I'm still mostly without words; I just hear Ralph's voice in my head when I think about his passing. He was a force of warm, kind, friendly enthusiasm. We miss you, rillian.
Q, more than any other glyph, is the letter that never fails to look weird in every typeface when I spend too much time looking at it/re-re-re-re-designing it.
Waiting for the Derek Lowe post, but... if this is legit, it's a 'holy flipping s**' moment. That kind of success in Phase I human trials is incredibly rare.
This is actually some wonderful work that succinctly explains a lot of my experience. Much of how I was formally taught to program is counterproductive to the big picture the second someone else has to understand the code. It's part of the reason that I hate dealing with Rust and C++, and breathe a sigh of relief when the codebase I need to suck into my head is good old C. C offers fewer ways to hide all the working code in six layers of templates.
Nice to hear that it resonates with your experience. I liked C for the exact same reason. Switched to Golang recently, simplicity is cherished here too!
Short answer is 'bugs', possibly even in the reviewer's own software. Opus (and I would fully expect AAC-LC) preserves time alignment. Something unknown, somewhere unknown, in an unknown part of the unknown software chain caused an unknown shift, and it's not necessarily by an integer number of samples. You can't use this 'enh, whatever, good enough' approach and expect to do meaningful null analysis, even if you're using it inappropriately.
In all seriousness, every aspect of this comparison is somewhere between deeply flawed and invalid. No point dwelling on just one part.
