As someone who spent 4 years working on a PhD (wireless/RF technology) and then quit, your points 2 and 3 ring a lot of bells. I think "journal of failed experiments" is a wonderful idea.
Very true, which is why I chose to respond to this thread in particular as the OP was highlighting the difficulty in testing acoustic performance and praising the expertise of the engineers and I really do appreciate the task at hand.

If I was reading this thread without experiencing it for myself I would be saying the exact same thing. Unfortunately for me (and lots of others according to the Bose forums) my subjective experience is the complete opposite of the outcome of these tests.

Luckily it is looking like they tested the wrong upgrade path which is reassuring as I have no idea how I could refute the tests otherwise.
What about not doing any curation at all?

It works for desktop software where users know what is the best software for their particular needs.

What branch of physics? There are hundreds of published null results looking for dark matter or Supersymmetry, for example. Instead of documenting a failed search, the papers focus on what versions of the theories the experiment excludes to 95% confidence.

"An important piece of feedback we’ve received from the community during this discussion is that you want the ability to downgrade the firmware on your Bose QC35 product. Today, we’re re-introducing the ability to downgrade firmware QC35 II to 4.3.6 and QC35 series 1 to 2.5.5 via the Bose BTU site for a limited time."

A limited time? Why? How limited?

A Coronavirus Conundrum
In context of semi-serious strength training, virtually no one progresses long on increasing intensity only. Increasing weight + maintaining rep scheme, basically linear periodization exhausts itself in months. Medium-term, it's an inefficient method to gain strength due to repetitive bout effect, and fairly dangerous - lots of people injure themselves pushing too hard on 3x5s (i.e. starting strength) when the periodization scheme simply stops working for them. Sooner than (not or) later, people have to periodize, mess with variations, delve into programming. Even if you're smart about it injury is very common. For a general population extra complexity and injury risk is something to be optimized against when it's simply not necessary to ever develop that much strength for daily functioning.

I would say the vast majority of people are not capable of lifting in a maximally safe manner. In the powerlifting injury survey around half of trainees suffer some form of injury, this includes novice trainees. My experience in the body building community is similar. That's too high on a population scale. Lifting enthusiasts get hurt all the time for the hobby, that's their prerogative. But no reason to endorse it for people who don't share strength/aesthetic goals and could get most of the benefit from extremely modest and much safer training.

I'm not trying to denigrate barbell training, I think it's essential component to physical well being, but I don't think most popular strength templates are well aligned to overall public health or the mentality to train for general health. Their philosophy is based around training which will quickly lead people to conflate pursuing personal best with essential fitness, and TBH most people drop out of the habit they stop progressing after a few years and lose motivation. The people who lift the longest are those who can accept putting 4-8 hours at a gym every week for a year to add 5lbs to a lift or those who don't fixate on numbers and are content with just going through the motions for health.
Normally I would agree, but in this current shit-show of a market even investments in Delta can evaporate. Looks like everyone's suffering. Imagine even healthcare ETFs saw a 15% loss so far.

I also had a great experience with Bose costumer service a while ago. I had them for more than one year. The audio was cutting off in one of the headphones. I emailed them about the issue and I got a new pair mailed to me right away. No fuss. I didn’t have to mail mine first. They got a customer for life with me.
You could have a file with functions binding, for example, `grep` to `my_grep`, then `source` that file in a subshell:

)

I don't buy that the base axioms are alien and it doesn't matter anyway.

I can give you an alien language of logical axioms, and a series of steps, none of which a random person wouldn't be able to understand, but could still lead them through a series of steps, showing that the outcome could be derived from the input via the axioms.

Now, if nobody could understand the axioms and steps of this but they still got a consistent outcome, mathematicians would still be interested if for no other reason than it was self-consistent. That alone would be a result.

But if they had that, I suspect that would also give them a framework for understanding it.

I sometimes bake stuff. But had problems with one particular recipe. When changed the proportions I always failed. Tried it over and over. Only to find out one of the baking measurements that's over 20 years old showed the correct measure at 1dl but incorrect on 2 and 2.5 dl. And the recipe only worked when I used the incorrect measurement.

As someone who identified as a minimalist until a while back, I’d argue that the primary lesson I’ve learned from it is not necessary to thrive for the minimal possible amount of items, but to _keep track_ of the things you own. I do for example have a list of all my personal belongings and update that list _before_ I ever buy something; this way you get the same benefit of “feeling in control” without having any detrimental effects on your quality of life/self-reliance.
Oh, we mostly agree. My point was more that the amount of strength people can get out of something like Starting Strength is more than sufficient for anything useful for general healthy fitness.

The limits of linear progression (and three sessions a week) put a nice limit on how much you can wear out your body. Basically, when you can no longer go up, just stay there.

I did Starting Strength myself for a while, and even for too long. Once I switched to the same author's Texas Method (a simple weekly program), I managed to eke out a bit more progress on my lifts again.

> You're shilling for a regime that has gutted engineers and experts out of PDVSA in favor of political allies with no industry knowledge

That's their right. It's their country. Lots of people are upset at Trump's choices. But that's our business and I certainly would take offense to people says we should be invaded over that.

> and then claiming that the US is responsible for the extreme poverty in Venezuela that predated US sanctions by years.

It's true. Economic sanctions and the efforts to destabilize venezuela is partly responsible for it. If sanctions were not effective, especially against smaller nations, we wouldn't be using it in the first place.

> Below, you are shilling for a Bolivian leader who introduced a new constitution with term limits, and then violated those term limits himself by claiming that he had a "human right" to run for reelection.

Merkel was elected 4 times. Should we invade germany? The bolivian leader got the term limit constitutionally changed. Every country has the right to do that. It is a right of every constitutional democracy. And he won the election by a wide margin. What is there to be upset about?

> Shame on you.

No. Shame on you for being anti-democratic and pushing for invasion of nations and advocating for the suffering of millions of people. Take a step back and look at what you wrote.

Let the venezuelans and bolivians work out their own problems? Why are you so set on invading and destroying these people? What's in it for you? Also, what happened to the throwaways attacking me?

Hi,

I had the same problem as you and was very disappointed. Up until this problem I was very happy with the QC35, which I have used for hundreds of hours.

I followed the below YouTube video a few weeks ago, and the problem has not returned.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r3qHSaWi4X8

The process took about 20-30 minutes and was relativity easy, however some parts are quiet small and it took a few tries to get them into the correct position.

The problem is the switch becomes loose and touches multiple contacts, making the headphones turn back on. Don't bother with all the other troubleshooting advice Bose has told people to do (updates, resets, pair & unpair etc), the problem is a physical problem with the switch.
In WebRTC spec (although not super mandatory but the current way to go), the client no longer signals its sending SSRCs into the SDP but a MID and optional RID values (if simulcast is in use), and those MID and RID are not supposed to be unique across all participants (not at all, but neither SSRCs are supposed to). Those MID and RID values are signaled in the SDP and then included into RTP packets as header extensions. The remote matches RTP packets based on them and then learns the associated SSRC for a faster lookup for future packets.

Anyway, WebRTC is not just about RTP. In fact, before RTP happens, ICE and DTLS must de done.
Very clear and crisp overview of the compilation process!
I'd say Svelte is much closer to "regular" programming. You will have to bend your thinking a bit with Elm.

Svelte seems great, but it seems to be developed by one person primarily. Also, that person lives in NY and the project looks paused at the moment.
Some thoughts on dataframe.

- Don't put methods on it like pandas.DataFrame. You won't get the API right the first many times and you'll end up with a million methods.

- Make chaining easy.

- Use pure functions. No mutation.

- Get inspired by R's dplyr and data.table.
Of course I can use timed notifications. There is also snooze for continuation.

That is not the point here tho. The point was to reinvent it with something more subtle :)
This is very useful. I have just started contributing to svelte and it was a bit overwhelming even though the bugs were very well isolated in the codebase.
Doesn't sound unrealistic if you consume a lot of audio media when working and in your free time.

168 hours in a week, minus the 70 hours leaves 98 hours free. Lets say you sleep 8 hours a day, 56 hours each week. 98 - 56 leaves 42 hours where they are not sleeping and not wearing the headphones. More than enough for showers!

I think I also listen to music or podcasts for around 9-10 hours a day currently, one way or another (for example, I usually listen to music while showering, way more fun). Most of the time I have background music on, unless I'm outside hiking or social gatherings. Then one of my hobbies are making music... But right now I'm doing 0 hiking and 0 social gatherings, so lots of music.

> Minimalism is tiny houses, floor-to-ceiling glass condos

I always see this criticism and don’t understand it. I’ve been going on ever since I was a 10 year old kid in the 90s (well before “minimalism” was trendy) about how one day I wanted a tiny, well-designed house with giant floor-to-ceiling glass windows. I think it’s natural to enjoy sunlight, so I’m not sure what the article is suggesting—that people should want tiny windows again?
Thanks so much! I had a mind to work on this the other week (even started up a boilerplate) and then got distracted. So glad you stayed on task more than I did.
FYI in bash there's somehow similar `command` built-in.

Say you have an alias that overrides `ls`. When you want to run original ls, you run `command ls`.

This is honestly a terrible take. NJ did try to modernize the benefits system in 2007, awarding the contract to a company that is now owned by HP.

And the historical record showed that NJ made that realization at least before 2007 (which is when the contract was awarded)

>> As I got more serious about cooking I donated a lot of extra pans and doo-dads. Previously, I would just collect things and as I learned more about what made something good and why, I could narrow down to 1 or 2 higher quality items (knives, pans, etc). As I learned more techniques, I needed fewer specialty items.

Same experience here. Conclusion : if we'd educate people better on how to cook rather than showing them hours of advertising on the latest magical tool to cook a steak, we'd make their life easier and so much more minimalist.

So, in my experience, if you learn to cook and accept that cooking takes a bit more time you mainly need (for french cuisine) :

- 1 or 2 frying pan (buy a large one, multi-ply, heavy stuff, it's expensive : around 150 euro each, but will outlast you)
- a cast iron casserole (for long cook)
- just one teflon-like pan for frying fish (frying fish without that is possible but requires a lot of fat)
- a few cooking pots (buy inox)
- a short knife (buy expensive, around 60€, make sure the blade goes to the end of the handle)
- a chef knife (ditto)
- a big wooden cutting board (it allows you to use your chef knife efficiently)
- 2 or three large bowls (inox or earthenware, no plastic)
- a hand blender
- a whisker
- learn to use your oven if you have one, it's very useful
- baking paper is very useful and cheap
the rest just comes from regular stuff (glasses, regular knife, spoons, etc)

with that material you can go a loooooong way.

(forget about KitchenAid, Cookeo, and many other things)

etc.

The law of invariance – Do things really change?
Everything changes. However, I see a continuity in the way we react to them. The measures we take to counter the unknown might be small or unprecedented depending on the novelty and severity, but we seem to follow a pattern.

Step 1: Encounter an unknown situation
Step 2: Analyse whether we have remotely been into some similar situation.
Step 3: If yes: then try to use it as a point of reference to tackle this new situation. Then go to Step 5
Step 4: If no: Take some unprecedented measure never seen before. Then go to Step 5.
Step 5: Learn from the outcomes and improve on the solution.
Step 6: Take measures to ensure we are prepared similar scenarios in the future.
Step 7: Change old regulations or introduce new ones to proactively thwart any such occurrences in the future.

We can notice this pattern throughout our history. 9/11, SARS, COVID-19, World Wars, Cold-War, Tsunami, Chernobyl, the British colonization of India or Lehman Brothers. The way we have responded would conform to the above algorithm.

The problem though is that it gives us a false sense of preparedness. Say there was a burglary at my house. What would I do? I would report it to the authorities, enhance my security, put up a better lock, put up some security cameras. All my neighbours would have learnt their lessons and the authorities would become more vigilant as well. We all are ready to handle any burglar now, aren't we? What if burglar learns to teleport, or become invisible though? Did we think of that? Are we really prepared?

Stupid it might seem but the biggest tectonic shifts that the humankind has seen are because of these seemingly unknown instances that we at some point of time thought to be extremely bizarre to even consider it, and yet, there are few, be it nature, virus or human beings etc., who are working hard to make these crazy things happen, and they do happen.

When we look from 30,000 meters above the ground, things don't really change, do they?
