  • A band is 3-5 ish people just vibing and making it up together. When you get into a studio, now you have at least one engineer in the group. If a record label is involved, you have their representative as well as all their money. So it’s a lot of chefs in the kitchen when it comes to making an actual recording.

    The biggest influence outside of the band though is usually the engineer. As an outsider with a vested interest in making the song as good as it can be, they often have really great insight into changes that can make the song even better.

    Finally, when you’re playing live even with a click track in your ear, you’re going to want to rush. And that’s ok, it’s fun to play fast. You may not even notice it. And then you go into the booth to record and you end up laying out what you had in your head from the start.



  • On the one hand yes. But, and this is a big but, typically when ships are sunk by the government, a lot of environmental impact studies and decontamination processes are preformed. The goal is usually to create artificial reefs, which is pretty useful because of how much damage we’ve done to the natural habitats.

    Does it balance out, or make up for it? I don’t know, I’m not smart enough. But I do know the artificial reef projects are greatly appreciated and highly desired by local governments.



  • If Rust had been around when I was an underclassman, I would have been totally locked into the full CompSci track. Instead, I got introduced to Java and C (and calculus…) and that looked like a nightmare compared to what I had been playing with in JS/Python land, so I noped on out of there and got a Comp Sci Lite degree.

    Years later, I’m just completely in love with Rust.




  • Square chickened out after manchildren ree’d about the really interesting changes made in Remake, kinda walking it back and trying to pretend it didn’t happen. And ironically, that’s kind of just worse, because those nerds are never going to be happy with what happened in Remake and its ramifications in Rebirth and ReThree, my nerds are mourning for what we could’ve had, and Square looks kinda pathetic and easily bullied.






  • My actual professional advice: cut portainer out of your learning. Stick to compose as your only docker abstraction and you’ll be a wizard in no time. I have portainer running in my sea of self hosted apps and never use it. If you let some app generate compose files for you, or even just blindly use an app’s example compose file, you’ll never fully understand what’s happening and it’ll make things much more difficult to debug.

    4: yes, every container will show up in portainer. 5: I don’t know 6: this is one of the reasons why I personally hate piling layers onto tools. Very often someone else’s opinion does not jive with mine.
