Jesus Christ, what unmitigated bullshit. He just showed that he knows how to use a compressor. If he wanted to actually demonstrate anything he should have found tracks mastered at different levels at different times.
does it, or does the fact that most TVs have features to automatically turn the volume down for you negate this?
Yes, it does. Simple fact right there. Loudness makes people pay attention. And I'll admit I'm not a well-traveled TV watcher, but if "most TVs" can detect when sound has high loudness at a given maximum peak height, I'll eat a mouthful of my pubes.
Dear Mr. Network Execubot, watching your ad is not the same thing as purchasing your product, in some cases if the ads are bad enough it drives people away from buying your good/service.
Sorry, advertising works.
Also please stop raising the decibel level when a commercial comes on, that is really annoying.
Sorry, loudness works.
Is "Network Execubot" really a properly respectful form of address for someone so much smarter than you?
Have someone walk though, taking each order into a handheld computer as they go, and have two or three people running them to each seat. (I wonder how much that cart weighs.)
That's how Southwest does it (but with paper instead of handheld computers).
I sometimes read slashdot articles from long ago, and find dead links frustrating. C&P'ing linked texts is immensely helpful to the few future readers who might come across your comment.
He said (well, implied) that the assert statement is a bad thing, because if the code that shuts down the machine fails the assert, it won't be shut down properly. Meaning, ejasons thinks it's best not to find a BUG in the code that shuts down the X-ray. Which is NOT HOW IT WORKS. And it terrifies me that he thinks so.
I'm not even sure who you think you're responding to. I think you're agreeing with me without meaning to.
You're correct that it was the decision-makers' problem, but not how you think - they should have fired, or never hired, such poor communicators. Their JOB is to communicate with their team, and to hire a team they can communicate with. If a team isn't communicating adequately, it's the manager's fault - for hiring incompetent engineers, or for being a poor communicator.
Wow, that's stupid and ignorant.
I mean really ignorant and really stupid, I want to get onto why you are wrong but I have to take a moment to digest the enormous stupidity and ignorance of this statement.
would have been better if it hadn't been followed soon by
Don't give me guff about how it doesn't feel right or I cant get a hard on (there's a pill for that, most of us dont need it though),
You pretty obviously didn't even read the article, and just as obviously have no idea where to find this research you're talking about. I thought we might be able to have a discussion. Thanks anyway.
Did you just reduce an 11-page article to 5 words before responding to it?
Not to mention, you stopped writing before the important part, the part where you gave a link, or a book, or a researcher's name, or even a vague hint as to where I should go for these more recent studies.
For someone new to the game the hand is a fairly unstable system, and it does get out of balance. You're maintaining pressure with different fingers and hand positions at various times, and it can be challenging to get the hang of changing hand positions and which fingers are exerting pressure, without fucking up and missing buttons.
I didn't respond to you, I responded to alexborges. That's why my post makes sense as a response to him, and not you. It's also why when you click "parent" from my post, you get his post.
I'm curious, is there anything that would have convinced you? Insight from people with experience in the area and hard data have both failed. What, precisely, IS your opinion based on?
The whole point of a citation is to make it so that everyone is looking at the same thing. Telling people to search blindly for something you've given essentially no unique information about causes precisely the opposite situation.

Someone's been reading too much P.J. O'Rourke.
See, there's a reason network execubots make more money than most geeks who think themselves smarter than said bots. This is it.
Are other people really "mindless dolts"? Or are you the mindless dolt, for consciously denying known characteristics of human nature?
Yes, it does. Simple fact right there. Loudness makes people pay attention. And I'll admit I'm not a well-traveled TV watcher, but if "most TVs" can detect when sound has high loudness at a given maximum peak height, I'll eat a mouthful of my pubes.

"Oh my God, NO results? I've been working on this fucking shit for 4 years! How the fuck are there no results? What the shit do I tell the boss??"

You're saying it's better NOT to find the bug in the code responsible for turning off the X-ray?
Jesus, what must your code look like?

Unless the new German grammar is inconsistent or somehow genuinely less useful, I don't understand your objection.
Well, that's not entirely true. I do understand it, but it's invalid and stems from your lack of understanding.
Just like applicants have to email and use Facebook as part of the application process now.
Your post makes my brain hurt.

Now, I'm not a cameraman, but I can't imagine it's easier to get a good shaky shot than a normal steady shot.

Not in a peer-reviewed journal, but compelling and extremely interesting nonetheless.

You are an astoundingly stupid person.

They got a car inside the building over the phone. Guy on the phone told them to break the glass, guy with a truck said "Hey, I can do that for you!"
Nature!
