I think a major part of the problem is that if you tell people that they "aren’t equipped to assess risks" then that will probably reinforce their position.

This is a consistent bugbear of mine, and I think a big factor in the resurgence of vinyl. I find it frustrating I can take a recording from a format with limited dynamic range and stereo separation, which is incredibly vulnerable to environmental contamination and vibration, where the playback device adds its own bundle of mechanical noise and unusual non-linear responses... and yet if I have a good pressing it will sound better than a "digital remaster" CD which has none of these inherent issues, because the digital copy has been compressed and limited to the point where it's fatiguing to listen to.

That said, I've bought a few modern albums which have been really nicely mastered; they've got that rich, deep '70s LP sound but available on a FLAC download without all the surface noise and rumble.

Also that section on the '60s loudness war underplays quite how LOUD some of those old mono 45s are... I typically set things up so my peaks are at -12dB when recording, and I have the odd mid-1960s single which will be pegged right up against the red if I don't adjust the levels. No wonder there were some pressings that were notorious for throwing the stylus out of the groove when people started chasing ultra-low tracking weights in the early '70s.

My biggest gripe with Jellyfin, Emby, Plex etc. is the lack of .rar-support.

Other than that i've found the meta-data to be "better" in emby/jellfin compared to Kodi.

A common complaint about Itanium was that it was an overpriced DSP masquerading as general purpose CPU.
That's way worse than loud mastering. There is no reasonable general method of compressing the mixbus at playtime, it depends on the source material and musical considerations. Its not even possible to find the right compression level without using your ears.

To be fair, I believe mastering is one of those domains that may soon be made obsolete with machine learning. But we're not quite there yet, and the existing methods require a lot of DSP power.
One more factor I think should be taken into account is how much learning people get out of their work.

The hash table implementation can be much faster. Dyalog APL's Unique (∪) computes exactly the same function using a dedicated hash table.

∪ 'AABBADCAB'
ABDC
≢∪ a←{⍵[?⍨≢⍵]} {⍵,⍵[(?⍴)⍨≢⍵]} 5e5?2e9 ⍝ 1e6 ints with 50% unique
500000
cmpx '∪a' ⍝ Time taken by ∪a in seconds
1.8E¯2

So 18ns per element on a million elements (at 3.5GHz). Characteristics of the hash table we use include:

- Hashing with the Murmur3 mixing function (at the top of [1]), not the full hash function

- Open addressing with ints stored directly in the hash table

- Sentinel value for empty slots chosen to be outside the argument's range

- [edit] Preallocated fixed-sized table. It should be resizable when the argument is large enough; I will fix that some day.

We know the range of the argument since we check it in order to possibly apply small-range code, which can use an ordinary lookup table rather than a hash table. In 18.0, which features a largely rewritten Unique implementation (not much faster here), I applied some careful logic in order to use the first entry of the argument as the sentinel rather than trying to find a value not in the hash table.

Life should NEVER be about others who randomly value some ephemeral stuff that has no bigger meaning to you. NEVER.

Your life should be about what YOU value. If you want to work at a company which carefully selects for "passion programmers" you will hopefully also value that life style and it will be a natural match. If you value programming to that extent you will naturally be driven to do that and that's beautiful but not a life plan for everyone in IT.

Life is hard enough in all of its aspects - no one has the obligation to serve some sort of purpose that somebody pulled out of their ass since most of use probably don't live in Zerg states like China or North Korea where the consequence is some sort of punishment.

I strongly recommend that people live according to what they value themselves instead of making some billionaire richer in trade for burnout and your own well-being.

People must survive and some just want to get done their 9am-5pm shift everyday to get the bills paid because moving to a job that you love may even be impossible for some.

THAT'S FINE. People aren't obligated to work with a true fire of passion for Hewlett-Packard or burn with life and energy when programming the next ad-tracking feature for Facebook.

> Just don't be surprised that people doing code outside of work will probably get better jobs / get hired more easily.

Not really. Last time I was looking for job nobody cared about my personal projects. Like, they did not care at all. I have them.

But also, honestly, people I knew who spend a lot of time on their passion project systematically were not the most performing at work. They either tended to use work for socialization and chat a lot. Or were otherwise burn out (always working but slowly and not producing that much).

I guess that you cant really lie to yourself - working on passion project outside of work for 20 hours a week is exactly the same as working additional 20 hours on the job - consequences in low effectivity and tiredness are exactly the same.
-It does, of course, also depend on which MP3 encoder and settings you use; I did a most interesting (to me, anyway!) series of ABX trials on my own ears a few years ago.

From a 24/96 PCM master I prepared lots of transcodings - 16/44.1, 12/44.1, 8/44.1, 16/22, 12/22, 8/22, 320, 256, 192, 160, 128kbps mp3 with various options for encoding, ditto AAC - etc, etc.

I then used the (brilliant!) ABX plugin for Foobar and an excellent set of headphones, and after a few days I had a fair idea of how good my ears really were. Or, as it turns out, weren't. In most cases, 256kbps mp3 and red book were impossible to tell apart; 320kbps being indistinguishable in all but one case, if memory serves. However, at both 256 and 320kbps I had to listen hard for encoding artifacts rather than just enjoying the music.

Most tracks were eminently listenable at 192kbps mp3, but I could then reliably tell whether I listened to an mp3 or PCM without much effort.

Hard disk cost being what it is, I still ripped all my CDs lossless, though.

128kbps? I shudder at the thought of my 20-year-old-self telling myself and others that it was just about as good as uncompressed audio...

Oh, and you'd be surprised at how little dynamic range is actually utilized; on most tracks, telling 16/44.1 from 8/44.1 was next to impossible.

Can you also hash every key to effectively turn them into a number, and then perform radix sort?

If you hash with SHA-256 then any sorting operation seems like it’d just take O(256N)=O(N).

What am I missing? Clearly this cannot work because otherwise everyone would do this as we accept O(NlogN) as the norm!

I don't know what will work for you but here are a couple of things that helped me find the time/energy to work on side projects.

The first was taking more breaks at work so I don't get to that fried point. I think if you're fried it's almost impossible to enjoy coding outside of work.

The second was writing down the next step at a granular enough level for each of my side projects I could accomplish the next task in 15-30 minutes.

Third breaking up working on the side projects with a hobby. For me it's starcraft, but could be chess, watching a show or listening to music. I've noticed I can do 15 minutes of coding without winding back up into work mode.

Also purposefully having very low expectations of how much I'll accomplish each night. Tonight was literally submitting an empty csv to kaggle, and getting some data (any data) saved in my mobile app.

Have a bunch of side projects. I noticed that if I have 5-6 side projects the probability I want to work on at least one of them is higher. Hit a sticking point on the machine vision projects maybe make some progress on that mobile app, not in the mood for that then I'll test out that new web framework I've been meaning to try out.
K7 Athlon's actually just used EV6 bus, to the point where motherboards were compatible with each others if you made a connector adaptor and replaced firmware.

...my go-to-album when the perils of excessive dynamic range is to be avoided (cough) is Neil Young's 'Weld' live album.

It basically has two states: 'on' and 'off'.

> In conclusion, you think no company should adjust their prices, ever?

Obviously not. I am saying they have no incentive to change the price if the sales are inline or above with what they would have forecasted.

> Because the current price is the market price which is obviously the right price because it's the market price?
>
> It's circular reasoning, which can be applied to any sales situation - and if it explains everything, it explains nothing.

Again you don't seem to understand basic market economics. Your product is only worth what people are willing to pay for it. There is the odd exception to the rule (Head and Shoulders Shampoo being one of them, which is priced far higher than they originally intended because people assumed it didn't work because it was cheap).

Generally if there are two or more companies producing product X (in this case Computer Workstations and Laptops) then the market will coalesce around a particular price point for a particular specification. Sure there are those that will always stick to a brand, but the vast number of consumers won't be loyal.

Whether or not the company makes a profit on each unit sold is irrelevant to its market price. If they price their product higher than their competitors people will look at the alternatives.

e.g. I bought a MacBook Pro in 2015 because Apple's machine was cheaper than Lenovo, Dell for the same spec and had a better screen than any of the competitors machines.

This really isn't complicated stuff. I think that personal bias seems to cloud people to some basic truths.
> I didn't mean to imply that they became extinct, just that they were wiped out from the area by the fire

Right, what I meant was that it's easy to infer from your phrasing (as I did) that the animals were wiped out (even if just locally) in a way whose implications wouldn't include the population being restored (or mostly restored) within a couple years, as was the case for most of the populations studied (a couple of them did permanently dwindle to zero). I don't think this was necessarily implied by your comment, but I thought it'd be better to clarify for our and others readers' benefit.

> I don't understand what this means

Sorry for the poor phrasing. I'm referring to the central claim parrotted by news articles, that half a billion animals _have_ died during the fires, as opposed to the forecast that half a billion will die due to habitat destruction (which I claim in the rest of the comment is itself a suspect estimate).

> This study showed that the fires wiped out the animals under survey.

I don't believe this is accurate. They sampled ~zero animals in the study area, which is easily (and much more likely) explained by the animals spending less time in the burned area until the habitat was restored. The surviviros could easily have been leading fulfilling lives 300 yards away (bearing in mind that the study area was a 700x700 ft square). "no animals don't spend time in recently-burned areas" is a substantially different finding from "burned areas cause total animal death".

This is why the comparison to the wildfires is hairy. The effect depends a lot more on migration dynamics than simple assumptions of total death based on carrying capacity per species. An additional wrinkle for expanding the dynamic in this study to the scope of all animals affected by the wildfire is the fact that it's limited to small mammals: if I'm not mistaken, it's a fairly basic tenet of ecology that a collapse in prey population due in part to predation is accompanied by a boom in predator population, for obvious reasons (followed by oscillations in both populations until equilibrium is reached).
What Is Titan Family Security (Parental Control App) – All You Need to Know
Interesting numbers.. If I recall correctly, 72 PPI is the minimum recommended pixel density for digital prints, so the final result looks smooth and not "pixely".

In the specs for The Wall microLED display, they mention a pixel pitch of 0.84mm. A quick conversion (1 inch = 25.4mm) tells me that's roughly 30 pixels per inch - oh, right, that's what you meant by 31 PPI, you already calculated it. :)

Still, it's an attractive product, and I can imagine many use cases. Looks like the price range is $17~22K, for 9.6m x 5.4m dimension.
I don’t believe BBC is any better than NYT, WSJ or WaPo. I have seen BBC’s coverage of India at times can be highly slanted and headlines editorialised to the extent, even when the facts are correct, that you walk away with a different impression than what actually happened on the ground. If they can be slanted about one topic, it would be irrational to assume that they won’t be slanted about something else. Just that you’ll never be able to figure out if they were in fact biased or not because of the gell-mann amnesia effect.

At my first job they used a programming language that worked on top of c somehow developed by their sister company(used to be the same but split) all that to make a shitty ERP and eh...it was many, many gigabytes partially written by people now retired. I don't think the few images and other such stuff used were part of that (it also had a few random cobol files i encountered) and it had everything from the UI rendering and handling to a webserver i had to communicate with but about which nobody knew how it worked because the guy who made it was enjoying his olden days.

To be totally fair it was the biggest inefficient coding mess I've seen. I still regret not scanning and keeping the customerlist because if I did i'd be deep in that business right now making bank.
