I was kind of disappointed to be honest. I was expecting either weirder ideas, or at least defenses of past policies deemed atrocities today, like "the Holodomor was justified", or we should do more research into performance enhancing implants or drugs.

Here's something that might actually be heretical: Jesus died for nothing, He wasn't intended as some sort of sacrifice, we killed Him before He could complete His work. Now we're damned forever, with no hope of salvation from a justifiably merciless God. If you really want to see some shit that will likely ruin your day, boot up Wargame: Red Dragon and read General chat. There's some truly awful and weird takes in there, last I played.

Instead we mostly got mainstream 2022 conservatism. I mean there's a nugget of good idea in there, I just really wish it was expressed better before tribal chants kicked in.
The almost exclusive reason I never bought a DSLR is because nobody ever saw the reason to add a GPS chip to encode exif data into the pictures being taken. Sure, you could sometimes buy another device and plug it into your already large device you have to lug around to get that metadata. I just never wanted to deal with all that for something so fundamental to digital photography in my mind. I could however see the trade-off of the larger form factor for the lenses. I was not going to lug around and keep plugging in a GPS module though.

To me, going back 20+ years now I have been convinced that the metadata is as important as the images themselves. I just got tired of looking into it every few years, getting disappointed, and trying to remember to go look again next year. Seemed like phone cameras could deliver more of that baseline for digital images should be underneath the lenses. When I look back on my images I don't want to guess where they were taken or hope that the timestamps were right. Using a DSLR was too risky to me. Too much information about an image was lost like the most critical bits of coordinates and accurate timestamps.
My use case for the camera are wildlife (reach), low-light (phones can’t beat a moderately priced f1.8 lens), and macro (haven’t tried an iPhone 13 Pro yet).
Sorry, I don't know how to help with your inner confusion. But I think I can help with the messaging, if you do decide to leave.

I think a healthy professional workplace will understand that we're all human beings with different desires and needs. And there are ways to communicate your personal feelings without making things awkward for the two of you.

For example, what I hear from your post is that you're thinking about where to build the rest of your life and you think your current location isn't right for you. I think that's a perfectly fine reason to give to a superior -- personal, but professional.

If he digs in, you can give details based on how comfortable you are with him. Again, there are general reasons you can give -- wanting to live in a city, for example -- that are honest and personal without being awkward.
When you consider that the opposite to individualism is authoritarianism, there has been a cultural failure in society.
It's an interesting thesis, but I'm unsure that I agree:

The consequences are non existent for almost everyone. How many people have issues with strong causal link to indoor NO2 pollution in houses with vented gas appliances? Leaving that aside, lots of costs are socialized so why are we randomly picking out this one? Why not start banning specific recipes and ingredients if we are so concerned about socialized health costs? No more fried chicken for anyone! To me these bans and taxes are just political cohorts with power retaining their private benefit without restraint while restricting others who think and live differently.
This is FANTASTIC! Thank you so much for sharing these links. Kids loved this, as we had just learned about similar volcanic eruptions through a recent Nat Geo magazine.

Unlike is some other countries where I've lived, where fibre is basically sold as whatever the line will carry (5,8 GB for instance), here providers still work under the assumption 1 Gbit is the fastest they'll ever have to provide (for a significant sum) and have a highly segmented lineup with speeds sometimes down to less then 50mbit, just to make people pay exorbitantly more (we have the most expensive internet in all of Europe). Three parties control the entire market and it is making them good money.

Starlink could be a way out of this market, but alas is not yet (well, they're actually price competitive, if you exclude the cost of Dishy and the power consumption).
Seeing runaway inflation, runaway housing prices, runaway crime...uh, I don't think any party has any idea what they're doing. Why do words on a website matter if reality shows it's not true?
Wow I did not appreciate that modern interconnect signals are no longer strictly 0/1 digital. Apparently the new 400 Gb ethernet standard also uses PAM4. Is there some underlying shift in process technology that is pushing things in this direction?

If it's modulating as you describe, it's completely imperceptible, unlike any of the other ones I've had to live with in SF bay area apartments.

But I must admit I have not disassembled the thing to understand its workings.

I don't even bother with heavy copper-clad pots and pans anymore, which were necessary before. This thing behaves like a gas stove.

So it's the heating element thermal inertia that differs, to smooth out the temperature?

Edit:

Looking at [0], what you're describing seems to be known as an "infinite switch".

That's not what the old stoves like mine has, this is just a rotary switch with 5 selectable presets. I assume it's changing the resistance.

Worth noting is also the even older Kalgoorlie [1] style stove, which changed the number of heating elements connected to regulate temperature.

This repair guide [2] describes both infinite and rotary switch controls on a high-level:

When the heating element is on, the heater inside the switch is on. The bimetal heats
(along with the element) until the contacts open. Then the bimetal cools (along with
the elements) until the contacts close again.

There are also fixed-temperature switches that vary the voltage going to the heating
elements to maintain fixed, pre-set temperatures. These are usually push-button or
rotary switches with fixed settings such as warm, low, medium and high.

In fixed-temperature switch controls, heat levels are varied by applying different
voltages (110V or 220V) to different coils of different resistances.

I've been wanting the browsers to support SRV dns records for quite some time now. Unfortunately, both firefox and chrome have bugs in the WONTFIX status. The reasons for these statuses given are poor imo, but the implementation could add an extremely interesting dynamic to the internet. It would be easy to set up vps around the world and let SRV records set up in a round robin manner control it.
Will it be as good as a bgp controlled one? Unlikely, but it would be 100% in your control and easy to set up, unlike going cloudflare.

The λ-Cube
The 2.8 MHz limitation comes from shipping raw RF samples off the device over USB 2. When operating as a DVB-T receiver the device decodes the signals before sending them over USB so it uses less bandwidth.

The device was originally intended only as a dtv receiver and not a general purpose software defined radio. The hobbyist/ hacker community discovered the hidden debug mode that allows raw data acquisition and wrote drivers for it.

EU should follow.
Controversial and heretical are not interchangeable. I agree. But perhaps this is merely my bubble. My view of this is that kneeling was decried but that it wasn’t controversial to be against kneeling and that at some point it switched and being against kneeling is now the impermissible violation of norms.

And my view wasn’t that the lab leak thing was suppressed at all since I heard people talk about the idea frequently. It was just dismissed outright.

However, I do agree with you that simple controversy does not imply heresy. Though I do believe that anything truly heretical will result in widespread condemnation. And because of the rapidity of meme replication in humans, it will have parties that adopt it rapidly if it has some value, and will appear as controversy.

I am only working on one wide screen size, I will take a look on how this looks on different screens

You have all the data on the left and the preview on the right, basically you can edit anything on the left side and it should be reflected on the preview size (you might need to refresh the preview on some changes).

- The cross-hairs in some elements will help you to navigate to the preview elements.

- You can click on the elements on the preview to go to the code, values, frame or page on the left side.

- You can add pages, products, categories and collections of products

- The pages are a little opinionated, those are composed by a list of elements, those elements can be a section, paragraph or raw code. (you can drag and drop the sections)

The editor and the preview are separated React apps.

Don't forget Apple. Building a computer or a phone company today is basically impossible. We're heading towards a state of extreme monopolies. There is no way to vertically integrate like Apple without having access to crazy amount of resources and time. If there is competition, Apple's cash reserves will come to rescue and crush any competition.

I love Apple products but this is all so worrying.

There's still the whole aspect of developing and printing film, which itself can be an artform and very much change the end result. See for example how much the analog dodging and burning were used to change the tonality of an image, drawing attention to some aspects and reducing others. These final results are typically what we think of when we see classic film photography.

I haven't read the book yet but I was perusing the code and two big things struck me. It's possible I missed something, so please correct me if I'm errant.

1. There is no Phoenix UI. The Phoenix app has no views and only one endpoint, and API for recording "weather conditions". That said there is a Grafana dashboard that seems like it would be great, so I don't think you really need a Phoenix UI.

2. There are no tests, so if you (like me) were hoping to also see how testing is done in Nerves (and even Phoenix though this isn't a book to teach you Phoenix) you will be a bit disappointed.

An exciting title though, and as soon as the components are back in stock I'm excited to build it.

The two GOES satellites use the ABI (advanced baseline imager) to image a large portion of the total planet at a spatial resolution of around 1km. The GOES ABI design is influential on the broader world of weather satellites and many weather satellites operated by other countries (e.g. Japan's Himawari) use derived or similar imagers. GOES and Himawari are the premier weather imaging satellites of the US-allied world, collectively the two systems image a very large percentage of the total planet surface except extreme latitudes. Data from GOES and Himawari are fused to produce the global satellite images provided by e.g. NWS.

The US Stormwatch image does seem to be cropped from Himawari. The size here may be deceptive, the spatial resolution is not as high as it looks because this cloud is so large.

Although the GOES ABI (and related Himawari AHI) are static designs that image the full planet from a fixed position (i.e. there is no aiming or steering as is sometimes the case in other remote sensing satellites), they do deal with practical limitations related to readout and downlink capacity. As a result they typically produce a full-disk image every 5 minutes but both are capable of producing more frequent images of selected regions (areas of interest) on command. This capability is mostly used for maintenance purposes (e.g. registration calibration) rather than for weather observations.

Incidentally NOAA is preparing to launch a new GOES satellite, GOES-T which will become GOES-18, in somewhat over a month. It is the same basic generation as GOES-16 and GOES-17 currently in primary use, including the same basic ABI, but has a minor "bugfix" to the ABI design that will avoid a problem GOES-16 and GOES-17 have that requires them to go into a reduced readout rate mode some of the time for thermal management reasons.

My basic meteorology knowledge is somewhat limited but I believe what appear to be waves are cirrus clouds. This is somewhat confirmed by their significantly increased prominence along the shockwave front, as large shockwaves in the atmosphere cause some additional formation of condensation clouds due to the increased pressure, and these tend to be cirrus up at high altitude (the condensation immediately freezes into small crystals).

You might enjoy looking into nix and nixos. It’s designed to make that workflow as bulletproof as possible. One of my coworkers maintains a github repo that describes his exact system, and can create a sandbox that behaves the exact same as the one he’s used to with one command (on any machine that has nix installed).
Actually, mirorless cameras CAN generate a depth map from their phase detection sensors.

They also can take multiple frames and stack them automatically, either for higher resolution or lower noise.

But the thing is, there's no reason you would want 100 raw frames in 100ms (which no phone can do, that's 168Gbps of bandwidth, the sensor interface can only do around 8-12 Gbps), instead of a single 20ms exposure from a large, high resolution sensor.

A 35mm sensor will, in that 30ms exposure, accumulate around 20 times as much light in the best conditions for the phone (normal focal length) taking 100 pictures in 100ms. If you're using the wide angle or the "telephoto" lens, now the big sensor is now accumulating anywhere from 40 to 200 times more light.

The big sensor can have three times the resolution or more, and actually make full use of that resolution. At that quality, no amount of image stacking can improve the resolution unless you have a 2000$ lens and a tripod to use sensor shift mode - which a mirorless camera can also do.

In the end, even if your algorithms are perfect, you will always have a much lower resolution and much higher noise on the phone, no matter how much image stacking you do. At that point, you improve by using AI to replace the imperfections with plausible looking generated replacements. You can also do that well on a computer, but in most cases this only makes it worse, because there aren't the imperfections to begin with.

If you decide to remove frames without motion blur and imperfect faces, now you go from 100 pictures to stack to maybe 10. At that point, the critical parts of your picture will only have 8ms or so of actual exposure vs 20ms on the MILC. But the 20ms exposure also has 50-300x more light in it, so now your phone camera is way behind.

So it ends up being better to just crank up the shutter speed to 1/200 and get a 5ms full sensor exposure, as the critical parts of your picture will have more light, less noise, and more detail than the stacked version you take on your phone.

Arguably, lowering the barrier to adoption has caused entrepreneurs who might not have otherwise cared about "that software thing" to find every possible nook and cranny to put in increasingly hostile monetization schemes to applications that wouldn't have had them otherwise. It's gotten to the point that people have figured out how to make others pay for JPEGs. That might just be a thing to laugh off if the same breed of technology didn't have the potential to saturate the Earth's entire energy capacity.

In terms of the greater concept of technology adoption, mandated facial recognition and apps for accessing crucial government/financial services only started making sense once smartphones had become useful enough to the average person from being an objectively better way of consuming information, such that nearly everyone decided to purchase and use one. That was because so many engineers and other people had eyes on the technology given its objective utility, and they all contributed to its uprising.

Despite this, I highly doubt that the elitist technological separation that suckless proposes would ever come to pass in the real world. We're simply too smart to not find better ways of manipulating burnt sand on our own, whether or not they exist to serve some powerful entity's ulterior motive.
