> As a huge music fan, how do I sort through all the noise to find a truly good band, and not some guy programming the guitars, drums tracks and bass and then does the vocals himself?
Eh? Do you mean you don't like it unless you know the band is full of good instrumentalists or that you find too much stuff that's not done well?
Not my comment but I had to read that a couple times too - I think it's more a reference to the latter part, as in, things not done well. A one-person shop might make a lot of excuses and not have the ability to reach quality production to the point of hiding the fact it's just a one-person shop.
Fundamentally I don't disagree; it takes a lot to 'sound pro' and a lot falls short...it's been a multi-year learning process on my end and I'm still nowhere near 'pro' engineer level, though some tracks might fool ears here and there.
Hahahaahahaha, what a bunch of horseshit. Here's what's really happening (or rather, what's not happening): Wall Street's pay grade model has turned into "Jump ship or get fucked".
So people jump ship. End of story. Banks don't want to give people raises, so they leave after a period of time for a new position that does give them a raise.
>would you rather a modern Spanish flu pandemic kill half a billion people?
That's asinine. As if the choices are panicked fear or death. Do you think those public health agencies would be somehow less effective in the absence of fear-mongering?
My comment is not a question of there being public health threats. It's about the media coverage and the incessant need to sell fear in these times.
The author works in public health. Public health policy doesn't happen in a vacuum. Implementing the plan in the article requires public funds, and so it's perfectly reasonable to inform the public.
nah dog, Apple has said they are free to make an Apple TV app. But they won't for some reason. They don't even have to sell items through the app and incur Apple's cut.
Making sure they aren't too worn. Brake pads have "wear indicators" in them for just that reason and have for decades. You know that squeal/squeaking sound worn brakes make? That's wear indicators doing their job.
It's not possible on all models but if your wheels are "open" enough that you can see the pads through them, it's pretty easy to see how much material is left with just a quick glance.
Yeah. It's because we've been given sugary shit en masse for decades. It's like asking someone addicted to heroin if they would like to stop doing heroin.
Anyway, the rise of Greek yogurt at least shows that this isn't 100% true. It does need a little sugar for me to find it palatable as breakfast, but like, we're talking 2 or 3 sliced strawberries or a handful of blueberries.
In the case of Rust I don't believe this is 100% true given C ABI compatibility. You could start rewriting in such a way that it is integrated with the existing code and slowly, but surely tease the C out of the system.
It would for the longest time be a C program with a metastasizing wart of Rust hung off the side, impossible to get into, impossible to work with, debugging hell, compilation hell. The distros would weep.
