I wonder how much of this comes down to marketing… I keep coming back to Posy’s “Desirable Nonsense” video [1]. [1]: https://youtu.be/B_8HDPBfvHI

Maybe I should’ve said “never meant to be subjective” – I meant the target.

Sure but they’ve always been mastered with the same setup, so the bar has not changed. And anything flavoured will not work universally for all types of music or other kinds of audio (like voice calls are really hard to understand with bass

> Third, audio quality is deeply subjective, and what sounds good to my ears may sound like total garbage to yours. Interesting article (audio processing should be a standard OS feature), but I wish we'd stop doing this. Speakers we

That's a lot of context for not much content. I ussually start with something like: - Prefer documentation as code - Comment why, not what - Document public APIs - Readability is paramount That usually gets me 80% there; rest is covere

RAM over “USB” seems dangerously close to an SSD. In any case DDR3 isn’t nearly as bad price-wise and would have much better energy efficiency than stacking 1–2 gig sticks.

I never understood the point if having the unfathomable churn of thousands of new questions per day. The value of SO to me was always a knowledge base with reputation mechanics, and that did not change. I still default to searching before a

Got me confused for a sec, as the exploit in the top comment implies JavaScript→root, but it actually relies on two separate exploits.

If you’d like to take a look at how one of the older Victorian mechanical signal boxes on this map (still) work, I can wholeheartedly recommend Tom Scott’s recent video on signalling in Britain [1]. [1]: https://youtu.be/omY

I love coffee on ice in summer, but I think that’s a different category, like ice cream. I would rather have room temperature coffee than a cold brew usually though. I just did not have good luck with it so far

by jurf 3mo ago
I don’t understand, you say it’s a myth and then said it’s better when warm? Regardless, I would say it’s an objective fact that good coffee is ruined at room temperature. It still tastes fine , but no where near as good. What especially i

Yes, but the test was at 22°C, which I wouldn’t consider warm. And it’s too cold for the differences to be even perceptible well, making the test flawed. Disregarding the fact that it’s also much colder than people use to drink coffee, maki

I think it’s more about layers of defense being always better than relying on a single point of failure. IIRC those bugs could only steal data, not do remote execution. If you did not store even the encrypted passwords in memory, getting th

This at the same time super cool and really disappointing, as I've been carrying around this idea in my head for maybe ten years as a cool side project and never got around to implementing it. However, there might still be room for com
