We're getting our audio onto Spotify via CDBaby's distribution program, and they require 44.1 kHZ/16 bit. (I initially tried uploading 24bit and they rejected it.)

What would you do differently mastering for a CD versus Spotify? (I'm in the middle of releasing an album, and we don't have different masters for these, but I could imagine that the situation is different for more professional gr

I completely agree with you. To handle this for my own situation I wrote https://www.jefftk.com/p/introducing-shrubgrazer but I'd much rather this was a feature of a real client and not my pile of hacks.

"The highway strips can be converted from motorways to airbases typically within 24 to 48 hours." Sounds like it wouldn't work for an emergency landing?

Say the company hiring you agreed to pay relocation expenses from NYC to SF. If they then learned you were actually already living in SF they wouldn't just give you the money.

Really? I've written a lot of python, though less recently, and this doesn't sound familiar at all. What's in 3.8 but not 3.11?

If you write to the (very extensive) standard library, though, none of this is an issue.

I'm confused about the compatibility X for Python. A few years ago, sure, but for an article published a month from now? You write python3 and it's installed everywhere.

Yes: start with experimental systems where people are, and then at some point when the tech is mature and really optimizing for costs you get into moving it out for cheap land and power.

Whether it was an "old-fashioned" term in 1961 doesn't have much bearing on whether we should use it now, though.

Could something like Facebook track which links you click on so they can try to show you ones you're likely to click on again in the future?

by jefftk 4y ago
