Over time I must have spent several dozen hours looking into fonts, but I somehow always end up sticking to Menlo which looks just right to me.
But this one looks really good ! I will give it a spin, thanks for sharing.
Funny, I don’t know if you’re being sarcastic or sincere because I can’t tell the difference between that car and a Mustang or a Charger from the same decade.
In any case, the '67 and '68 Mustangs are the best looking of the Mustang line, and the '68 Dodge Charger is to die for.
If you cannot tell the difference, may I suggest you spend a wonderful evening watching "Bullitt".
When I was in high school, a friend of mine bought a '67 Mustang for $200, so of course he offered me a ride. I had never ridden in one before. I barely had the door closed when he stomped on the gas. What can I say, it was a transformative experience! I soon acquired one for myself. Converted it to a 4-speed, hopped up the engine, and had a grand time with it for years until a garbage truck turned it into an accordion.
I still miss that car.
But I did wind up replacing it with a 72 Dodge Challenger, which is close to being a Cuda. I spent a lot of money on its engine in the machine shop. I enjoy every second driving it, and giving friends rides in it.
Like me before I got the ride in the Mustang, you gotta get a ride in one before you dis it.
Everyone telling you that it's fast because iTerm2 is slow. Terminal.app is already faster than iTerm2 and on par o very close to most other alternatives in terms of speed.
I also used Terminal until recently and don't use any of the advanced features alternatives provide. The main reason to switch from Terminal.app is truecolor support. The terminfo thing is annoying but I just setenv TERM in ssh config. Better split panes is nice. Configuration in a text file is a matter of taste, but documentation is good.
> Playlists are ok, but heavily recommending entire albums is bizarre. Its like trying new foods by going to Costco. It would make more sense to select top picks from an artist.
Strongly disagree. It’s probably a generational thing but I listen to music in albums, not in popular hits. This was by far the main reason I used to use Rdio instead of Spotify.
I listen to entire albums too! But not from artists I've never heard of before, as is commonly the case in recommendations. It takes me a few listens from their singles to warm up to them, and then dig further into their discography.
"My New Music Mix" is updated 1x week for some inexplicable reason (I know Spotify does this too), while it seems to recommend albums programmatically based on likes/listening habits. Other playlists seem to be manually curated and recommended based on genre.
Understandably, there is just no way to expect manually curated playlists to cover everyone's personal tastes.
I believe it is possible to recommend songs/artists/albums without favoring one form of discoverability over the other as it is currently done.
Spotify does suggest albums (and singles, it makes no distinction, ugh). But yeah I use the Spotify Premium subscription to almost exclusively play albums.
EDIT: Discovery is terrible, the only sites that had excellent discovery was last.fm (butchered by CBS) and what.cd (nuked by law enforcement)
Strangely the on that had the best discovery for me was Google Music. It just seemed to eerily read my mind and I stumbled on so many good titles that I love. Rarely did I need to skip any song during, say, a workout playlist.
As for the UI, I loved the Google Music one... when I was on Android. Now that I'm on iOS it's totally alien and just unusable because zero iOS conventions are respected, like I'm in a virtual machine, it's just frustrating. I find all of the other music platform UIs quite awkward and despite its flaws Apple Music is still the best for me.
Seems like we hit a wall and "all MUAs suck" just changed the M from "Mail" to "Music".
There's a lot of things I don't like about Google Music UI but the artist page with the top 5 songs and the albums below works great for both getting a taste of a new artist and entire album listening.
yea, but still the problem is that all users who created a vault before Nov 2015 never got any message neither is their database upgraded automatically. They will unknowingly keep using the old database format.
Seems alarming for a company who's business is security/privacy.
> and is not selected by default when you create a new vault.
I was clearly only responding to this part, which is still useful information. Nowhere I said there is no issue, there is no need to always nitpick on everything. I'll go back to not commenting on anything for another year.
That style is usually called “single story a”. Monaco is a common monospaced typeface that uses it. I suspect that style is less common because at small sizes it's easily confused with o.
I only used Silver Efex. It's more flexible and powerful than basic Lightroom and more specialized than Photoshop. It's great for black and white work, it is a tool specifically made for photography, not a general purpose one.
