In this case I think Behringer directly copied the look and feel of the keystep because of its amazing success in the low budget controller space. I don't expect much innovation in the budget controller space, but this one seems to be a clear case of trademark/copyright infringement if "rounded corners" can be protected.

The Brain ‘Rotates’ Memories to Save Them from New Sensations
In fact, the existence of written history is a pretty good indicator of the degree of chaos.

It wasn't just Italy that suffered with the collapse of the Roman system. Written history nearly disappeared from Spain, North Africa, France, Belgium, England, the Balkans, etc...

The notable difference is, of course, the surviving East Roman Empire, which continued for another 1000 years. The contrast between conditions in former Roman Western Europe, and the East Roman Empire very much highlight the degree of collapse that occurred.
Add gold to that list.

I use the Philips-SHP9500S headphones. I found they were very uncomfortable with the ear pads they came with. I replaced the ear pads with some thinker ones (Shure HPAEC940) and it really helped a lot.

This is for both. Election interference is mentioned in the third sentence.
First of all, there's nothing special about USB mics in terms of picking up ambient noise. Two main types of mics are dynamic and condensers, and there are models with USB-connectivity of both those types.

Secondly, hearing typing when someone types is ok, so please don't treat it as a problem in itself. Obnoxious noise level is a problem, which can be solved by increasing SNR: bringing the mic closer to the sound source, swapping a mic for another transducer type or another polar pattern, putting some kind of dampening on the line of sight between the mic and the noise source.

I've written a guide for voice recording which covers most of the basics. Hope you'll find it helpful:

Sorry but that is the typical FUD regarding Java and Oracle.

OpenJDK and Oracle Java are as different as Red-Hat Fedora and Red-Hat Enterprise Linux.

If you don't want to pay for Red-Hat Enterprise Linux support, just go with Fedora, or any other Linux distribution.

It is exactly the same with Java distributions.
In which way? In that this alliance deserves a lot more skepticism (if Apple of all companies didn't join)? Or in that Apple should be more supportive of securing open, non-Apple platforms (if Facebook of all companies joined)?
If your attempted argument is "X helps people who are not helped by other existing treatments", then limiting your selection criteria to those who have tried several existing treatments and not found success seems to follow logically.

(Though the study's construction seems to fail at that argument, since the claim is that all patients, both those given the psilocybin and those given the SSRI, improved markedly.)
Does anyone know where to find suitable equivalent electrical models of speakers and piezo buzzers?

So, for example, a speaker will become an inductor with a series resistor to represent losses, and another resistor to represent power that is converted to audio.

The reason for asking is that I want to be able to plug it into a simulator (spice) and also simulate the mechanical part (using an electrical equivalent circuit).

EDIT: found something here: https://audiojudgement.com/speaker-equivalent-circuit/
You wouldn't see much _practical_ difference between CDK and Pulumi (or Terraform!) for that use-case. The workflow would feel almost identical.

Under the hood different things are happening.

Your CDK program would run with all the resources you declared. That would generate CloudFormation script(s) that get submitted to the CloudFormation service for evaluation. The CloudFormation service (running inside AWS) is the "execution engine" and is responsible for creating and tracking the state of your resources.

Pulumi would run your code, build an object graph, then do the "execution" itself - invoke all the required AWS API calls to create your resources (the API Gateway, the Lambda, etc etc) from where the CLI is running. The CLI would also be writing out all the resource state to somewhere.

The tradeoffs are in line with what you might expect. The Pulumi approach is more powerful, but you "own" more of the complexity since it lives on your side of the responsibility boundary.

Some people prefer AWS to be the execution engine; they feel it's more reliable to let AWS provision resources and keep track of state. They like it that AWS is responsible and will fix bugs.

Others prefer the increased control of "owning" the execution engine. This means being able to debug it or extend it with third party or custom providers that let you provision new resource types. They're happy that they don't need to wait for AWS to fix things, they can do it themselves if they have to.

This is not the only difference between the two tools but it is one of the most fundamental ones.
Atom isn't really being developed anymore, as this 1 year window shows:

https://public-001.gitsense.com/insights/github/repos?q=wind...

In the last year, there were only 73 contributors with the vast majority of contributors making very small changes.

Compare this to vscode:

https://public-001.gitsense.com/insights/github/repos?r=gith...

with 389 contributors with over 20 contributors working on it pretty much full time.
Sigh.

Strictly the low orbits of StarLink actually make it a sort of non-issue: there's PLENTY of atmospheric friction at the orbits used so re-entry is only a matter of time.

The bigger issue is higher orbits where orbital decay has far small perturbations to rely on. Those can be 10,000 year orbits which makes for a real problem.
I would imagine that the main use case is texting or typing documents, so it's encouraging that it worked well for that.
That is because nobody is running in these isolation levels.

The only time I have dabbled with those levels was with a work queue and concurrent workers competing for the work ( rows ).
On the contrary, parties can be very safe environments. Much like there are better and worse places to drink, there are better and worse places for taking other drugs. A lot of factors play into the setting. Music is very often a plus, feelings of freedom, being outside, good weather, like-minded people – relaxed open air festivals make for a good example.

Reminds of Dave Ungar haunting OOPSLA talks for some time. There were only two possibilities:

1. The idea you presented was something SELF already did and therefore uninteresting.

2. The idea your presented was not like what SELF already did, and therefore wrong.

I hear he has mellowed.
> Now w.r.t. the Church's historical position toward the Jews, I suggest you look at the papal bull...

You could also look at what the Church actually did towards Jews, for example in Spain.

It is both hilarious and chilling that you justify the persecution of Jews with Christians being "disadvantaged" in comparison because they couldn't lend money at interest.
I am surprised to hear that living in Louisiana was a barrier - we have remote workers in a large number of states. Not sure if we are still hiring in Data Engineering, but it probably wouldn't hurt to reach out and reapply if this was pre/early-COVID. It's a good company to work for - excellent learning / growth culture and a lot of very smart people who don't have cookie cutter software backgrounds.
There are very good USB mics like the Blue Yeti for example. Plug and play with just one cable. You don't have to have a studio recording setup to get your voice to come through nicely.
Lesson learned: always have a number to call, always have the ability to get a hold of a flesh-and-blood human being. My company mandates this as a minimal requirement for all our SaaS providers.

With regards to having a mitigation strategy we take another tactic: what's the SaaS provider's mitigation strategy? How do they cope with data center loss, communications loss - what processes and procedures do they have in place? Any business-worthy SaaS provider has this information readily available. Any hemming or hawing is a sign of trouble.
You must be joking. It will take about 5 minutes for technology to render this obsolete. Authoritarians always use innocuous sounding reasons to implement censorship. It starts with pirates, then onto dissenters.
That's not an accurate view. Even within the US the competition between Boeing and LM is pretty intense. Our allies are not somehow being strong armed into buying the F-35. The allies not buying it are generally doing so because they like to use their spending to build domestic industry, like France, or because they simply don't have the budget for anything beyond a previous generation fighter.

Ye, it has, and also many other forms of mental illness.

> Were our current guidelines to diagnose depressive episodes with around a century ago?

Certainly not, but researchers are very capable of looking at historical records and detect evidence to treated or untreated conditions.

Furthermore, people have been describing their own emotions and other people's behaviors since recorded history.

There's an army of psychologists, anthropologist, sociologists and geneticists out there studying the history of mental illness. Among many, prof. Sapolsky comes to mind.

That would be somewhat odd; isn't Oracle building off the openjdk as well?

And I have trouble crediting the idea that moving to openjdk is anywhere near the effort to move to a completely different language+platform, even if there are differences.
That is quite true, its is probably very difficult for a single person in Italy to go live on their own due to house prices. But as a culture, Italians might also not feel any need to leave home as soon as other people.

I live in a neighboring country, Malta, and we share some similarities. Because our country are two small islands, housing is very expensive. So we have a unique case where a lot of people live with their parents until they get married or are in a very very stable relationship/financially well. This makes us very dependant on our parents, but it is not as bad as people make it seem. Our parents can depend on us to help and we continue saving.

There isin't a lot that can be done. Moving to one of the Northern European countries will not solve the problems our Southern countries are having.
"a" should be used here rather than "an". The letter "U" is a vowel but in this word has the sound of a "Y".
That is one of many workarounds the various paywall-buster browser extensions use. Either setting to the Google crawler user-agent, or the Google AdBot agent. I would guess you would need to not send cookies also. They could also be clever and check that your IP/Netblock is a Google owned one.
I don’t know.

People used to pay for newspaper subs before. In real terms, this price is relatively cheap. Gathering facts requires time, money and able reporters.

I know people got spoiled for a while with free news. It’s time to go back to reality and pay for good news reporters.
It's more spiritually oriented than 'posture' and other pedantic things although arguably that helps.

From the article: "a way the sacred can come into life”.

Basically a way to strengthen the resonance of the chakras and effectively 'raise the Kundalini fire' i.e. to help you achieve a specific kind of enlightenment.

Or at least in their view. [1]

This is effectively the point of 'Yoga' in it's greater sense, it's just rarely communicated in those terms. The degree to which people practice Yoga and don't realize that it's an intensely religious exercise, mostly designed to bring them to (supposed) 'enlightenment' is a little baffling.

Well, did you really read it? In what respect do you consider it to be "obscure"? Because they used other terms to name the concepts?

You mean he should have patented it? Is this really the way to go: scientists in machine learning have to patent their work to make sure it's properly attributed in future?
Except that since several releases Oracle Java is basically OpenJDK + Support.
Don't worry, all that's not getting widely used anyway. Cool startups don't touch Java anyway, and places like banks are still firmly at Java 8. My current employer is somewhat progressive, whole system is just a couple of years old, design is very much modern, microservices, event sourcing, reactive, cool reactive frontend on websockets, etc etc.

Still Java 8 for the most part. Java 11 is actually allowed, but not many people care including me. Existing Scala code is getting thrown away and rewritten back into Java.

JDK is different story tho. I think devops are actively experimenting to put 11 into base image by default, but startup time different is funny argument. 1 second, really? By the time your usual spring boot service comes up and connects to all topics and caches and what not it's good part of a minute anyway.
That doesn't refute what I said at all. Yes, they have an opinion section. They also inject a lot of opinion into articles that are nominally straight news.
It's more like Apple loves to push their own standard on products

People said the same thing about Apple and USB. iPod and FireWire. MacBooks and Bluetooth. Apple not supporting HD-DVD. Apple not adding Blu-Ray to SuperDrive. Apple and DisplayPort. Apple when it released its first Airport.

It didnt matter that other companies were also using the same standards and methods. People are hypersensitive to what Apple both does and does not do.
+1 on spotting the author's agenda.

The Renaissance was also highly influenced by the conquest of Constantinople and the wealthy refugees that flooded into Italy.
Your grandfather - just like mine - was born a farmer and, statistically speaking, likely stayed a farmer his entire life. Today's United States offers the level of social mobility never experienced in any other country or at any other time in human history.

But there's a catch... the social mobility you get here in the US comes with a higher reward but also a higher risk. If you play your cards well, you'll skip quite a few levels and can go from a poor immigrant to a decamillionaire within a single generation. But if you play them poorly, you might not only be left with nothing and become homeless, but you might literally get killed by disease or the police (yes, that happens elsewhere as well, but not within the runner up countries).

So there you have it - what kind of a risk-to-reward ratio do you want? If you're shooting for the moon, come to the US, get a shitty laptop, start learning to code, and get a job in tech (no, you don't have to go to Harvard to get a 6-digit job as a developer). If you'd rather make sure that the chances of the worst case scenario are as low as possible, I'd recommend a socialist democracy like Austria where the government will never let you to drop below a certain level of comfort.
Well, given that most people still use Windows, VB-Audio software mixer and virtual soundcard plus Cantabile as effect host together work exceedingly well.

And cost nothing or very little. (But do support the authors.)

Hardware has ease of setup and excellent knobs going for it, but if you're going for cheap, you should spend money on a condenser microphone, some mounting hardware (e.g. gooseneck, spider mount, maybe pop filter) and audio interface first.

$200 put there makes for professional quality audio.
t.bone SC 400 and an interface that does phantom power, like one of the cheaper Focusrite or Presonus ones. (If you feel extra cheap, you can go lower price on interfaces but it's not worth it.)

Surely it doesn't matter what the specification says? If the majority of the hashpower is using an implementation which deviates from the spec, then the blockchain will follow that code and not the 'correct' version. By the time the devs have fixed the bugs, it will be too late and too costly to roll back the chain and reverse all the subsequent transactions.
Good point. If someone joins the Marines, they are not paid much but I assume they have a sense of pride in being a Marine. Contractors working for the military are not officially employed and often they're put to work on projects we do not want our military employees doing, but they do it for much higher pay. Law enforcement officials generally have a similar level of pride in their service and are recognized with a badge, uniform, respect, etc. If the contractors that Facebook is putting to work on content moderation don't really get to be part of the Facebook employee roster but are having to do difficult work on par with what many law enforcement personnel have to handle, should they perhaps be compensated far more than Facebook employees just like how a black ops contractor is paid far more than a uniformed Marine? If that's too expensive for Facebook, then perhaps Facebook is not running a profitable business and we should just let it fail.
Occur to? Sure.

Actively push to get on the roadmap and implemented, when the moderators are in another state employed via a third party contractor with no direct contact to said managers/engineers? Less likely.
Incoming calls are often free (unless you are in "roaming" mode, i.e. outside your city).

There may be an elite consensus, but more often than not that can differ from what is actually being spoken.

For example, in linguistics studies AAVE (or “Ebonics”) is considered like other dialects to basically have a grammar of its own that is internally consistent, and it is the first English of a fairly large population.

That’s before we get into which English is the “correct” one; there’s British English, American English, etc. for the US and CANZUK, but there’s also Indian English, Singaporean English, Euro English, etc.

> empire just can’t stop expanding

You’re identifying a deficiency of imperial systems. They were one of the only ways to get growth in our close to zero sum past. In a world with a growing global economy, on the other hand, warring and imperialism are self-defeating long run strategies.

$900 for the Kickr direct-drive trainer (plus the cost of a bicycle, if you don't own one)

And then $15/month for Zwift.

Peloton is $2500 (if you want auto-resistance). And then a $40/month subscription. And if Peloton folds, or changes their mind on services, or obsoletes the device you purchased, you're SOL.

I have my Kickr set up in the basement. It's no less convenient than a Peloton - it's there all the time, and I run Zwift through an iPad (but it will run on a laptop, Apple TV, Android phone, etc).
An explosive joke made in poor taste, agreed.

> people want to sit on their couch and enrich their net worth without doing any work

That doesn't scale. It's not possible for society to offer this to a majority of people in any short term scenario, because if 'enrich their net worth' means anything beyond a number going up, there needs to be increased production of goods and services that they consume. That means that you can only get this if you win the risk lottery. Longer term, if we get massive levels of automated production, the number of opportunities for this kind of life can increase, but deflation is much more likely to diminish the production capacity of a society than increase it.

In an economy in deflation the pressure is for wages to go down - either by reducing the number of jobs, or by reducing what they pay. It's hard to imagine a society accepting such a situation happily.

That's simply not true. Where I am (Germany) - it's way simpler to buy Bitcoin than stocks, let alone something more exotic especially if you want to invest a small sum. Tax implications and fees are also currently easier to work out (at smaller sums). It's been the same in other countries I've lived (e.g. UK) for over 5 years.
I suppose many of us (including myself) are waiting for Java 17 LTS release so that there's is a single migration phase (8 -> 17) rather than doing it now (8 -> 11) and also (11 -> 17) after few months.
The US already imposed basically all the sanctions it can without just straight up trying to fuck over the Russian people as much as possible (the Russian people still got pretty fucked by sanctions already). Because of previous sanctions the Russian economy has a high degree of independence now and impact of sanctions is pretty limited.
