Is it possible to create Liserjoos figures with lasers driven by a PC soundcard?
I wonder if anyone can help (asking for a friend LoLz) ? I am looking at this page here: https://braintoblueprinttobuild.wordpress.com/2016/04/17/diy-laser-projector-part-5-building-it/ and wondering if rather than using an arduino to generate the signal if the output from a PC soundcard could be used in a similar way to this: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCECl4aNz5hvuRzW5fgCOHKQ is that possible? My friend is interested in projecting Lisserjoos figures and that sort of thing using lasers. It would be great if it could be driven by a PC soundcard output as he could use the output from VCVrack.

Sorry if I am asking this in the wrong place? If so, sorry, is there another forum or another place that you know of that would be a better place to ask this question?
A "high" from a random RF meter doesn't mean anything. Give me numbers in dBm/MHz.
All it does is measures ping. No direct WiFi measurements just the timing of regular network requests.
Taxes on methane emissions should have done this
I think you are really overestimating what is available to consumers for under $1000 Euro/USD.

This is what is typically available for under $800 Euro for desktops in Europe:

https://www.worten.pt/informatica-e-acessorios/computadores/...

256gb is pretty standard outside of gaming/workstation class desktops all over the world. The M1 is twice the CPU of everything in the sub $800 USD/Euro market. It's not even comparable. Spend $60/year on AppleCare+ and you get warranty well beyond 2 years in Spain/France/etc.

I haven't had a PC component break in less than 4-5 years on custom builds or OTS systems. My Macs have lasted 7-10 years of functional use.

I really don't get any of your arguments in this discussion. It's like you haven't actually use a Raspberry Pi in 3-4 years, and just want to knock Apple or ARM-based computers in general.

Between $100-$700 USD there are multiple cheap ARM-based computers available for any level of consumer use. You can use a reliable but cheap Raspberry Pi 400 if you are budget constrained. You will have to install DRM software, just like we did with DVD player software DRM in the 2000s to make Netflix work if you go that route.

If that doesn't work for the consumer they get a $700 Mac mini and it will have all out-of-the-box functionality a consumer needs, and outperform everything else they could find retail under $1000.

We haven't even talked about Chromebook's because there's dozens of ARM-based Chromebook's that have already overtaken cheap Intel PCs for these markets. This isn't even opinion over what platform is "better", the market has already spoken, and cheap ARM-based PCes as well as powerful ARM-based PCs are the norm.

I have the same experience, but it's more than just syntax. The Matlab IDE pulls together so much in a polished and robust product. Python notebooks and IDEs (Spyder, Jupyter, PyCharm, VSCode among a few others I've tried) are frustrating to use in comparison.
I look on a map of Nevada and it’s just vast, uninhabited space. Are the only sources of Nevada resources in actually lived areas, or is it something a handful of people see in any given year?
Literally millions of people train and practice basketball for decades, from early childhood. How many of them can reliably sink a shot from mid-court? How many without looking? How much longer do you imagine they would all need to train? Even most of the best professional players can't do it. Why would they drive all the way to the basket if they could chuck it in from the other side of the court?
I think hotels these days would just be glad to have some life. Maybe you’ll buy a drink. Maybe you’ll entice others in.
There is no indication yet that this is due to complex web standards. It could be, but we literally dont know what the bug is yet.
People forget: in this story, the Samaritans were enemies and known to be hostile. So how is it virtue signaling, to another group of people to whom you don't want to belong? In this story it was an act of altruism.
While it would be fun to punt a billion dollar spacecraft into the sun just to see the weird spikes on the telemetry data, you can't actually get any realtime data from the probe during close solar approach. Stars emit quite a lot of RF, and the antenna on Parker has to be small enough to fit behind the sunshield. Parker has to survive each perihelion in a functional state in order to downlink readings.

Presumably after the end of the scheduled mission there will an attempt to get funding for an extended mission to take it in closer. My impression is they can't put it on the official schedule if it's not funded, and speculatively funding spacecraft operations decades into the future would take big chunks out of NASA's budget.
Looks like 99.0.4844.84 is the release we want.

I agree that it's a tooling issue, but I don't agree that the gap between managed and self-hosted will ever start to close again. IMO, modern IT tooling is having an industrial revolution moment where economies of scale really start to push out small scale operators. Back in the day every village would have their own blacksmith, but as steel mills scaled up fewer and fewer of them were needed. These days no hobbyist metalworker can ever hope to keep up with the accuracy and speed of professionals running multi-million CNC machines. Similarly, big tech companies will keep developing tools that provide total cost-of-ownership several orders cheaper than what hobbyists achieve, but will need to be operated by entire teams of people. The complexity of Kubernetes is only the start.

No consumer refines their own petroleum or makes their own steel these days, except maybe as a hobby. Similarly I don't think the market share of consumers who host their own email, git servers or payment infrastructure will ever rise again.
Having tried a couple of the SaaS boilerplate options or even better the SaaS-for-SaaS systems mentioned by other commenters, I found there to still be a lot of manual setup and work required. Questions and decisions like the OP's take time and energy away from innovation.

Makes me wonder if someone hasn't yet come up with a cloud based SaaS to streamline that. Something basic, ideally it would handle basic language/eco-system selection, automatic SaaSSaaS boilerplate service select, on-boarding and configuration and customization, ideally transparently federated over several vendors? Maybe a paid tier that uses CoPilot-like-AI and NoCode to come up with your idea and then execute it. SaaS4SaaS4SaaS. SaaSCubed?
I suggest pop_os if you like ubuntu but are tired of stuff like snaps and such, but still like the idea of an LTS
In an ideal world, the onlookers are secretly good souls, working acts of kindness and charity away from the public eye. In practice, they typically have no virtue to signal, and their comments are merely a variation of "sour grapes".
> I don't understand why you'd do pair programming with two new hires!

There's nothing wrong with two new hires pairing. A few things a pair could be doing while the other is writing code:

1. Spike out a refactor of the current viewable block of code that the other pair just wrote or is currently writing. Looking at it as a spike instead of a hard refactor allows a pair partner to experiment and if the spike doesn't result in something better, throw it away; no harm done.

2. Jump ahead and spike out a function that the pair might need soon, but isn't ready to consume yet.

3. Watch for pair getting stuck and help them think. Ask questions like ... are you stuck or just taking a mental break? That's a helpful question because it makes them more comfortable taking mental breaks when they need one without fear that you're judging them.

Keep in mind, pairing is AMAZING when deployed with empathy and less judgement. For those that feel like they are being judged when pairing is likely because you are a bit judgmental when the shoe is on the other foot.

FYI, teams that pair daily, get more done and team members feel less lonely and more like a real team. Go Warriors.
> Marx’s “Capital” is the bullshit kind of economics. If anything, it is the butt joke of economists today.

Compared to what? Not other mid-19th century economic works... Marx published Capital prior to the so-called "Marginal Revolution" that presaged the emergence of Neoclassical economics - i.e. the first era of economic thought generally compatible with modern theory, so it's basically meaningless to claim that his views are derided by economists today.
> They were programmed in lisp the whole way down and could be run code interpreted for convenience or compiled to microcode for efficiency. You could open up system functions in the editor, modify and compile them while the machine was running. Everything worked in a single address space, programs could talk to each other in ways operating systems of today couldn’t dream of.

So this is basically expanding Emacs to actually be the operating system. There's definitely some allure to it. Awhile back, I was hacking on the Lem editor for Common Lisp, using the Lem editor itself. It was great until I made a mistake in some code that restricted my ability to edit the code, sort of like performing brain surgery on my self and snipping a nerve that controlled my arms. It was amazing to have that immediate feedback loop, but in a world that is striving to find new ways to minimize human error, I'm just not sure it'd hold up.
One observation I would make is that many of the people who are crucial to the organisation of social events are themselves socially awkward.

The instigator often is not, but they will be surrounded by people who are, and who need a little thing to do at the event so they can take part at all.

I found ways to be involved at a music festival for more than a decade -- the photography, the website, running general errands etc.

Going to social events as a photographer was an explicit tactic; camera as prop.

Find a way to help other people be social and they will find a way to include you that doesn't make you feel awkward.

Keep at it though -- merely getting to this stage where you're looking for techniques is a very positive step.

Also, a thing I learned from a kid who wrote a book on Aspergers that is basically true: if you need to hold eye contact longer than a brief moment, it takes most people a long time to spot that you're looking at the bridge of their nose, not their eyes.
Also a big Paul Barton fan! He has a nice video playing the 18th Goldberg Variation by JS Bach (my favorite one).

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zka65VYD318

And he is also a great painter and there is an awesome video of him painting a portrait of Josh Wright, who is a concert pianist that has lots of educational videos online.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ovu-u8BTGxI

One thing I love about watching Barton is that he has the hands of a mere mortal. So you can see how he accomplishes various reaches and fingerings if you don't have gargantuan piano hands.
It seems to me that forcing reasonable labor practices on the industry might improve efficiency. For example, if freight companies don’t pay their truckers for loading and unloading time, then they have very limited incentive to reduce loading and unloading time. If this time started costing the industry even an extra $15/hr, that might give a substantial incentive to optimize.
> Given the Pi is a low-cost device, it's not terrible unreasonable to at least compare it to the 20-50 Gflop CPUs of that period.

What specific chips do you have in mind? By that same benchmark, an i3-3210 has 58.9Gflops. So that's still 4x higher, and 8x higher per core.
To make matters worse, university staff software engineering jobs usually pay 1/3 to 1/2 of comparable jobs in industry (even after excluding FAANG-level outlier salaries), and in most cases offer no meaningful career progression.

I think universities will never be able to compete for engineering talent until they can create attractive career paths for people who aren't professors.

Thank you for your comments and wishes! :)
I think manjaro suffers breakage too much. These days I tell people to look into endeavour since they still use (mostly) arch repos and thus cause much less breaking with the using AUR packages if you're into those.
Yes, exactly what I meant, but said more succinctly!
Third note: when accepting passwords, hash and salt them !
I have read your second and third paragraphs and feel very confused. You believe that OSS would be better off with more bribes, more financial scheming, less features, less quality, and in general with more corruption? Because you end up saying that "crypto allows small players to participate in this scheme."

So, no thanks.
Considering things between the US and Russia are somewhat tense already, isn't blowing this sort of smoke just asking for trouble?
That's fine, but my system boots so fast that hibernate is slower. Pop_OS is a very nice distro, particularly the LTS.
Again, nobody would ever share it because such a system would not hold it's original rate of return and risk once shared. Getting a bunch of money from people and getting a low risk and reward return is already doable, just put it in an index fund, the one thing unique about this is high returns AND zero risk and this goes out the window when you share it with your closest 1000 friends (i.e. it becomes public knowledge) and suddenly you find out the investment didn't have a truly infinite source of return to pull out of to keep the rate steady.

This is in addition to such a no risk system not existing in the first place. I.e. both are unreasonable assumptions and both will give you unreasonable results.
Dont think this has todo with web standards, its probably JIT related. Google should just turn that off, majority of 0 days seem to be because of that.
Since, you're asking for personal reports, I may as well chime in.

I've managed to improve my ability to feel at ease when confronted with new people and places. This is something I did on my own, but like others have said, seeking professional expertise may help you achieve your goals more effectively, or may uncover things that need to be addressed in other ways.

It may help to identify which specific parts of social interactions make you uneasy. For me it was feeling like I wouldn't have anything to say in response and that an awkward pause would ensue. I often second-guessed myself and felt like my responses didn't have worth. If your situation is different, the rest may not apply.

The first changes I made were to view my situation as temporary. Instead of framing myself as a permanently awkward conversationalist, I framed my starting point as a challenge to build new skills. While some people learn these intuitively, I had to consciously build them[1]. By framing my challenge as a skill-building journey, I was able to make progress by seeking out specific information in order to build this skill.

There were three techniques I practiced to help me build this skill. Topic vectoring[2], open-ended questions, and question-statement balancing.

Topic vectoring is a simple heuristic for picking an appropriate response. A conversation response can go "up" a level by speaking more generally about the topic, go "down" a level by drilling down to a specific detail about the topic, or move laterally by shifting to an adjacent topic. Conversations progress by incrementally accreting small topic shifts. When too large of a topic shift is introduced, it is hard for the other participant(s) to follow along. This includes shifts that compose multiple directions. When I'm reaching for a response, I use this tool to pick an appropriate one.

You've most certainly heard of open-ended questions before. Practicing open-ended questions was a skill I made a point of developing by monitoring my proportion of responses and adjusting as necessary. Good questions are conversational expanders. They require little from the querent and little from the respondent. They can feel like a good layup when done right.

The same goes for question-statement balancing. Too many statements, and it begins to look like I just want to talk about my interests, and too many questions looks more like an interrogation than a conversation.

All of these skills fit together in a way that make me feel like I know how navigate conversations much better than I did before. Quickly, it's important to describe what they are not. They are not memorizing a bunch of conversation prompts. They are heuristics that can be practiced, employed tactically, and form a cohesive toolkit. I strive for balanced conversations where other people feel heard and engaged, and I can walk away feeling the same way.

Best of luck to you on your journey whichever path it takes. :)

1. There is probably some amount of neuro-atypicalness at play here, but that's not something I've explored too much.

2. The resource explaining this may be lost to the sands of time and it certainly went by another name.
Better call it "Lovable Minimum Product" then.
The "doing that intentionally" bit is something I think you sort of have to roll with; some days are good, some days are bad.

I've all sorts of strategies, but if I have no explicit purpose at some event I struggle with getting out of the house, and I'm just not enough of a dog person to get a dog.

But if you go out on the good days -- which is all really anyone does! -- then people will remember you if you only pop in to some event briefly on your bad days.
I'd definitely recommend checking out Julia for this usecase. You get code that looks pretty much like matlab, but which runs like fortran/C++. (Also there is very solid and fast interop with python, so you can call anything you need from the python side).
>By scientific evidence, in the context of this paper, we refer to the advice of international authorities in infection control (including the World Health Organisation, (European) Centres for Disease Control and Prevention), and the body of peer-reviewed scientific papers.

The paper literally refers to WHO and CDC advice as "scientific evidence".

It's ludicrous. The whole thing is thinly veiled opinion piece.

It boggles my mind how far "science" as a term has been degraded and driven 8 feet under.
Thank you. We can release bindings for new languages very quickly. Just fill out our signup form and we'll prioritize Elixir. https://r.kokocares.org/api_signup/
Same experience here with fiber and telecom services. They quote crazy prices for services I already have from their competitors at the lower published rates.

These potential vendors have zero or near zero additional cost to activate service (eg: the OptiTap is only a few tens of feet from where an ONT would be install), yet the sales reps call me every few months asking when I want to light up service and aren't ready to even talk price or SLA, despite knowing what we pay their competitor.
I'll look into sveltekit. Thank you.

Having taught a number of scientists both pre and post grad, I agree with your take on notebooks/REPLs. Data-scientists are not generalist programmers, in some cases, they are hardly more advanced than some plain end-users of operating systems. They shy away from the terminal, they have fuzzy mental models of how the machine operates.

Being a generalist programmer that sometimes deploys the work that data-scientists craft, I'd really like an environment for this that can compile to a static binary.

Having to compile a whole machine with all the right versions of shared libraries is a terrible experience.
Julia runs 2x the speed of decent C++?!

It feels to me like the entire os security model is broken and leaving security up to applications even well resourced ones like chrome is a fools errand.

The worst part about that story to me is that you are storing your customers passwords in plaintext apparently? Is this common practice?
- disk space (in most cases) is cheap

- they are always up to date and therefore statistically more likely to have security holes fixed

- that are (to an extent) sandboxed by default and give you a lot of control over that.

- for developers it's much easier than maintaining hundreds of fixes for different distro peculiarities. Therefore (for the user) they are able to spend more time on the app itself rather than compatibility
it'll be possible to do something like that in the future where docker-slim will generate a spec that describes what your system and app package managers need to install. Using the standard package managers will be tricky for partial package installs though because it's pretty common that the app doesn't need the whole package. Even now docker-slim gives you a list of files your app needs, but the info is too low level to be usable by the standard package management tools.
Abysmally long means 1 year plus to get an appointment. And you are usually only eligible for a limited course of treatment...if you are fortunate enough to get treatment, most people don't get treatment at all because there aren't the resources (you will get referred to a nurse within your GP, who will have done a few days training on basic advice). If you have anxiety or even something like autism, it can be impossible to get a diagnosis (and btw, this isn't just mental health...I have a physical illness, I have been waiting roughly two years for treatment and I expect I will be waiting at least another year or two...this is something that impacts my quality of life daily, not fatal but annoying enough).

If you are imminently suicidal, you can be hospitalised but there is little to no support outside of that. Bluntly, there are a lot imminently suicidal people and limited resources. If you attempt to commit suicide and are unsuccessful, that wouldn't speed up the process.

Also, it is worth saying the rate of suicide in Scotland is very high. I live in a small place in Scotland with essentially no poverty, and there are still 10 or so suicides every year. I know someone who works as a psychologist within the NHS in Dundee (probably one of the worst cities globally for suicide/deaths of despair), and it is totally out of control. There isn't sufficient funding, and there is no way to acquire sufficient funding...it isn't possible (and btw, it isn't just suicide...heavy drug use in Scotland has been an issue for many decades).
Reminds me of this other comment I made on an old thread discussing this point in a way which hopefully others can relate to at-least a bit.
