I was not a fan of the Xperia. I'll try it again when they stop using LCD. The Nexus 5 looks larger than the iPhone 6/s, is it not? My favorite phone of all time was the Google Play Edition Samsung Galaxy S4, I wish they didn&#x27

I switched from android to Apple primarily because there wasn't a <5in phone from Android that I personally liked. 4.7in is still large, and I would gladly take something where I'm not at the risk of dropping the thing whenever

I don't expect who I voted for to be public record. I'm not a lawyer, but I don't believe this information is intended to be public record. There are risks of not only employers, but government workers and officials discrimin

The social aspect is what hurts the most. If you refuse to spend money (whether it be alcohol, coffee, or whatever) to meet with someone, you quickly run out of places to meet at. At the more metropolitan cities, luckily there are sometimes

We use Alpine Linux for our applications and I like it, and I too shudder at it being used for the entire production system. As a sysadmin, you can still administer the LTS distro that hosts the docker containers and whatever other pieces o

Can we just use the term "duck-typed" already? There's a significant difference between weakly-typed C, strongly-typed rust, and "strongly"-typed JavaScript/Ruby. Besides, weak-typing is relative. Javascript do

Agreed. I'd actually go through my Facebook feed and hide domains of clickbait articles. They spring up like weeds though. Unworthy and buzzfeed are not even scratching by the surface. I haven't been so good at it lately (just don

How do you even argue with someone who thinks that the average "big corporation" pays and looks like Google or Facebook? The vast majority of them aren't. That's my experience from working at them, interviewing at them,

I think Unreal Engine 4's Blueprints are a bit "too visual". They're difficult to manage at scale and, if anything, make understanding the "big picture" harder than just writing out code.

Thanks for this! This post flew under my radar, but I've been essentially writing my own es query constructor because of the sorry state of elastic.js. I'll definitely keep an eye on your project.

Do you use it for its player, or its cloud library? Music subscription was on my list. But, if you already have all the songs you'd listen to, and don't care for finding new music, what do you use it for?

I don't know if it's better, but it's easy. I rarely look at my last.fm scrobbles. For me it's about hearing a variety of good music while I'm banging out code, driving, or gaming. I sometimes use last.fm and hypema

Spotify is all about Music Discovery. It is: 1. a music recommendation engine 2. social sharing of playlists 3. a music subscription service To me, those are more important than the player itself -- in fact, I'd say #2 and #3 on that l

I understand, suggestions still have issues. I listen to a lot of more obscurely specific genres, and sometimes will get just a couple of repeated songs if I make a radio based on a lesser-known artist. That said, if you haven't given

I would say yes, but again, playing music at very amplified volumes and tweaking its tempo is not a common use-case.

I absolutely heard a difference between 320 and everything below. You can tell me I didn't, but I did. There is a world of difference between 160Kbps and 256, and 128 is a lot worse. If you can't hear it, I understand, but the bla

When I DJed I used a mix of FLAC files and 320 Kbps CBR and high level VBR. On performance equipment I could tell VBR was not holding up. There is also some quality loss that you encounter when slowing down MP3s that is not present for FLAC

Same here, and with the lowercase "the", my mind kept reading it as "How the Food Industry Engineers Need to Eat". Unfortunate but I don't think it's wrong.
