For a similar spatial audio experience I use foobar2000 and this plugin:
https://www.foobar2000.org/components/view/foo_dsp_dolbyhp
It is quite old, but still works perfectly fine with the newest foobar versions.

Download foobar2000. Go to Preferences -> Components -> "Install..." and install the Dolby Plugin.

Then get your "dolbyhph.dll". Unfortunately you need to find it on the internet, as it is technically copyrighted and distribution of that file is probably not allowed. SHA1 for dolbyhph.dll v1.20.0.276 is 819FC1EE87B15996B89328061693F4D37FD7DB39

Then go to Preferences -> Playback -> DSP Manager.
Add "Convert stereo to 4 channels" (sounds better and a little closer to the original imo) and "Dolby Headphone" to your active DSPs.
Click on the 3 dots next to "Dolby Headphone" to open its configuration. Select your "dolbyhph.dll", Room model "DH2", lower amplification to ~70% (avoids clipping), no dynamic compression.

Apply, and then listen to any stereo song you want. Enjoy!
Also try to experiment the DSPs (only Dolby, 4channels+Dolby, Upmix5.1+Dolby, ...) - they change live while you play a song.
I'm super disappointed China was excluded from the ISS. The world should be contributing on behalf of humanity together to expand space technology/exploration.

How is it the US trusts Russia but not China in this regard?

Good on China for pushing ahead and developing their own space program and their own space station.
That just proves the point you got lucky with what language features were used on the exercises.

Exactly. This thread is mindboggling.

Taste in music is purely subjective. If users enjoy listening to Spatial Audio, who are you to criticize it as a scam?
Oh and btw my phrasing may sound a bit harsh and personal but I was asking about the general idea you mentioned, not attacking you. (Just in case it might felt that way on your side of the screen). I just failed to write it clearer.

There's a Ken Burns documentary series on the history of jazz. It is not the best, but it is a very good into for understanding the history and development of jazz. For me, I used to dislike any vocal jazz, other than scat. This Ken Burns Jazz series illuminated me about vocals in jazz and now I appreciate them much more, and enjoy many. The series also gave me a context to understand and investigate deeper on my own.

Based on my own tests, once you have a 'normal' program that does a bit of IO, calls out some C based libraries etc. etc. I've rarely seen more than 10-20% performance increase across the whole program run.

For individual functions you can see 2-4 times speed up over pure python.

Most importantly, I've never seen it result in slower than cpython performance.

At some point, when and if you're paying commissions or other variable compensation, I have to recommend QuotaPath (quotapath.com). Coming from a technical background, you might be confused and slightly horrified to discover how often people run commissions out of complicated, semi-sentient Excel spreadsheets that are often incorrect let alone unwieldy. Having a an easy commissions process can make a sales organization easier to run, sure, but earnings transparency can make sales people more effective at selling. Getting it right early on can pay dividends going forward.

It's probably obvious, but I should disclose that I'm a co-founder at QuotaPath. If anyone from HN ends up giving it a shot, let me know. We're always happy to get feedback.

> The fact that a map() function tells you that you're converting elements of lists does not save you from understanding what is that conversion doing and why.

It can actually, say you have a query that comes in, this calls a function that fetches records from the database, it's not a basic query, it has joins, perhaps a subquery, etc.
Then you have another function that transforms the results into whatever presentational format, decorates, wtv, those results, and it's also more than a few basic couple lines of logic.

And now you have a bug report come in, that not all expected results are being shown.

If you have

func does_query -> loop transforms

You have 3 possibilities, the problem is on the storage layer, the problem is on the query, the problem is on the loop.
You read the query, because the bug is subtle, it seems ok, so now you move to the loop. It's a bit complex but seems to be correct too. Now you start debugging what's happening.

If you have

func does_query -> func maps_results

You know it's either underlying storage or the query. Since the probability of the storage being broken is less plausible, you know it must be the query. In the end it's a synch problem with something else, and everything is right, but now you only spent time on reproducing the query and being sure that it works as expected.
I find the MacPorts approach to be very developer friendly and I wouldn’t really want to use a “naked” macOS install as my work machine. MacPorts makes it look like a very credible BSD workstation.

Just because of the sheer number of tracks there are in the world it is clear the quality here will vary wildly.

I don't know how the downmix for headphones is created in this case, but if it spatializes the individual objects correctly, this removes the in-head-localization artifact that unprocessed stereo on headphones suffers from naturally, especially for sounds with a center pan. We have just trained ourselves to accept that headphones make sounds appear inside our heads. And I am pretty certain that the author is mistaking the acceptance of this artifact for a "prominent presence" of the vocals in the demo tracks.

Listening to a track that was intended for a stereo loudspeaker pair on headphones always creates a degraded experience if there is no further processing of the audio signal. Judging spatial audio without consideration of these differences leads to weird (wrong?) conclusions.

And why does it matter how expensive a certain pair of headphones is? If I want to know the price tag I can look it up!
It's because the ISS was started during a rare period of cooperation just after the fall of communism but before the rise of Putin. By the time
Russia started regressing into authoritarianism, it was too late for the US to ban Russia from the ISS, especially when the ISS depends on the Russian orbital segment for station keeping and life support.
There are some for Perl in various degrees of emitting bytecode to actually optimizing (perlcc, RPerl). I think others prefer emitting to Java or making their own JITs.
From what I understand, to really get spatial audio from stereo headphones, you need to use a HRTF (head-related transfer function) specific to the person.

There's an open dataset of 50 different HRTFs [1] and a long video to compare them [2]. For me personally, only 2 of those 50 samples actually vaguely sound like audio is ever coming from in front of me. Left, right, and behind mostly works, but for most samples when it should be coming from in front of me it either comes from behind me or from above me.

So it shouldn't be really possible to get good spatial audio without 3d-scanning a persons head or at least making them go through a calibration step where they rate "where is the sound coming from?" . And it definitely shouldn't be possible to get any good results by pre-mixing the audio down to stereo before a user-specific transform is applied.

Solid majority? Senate is 50/50 (not a "majority", only Harris casts the tie breaking vote), and Democrats in the House outnumber Republicans by the slimmest margin in decades. This is hardly a majority.
Biden won only 51.3 percent of the popular vote.

Also, if Manchin will be replaced in West Virginia, it'll be by a Republican in the next election (in 2024).

Biden in 2005: "nixing the filibuster 'upsets the constitutional design' and would 'eviscerate the Senate"

Schumer in 2005: ""We are on the precipice of a crisis. A constitutional crisis. The checks and balances which have been at the core of this republic are about to be evaporated by the nuclear option," Schumer said, referencing an option to eliminate the filibuster, during a 2005 speech. "The checks and balances which say that if you get 51% of the vote, you don’t get your way 100% of the time."

The hypocrisy of the left is profound.
Right, but if you are already trusting the Russians (whom share a lot of intelligence and technology with China)... Why exclude china?

How I Program In C (Eskil Steenberg, 2016)
There's a strong link between the Eastern religious practices and the mystic aspects of Abrahamic religions; think gnosticism and hermeticism, or perhaps kabbalah and sufism (I haven't really studied these but they might be good avenues). Eastern Orthodox Christianity retains much of the mystic traditions, for example hesychasm is comparable to meditation.

> people do not lose confidence in the site owner

I don't agree. I know Microsoft will move or even outright delete important content because chasing shiny new ideas will get somebody promoted. And so I direct people away from Microsoft solutions because that's going to make my life easier.

Any link to Microsoft documentation that doesn't both go via aka.ms and have a significant user community to ensure the aka.ms link stays correct will decay until it's useless.

So by the time you read this https://aka.ms/trustcertpartners may point at a page which is now styled as a wiki or a blog post or a video, but it will get you the list of CAs trusted by Microsoft's products.

However links from that page (e.g. to previous lists) are internal Microsoft links and so, unsurprisingly, they've completely decayed and are already worthless.

For the US Treasury, just like Congress or the Air Force, I don't have some alternative choice, so it doesn't really matter whether I think they're good or bad at this. But Microsoft is, to some extent at least, actually in a competitive business and I can just direct people elsewhere.

I had an idea about making an advertising not-for-profit company... Ads aren't going anywhere so why not using it to save the planet or make people lives better... Drop the tracking, drop the click counts, perhaps targeting local news websites, display ads relevant to content they are reading base off referrer url content is probably a good start, promote somethingnlike #greenads mmovement on twitter, tiktok , get companies to advertise on the platform, more local news site to adopt it, transparency about profit + open about salary for staffs and shove the rest of money into charitable causes...

I'm sure there are plenty of flaws here but perhaps having Ads for good causes will at least make it more pleasant to the eyes than the current state...

Good point. If the actual result you’re after is the 5th, you’d have to _listen_ to 4 bad ones which costs a lot of time and will quickly lead to frustration - a bad UX. The beauty of text is that you can quickly scan. The beauty of voice is that you can provide input faster. You’d need a voice / visual (glasses?) combo to overcome that and combine the best of both worlds.
I (almost) can't believe they didn't name it the Stripe Swipe.

On the other hand, being not in the US, swiping cards to read the actual magnetic stripe is really quaint and not something I do a lot of these days. And it would have been weird to name it for a minor/compatibility feature, I guess.
Microsoft's dpkg packages themselves do some fairly weird/annoying stuff in their maintainer scripts.

e.g., azuredatastudio contains code that manages a /usr/local/bin/code symlink...

... and it contains code that converts a PGP key in armored form to binary form and dumps it in /etc/apt/trusted.gpg.d, even if the sysadmin already took the time to verify the PGP key and put it into their own .asc file in the same directory (ok, I guess at least they aren't force-appending their key to the old/deprecated/monolithic /etc/apt/trusted.gpg file like many others)...

... oh and in doing so they dump out microsoft.gpg to the current directory, whatever that may be... they should at least be using mktemp!

... and they are doing other things that they should be relying on debhelper to do for them, e.g. installing shared-mime-info-spec files manually rather than with dh_installmime; installing desktop-entry-spec files manually rather than relying on the triggers that already handle installation of such files...

As for teams, it has its own oddball way of monkeying with /etc/apt, and one other weirdness: it explicitly changes /usr/share/teams/chrome-sandbox to be setuid. If that file is supposed to be setuid then ship it as such... shipping it non-setuid and then modifing it in a maintainer script sets off alarm bells and breaks dpkg-statoverride...
