They're not macbooks though. We bought a ROG Zepherus for someone doing 3d stuff at the place I work, it's fine, has a GTX 1080, but it's no mac book. And you can't run OSX. I'm a (relatively) happy member of the cu

Still about £3000 once you add a 1TB SSD, and not as polished. Plus you have to run windows and can't run Logic.

Apple will now sell me a laptop with: 6 core i9, 32 gig of RAM and 1TB. As a bedroom producer this is truly incredible - and, yes, incredibly priced. The sheer capability of this machine is awe-inspiring, then you remember that it's su

People with Kube experience, at what point should someone on Heroku consider switching to Kube with something like GKE? I have a rough idea of the pros and cons, particularly cost vs. time overhead, but curious about more subtle things.

Wut. The problem isn't twitter (well, not in this case, not that twitter haven't destroyed their product with the non-chronological feed...), it's infants who can't control themselves on it. Addicts and occasional users

Oh Calrec <3. I used to do work as an audio engineer and assisted on a lot of orchestral recordings in concert halls. Among many others, we often used a calrec stereo mic and was just such a great sounding mic.

Learning to understand the domain you're modelling thoroughly. To ask enough questions so you don't build the wrong thing for the person who's requesting the work.

There's a great line from the book Americanah by Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie where the narrator of the book remarks that (and I'm paraphrasing here), there's loads of ways in the world to be poor, but apparently there's onl

Check out Los Danzantes. That stuff is incredible - and dangerous.

It’s not due to the complex subjectivity. It’s due to the medium, I.e daw’s which discourage complex time and harmonic arrangement in favour of encouraging massive sound design, via their UI’s

Highly recommend Goodbye to All That, his memoirs. One of the best books written on the first world war from the perspectives of someone actually fighting it. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Good-Bye_to_All_That

The node community is that xkcd comic about standards in human form. Nothing is ever settled, always a new way to do something.

Best I've seen is virgin atlantic. When I flew to vegas from London with them it was $45 USD per flight to get an economy seat with a bit more room. There was about 8 or 9 rows of these slightly roomier seats and it was great. Wish mor

I recently started a new job and took a fresh laptop as as good an excuse as any to switch to Firefox. It's great! It's fast, dev tools are good. I don't miss anything from chrome apart from the automatic google translate - j

The Wealth of Humans by Ryan Avent is worth a read to understand the current labour market.

Not that I disagree with you, but the historical reason for a public education system was because the nature of work changed and the economy needed workers who could do more than just labour. Historical context has created much more noble g

I find this to be particularly bad with Americans and Brits. I don't really use yelp much anymore, but when you're on holiday and look at tripadvisor reviews of restaurants, it always seems to be the Americans and Brits complainin

The idea is that political freedom begets, enables and protects economic freedom and subsequently entrepreurship and dynamism flows. I think it's generally accepted that the western democratic economies are more dynamic than those of m

With that sort of budget, surely the govt. could setup it's own cloud provider?

That's not my point. At all. My point is that a public broadcaster is accountable to the public, so they would have offical avenues of complaint.

As someone who is a big supporter and fan of public broadcasting - proper, popular public broadcasting like the BBC, I find it super ironic that both the American conservative and hard right, who seem to hate public broadcasting with equal

The labour market isn't one market, it's many markets, stratified in all sorts of ways. Hence: bringing in people to do tech jobs (e.g.) for which a local person can't be found will have no effect on working-class wages as, e

I've seen this first hand. I worked at a product studio that had a few businesses which were costing nothing but generating >$20kUSD per month. I'd set up the business to be as no-ops as possible, so it can basically run itself

Yes, that is my advice! Gald I wasn't indirect. Facebook is an evil company that has harnessed and unleashed an ugliness in humanity which they take no responsibility for and is literally getting people killed. We can't all be uti

If he's 'recognising the grievance', why does he spend so much time talking about immigrants and foreigners? He's a con artist swindling disadvantaged, desperate people by telling them that their problems are all the fau
