I’ve read about a proposed treatment of listening to notched white noise. The theory is that, by listening to white noise with a notch filter at the frequency that matches your tinnitus frequency, your ears or brain will become less sensitive to your tinnitus frequency. There are websites with reference tones to help find your tinnitus frequency and YouTube videos of white noise notched at different frequencies (supposedly, I haven’t verified).

I have tinnitus and listen to white, brown, and pink noise throughout the day. I tried notched white noise for a couple months, but didn’t notice any change compared to regular white noise. My favorite noise these days is “space ship engine noise” videos on YouTube. I get to pretend I’m working on the Enterprise. :)

There are surface mount practice kits, where you get a little board and a bunch of dud parts to practice on. It's not all that hard, but it takes practice. It takes a while to get skill with tweezers under a microscope. Cheap USB microscopes are very useful. Figure on ruining a few of those cheap practice kits.

It's not rocket science, but to do consistently good assembly you need the right tools and some reasonable hand tool skills.

That adds more perspective, thanks.

Nevertheless, it still doesn't change my impression. I read it like "(you) don't have to worry about security". The other interpretation "we didn't worry about security" seemed too unlikely.

It doesn't inspire confidence if they want me to be in a relaxed position. I'd expect them to raise concerns about security and take the initiative to show how secure their system is...

It's telling that Watsup did never "catch up" on performance reliability, and pushability. They started top notch on those, and if anything, moved down a bit with time.

That's because you simply can't catch up on those. It's not something that happens inside the constraints of software development. That's why Facebook didn't.

"Catching up" is even a very weird way to say it. That wording implies Watsup was a huge entrenched company with a lot of resources spent on development, and Facebook was a nimble team that was working hard to add enough development effort to be an equal.

> So while computers and cars are cheaper, health care and college expenses are much higher.

Technology, transportation, and food are cheaper.

Unfortunately major essentials such as housing, health care, and education are drastically more expensive.

Outside of cartels and rent-seekers, I can't imagine people saying "you know, we really need to make housing, health care, and education unaffordable for more people."

It's particularly disappointing that technology doesn't seem to have reduced the cost of health care or education - the cartels seem to have won by restricting supply and exploiting indirect payment systems.
Here’s something better I’ve found to improve on it: you can get a $30 massage gun from Amazon with one of those round soft heads, gently put it to the back of your head where doing the manual exercise above hits with your fingers and run it at the slowest setting. It’s exactly the same thing, and it’s very effective for shutting off tinnitus. I do this when mine gets bad.

I’ve also noticed my tinnitus is inversely proportional to the last night’s sleep quality for me, so the article bears out on an anecdotal standpoint.
Remember when you could just buy a battery off the shelf, pop out the old battery, and pop in the new one? Without waiting for service or finding a brand store that's at best hours away? And without having to worry about whether the manufacturer has deemed your phone too legacy to allow you to replace the battery anymore?
The internet is valuable even though most of the traffic goes to a few sites. But that has nothing to do with decentralization. No one ever promoted the internet as useful because no site would ever be super popular.

The value Bitcoin provides is that it allows you to bypass government controls and other monopolies on transferring money. If you put that Bitcoin on an exchange you no longer have that ability to bypass government controls because Coinbase will lock your account if the government tells them to do so.

Kind of.

But I also use Fastmail. And Fastmail is shockingly, mindboggling good.

And I basically have the tools I need to work from home in perpetuity. While I have lots of things to critique about Slack or Google Docs, I don't have to spend an hour or more a day in traffic anymore, so that's cool. Also Video chat actually works now, which is crazy if you think about it.

I just bought an album from an obscure artist off Bandcamp. It was seamless. And it comes in FLAC if that's your jam.

Speaking of which I've been meaning to run to a neighborhood bakery today and it took 3 seconds to confirm they're still open.

Social media has run its course and it's awful. But social media is not and never has been the web, despite their power grabs.

For the record, $5 is about the top for what I pay for similar batteries on Fleabay. Here's a bunch for $3.50 for my phone, in quantities of 3: https://www.ebay.com/itm/202981911712

OEM will cost a little bit more to manufacture -- some of the Fleabay ones are a little bit sketchy -- but not a lot more.

Tear-down sites give similar costs: https://imageio.forbes.com/blogs-images/chuckjones/files/201...

That's my experience from industry as well (not Apple), but that's NDAed.

I think $5 is a fair estimate. I would be shocked if Apple paid more than $10 for the battery. Not surprised, but shocked. That points to a fair retail price in the $10-$30 range, depending on markup, distribution costs, etc.
I quickly improved my PRs and sped up code reviewing by doing following when I create PRs

All that stuff is easy. Point of education isn’t to give you reading material you can self learn in a few months.

After all, you’d expect best performers in this field to all be from liberal arts colleges like Middlebury. And the folks there are great but it’s not like they’re superpowered compared to the Vanderbilt guys. So it isn’t some sort of game changer.
It's not hiring difficulties, people have limited time and energy to specialise - you can't simply try harder and hire someone who is the best front end and the best backend developer at the same time. Sure, you can still have clean separation of concerns and send rendered page to the user instead having the user run the UI on their device and fetch data as needed but that's just extra work and higher data transfers(in fact, it's a common practice to send the initial page as a full HTML for SEO purposes). If that's your thing, sure go ahead.

But you are keeping dismissing the interoperability part. Since you are now sending fully rendered browser specific output you loose your chance to use the same backend for different type of clients, such as mobile apps or other tools that can work with your system. You instantly need to create client specific output for each and every client type. If you want to do it, go ahead.

Certainly things can be achieved in worse ways at higher costs, maybe some people have reasons to want that? I wouldn't know why though. An art form? A protest? A way to inflate the budget to bill more work for each type of client?
I have a 5yo and play a wide range of games with her. She has various "learning games" from Orchard Toys. She has some junior versions of various mainstream games (e.g. Scrabble, Dobble) and junior versions of more gamer type games (e.g. Ticket to Ride: First Journey, Catan Junior, Concept Kids). She's got some (ok, a lot) of Pokémon cards, including the Battle Academy sets which give 3 roughly balanced decks for about £20, which give a decent introduction to the game. She can also play various other gamer type games - Zooloreto, full size Ticket to Ride, Thunderbirds co-op game, Kingdomino, etc.

Also have a 3yo who is awesome at Dragonimo and likes joining in with things like Uno.

I'm pretty sure the key thing is to teach kids that games are supposed to be fun and that there are a lot of options. There are games on my shelves which I don't plan to introduce them to for a while yet, but mostly because they are a bit too dry (hard to get kids interested in some themes) or require a bit too much in the way of reading without your opponent helping, but I'm sure they'll get introduced eventually!
It can be, but there's also a good amount of risk and opportunity cost that comes with that.

Maybe the thing you get especially good at turns out to be useless or low-paying (for a profession) or of limited fun, social potential, or replay value (for a game).

I would much rather become a generalist and learn a bunch of things, and then do some limited, "shallow specialization" when the need and opportunity arises. But I think you're still more likely on average to be successful/happy with a more generalist/breadth approach.

IMHO those jobs are exceedingly rare, because all the roles with difficult algorithmic problems seem to have the grind around them as the majority of work that needs to be done. You mention data science, well, if you're doing serious data analytics two thirds or more of your time is converting data from one form to another and handling its flow; if you're doing cutting edge AI research, most of your time is devoted to 'plumbing' required to run these experiments, and only a minority to the algorithms you're researching. The same is pretty much everywhere, so if you find a job where that does not apply, that's quite exceptional.
Yes. Click on the linked site and scroll down to the third row.
Not when that labour is only required because of Apple's (and other manufacturers', but Apple was the first and worst to do this) malicious design in the first place.
I was the same way, and share the nightmare with kids. Personally i’ve spent a lifetime learning how to say No to things I don’t want to do (very hard) and finding the things that work for me.

It’s far from perfect, and it has sometimes come at the cost of heavy mistakes before I figured out why something wasn’t working.

It does give me the ability to explain and help my kids try and find what works for them, and I have been materially successful enough to afford them options sometimes.

Which is huge. I’ve been very lucky. I’ve also faced many hard truths that others have refused to, and worked my ass off too, to get there.

I still do need to work my ass off every day.

One consolation perhaps - I have several friends who were similar that I grew up with whose parents didn’t stop short at beatings.

They succeeded very well in a specific environment afterwards (military), but at the cost of non-trivial mental health issues that are hard to properly describe. A inability to say No to an authority figure being one of them, perhaps, even when it leads to catastrophe. And a severe difficulty in trusting themselves to be independent thinkers.

They’ve objectively done well for themselves by societies standards, as have I. But each of us has our own regrets.

Such is life I guess?
> Politics? Economics? Writing?

A good shot, but I don't think good enough. All of those still involve humans changing each other's thoughts by communicating with each other.

A computer program replaces human thought. Depending on the application this may be good or bad, but the point is that once the program is in place, humans don't need to think or talk about it anymore.

I mean, they do, but they won't. After all, there's so much other stuff to think about, talk about, and then replace with software.
Not just US. I had issues today in South Africa as well. At a couple of retailers, and I heard from friends about the same!

> People want large displays

That's not clear. "Larger display" is easy and obvious from a marketing standpoint. But it's not clear that buyers are benefiting from them.

I can, in fact, point to the Galaxy Tab S8 as an example. My wife wanted AMOLED for the display, but that forces the 12.4" display (or bigger) which my wife didn't really want.

Manufacturers like Samsung and Apple are delivering what is convenient for the manufacturers--what the consumer actually wants is a second level consideration.
Unfortunately, in the 90s I was profoundly more interested in what kind of pop music was acceptable to enjoy. Teenagers are dumb.
Eh, we use ViewComponents inhouse at work too, and they're great, but they're really just a better way of approaching partials instead of the normal "grab the Controller's ivars" free-for-all -- they don't move the needle any on the MPA front, and they change nothing w.r.t turbolinks (or any client side JS), since they're purely a server-side rendering time thing.
I sometimes have to develop and test for Windows, and running latest 10-11 dev evaluation version from Microsoft in a virtual machine is nothing but pain (in terms of performance and usability, since I use FreeBSD/macOS/Linux for last ~15 years and anything after XP is a huge pain to me).

Will definitely try this one and see if it will work for my purposes!
I just started with my kids on the recommendation in a book.

In it they describe bridge as a game where people learn to put their attention toward other people instead of being toward self.

He claimed that most of our psychological problems are caused by a self centered attitude as we are made to live and interact in a group setting not alone.

We turned off Netflix and gaming and started to play bridge and play tunes together. So far, good changes.

This was around the era where Snapchat was starting to take off, and I think someone real forward-thinking should have seen the writing on the wall that young people don't want to be doing all of their social interactions in public any more, nor do they want their cringey past coming back to haunt them. They were on Facebook, and then their moms all joined Facebook. They migrated to Instagram, and then Facebook bought it and pushed all the moms there too. Snapchat though, has a couple unique aspects that I think were critical to its success.

First, all the interactions are built around curating who sees it, and keeping things private and temporary. The most public thing you can do is post a story, and that's where you send stuff that even if your mom adds you, you can keep that in mind while sharing to that. But for anything else, you build up a list of people who can see your private story, and send it to that one. And everything that goes to either of those places is gone after 24 hours, which was also not exactly a selling point for the older generation that want to use social media as a scrapbook.

The other thing is that Snapchat is quite unintuitive and confusing to use. I've seen this stated as a criticism, and sure you can make it that, but I think that's also part of the secret sauce that made it so successful. The way you use the app is like its own separate language compared to all social media platforms of the past. And that in itself is enough to keep older people off of it, who had enough trouble trying to figure out Facebook. Plus I think there's some fun and engagement to be had when someone says "hey did you know you can do this?" and you discover a new feature in the app. I've been of the theory that Snapchat keeps itself awkward to use on purpose, because it seems legitimately beneficial to keeping its user base.
