Hidden Brain. It's a psychology podcast, but it's aimed at anyone who wants to understand their minds more. I'm not in the field of psychology, but I certainly enjoy it.

Soft Skills Engineering for software engineers, about soft skills. They have fun.

Most of the music I listen to is OST, so I have a ton of those playlists where it's the full soundtrack, whether or not I like the specific song.

And then I have two other dedicated playlists. One is called "Eclectic series," which is composed of literally anything I find in the wild and like, and therefore is my largest playlist (besides one huge playlist surrounding a certain webcomic). The other is similar in inspiration, but is music that I liked and want to keep for reference but probably wouldn't want showing up in my shuffle queue. This tends to be any lyrical music that I find and like.

And then I just throw it all except the lyrical music into a third-party music shuffler.

The trade-offs with this model are that it takes a lot less effort to build up your playlist because everything goes into basically one place, and so your library and exposure grow fairly quickly, but at the cost of less control at playback, since everything is either grouped canonically or unsorted altogether.

Works for me since I don't listen to much lyrical music and can get into the dynamic flow and artistry of the music without the distraction of words, but it's probably not great for people who enjoy lyrics and poetry.

Edit: I should mention that I've been working on-and-off on a tool that automates and facilitates playback for god-lists and ant-lists alike for a while now. It's been a minute since I've touched it, but maybe I should get back to it.

Certainly. I don't think I ever watched or played it, but I remember young me pronouncing it "zack-see-oh zack-see-oh" every time it came up, which was a lot because I lived on Flash games.

I've never gotten Costco socks, but when I was researching the best pair of socks to get for my dad, everyone was raving over them, comparing them to the Darn Tough brand. If they're not holding up like that anymore, then that's unfortunate because I was really looking forward to trying them out some day.

The issue is that you've made an assumption about an entire culture based on your own external experiences, and when confronted with opinions beyond your limited view, you ignore them because they don't immediately make sense to you.

Sounds familiar.

Floating points included for thoroughness!

 

I'm mainly curious about software developers here, or anyone else whose computer is somewhat central to their life, be it professional or hobbyist.

I only have two monitors—one directly in front of me, and another to the right of it, angled toward me. For web development, I keep my editor on the main screen, and anything auxiliary (be that a dev build, a video, StackOverflow, etc.) on the side screen.

I wouldn't mind a third monitor, and if I had one, I'd definitely use it for log/output, since currently it's a floating window that I shuffle around however necessary. It could be smaller than the other two, and I might even turn it vertical so I could split the screen between output and a terminal, configuring a AutoHotKey script to focus the terminal.

What about y'all?
