[Late additional comment] Do you marry usually outdoor? I've seen that in movies, but 99% of the people here marry in a buildings. A not rainy day is nice, but not as important.
Amusingly I think he'd understand your request at least...
You didn't have to give your fingerprints when you got a driver's license?
Maybe you make a little RPi-like device that is designed to connect and host this thing as a module that attaches nicely to the enclosure. You could build out the whole idea as you have it and come back to this for people like me. Meanwhile, I might just carry around a RPi for this purpose, as long as they can share power easily.

I hope I'm not being too discouraging. I really like this idea, which is why I'm pushing you on it a bit. I would love to help, but yea, fund-less hobbies are tough to get large scale support for. I wish I had more to offer.

In France, they use "milliard" for billions.
I've been wanting to build a Raspberry Pi controlled Nixie clock - but instead of a Atomic Clock, I'm going just use a USB GPS dongle. Also set it up as a NTP server for machines on my home network.
There is something to be said about shipping around the energy source for quick refuel.

If there is anything to these new electrolytes and shipping them around to "gas" stations, I think they could end up replacing charging stations for sure.
If you're with a group of people who are trying to decide where to go to dinner, but no one's putting out suggestions or willing to make any hard calls:

Suggest you all go to McDonald's.

There's nothing that gets people to immediately shoot down an idea and suggest something else quite like the prospect of a Big Mac.
$37 @1, but not in stock at digikey, and an 11 week lead time.

It's pretty tiny... I wonder if/when it will be possible to put a high quality co2 sensor in an IP68 iPhone...
If there's a context where power density is way more important than efficiency, then hydrogen starts looking pretty good. As batteries get better, the number of those shrinks, however.
It's important to distinguish between the different flavors of containerization - Docker, and container orchestration - K8S. Docker is intriguing as a nice lightweight way of separating your processes - and is (mostly?) interesting to developers. K8S changed the entire trajectory of application management at scale.

We have about 4300 containers in production where I work (at this moment - it can change from hour to hour), and I don't believe "isolated environments that need different versions of libraries" was ever a driver, or even strong incentive for using containers.

Rather - the ability to rapidly add resources, resize resources, re-allocate storage performance dynamically, and use whichever cloud provider made sense (we've worked with AWS, Google Cloud, and now Azure) - and be able to migrate your environments between them in a period of a week - was what made containerization attractive.

Being able to type:

kubectl scale deploy worker-background --replicas=300

And have 300 worker pods come online in < 60 seconds really changes the power of an individual. Being able to have that done all dynamically (up and down) without any human intervention - that's a game changer in some of the ETL heavy workloads.

If you've ever worked at a large company - think of the effort required to get 300 new 6 CPU/32 GB VMs allocated to a project you are working on. Now consider a company where pretty much all of the engineering / ops employees can do that from the bash prompt.

I'm just looking forward to the day where we can scale the performance of our storage from 500 IOPS/sec to 8K IOPS/sec dynamically as required (still requires a manual step with Azure - albeit a pretty straightforward one in their portal).
Thanks!

That's correct: Pedalboard just adds effects to audio, but doesn't have any notion of layers (or multiple tracks, etc). It uses the Numpy/Librosa/pysoundfile convention of representing audio as floating-point Numpy arrays.

Mixing two tracks together could be done pretty easily by loading the audio into memory (e.g.: with soundfile.read), adding the signals together (`track_a * 0.5 + track_b * 0.5`), then writing the result back out again.

Adding silence or changing the relative timings of the tracks is a bit more complex, but not by much: the hardest part might be figuring out how long your output file needs to be, then figuring out the offsets to use in each buffer (i.e.: `output[start:end] += gain * track_a[:end - start]`).

I don't have time to read all of these articles but the first three I spot checked before I stopped said nothing about ivermectin so this is the most intellectually dishonest and argumentally malicious post I've read in a long time congratulations. I don't know what psychotic forum you pulled this copy paste off of but if you expect others to believe what you post perhaps you should at least try to do the most basic of investigations and just see if any of these articles actually mentioned the word ivermectin at all. I am angry I've spent as much time reading these articles as I already have.
There is! Check out http://research.atspotify.com/.
That's an interesting idea that you should be able to build on top of Pedalboard -- i.e., implement a CLI that accepts input and output file paths (and optionally support piped data, as in your example) and expose the VST plugin names and their options i.e.

$ cat sound.wav | pedalboard --compressor --compressor-threshold-db=-50 --gain --gain-db=30 | aplay
I am retired. Didn't actually have much choice in the matter. No one wants to work with us "olds."
There is also the notion of languages you love writing code in vs languages you like reading code in. Languages with more powerful abstraction abilities bring joy to the writer but make things tedious for the reader.
With this data it seems like you'd be more concerned with the relative value and its change over time anyhow rather than the true value.
I hope the future doesn't rest on the sci-fi futurist pipe dreams of these deeply mediocre billionaires. Mars colonies, stupid tunnels, consumer flights to almost-space, and now a cure for aging. Overpopulation in the short term and ecological destruction in the long term (despeciation, water supply, desertification) renders many of these non-solutions to non-problems moot.

Which means that CoVID-19 has had about 10 times the impact as seasonal flu. That's extremely serious.

It's to keep positive pressure in your unit for safety purposes. If there is a fire the fresh air will help keep smoke out of your unit and as a bonus it keeps other building odors out. Generally it is a large fan on the roof that just sucks air down a stack pumping it into every unit. You could put a filter over the register and filter that air.
Why are you averse to turning off you computer?

I understand saving state but I never let my workflow depend on program execution state. Power on, log in, do work, sip coffee, browse net, finish work, shutdown computer. I like to keep things simple.
It's extremely unlikely you're going to get COVID from your bank trip. Many, many healthcare workers treated COVID patients every day for nine months unvaccinated and didn't get COVID. You are vaccinated, it's only half an hour, and it's unlikely that anyone in the bank has COVID.

IMO wearing better masks is a great thing, and so is minimizing indoor time with strangers, but it's also possible to overdo COVID protection.

Most of the spread of COVID is among unvaccinated people doing things indoors and unmasked. Unfortunately, you being even more careful will not affect their behavior.

Are you using BTC as a currency? What was the last thing you bought using BTC directly?

Does it meet the 10 characteristics here?https://simplicable.com/new/money

I think that few are using BTC as a currency because it doesn't make sense as a currency, rather 99.9% of people are using it as a speculative investment asset.

My family use XMPP daily for messaging and calling each other, and I know many others who do the same. That's not to say my perspective is average, or that the federated XMPP network is anywhere near as popular as WhatsApp, Slack or Signal. Network effects and money are powerful forces, significantly more so when combined.

Luckily for specific groups (families, organizations, etc.) who just want more control over their intra-group communications, it's typically far easier to overcome the network effect issue than solve it for the general case.
Realistically new windows and doors probably wont drop the homes air changes per hour below the recommended minimums, but I don't know for sure. I've gotten my crawlspace spray foamed and I'm getting my vented attic spray foamed to bring it into my envelope. Also getting new windows and doors soon, but after all of that I think enough air could leak through sill and top plates, electrical outlets, etc.

Having the foam crew do a blower door test for free if we go with them, so I guess I'll see. I live in climate zone 5a (cool, humid) so historically natural ventilation was used via induced pressure differentials generated by mechanical means (dryer, furnace, bathroom and kitchen vents). When we get new furnace and water heater that pull combustion air from outside, we're left with mostly manual means for generating negative pressure that drives infiltration. (But also wind, and pressure differentials caused by temperatures in winter)

In our case, we're definitely considering either an HRV or ERV to supply fresh outdoor air that we control (input and output CFM, MERV #). Our indoor air quality is poor enough to the point where we live with the tangible symptoms (Rhinitis), not just numbers on a sensor.

For those with interest in these topics, I suggest skimming a copy of one of the ASHRAE fundamentals handbooks[1]. It reads as a textbook but has incredible depth into the physical sciences that relate to building science, heating, cooling, and ventilation.

I love this point, and I have to go on a tangent on this:

> This is a lot like software developers and their persistence. When your production service has a mysterious error in the logs, do you shrug and say “well, probably some transient network bug, it won’t matter” or do you dig in to understand what’s going on? Both approaches are reasonable, and it takes a balance of pragmatism and curiosity to be effective.

I find that it really depends on how harried I am. Am I (or someone on my team) able to dedicate time to this issue, or do we have other higher priority concerns?

Every single time I can think of where we've had a "that's weird", it was a bug in the software. But it would take days to weeks for someone find the root cause (these were 1 in 100,000 race conditions), and we just can't afford to dedicate that amount of time to each.

So we have to pick our battles.
The Trap of Wishcycling
I've been toying with Zig over the summer, and I'm really impressed by the build system, general ergonomics and the explicitness of the language.

The only thing I've found being a pain point is C's biggest pain point: the lack of a proper string type. Even though I've worked for years in the past with C and C++, I still get tripped up, and in Zig I keep on being confused whether I should use raw byte arrays, or sentinel-terminated arrays for certain string manipulations. Maybe I'm not familiar with common idioms in Zig that might help avoid this C-style tracking of string/buffer lengths malarkey that I tend to end up with where a slice is not appropriate.

Maybe a dynamic-length string library is the way forward.

I've always tried as much as possible to treat strings as just opaque data and never look into them, which tends to work well, but in some domains you really need to look at and massage the characters/codepoints/grapheme clusters, and the lack of a first-citizen UTF-8-aware string type is, I think, a bit unfortunate in this day and age. I understand having one of those could make C interop a bit gnarlier (I think Odin's approach of having two separate string types -- one of which is just meant to be used for interop -- should be workable).

Oh, and the ecosystem of libraries is still young. I needed to format timestamps as human readable date/time to a file, and had to step down to C to do something that basic[1], but it'll get there in time, I'm sure.

[1]: "basic" from the perspective of the end-user of the language. Having written a (not even fully featured) date/time library in C++, I consider date and time to be one of the hardest domains I've ever had to work in.
> I never felt like I've accomplished that. I also don't know what I would work on if I did have the means to chase some deep work without worrying about money.

One rarely considered need is for an innovative new social network to clean up (and maybe even kill off, like StackOverflow did to ExpertsExchange) the others that have made such a mess of things.
Yeah they all offer it but at least in my state it's an additional cost which means a lot of people will choose the cheaper easier option. Also that deadline has been changed many many times and I bet it will again in/before 2023 if adoption rates don't increase a lot.

I just recently refreshed my ID and got a RealID pretty easily at least. The trickiest piece was making sure I had all my documents, had to print out a cable bill because all my bills are paperless now and mortgage papers (one of the few I've kept paper bills on for) didn't count on their list.
Perhaps he can somehow join forces with archive.org? Maybe they take over when/if he is no longer able to do it?
I'm having trouble finding mighty on ddg, got a link?
why would I pay for builds when its free to use my cpu? any company worth somthing is going to give you a decent machine. if you don't have a decent machine you wouldn't have the $$ to pay for remote builds. I could see a use case for very large projects.
Not exactly inexpensive. These are "low cost" in that they don't cost $20,000 like the sensors used by government agencies, but they aren't what I as a consumer think low cost means.
Just ask in French.

Then they'll most likely bring you to the only employee that's not a contractor.
I'm hearing reports (unsubstantiated, but reports) that Chivo is built on "a partition" of lightning and that it will be difficult for people who want to get their money out.

I don't know enough about lightning to dispute it, but it would seem these reports about Opennode and McDonalds are in conflict with those reports. Do you have any local color or stories to add? I'm interested in what they actually are technically doing, I didn't know that Lightning could be "partitioned" but my Technical Spanish is rusty.

Are there any controls that would prevent folks from using Chivo to spend their $30 literally anywhere they wanted, in as much as there is a Bitcoin receiving address for them? (If I opened it up to "all lightning-capable nodes" would that change the story? I understand little in spite of knowing lots about Bitcoin and friends, something something, needs to be a route/path from one node to another?)
Indeed. Money is a bit of a lie in its own right.

Me, I go for functionality. The catch there is, if I've acquired plenty of functionality for something I consider desirable but then I don't DO that thing, does it still exist?
On a related note, I guess Tumblr is still around to use as a blog ?
Thing is you can't really deep-clean it... it's not particularly dirty, I keep the bottom free of crumbs etc., but when oil droplets from food collect against the back surface and polymerize there, what can you do...?

You can't exactly throw the toaster oven in the sink and scrub the inside surfaces with steel wool and Barkeeper's Friend under running water like you can with pots and pans. Nor do toaster ovens have a "self-cleaning" cycle where you try to just vaporize it all... they simply don't get hot enough.
Then allow to set a pre tax pre promotion limit?

Besides, AWS already complicates things way too much by handling VAT like other billable items instead of just adding it at the final step like any sane company would
for you to say that, you missed my point quite far.

"regulated as a security" itself can mean 100 different things, and its not a nuanced enough take to know if a product can be offered at all, to whom it can be offered to, what disclosures are necessary if any, and more
It seems like you are basically agreeing with me while pretending to disagree. Of course we could eradicate the virus with a magically high vaccination rate using a magically effective vaccine. But that's not possible in our current reality.

By insinuating that we can eradicate the virus using current technology and current infrastructure, it causes vaccine-hesitant people to see their choice as a type of prisoner dilemma. When in reality, their choice is more like "do I want to get initial immunity via the vaccine, or do I want to (eventually) get it via the virus.
The gas stove thing was surprising, but of course it makes a ton of sense!
Literally tunnel vision.

To explain overscoped to a non shooter…

You’re lined up on a target at 30x. Fighting your breathing, heart beat, movement from the rest / bipod / barricade. It’s never going to be perfectly steady, and that 30x magnification is showing every bit of sway and deviation of the target and your reticle.

On 10x, a guy can come in, line it up, and not see all of that deviation. He sees the target, the aiming point (which is rarely your exact cross hairs, a different topic) and just focus on a good trigger pull. The target is a lot smaller to him, but that’s ok because it’s not a complicated shot, just a small target.

There is also getting lined up for your next shot, the recoil on 30x means your field of view has jumped and left the target somewhere out in the ether. If you have multiple shots to make, the guy on 10x will be able to see his next, or at least track where he is now and needs to be next.
Perhaps it's the US states like CA that have basically shown that they can't support H2 fuel supply lines.

Take a look at the current status of stations in CA [1]. Mostly offline, and who knows for how long. A symptom of the entire fuel-cell economy.

LWN usually has great content but they've missed out on so much free ham software in this article that I use regularly.

My main HF rig is an older Yaesu FT-950. I tapped the IF and brought it out of the chassis where it is plugged into a cheap RTLSDR. I then access that RTLSDR (with free drivers) with GQRX (free software for visualizing anything compatible with SoapySDR or GNU radio), and the result is that I get a panadapter that is arguably better than what's available on $2000 radios.

As New Zealand and China have shown, it is within our power to avert almost all deaths from CoVID-19. They have gotten through the pandemic with orders of magnitude fewer deaths per capita and far greater everyday freedoms than most of the world. Quarantine for international travelers is one of the tools they have used.

"People die" as an excuse for letting millions of people die of preventable causes is a terrible attitude to take.
You completely misunderstand the part you quote. What Plomin is saying is not that genetic heritability accounts for only 2-3% of the variance, but rather the GPSs, that is, the polygenic scores.

What that means is that we can now point to concrete genes that contribute to intelligence, and assign them weights that tell us the significance of this contribution. This means that this 2-3% figure is not about reality of genetic contribution to intelligence on the ground, but rather about our explicit understanding thereof in 2014, when this article was originally published.

Since then, our polygenic scores have significantly improved: for example, Lee et al in 2018 constructed polygenic scores that describe 11-13% of variance, a significant improvement over 2-3% result Plomin cites. There are probably even better results now, as the progress in the area is quick.

Of course, 11-13% is still short of 80%+ that we already know is determined by genes, but our explicit understanding is slowly getting there. Importantly, as we get there, the goalposts of critics are constantly shifting: when we couldn’t point out to specific genes, the entire notion of heritability was attacked. Now that we can, the alleged problems are with spurious correlations resulting from population stratification etc. Alas, the science moves forward, despite fierce opposition.

https://www.nature.com/articles/s41588-018-0147-3

> The denialism here lies with those who wish to believe that intelligence is largely genetically determined, rather than socially and environmentally determined.

I think your inability to distinguish between heritability and polygenic scores makes you thoroughly unqualified to make statements like that.
You misread what I said. The person would have bought it instead of having to rent it from your friend
Again if backwards compatibility were respected then packaging and deployment wouldn't be so complicated.
This is super cool. I studied comets for a while when I was in academia, and my favorite was one called Humason [0]. There are other great photos of it, some in google images, though the ones I had in the research lab in a a few books about comets were even more surprising. It had a very odd tail appearance because the comet tail is primarily created by an interaction with the solar wind / magnetic field, and at distances far from the Sun, that field is much weaker, so the tail becomes less straight, and this effect is even more pronounced when the comet is very large, as smaller comets just don't have an easy to detect visible tail from such great distances from Earth.

Humason is less than half the size of this comet and is considered abnormally large.

I don't agree with that. For example, I think it brings me joy as a reader that I can tell at a glance from a function signature which arguments are modified and which ones are just read. Without the abstraction of mutable and immutable references I would have to read the entire source code of the function and every function it calls to know for sure what it does with the pointers. It also brings me joy as a reader that common functionality like equality comparisons or string formatting can be derived by the compiler, instead of having separate hand-made implementations for each data structure, which might have subtle differences.
