They actually removed all the features that i used all the time. You can't shuffle all songs in your library anymore, since they removed the songs tab completely. There used to be a workaround with a playlist of all your liked songs (w

I disagree. None of the things AI or mathematics do are humanly impossible. In fact most things are better done by humans, because they understand context, which most AI/ML currently doesn't. AI is great for tasks that can be done

I don't think alcohols consequences are more immediate or obvious to most people. It's also much more physically addicting in that your body needs it to function at some point. I personally know two people that are schizophrenic a

I don't really understand the need for developers to find some real world scenario or situation that they can use as analogy. Impedance mismatch is a physical thing, it creates physical problems that are based on laws in nature. Having

The divide between online and offline is fairly simple. Online you're not in a physical space with other people that can punch you or confront or arrest you. Sadly for many humans, that immediately sucks all the accountybility and resp

It's still happening. Half of the students here think CS is about games and fun, once they realize it's maths and pretty dry stuff they switch to something else.

"The west" is getting exploited by those companies aswell. They don't really pay many taxes and abuse every loop hole they can. Humans just can't ever play fair and be content with anything, they just always need to push

Germany has that too. Even on paper, since you could copy pages under copyright.

Says a lot about the users, when they request an existing feature without trying to do it. I mean it's a simple drag and drop. How do you not try that before? :D

I think he explained it a little better. I totally understand that you'll learn to identify which frequencies and sounds belong to which instrument and in turn learn to identify when those are missing. I guess that also teaches your ea

I think i understand what you mean. Comparing two orchestras can be similar to comparing a recording in MP3 to FLAC. I think i get the point in that learning to listen to those details and recognize frequencies can enhance your ability to s

Of course you can train your ears, to be able to hear more detail and learn to differentiate and identify frequencies. That'll definitely help with hearing differences between two tracks. But i don't think you can compare live mus

by drw85 5y ago
But that still had nothing to do with comparing lossy vs lossless, or am I misunderstanding you? How does a live performance that you hear with your ears at a specific place in a room help you pick out missing parts in a different recording

I'd love a browser like that and we used to have something like that. If you wanted a specific feature, you'd install an extension / plugin. Software has been going that way since forever, just think back to Nero Burning Rom.

Quick, we need to make a video with some up to date memes in it. Seriously, the video didn't even show anything. I have no idea what'll change based on that jump cut fest.

In Brazil, everything uses WhatsApp. Doctors, banks, lawyers. It's almost the sole means of communication over there.

One very important skill as a developer, doesn't matter if Frontend or Backend, is to be able to find solutions when you run into problems or hickups. Nobody can cover all those things, since they are very much individual problems. You

Many OS projects get contributions from people using them at work. They use their work time paid for by their employer to report or fix bugs that they encountered while using them in development.

I 100% agree. I would love something like very simplistic markup, doesn't even have to be HTML. Just something to inline some images and differentiate text. Everything else is just horrible. I get so many emails with basically websites

by drw85 5y ago
I think there is a similarity, though. As a customer or buyer, you don't know if Tesla will ever be able to do L5 self driving. Neither does someone spending 1k dollars on items in a video game ever know if it'll actually be don

I think HTML emails are unnecessary. It's only useful for advertising, marketing and tracking. If you want to show fancy css and design, link a website. If email was used as what it was designed for, writing electronic letters to

Investors and customers don't pay for pessimistic explanations. They want someone to say it'll happen and many people are okay paying for it then. Just take a look at kickstarter and things like Star Citizen. They still make h

I'm not against Mozilla or for Google or anything. All i'm saying is, just because there is a bad actor doesn't make the other one good. I see the same thing everywhere these days. In politics, in the tech sphere etc. P

Mozilla included an add-on called Cliqz, which was activated by default in 1% of downloads. They are a company run by marketing and sold as philanthropists. Which works very well, especially in the tech sphere.

It's always the same reaction here: "use Firefox". Mozilla are in the exact same business and are collecting, using and selling your data. They literally bought several companies that click-track and included their software i

This oversimplifies things a little. Many things can trigger your brain to react in a similar fashion than during a traumatic experience. You can also be aware that the experience is not the same or unrelated, but you'll still get a pa

They're not talking about anxiety that makes sense here. You being scared of your sister dying makes sense. They're talking about irrational anxiety, like having a panic attack, because your stomach feels slightly funny, or becaus

I think a different problem is, that it's not so clear why these weapons are being made or used. I think the main motivator in almost all of those things is money. The reason for wars is money, they just get justified by "the grea
