  • Here's a screenshot of my headphone testing playlist. Songs I like, but also having either deep bass, bright highs, or both. Plus, they're songs I've listened to a million times, so I know how they're supposed to sound.

    As for music I'd want to get first when starting over: Dark Side of the Moon.

  • Those 4% can make an RTX 5070 Ti perform at the levels of an RTX 4070 Ti Super, completely eradicating the reason you’d get an RTX 5070 Ti in the first place.

    You'd buy a 5070 Ti for a 4% increase in performance over the 4070 Ti Super you already had? Ok.

  • Since it needs to be compiled to JavaScript in order to be used, I kind of consider it a different language. Yes, it's a strict superset of JavaScript, but that makes it different.

  • It's much better to make your own function that uses bitwise operations to do addition.

     
        
    function add(a, b) {
        while (b !== 0) {
            // Calculate carry
            let carry = a & b;
    
            // Sum without carry
            a = a ^ b;
    
            // Shift carry to the left
            b = carry << 1;
        }
        return a;
    }
    
      

    (For certain definitions of better.)

  • So does this colleague suddenly have to work 9-5

    Worst of all, he sees a bit of daylight on the sunrise commute home. Yet I as a +10 would never see the sun.

    Everyone who works a daylight job would work a daylight job with Universal Time. We exist under Universal Time right now, and yet you (and the majority of other people in the world) work during the day. Nothing would change.

    Everyone would work whatever part of the day they work right now, except the numbers would change. And you'd have to learn what numbers mean "get up", "lunch", "dinner", and "sleep" because they won't be what you're used to.

    The current clock numbers are entirely arbitrary. (And they repeat!) When you were a kid, you had to learn what the hours meant relative to what part of the day it was. Under universal time, you would simply relearn that. Children learning it now would never know the difference. They would think local time is weird.

    I don't understand why every time this conversation comes up, there are always people who think that it means you'd have to change when you sleep, live, and work relative to the sun. I just don't get it. It just seems like such an odd conclusion to me.

  • With global UTC timezone, then you need to ask, which are your work hours?

    Which would be beautiful because you'd instantly gain an intuitive understanding of how that overlaps with your own work hours instead of having to do a conversion.

  • It was never about fun. It's about experiencing the game.

    When I read a book, the goal is to have whatever experience the book is going to give me, and leave my own life behind for a while.

    Getting lost in a AAA fantasy world with super-high-fidelity graphics is an amazing experience.
