lol I just realized that Google Voice deleted my phone number. Fortunately the only thing I used it for was spam and a bank. And banks don’t really have any useful security lol

More than 20 years later, Switchfoot's The Beautiful Letdown is still one of the most meaningful albums to me. And the respin form early 2023 keeps growing on me. https://album.link/t/280777354
"We were meant to live for so much more. Have we lost our selves? Somewhere we live inside... we want more than the wars of our fathers, and everything inside screams for second life!"

I have what I think is a somewhat contrarian view among programmers: the CLI is NOT the world's best interface for most things. It CAN be efficient with decades of practice (which I have). But for all the dogma of CLIs just being "better," I still haven't found a sane way to curl a URL with Korean text in the query string. I have to encode the URL first! This is UX, and is solved in nearly every GUI.
Text may be the "universal API" but all that means is that it's the lowest common denominator.

How did I mis this?! Oh yeah, I guess I was rather preoccupied with travels when this was released.... As usual, a fantastic mix from Boris 😍 🙌

One of our ETL pipelines had a classic stderr logger. Switching to @duckdb opened up a lot of analysis possibilities (incl. several that I didn't think of until I started using it) so I did a quick writeup. I think this pattern is applicable to a LOT of apps!

That's hilarious! I assume this is because nobody knows about cal.com (I only had 68 meetings).
(Why don't I just use Calendly like everyone else? Because they have this insane limit of 5 calendars per account, no matter how much you pay them.)

I don't know who it was in my Mastodon feed who posted in the last 24h that they were listening to Solar Fields (and they seem to not have search enabled), but whoever you are, thanks for the recommendation! Really nice: https://album.link/kr/i/1572670727

Finally, some people online complained about the bright treble response. It definitely is a bit more than most headpones I've used, but it's not really a problem and I'm more than adjusted to it by now. It actually works very well for a lot of stuff I listen to frequently, which benefits from having the treble highlighted a bit. If you don't like this though, you could correct it with EQ.
Speaking of EQ... HOW THE HECK DOES TIDAL NOT HAVE EQ??? Bizarre oversight by their product team.

In contrast though, something about the Beyerdynamic sound stage is more spatially interesting than the Grados. I feel like it expands in a different dimension than the Grados, and I really like it. Lots of subtle details that I DIDN'T hear in well-mixed tracks are obvious on the Beyers.
Other stuff... I like the bass response of the new set better. I think the little extra "containment" makes it slightly punchier, without being obnoxious.

So this seemingly strikes a compromise between the typical closed back design, where the "sound of nothingness" is a bit too unnatural. But it's not leaking in very much env noise either. TBH I can't tell when my wife gets home. Especially loud noises will make it through but not typical background stuff.
This does subtly alter the sound stage though. It's not quite as...deep as the Grados somehow? But it's not a difference I'd notice without a side by side comparison.

Almost a week in, the comfort difference is STILL night and day. I can wear the new Beyerdynamics for several hours comfortably. Other notable differences:
While both are open back, the Grados were a lot more open. This subtly changes the listening dynamic in unexpected ways. I'm used to being able to hear environmental noises, like someone calling me with open back designs, but the new ones mask nearly all environmental noise (in my house at least), WITHOUT the "isolation" of a closed back

Wife’s LG Gram laptop appears to be dying after about 5 years of use. She doesn’t need anything fancy. Light, good battery life, and probably enough RAM to run Chrome. Sadly it has to be Windows or this wouldn’t be a question, but what’s a laptop that doesn’t suck these days?
