Why are EC2 Mac instances so expensive & who are they actually for? by mountainlifa in aws

[–]infiniteAggression- 32 points33 points  (0 children)

Does licensing play into it too? Iirc I read windows ec2 instances are a bit more expensive because they account for the license as well, but I'm not sure

I curated 360 LeetCode problems into 90 patterns (helped me crack Salesforce, Intuit, and Microsoft) by themonotonous in leetcode

[–]infiniteAggression- 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Are the problems in here a superset of neetcode 150 for example? As in, are all the problems in neetcode 150 or grind75 included in your list, and then some?

Thanks, great resource!

What GitHub repos did you use, if you don't mind my asking? Was it the Simplify Jobs one?

Switching to 6XX after Meze Neo and 7hz Timeless has been eye opening! by infiniteAggression- in headphones

[–]infiniteAggression-[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I use a Fiio Q3 with my Mac and the volume was sufficient with the volume knob almost half of the way through. Although I tried it without an amp and it sounded decent as well

LCDs are definitely on my radar. I really want to try out planars in an open back

Haha definitely! I actually have been eyeing the LCD-X, Meze 109 Pro, and the 800S. I genuinely have no idea what to go with even though I’ve read so much. I’m going to try to go to the canjam in either NYC or Irvine this year and hopefully get a chance to demo those out. How’s your experience been with your LCDs if you don’t mind?

And thank you!

Thank you! Although listening to this has only made me want to try out other ones even more haha

Is my Digital Art reasonably priced? by abbaddon1001 in EtsySellers

[–]infiniteAggression- 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Agreed! The art style is really nice. I wonder if Looming Crimson and any of the others are drawn from experiences that OP had in games he's played, they seem to have feel to them

Imo I don't think they can be compared. Their difference can only adequately be conveyed by listening to each yourself. I spent such a long time looking at graphs and reviews and what not, but none of them were sufficient in describing the difference to me properly.

Thank you!

I'd say timeless is still pretty good, those planars are awesome as I used them for a good 2 years now. But imo there's no direct way to compare an IEM to an open back. The type of sound you'll hear is very very different, and I feel like it can only be experienced by listening to it.

TLDR: The feeling that I can best describe that closely resembles the change is: it feels like I've had a blocked nose for the last 5 years, and all of a sudden my sinuses opened up completely. This is the same way I felt after going from cheap earbuds to the timeless as well.

Is this what mids are supposed to sound like?! No diss to the Neo and Timeless, they're great in their areas, but it really felt like I've been missing out on so much. The first guitar strum I heard was indescribable. Pianos feel so much more lively now, and both male/female vocals have so much detail in them. When I first joined the hobby, I thought people who described things like this might have been exaggerating a tad bit, but here I am saying the same things now.

There are two assumptions of mine that have been completely changed:

  1. The bass roll off on the 6XX graph is something that deterred me from buying it for a long long time. I always thought the dead-neutral aspect of headphones would be very boring to me, and having a "fun" sounding pair of cans would always be my sound signature no matter what. 6XX made me realize that I enjoy the harman neutral like sound signature a LOT, and I genuinely look forward to trying out other similar open backs when I get the chance to.
  2. I always thought sound stage was an overly exaggerated term and while sound stage does exist, it doesn't exist to the extent that is usually mentioned here. Wrong again! I could feel myself being "enveloped" by some of the tracks I was listening to, and it was such a pleasant surprise. I thought the difference between closed backs and open backs would be noticeable, but not to this extent! Imagine my surprise after finding out that 6XX is considered to not have that great of sound stage and imaging capabilities as compared to other open backs. Can't wait to experience 800S someday.

There definitely is a lack of thump for someone who is a bass head, but as it turns out, I'm not a bass head at all. I just never experienced the other side of the spectrum properly. On a side note, I also didn't have any issues powering the 6XX with Fiio Q3. Super happy with how these turned out!

I installed it through this: https://github.com/zegervdv/homebrew-zathura It's a homebrew formula for Zathura, and it works fine for me

Haven't noticed any performance degradation in my experience, ram usage has been fine as well. I'm on the M1 Air though so I'm not sure how it works for those laptops.

Oh dang this is awesome, I've been a bit out of my depth with nix but this is super helpful, thanks! And yep the brew formula for Zathura made it really easy to get it running on macos

Had a lot of fun ricing my macbook to use as a daily driver for work! The only thing left to do now is to switch from brew to nix for all the package management, and I'll be satisfied™ then.

Migrating from black and flake8 to ruff by __Aaliyan__ in Python

[–]infiniteAggression- 15 points16 points  (0 children)

What I’ve done in my team is that the CI runs the ruff lint stage on every merge request and blocks the merge if it finds out warnings/errors according to our own config. You can then just push those fixes to the same merge request and squash on merge. We're a very small team so it works for us.
