In my college years I've been told a lot of things by my profs. ORMs will kill RDBs, UML is the shit, Agile is the future of all software engineering etc. I could never see most of those things happening but always assumed that they&

IIRC FiiO makes BTR3/5 Bluetooth DACs. You can use those to bluetoothize your high end headphones as well as a USB DAC.

The site lists the FiiO M3K port under unusable . Did you find it usable?

I'd also throw in something about, you know, not damaging the brain in excess quantities ;)

Hey, I didn't say procrastination's not useful-ish. I once learned, among other things, the difference between sleet and hail but that critical knowledge was of no use to the client or the project I was supposed to be working on ;

Yeah, same here. This framework development frenzy seems to me like procrastination from doing actual work. 'Gee, I finally have time to do this web site I always wanted! Well, let's start with the OS my custom browser will run on

Your reply sound like a straw man, sorry. Bitcoin is a relatively new asset. What I think he's saying is that some of the price increases are attributable to the loss of value of 1 USD and some to geniune BTC price discovery.

Yes, it looks better, but (at least for me) it's missing the chart.

I recently upgraded/switched my dev machine from a desktop (Intel NUC Hades Canyon) to a Lenovo Legion 5-15 ARH "gaming" laptop with 32GB, 2xM.2 and Ryzen 4800H (more mobile, more pandemic friendly). It's a big laptop by

I didn't do the math on this one, but it seems to me that the whole financial system (and all that's needed to ensure it's reliability and security) uses a bit more energy than Ukraine or Argentina.

by mszcz 6y ago
I never said it's energy usage is low. I said (more or less) that for what it is it's energy usage is low.

by mszcz 6y ago
I don't think that cryptocurrency energy consumption is as big a problem as it's been recently painted in the media. Bitcoin, Ethereum etc. are, potentially, self-contained, almost complete, final, financial systems. Using a VISA

I never truly understood that - prohibiting companies outside of US from getting American customers. If the US govt doesn't want that to occur maybe they should police their citizens instead and see how that goes? I mean, an American c

I make a lot of photos and videos, those take up a lot of space. 128GB to store everything locally won't cut it. That's why I have a backup in form of Dropbox. Additionaly, I plan to amend that with a self-hosted solution. I know,

Oh. Well, my dislike for the big tech lock-in solutions is more general in nature. Thanks for clearing it up. Curious, what happens if Apple locks your account (not in their ecosystem but M1 got me apple-curious ;)? Can you still export you

by mszcz 6y ago
Yeah, it's the "lets you" part that ticks me off. That's the reason I have both Google Photos upload and Dropbox Upload enabled. Don't want to wake up one time to find out my photos are gone because some algo had a

Even reading that would be, in my opinion, a waste of time. However, just out of pure curiosity, has any poor soul been tempted enough to skim this piece of odorless excrement and can tell me how he claims the bitcoin devs did him wrong?

Seconded. When my brother was learning front-end developement those were the kind of things that caused most problems in the beginning but were the most glossed over in the tutorials. I personally think that learning the nuts and bolts of h

That does sound like an interesting approach but I think is only applicable in first-job or entry level positions right? What kind of seniority are we talking about here?

It seems to me that knowing what a position a company looks for fetches on the market is the recruiter and HR's job. No one said it would be easy. If the range is too wide and the position can be filled by a variety of people then mayb
