5zBFyURxgY··on Proposal for a Flag of Mars
Did the authors of this website ever heard of the male sign (♂) which is already for millennia the symbol for Mars? Or is this supposed to be an upgrade?
5zBFyURxgY··on 24/192 Music Downloads Are Very Silly Indeed (2012)
Still very silly IMAO. Very, very few recordings are done in 24/192 because of the many implications this has on your entire studio setup.

You'll need an exceptional good clock to start with, and all other equipment needs to align to that clock. Then all plugins/processing you use needs to be in the same 24/192 domain, otherwise your signal is reduced to the limit of that plugin/processing and all previous efforts are lost.

Most music producers use samples, most are 16/44, so what's the point to try to get that to 24/192, filling the signal with zero's..

If a piece of music is in very rare occasion truly 24/192 then the listener who downloaded the track still needs a exceptional good clock (that are both expensive and hard to find) to playback without signal reduction.

IMAO 24/192 is just a marketing thing for audiophiles that don't really understand the implications. 24/96 should be a reasonable limit for now, although personally I think 24/48 is enough for very high quality audio.

5zBFyURxgY··on Ask HN: Experienced JavaScript programmers, what are your recommendations?
Just don't do it. I totally regret I went for Javascript.

I started with systems programming with C++ etc.. At some point some 5 years ago I made the unfortunate decision to go for Javascript. After 5 years I can now confidently say that programming in Javascript is not about what you are creating, it is about what ESxxx version you use, what framework you use, whether you're using Promises or whatever idea people come up with tomorrow, and all this in an ever accellerating and continuing hype. I am sick of it already. Almost everything I learn is already, or will be soon, deprecated.

I would recommend people to go for C++/Qt or any language/framework where what you learn will not be wasted soon so you can use your valuable time to create things rather than learn the next framework or language idea all the time.

Is that supposed to be good news?
5zBFyURxgY··on Where in Europe is electric car a good idea?
Everywhere, because oil is an ending resource. Electricity is already way more sustainable and cleaner, and this can only become even better soon.
