  • What's A Piece Of Software You Could Never Do Without?

    Jump

  • Is there a particular draw for foobar2000? I remember a while back I was looking for a music player and that kept coming up, but I found it underwhelming when trying it. I've been using MusicBee for a long while now, and have found it excellent, so I don't plan on switching, just curious if there's something I'm missing.

  • JPEGView It's a simple but powerful image viewer (don't be misled by the name, it can view most any standard image formats).

    It feels weird to even have an opinion on such a simple piece of software, but this is the type of tool that reminds you of what software could be like. When you open an image, you see the image. No loading time. No unnecessary toolbars. No fucking pop-ups to update the software to get the latest AI tools.

    Don't get me wrong, it's plenty powerful. It's got all the tools you'd expect: viewing EXIF data, cropping, rotating, brightness/color correction. It even has some more advanced tools: navigating collections of photos (including nested folders), viewing a collection as a slideshow or movie, perspective correction, batch-renaming... The impressive part is that it does all this without getting in the way of it's job: viewing images.

    Unfortunately, the project has been abandoned, though it appears to have been forked here (I haven't actually used this version, but hopefully they haven't changed too much).

  • That doesn't look very realistic. I bet they just punched Godzilla for the take and then reversed the footage.

  • Beyond enjoying this channel, I've recently been thinking more and more about the value of older books. The trend of the modern internet seems to be leaning towards highly accessible but low quality information, and the amazing density of well-researched information in some older books astounds me.

    That's not to say that we haven't made advancements (the volume of information I could find about Newport on, say, Tripadvisor vastly exceeds single-source publications like that in the video), but the combined influences of advertising, SEO, fake reviews, data collection, etc. has taken something away from this type of resource.

    Jump

  • I've used this for a while now, and it's an excellent app. It's genuinely refreshing to have apps that just do their job without fuss or feature creep.

  • Stop Trying to Make Social Networks Succeed [Opinion]

    Jump

  • Seems a bit disingenuous to compare the niche of tech folks that used Google+ to the niche that use WeChat, with the later "niche" being... China...

    Not everyone has to agree that dominating a country's social media usage is a good goal, but it clearly is the goal for many companies, and they're going to continue to persue it. Perhaps users of social media should redefine success, but for creators of social media platforms there are absolutely clearly defined measures of success and failure.

  • Has anyone else seen this interesting "challenge site" when googling a programming topic?

    Jump

  • I went through these challenges a while back; they were super fun! I remember at the end there was something about "notify me if there are more challenges" but I don't believe I ever heard anything.

    I'm a sucker for puzzles, and the write-ups for the challenges were the right level of silliness.
