some way to dismiss the new subscription screen I deleted the app. I really do symp

If Python & Haskell had this I'd be more inclined to use both of them.

It's possible that Python might be more popular than it is without this feature. It's certainly one of the main reasons I avoid it.

Significant whitespace seems like a good idea and looks great in small examples but it has some very serious downsides in real use. Being able to reliably reformat hundreds of lines of code with a single keypress is far more valuable than a

Given that this case is likely to drag on for years it seems much more important to start it on as solid a legal footing as possible than to slip it past the wire before an election.

Attorney General William P. Barr, who was appointed by Mr. Trump, has played an unusually active role in the investigation. He pushed Justice Department lawyers to bring the case by the end of September, prompting pushback from attorneys w

Wasn’t the whole point of crypto that some centralized authority couldn’t do things like this?

Safari is far from a niche player on mobile. The last few US projects I’ve done were over 50% iOS safari.

How so? If I level up on data science and then go work somewhere as a data scientist and refuse to work on the tasks assigned to me I don't see that working out so well in my performance reviews. To the downvoters - grow up and learn t

Maybe so but I'm not really in a position to martyr myself professionally right now so I'm just avoiding it instead.

While I think data science is a very interesting field with a lot of beneficial applications it also seems to be the one that's right at the heart of a lot of the negative impact some tech is having on society right now. I seriously co

I try to buy a copy of records I really like off Bandcamp but if you look at the supporters list for even fairly popular albums it's pretty short. Do musicians make enough money off sales on Bandcamp to make a difference? I can't

In this race every horse is breaking every rule they can get away with and exploiting every advantage. If you suddenly want to jump in and start enforcing rules, which I think probably should happen, you need to be very careful that you don

Can't follow the logic there. If I don't jump in the middle of a horse race am I still picking a winner?

A lot of people noticed and I thought the gave a reasonable counter argument as to why this was not the case.

I think that goes too far. Google does have an agenda for the web but at least it includes the web. Apple would like nothing better for the entire internet to be locked down and controlled inside its app store. We're better off with An

I don't think IE6 really compares to Chrome. IE6 froze the web in time and made impossible for standards to evolve. Chrome may be in danger of becoming synonymous with the web but it's hardly standing still. In fact the most commo

I doubt their ability to regulate properly too. But it does seem like the big tech companies have failed to self-regulate.

by cageface 6y ago
That's the thing that makes me uneasy about this. I'm ok with some regulation of Google and perhaps even some kind of breakup. What I don't want to see is regulators picking winners and losers. I'm concerned about Google

Unnecessary because they can already force you to pass all monetary transactions through an app like WeChat and can track you all they want there. And let's not pretend that Apple has shown any willingness to stand up to the Chinese go

The point is that it should be up to the government to decide what limits should be put on speech in Telegram, not Apple.

This feels like a step beyond the control Apple has exercised over apps previously. Threatening your access to the app store because they don't like the way you're censoring user generated content is beyond the pale and should fin

Those enlightened people never conceived of a world where a lie could be spread to millions of people by anyone at the click of a button or spewed in volume by bots posing as people.
