Man this is depressing.

I don't want to learn tech because I'm afraid of getting my bones crushed by a steam roller.

I would rather learn tech because of the new and interesting things I can do with it.

Agreed. I listen to him because I want to know what's practical, not necessarily what's theoretically stimulating.

What do people think about soylent just replacing like 1-2 meals a day? And then you have your full course chicken breast and brown rice meal for dinner or something.

It seems like that might be a good compromise for people who are scared of their bones deteriorating, their kidneys waning, or their tissues slowly inflaming.

No one says you must eat only soylent day-in and day-out. But it sure seems like a nice way to save time and money on, say, a dozen meals per week.

Monads are easy. Do bother.

=D. Just need to be the discord to the Internet's harmony.

I'm jealous of this kid.

At first I was all, "oh man -- another small company trying to rip me off."

Up to 4x -- so what if it is "over the top"? That's advertising. You present your best results. You pick the stuff that sounds the best. Why? Because people are usually too ignorant (not necessarily a bad thing) to know what is good for them.

Anyway. Props to you guys (drorgil) for making a good product and standing by it.

"I hate choosing compression settings" -- but you don't have to. Diaz has shown in this thread, that a free, open-source encoder can automatically choose settings for you which work better than Beamr's.
