I don't really get the comments about Spotify having a terrible UX, works fine for me. It uses 300 MB of RAM on my MacBook. Saving 50MB of RAM in exchange for losing the ability to play lossless files isn't a trade I want to make.

If he has such a good reputation, why doesn't he write well? He never actually introduces the point of the article, he merely alludes to it in the concluding paragraphs.

I tried this years ago to try to develop my ability to play by ear. What I ended up learning is that if you want to learn to play by ear, learn to sing, don't bother with exercises like this, at least not until you've gotten some

This looks like they simply reinvented PID control. The inputs to the beyond are desired states minus actual states, which is basically how PID works.

I don't get how this is meaningfully different from doing something like: 1. Squash all your commits in this branch to one 2. Move that commit to the working directory with the appropriate git reset command 3. Commit hunks as appropria

Yea since writing this I think it has more to do with the regulator circuit. I plan to do a small rewrite and change the title to something like "When 3.3V isn't actually 3.3V" to more accurately reflect the situation. A deco

70 active on average at any given time per the article, which then lists total fleet size, as opposed to number of active cars on average, so it's not a fair comparison. Although then it says they drive about 4m miles per week, which w

But where are the AI features?? Gonna get left behind! Only joking of course, actually quite refreshing to see a new version announcement of something this major without any AI nonsense.

Kind of funny that the people trusting AI too much appear to be the ones who will be left behind.

I have not had that experience, most of the time the duplicate question was answered, but to address the argument, it seems like it would be correct to mark a question as duplicate even if the original isn't answered. Why should there

Boeing has the contract for SLS, not ULA. Boeing owns 50% of ULA, with Lockheed Martin owning the other 50%. But SLS is a Boeing product not a ULA one. ULA's main rocket now is the Vulcan, with a few more Atlas V launches left.

OK, but what will they do next quarter? Loan out another 20 billion and get it back? And the quarter after that? Eventually you run out of people will to take loans from you to buy your chips and what do you think happens then?

I think you're looking too deeply at this. It's generally well written. I feel like you could take almost any sentence and say "look like AI" if you squint hard enough. Regardless of it is was fully or partially written

Genuinely curious, what did you find painful about it? A while back I found it annoying that I'd get errors when cleaning out my branches because they were checked out in a worktree I'd forgotten about, but git now highlights bran

Gitlab is pretty good, plus you can self host it if you really want. It's an interesting company too, they're 100% remote.

Lol, I jsut started learning KiCAD last week, and I work in at a game dev coworking space, so this is a perfect combination of the two! Nice!

This is a neat idea and I quite like some of the syntax, but what is this for? I have a hard time seeing this gaining traction over traditional sketch-based CAD for a number of reasons, so is it just meant to be a toy?
