This is really good advice - for externalizers. For internalizers however, it is perfectly terrible. Before deciding to go all in on advice like this, it's crucial to know where you fall along that spectrum[1].

Externalizers tend to place the locus of control outside of themselves which symbolically castrates them to fantasize about the objet petit a[2]. When it negatively impacts your life, you become the friend who likes to complain about everything but does nothing. Or worse, you're a person against the world who owes no one and impotently rages against everything.

Internalizers do the opposite. They will place immense burdens upon themselves to unrealistically adapt and change when most people would confront the challenge directly. An example is the Missing Stair[3] metaphor. An internalizer works around everything, always pushing the problem inward and never forcing the world to change. Internalizers can be harder to identify as they silently suffer in an absence of self-kindness.

What the article glosses over is knowing yourself[4] well enough to understand which tendencies you have. Maybe you tend to be an externalizer with your career and an internalizer with social relations or vice-versa or some other mixture entirely. It can be hard to be honest with yourself and ask, "Is this truly working for me?" But, those questions are hard precisely because they are the first step towards personal growth.

If you live on a main road, there's likely a lot of pollution in the air. How much is actually in your home will depend on a lot of complicated things (prevailing winds, home construction, etc), so it's best and easiest to just measure.

I got a Dylos before I learned about AirGradient, and I really like it too. Depending on your budget and tech savviness, it's a great option too.

One important note: these detectors don't do chemistry, and not everything that causes a spike of PM is actually a problem. Showering, for example, will cause a spike for hours, but those salts are probably fine. Running the oven will also cause a spike, and those particles probably aren't fine.

There’s an architecture to avoid this by decoupling the simulation tickrate from the renderer.

The really simple way is to just pass a delta milliseconds to each system so it can simulate the right amount of time.

> This is a solid state amplifier with a tube preamp stage

No it isn't, if you check the schematics in the article you'll see that the tubes aren't biased properly and are mostly disconnected. They can't amplify audio. It's not even a starved plate design (which wouldn't need the 6.3V filament voltage).

The circuit is clever enough to stop amplifying as soon as one of the tubes is disconnected, so they're a glorified switch. Which IMO is worse than if the tubes were there only for asthetic purposes.

Why painful?
Oh, completely.

There's a whole host of problems strongly linked to American car-dependent development for which the solutions already exist and have been in use for some time elsewhere. Air quality, street congestion, traffic fatalities, obesity, high cost-of-living, poor accessibility for the disabled, children growing up with little independence or hobbies outside the home, housing shortage, and the general unhappiness of people who have no choice but to drive everywhere to do anything in a congested suburban town.

The obstacles are not technological and have not been for some time. It's fully a social and political problem.

Ask HN: Any Good Make Alternatives?
I'm starting a new greenfield personal project which is a great time to try something new. Are there any new Make alternatives that I should try for building a multi-language, monorepo project that also has a number of Linux system dependencies?

For some context the languages will definitely be Python and Julia, with possibly Rust, C/C++, and CUDA. I'll likely be using poetry or conda for managing Python and there are also a good number of system dependencies that will need to be installed on a Linux box.
This. Crucially, the actual interviewers/hiring committee may not have even read the job posting. They have the technical expertise and know what they are looking for; the HR/recruiters filtering at the front end are considerably less clueful. You do need to get past that filter, but after that, the bullet list is all but irrelevant.

I had a friend in sound production tell me that he had the experience of ramping up sliders to show an effect to a client and watching their faces brighten at the improvement. Then, he noticed something was misconfigured and the sliders were doing nothing.

That said, there are people who can hear the difference between 320kbps mp3s and uncompressed, because they can sense the faint temporal errors that can make a sound a touch before the sound they should follow.

It's very elegant depending on your goals.

It's the ultimate DRM for games, you can't crack a game's copy protection if you can't see it's binaries. You can't data-mine the locations of valuables if you don't have the map data. You can't leak unreleased assets ahead of their marketing debut if you don't have a copy of the assets. You can't expose all the Easter eggs by decompiling if you don't have the code. With subscription and premium currency models those abilities can all be interpreted as lost revenue.

The markets for people buying $400 consoles vs buying a $20 HDMI stick and a $15/mo subscription are very different. After the colossal (and to me, surprising) rise of mobile gaming I think the latter might be where the real money will be 10 years from now.

They'll address the bottlenecks on the data center end. I'm pretty sure you can list a dozen problems that make it prohibitively expensive right now and for every one of them some Microsoft or NVIDIA engineer can tell you how they are working on engineering away that problem in a couple years.

I have Community fibre 1GB. I got it soon after it became available in my area. So it's not available to everyone. You can find a map and postcode checker here: https://fairinternetreport.com/Community-Fibre

> my experience with London's local wifi was trash

Community fibre, in my case, is residential wired internet. The wire is an optic fibre, it's in the name. Yes they supply a router for a Wifi AP and some ethernet ports but fundamentally, they supply the wires, the WiFi is not their domain.

IDK if they supply internet to small businesses such as "Coffee shops and hotels" but quite often the nature of the business means that configuring it well isn't a high priority.

I wasn't around long enough for many to get to the point where they could be granted. I think I only granted around 3 or so. And those ones were unlikely to cause anyone trouble.

I've heard a second-hand story of one examiner who granted a patent that was later strongly criticized. They specifically requested more time from their supervisor to work on it, but their supervisor denied the request. Since they didn't have any valid reason to reject the application, they allowed it. The examiner suspected that it wasn't valid, but they really didn't have a choice as they have to meet a quota and "docket management" requirements. So it's not a matter of an examiner using their own discretion. The examiner knew it was likely a problem but they couldn't find any evidence which was legally enforceable.

Why do patent examiners sometimes grant invalid patents? For the same reason software developers sometimes release buggy software: Management doesn't give them enough time or resources to do a quality job.

I like that the web server in Go's standard library comes as a library, so you can embed a web server into your application, even if it otherwise isn't web-related at all, just to allow for some introspection and/or control.

(To be fair, I think Python and Ruby have HTTP servers in their standard libraries as well, at least minimalist ones.)

You expect that repeating the experiment with Hydrogen will produce a value of G that is smaller or greater than the value of G obtained with lead?

Neutrons don't act at distance with the electric force, because they don't have electric charge.

They act at distance with the gravitational force, because they have mass.

For example, you can fill a glass with heavy water that has Deuterium instead of Hydrogen. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heavy_water

The number of molecules is almost equal, because the "size" of the molecule does not depend on the number of neutrons (almost). But the mass and the weigh will increase like a 10% because now there are more neutrons in the glass. The neutrons are acting at distance with the Earth, so the weight measure with an usual balance is greater.

The regulation of ai begins
We are not building it in house right now - we are focusing on OLTP. But have plenty ideas of how to do it in the future. In the first iteration we are thinking about an integration with Singlestore, Snowflake, and BigQuery. Singlestore will be best due to low latency updates, but the other two are very popular so integration with Snowflake and Big Query just makes sense.

In the future we can integrate a columnstore right into the engine to make a smooth on system experience. There are some awesome open source implementations: arrow and duckdb. Updatability is tricky but doable as proven by Singlestore and SQL Server (I'm ex SQL Server and a huge fan of this feature). Not this year.

This depends a lot on your setup. In perfect room with 5 digit sound equipment and encoded with a bad encoder? Sure.

Good encoder on something like phone speakers, especially with examples not specifically crafted to show weaknesses? Never.

Of course there is a lot of in-between, but for most people and setups, mp3 is not the limitation.

This article is a dishonest portrayal of the issue. Pushback against ESG is primarily motivated by D&I initiatives and indoctrination seminars which explicitly and overtly require discrimination against straight white males. But the topic is such a sacred cow that I'm not sure if the author has actually thought critically about the issue, not that an honest portrayal would have even made it past editors.

When headlines report record low faith in media, this is why. Opposition to woke politics is almost never given an accurate and fair analysis.
That title is misleading. This article is actually titled "Study confirms superior sound of Stradivari is due to how wood was treated".

Wouldn’t it be better if Sony received the market value themselves, and invested the money in the PS6?

Of course. The best outcome would have been for them to start with something like a cosmetically different "founders edition" that's more expensive and then to release the normal version when supply becomes available. But they decided not do to that, probably because the same people screaming about scalpers would vilify them for "price gouging" (which for nonessential products is a silly concept).

Wouldn’t it be better if we were not encouraging people who add negative value to the system to create artificial scarcity

The scarcity isn't artificial. There are more people who want to buy a PS5 at MSRP than there are PS5s. Scalpers are only adding to scarcity if they're sitting on inventory they're not selling, which there's no incentive for them to do.

The problem with your argument is that for markets to be free, customers need both choice and access to information

What choice or information do customers lack? If you want a PS5 your choices are to pay market price to a scalper, or spend a lot of time watching stores or running bots and trying to get lucky. This is all widely known.

Are you trying to suggest the situation is somehow optimal?

Obviously the optimal situation is for the shortage to be eliminated. The next best is for Sony to charge the market-clearing price. With both of those off the table, then probably the current situation is the best available. Do you have a better solution?
No, this is Fibre to the Premises, IE actual fibre all the way to your house.
This doesn't help with understanding, but I think it's true:

Our intuitions about physical reality come from evolving as primates on Earth. We're pretty great at intuitively understanding the world at that scale.

But at vastly different scales of size and time, those intuitions just don't apply much. So quantum physics events on nano -meter and -second scale seems completely bizarre, as do cosmological event on giga -lightyear and -year scale.

Googling leads me to believe the tubes are used as a buffer stage, which isn't that wild in audio circles, tons of guitar and microphone preamps do this to sweeten the sound or whatever someone wants to call it. I hate fake products, but this one doesn't set off my fraud alarm.

And my apologies if other reviews and discussion are wrong about how the tubes are being used in this amplifier, they could be just repeating incorrect facts they hope are right as well.
