One thing almost all arc clones dont get right and I talked with other arc users about this is that arc when surfing has no ui besides the border no top bar not tabs you can hide everything if you want to.
I downloaded Zen and what do i see a top bar which I can not hide or at least I can not find how to do it.
- Once the EU had 100ml rules.
- Then new scanners were installed.
- Where new scanners then you could take more then 100ml.
- Problems found in new scanners now everybody has to take 100ml (temp. solution).
The water is fine, but the sink usually isn‘t. The sinks are just as contaminated with bacteria as the toilets themselves —- sinks in really busy restrooms are constantly damp and allow bacteria to grow more than one would expect.
You're not drinking from the sink though, but the tap. The tap is also constantly wet in every house and we're never cleaning inside it. On the other hand, my kitchen is not getting cleaned with heavy antibacterial chemicals multiple times every day.
Are you sure the taps in commercial restrooms would have more bacteria?
From one Hamburger to another...just where, please?
I could swear I saw a drinking fountain once, somewhere along that long corridor connecting the gates but I never found it again and, to this date, I've never drank from it. (I mostly fly Eurowings to other Schengen destinations.) If it really exists, I'm sure there is only one such station past security, or maybe one per airport wing.
And look, in a pinch I'm ready to drink tap water from the airport toilet faucets. I'm ready to entrust my life to that dice roll. But, as a matter of human dignity being inviolable and all that, I would much rather shell out money for an expensive bottle of water.
Bryan Johnson is already independently wealthy, and if he wanted to become even wealthier there would be much easier and more lucrative options.
The most parsimonious explanation for his behavior is that he very genuinely does not want to die.
Of course, anyone who is rich and famous is liable to veer into narcissism and abuse of power.
But if any HN reader were very serious about doing whatever it takes to live as long as possible, then reading this page would be a great start, as it is one of the most obsessively researched and documented health regimens towards this goal.
I dont want to write in an extra window for code completion.
Maybe its just me but chatting in a separate window... whats the point ? I can just open a tab in a browser with chatgpt.
What I want is something that understand my code base and can give me tipps of wich functions to use or where to find stuff and so on. Thats what cost me time.
Understanding someone else code or my old code. That takes time.
Writing code tests is what takes away from my time.
Writing a bad version of bubble sort is not what I want.
All those jobs do look the same because they are all bullshit jobs which infantile developers assuming they can't do and decide anything for themselves but write code on command.
On the other side I have worked with PM/POs who have no clue and the developers are just telling them: "Oh this is super complicated you would not understand" or "This will take a long time to implement" and its a small feature.
There must be a balance. There must be some basic understanding by the PM/POs. They cant be the person that barley can use a computer.
It also helps to be able to understand the tech enough to know if a certain approach is going to impact other initiatives which are further down the roadmap. One of my favourite questions I've been asked by a PM is "Will any of this work become easier to do if we change the order of these work items?"
Not in my experience - juggling priorities is usually difficult enough when you're just trying to manage the C-suite's favourite ideas, or feature requests from the highest revenue customer, etc. Factoring in synergistic engineering efforts is out of reach for a lot of PMs that I've worked with.
Spotify itself is not sustainable and going for the podcast crowed...
I still think it was not a smart move...
Its like that blue haired streamer going from twitch to what ever the msft clone of it was.
Yes Spotify is super popular but I hear more and more people moving away from it to for example apple music or other services.
They don't focus on the core anymore that much.
For example they are super late on the lossless audio train.
Yes you can hear a difference from spotify and apple music.
I tested it with all my colleagues in the office. You can clearly hear that apple music or tidal sounds better then the spotify versions.
I played the same song from random services. They did not see the service nor the laptop. YouTube/Spotify/Apple/Tidal (We did not had access to more). YT usually was the worse followed by Spotify and then depending on the Genre either Tidal or apple won. All of them were in the highest settings.
The xm4 use Bluetooth and thus compress audio during transmission. Everyone of your listeners thus listened to lossy audio.
Fwiw there is not a single scientific listening test ever where participants were able to tell the difference between high bitrate mp3 and wav. Not even in perfect studio conditions.
Just curious, I have no stake in this, but did you have the "high quality audio" settings turned on for Spotify? I know they've had them in the past, I don't know what the specific name is for it these days.
At least with my AirPods or my fancy Master&Dynamic over-ear headphones, there is a pretty big difference in Apple Music vs others, but I don’t think it's necessarily about bitrate. I think Apple just gets higher quality masters of some songs. Same thing as Tidal when I used that, but Apple seems even a step further at this point (which is unfortunate because I really don’t want to rely on a mega-corp for everything).
Especially the ones with the Dolby Atmos (Spatial Audio) mixes. Even if you don’t have super high-res headphones, the difference in dynamic range is pretty obvious, and it makes songs just feel more alive.
I don’t have any stats to back this up but it seems that Apple Music has at least managed to somewhat buck the trend of the “loudness wars” with the masters they use. I wonder if this is actually published or written about anywhere…
You won't get a representative answer here because tech folk can be specific about what and how they listen, so our answers will make it appear like a big deal.
I will venture that most people don't notice or care.
I have AirPods pro and the sony xm4. Even on bluetooth you can hear the difference. The sound stage is just bigger. The highs are more clear and the bass is more subtle.
I was once remaking some hiphop beats from there samples and you can hear the difference even more when you have a remade beat (its not 100% the same) you can hear what the compression has done to the sample.
I downloaded Zen and what do i see a top bar which I can not hide or at least I can not find how to do it.
