David Bowie's best work was with Eno. You might want to check the album trilogy Low/Heroes/Lodger. And of course his massively influential ambient productions, or the band Talking Heads... Or his ambient experiments with Robe

If you were ever into prog rock while young, his band King Crimson basically defined the genre and later on moved it to different directions very succesfully.

I have a 3950x at home I now mainly use for work. I still have a workstation with 2970wx in the office, but I'm spending only 0-2 days of week there anymore. Haven't used laptops for years to do any programming.

I'm also having a 3950x for Rust work and it has been the fastest CPU I've ever used. It just flies every day and makes rust compilation times not an issue anymore. That means, I really don't know do I want to have the troubl

And datetime2 was introduced in mssql 2008… So 12 years ago. Of course when maintaining the rust crate for mssql, implementing support for these old types was necessary and I had some wtf moments. Another interesting one is the smalldateti

And at least in Germany, Berlin is full of these fixer shops that'll do a great job fixing your Mac. Usually in the neighborhoods with large arabic minorities.

What's interesting here is that it's only the US where Apple has the dominance. Everywhere else in the world it's mostly Android in the mobile phones. Edit: What I mean with this comment is that HN has lots of readers outside

Google has 73.18% market share in Europe, so it's quite rare that all your friends are using iPhone. https://gs.statcounter.com/os-market-share/mobile/europe/

I'm a type 1 diabetic and I get real time glucose information from a Dexcom CGM to my Garmin watch. This is extremely useful, but maybe we're a bit too small group to be counted as masses...

Used to do that with every phone I had, especially the Xiaomis due to them sending lots of tracking with the default install. The OnePlus 8 Pro is the first phone I feel doesn't need a custom ROM. It has some annoiying things such as F

I built my FreeNAS build into the Fractal Design Node 304. It fits six hard drives, and the computer fits into an IKEA shelf nicely.

Having a TR 2970WX at work with the same issue. You must just disable the lower C-states, freezing the machine when coming up from sleep. At home I've had a 3950x now for about six months and no such issues with the CPU at all. It just

I've been using OpenBSD in my X230 for over a year now and everything works out of the box. Sleep never fails, power management needs one extra daemon up, integrated WWAN module just works with ifconfig... I have a desktop computer wit

All X1 Carbons I've owned and the one my partner owns have been so nice to use. I mean you just need to get one into your hands... The rubbery cover, very sturdy design, super lightweight, perfect keyboard, in the later models perfect

I have a T25 with 32 GB of RAM and there's easily 16 GB too much in it. It's only 4 threads so using 32 GB at least as a programmer is a stretch. With 16 cores and 32 threads I'm able to use all 32 GB easily. I guess I should

It's about the craft, the engineering. He's a legend, but here he just plays around and has fun with his hobby project. Typically he plays CDJ and before that vinyl with an additional tape reel if needed.

This is just some real classic house here and sometimes I just spend weeks listening only that. You may need a history yourself in the scene to get it. Music for minorities, music to heal. And Kerri here is such an engineer, mixing pitch pe

As an asthmatic person, I hope this too. Berlin is quite bad on some streets, especially due to people's love for diesel cars. This also includes trucks and diesel buses.

Only if all your apps are running in wayland mode. If using x apps over xwayland, the scaling is quite blurry. That being said I'm using sway every day, but just tweak my font size accordingly.

You get the same experience with rust-analyzer in emacs. Like the addition of code actions was a game changer for me.

Wouldn't touch any of the non-studio lineup from either Beyerdynamic or Sennheiser. The dt770/880 and 1770/1880 are great.

by pimeys 7y ago
Let me take Grado off the list then. The Beyers and Sennheisers, at least the studio models are very durable.

by pimeys 7y ago
Exactly! But the 1770 pro blocks enough noise to be used in a noisy studio and office space. No need for active noise cancellation or software to get a perfect bubble for your own thoughts. What I tried to say here is that maybe we're

From the comments I see the QC35 is not very durable pair of headphones. I would understand if the price tag would be under 100 euros, but the QC35's are quite expensive. And if they last only a couple of years, I wouldn't count t

I find that alarming you need to get new headphones so often. I've used my boses while commuting for over a year now with no trouble luckily, but this doesn't sound good. My office headphones have always been Beyerdynamics. I&#x27
