My dumb theory is that they’re trying to break up the “monopoly” allegations. But, I’m not sure what the stats are for how many people use ad block blockers like ublock, and are willing to migrate to a different browser because of its loss. On top of that, like others say there are still ad blockers available.
Terrible sample size: I moved to FF as soon as I couldn’t use a cookie cleaner for web dev work, and ublock origin.
This article does not provide much insight and reads like it’s extremely SEO optimized. Super repetitive without much actual information and just a lot of opinion?
yeah- yikes I did not expect that to happen. My comment was extremely tangential and there were a good few comments already when I added it. I completely agree - it’s not about echo location
This is often used by audio mixing engineers and taught in a roundabout way at schools and studios. We think a lot about where thins “sit” in the mix. Proximity wise, and even height wise in a stereo mix.
Eventually you learn how to locate things in headphones and it’s a really weird sensation when you realize you can do it.
The kicker is we start out by simulating real environments in mixes, but then end up having to simulate what people expect from the medium as opposed to real life.
For example something I learned doing video audio, if someone is writing something on a train, viewers expect to hear the pen on paper. But irl, there’s not a chance it’s audible. Explosions are always distorted because microphones end up clipping due to the volume, etc.
A great book on spatial simulation is The Art of Mixing by David Gibson. Older but forever relevant
Are you in a gig scene? The vast majority of the Brooklyn gig scene have service industry jobs, film sound jobs, or they play a lot of 3-4 hour event gigs (wedding bands but plus all events) on top of their own music projects. It’s not feasible to just do main music project gigs to start out in the slightest. And we all have the cheapest rents in ny.
true it is tedious but I have a vs code shortcut for doing the following (and same goes for queryselectorall)
let foo = document.queryselector(‘.foo’);
I’m a junior-mid level web dev now and when I first cut my teeth my senior dev was very much a wall. It wasn’t intentional but when you do something for 10 years, you just forget how it feels to not know what you don’t know.
It made me really start to learn on my own and figure out how go from 0 on many different skills. So personally I really think it’s about the junior and how much they’ve figured out their learning style, and being “a wall” like this can sometimes force them to learn by reading through all of your old code. Inadvertently leading by example is still really good
Transactions like full user flows start to finish, or 1 transaction = 1 post/get and 1 response?
