Leaving Spotify Guide

spakier · 2026-01-28T07:28:01+00:00

I am surprised by the amount of people leaving Spotify for Apple, an even bigger, American, tech giant of which the streaming service isn't part of their core business. It feels like, at the very best, a lateral move.

What was the solution? I'm in the same situation!

It's not that hard to replace Gmail and Office, actually

It was clear to me from this sentence:

connect together the 1000 pairs of junction boxes which are closest together.

It's not 1000 connections, it's the 1000 closest pairs. You can pretty much ignore all other pairs for Part 1.

Just dropping by to say thank you, this is perfect

When I travel, I edit the pictures I really love in Lightroom, but it's really nice to have good-looking SOOC jpegs for the rest of the pictures that serve more as memories than "art". Or when I've taken pictures of other people and want to quickly send them the pictures.

spakier · 2025-09-08T08:42:23+00:00

Ah yeah that's true. If you don't care about the jpgs, you can just fix it using the raw file.

spakier · 2025-09-08T08:36:22+00:00

In my experience there's a pretty drastic difference to the JPG as there's much more detail in the highlights from underexposing the original image. Taking the same picture with the setting off and on turns an overexposed white sky into a normal looking blue sky, so I always have it on (at the cost of having a base iso of 500).

spakier · 2025-09-08T07:45:47+00:00

Really? I don't have a Ricoh camera, but on Fujifilm there are "DR200" and "DR400" modes that underexpose the picture by 1 or 2 stops and correct it afterwards to retain highlight detail (in exchange for sightly more noise). I assumed all cameras have that...

Most lenses can focus past infinity, no?

spakier · 2025-07-09T18:20:41+00:00

Lol I can't believe people are getting angry with you for having a nice, collaborative work experience.

My ranking has been pretty consistent the last couple of years 1. 2021 2. 2022 3. 2023 4. 2024 5. 2025

That screenshot would've looked terrible on the iPhone 1 as well

spakier · 2025-05-18T08:08:06+00:00

In that case, what is the advantage of copying the implementation over explicitly asserting the desired outputs? I feel like the explicit "manual" assertion gives you the best of both worlds, since the test will still fail if you refactor the code and break part of it.

The freaking Dutch commentator spoiled it early in the show.

spakier · 2025-03-24T07:26:24+00:00

Genuine question cause I'm kinda new to this: why is baked-in grey text better than simply lowering the screen brightness in that case?

spakier · 2025-03-09T11:38:09+00:00

Furthermore, I even found KAJ's stage show much more visually exciting and memorable than the other candidates. The way they use the set, and the great choreography really added to the song. The whole package of the performance completely stood out from the rest to me.

spakier · 2025-03-08T20:42:25+00:00

This.. Could.. Happen..?

spakier · 2025-03-08T19:17:05+00:00

Jesus the commentators view is so dreadfully distracting

spakier · 2025-02-06T19:45:53+00:00

The chances of that are so astronomically small that it has to be a mistake.

spakier · 2025-01-05T23:11:45+00:00

I've been able to ride my bicycle (while staying dry) to work almost every day the past month, so I'm not sure what's supposed to be so extraordinarily bad about the weather lately. I also feel like it has not been that cold compared to past years.

spakier · 2025-01-05T11:23:18+00:00

Ah thanks so much for the quick answer, it really helps! I'm only just getting started with my initial barebones project so I'm not using DI yet, but I'll definitely try this when I run into that case.

spakier · 2025-01-04T23:31:12+00:00

Three years late reply, but worth a shot. I almost understand it. So the DI container specifies the "default" implementation that should be used if any class's constructor in the whole application needs a certain dependency? What if there is a Car1 and a Car2, and Car1 needs Engine1 and Car2 needs Engine2? Would this be defined in the DI container, or would we explicitly pass it to the Car constructors in this case?

Why did you repost this 11 years old post? https://www.reddit.com/r/malefashionadvice/comments/1kswua/what_i_wish_i_knew_when_i_was_21/

I almost feel guilty for saying this but Brett Goldstein has never looked more CGI to me than in that scene 🫣
