Can't say I did well on the test. Actually made a decision on 2 of them and got the 128kbps on one and WAV on the Suzanne Vega (which must have been luck). The rest I just clicked something to read the snippets. And I've got HD598

This is honestly a killer feature! I use Temporary Containers and load the AWS console in a fresh container automatically, making it very easy to switch between accounts and have multiple open at once. (Caveat emptor: be sure which account

Comparing the way Hollywood is going as compared to Spotify, imagine if each of the big three music companies (Universal, Warner, and Sony) had their own streaming services. Unline movies though, nobody usually cares what label their favori

I've been using pyright for a couple of weeks because other LSP backends for Emacs weren't working well and only pyright seems to have any future. I am quite happy with its fast and effective type checking and it's not very h

I've trained in HEMA, in the German Kunst des Fechtens tradition for about 3 years (this past year, not much). Wiktenaur is my primary resource for sources. It's a brilliant website. They've also published a 3-part side-by-si

I think that the author of the article specifically speaking of configuration DSLs that were intended to be Turing-incomplete but somehow grew full Turing-completeness and therefore became bastard languages. YAML as a config DSL is sub-par

Since when was India a nation? It's got dozens of languages, two major religions (one of which is more of an ecumenical blending of ancient practices), and many ethnic groups and cultural norms. A nation is by definition homogeneous or
