Small company here with a data team consisting of 1.5 full time employees. I just found out about DataStation from this post, immediately installed it and I'm loving it. Great work and concepts :)
Most of the linear amps these days are integrated devices that need a few supporting components and you feed a line level audio signal. Though you can still get decently sized BJT's and you can build your own amps.
Thank you for sharing this, and for actually walking through the problems you're hitting, your process for unravelling them, the decisions you're taking, and the outcome.

I see in your response a joy of being totally in an area that's unfamiliar and new, and full of new boundaries and rules to find.

(I'm a Designer—UX—by trade, and have been recently been working on some problems that require software engineering / systems architecture, which I have zero formal training in … and I'm having the time of my life.)

Questions:
— What are the resources you found most valuable along the way?
— What thing that you learned got you the most excited?

Also … hope you didn't burn out any Pi's, given how hard they are to come by at the moment …
With alternative sources of revenue, maybe there could be less nagging during the yearly donation drive?
It’s always like this with the latest AI. You would think people would learn, but nope same exaggerated claims every time.
To the OP, using chrome when I pause the rotation, then just arrow down through the projections viewing them one at a time, going from mercator to miller causes a weird X shape. https://ibb.co/sWrgtZC
Article seems bogus. Stringing together a few "studies," etc.
Possibly, but we introduced the policy simply because too many candidates were using up our time with interviews where they appeared to be knowledgeable etc. but then quickly demonstrated with the take-home test that weren't going to be a good fit for us. I'll be honest, there weren't really enough data points to take any grand conclusions from the experience, and this was all pre-covid etc. I'm moving to a new role soon and I'm expecting to get back into being more actively engaged in screening new hire candidates etc., so I'm sure I'll learn more as I go - some of the points raised in this forum have definitely given me pause for thought.
I find DCS to be the best of the bunch, and MSFS too gimmicky to my taste.

For those who want to simply have fun flying (in something of a combat setting) there is also Far Cry 5 or 6 - two beautiful games I can’t recommend enough.
The bomb-hunters that the author tags along with are, so far, unexploded. Both meanings work nicely in this context.

HDMI - Hacking Displays Made Interesting

Picture this scene, which happens thousands of times every day all around the world: Someone walks into a meeting room, sees a video cable and plugs it into their laptop. The other end of the cable is out of sight – it just disappears through a hole in the table. What is it connected to? Presumably the video projector bolted to the ceiling, but can it be trusted to just display their PowerPoint presentation?...

This presentation discusses the security of video drivers which interpret and process data supplied to them by external displays, projectors and KVM switches. It covers all the main video standards, including VGA, DVI, HDMI and DisplayPort. It also details the construction of a hardware-based EDID fuzzer using an Arduino Microcontroller and a discussion of some of its findings."
In average maybe, not in records. Highest temperatures are vary quite a lot since we measure temperatures in history.
Not quite.

I had a similar discussion with a lawyer friend on the basis of copyright on artwork generated by ML models and what constitutes "artistic feedback" from the human. The tl:dr; of that story is that it depends on jurisdiction that you are probing/looking at. In UK you have copyright, in US you do not.

I suppose that something similar is at play here.
$10/month is a perfect price - that was my exact estimate of what I was willing to pay for this service when it becomes non-free.

To everyone expecting Copilot to magically write the code they are thinking about - you are missing the point. There is a learning curve of using this service that allows you to be more efficient in expressing your ideas. It's not about doing all the work for you. It's like auto-complete on the next level.

Licensing concerns - oh come on.. what is the big deal? There are millions of "for (int i ..)" loops out there. Like anyone gives a damn about 5 auto-generate lines being _probably_ copied from somewhere. Moreover, if you used Copilot just a bit you would know that is not how it works.
This is exactly why I don't like using MS tools. Relentless use of dark patterns and user-hostile behavior.

I don't want my code editor to try to up-sell me, ever.
I haven't ridden Amtrak in years but folks I've talked to who have hated it. Trains here aren't at all comparable to the service that's available in Europe. Stations aren't conveniently located and schedules are spotty and make weird stops.

Amtrak is a federal monopoly, created to take the failing passenger railroads off the hands of the freight carriers. It has succeeded in doing little more than that.

I say this as a person who loves trains, especially French ones. But, as a pragmatist, I admit that our interstate road system and omnipresent airlines (crossing states which are themselves larger than European countries) make a lot of train travel less desirable in America than it is overseas.
I'm the CTO for a small(ish) software consultancy. $10/month is a no-brainer price for just the "amazing all-rounder autocomplete". Spending $10/month/dev to help maximize highly billable engineers? It's well worth the price.
How am I supposed to know if my poop is fully flushed? I'm just supposed to repeatedly open and close the lid to flush my toilet?
It also ensures that Google follows the license requirements of Wikimedia data as as it becomes a contractual issue rather than a license issue with each contributor.

It seems for example that Google has recently resolved some long standing issues with attribution in various products(YouTube Music comes to mind).

I mean CGI still lives on just moved up the stack a bit with WSGI and Rack.
How do you know MTBF for recent (new) products? If they get a waiver, why wouldn't manufacturers make every product model-year-specific to avoid such a requirement?
See, my mother was right to insist on closing the loo seat before flushing.

I'm in that "0%", for what it's worth.

I want the leisure time my kids and I spend on X-Plane to count towards my/their overall ability to fly a small plane someday (a lifelong dream), but (a) I don't have room for flight gear -- there's barely space for my tiny home office desk, and (b) I can't even justify spending $100 right now for a flight yoke amid other financial obligations (it was a splurge to spend $60 for X-Plane 11).

Honestly, I probably would have bought Microsoft's 2020 FS instead if it ran on macOS.
> If someone else is living with you, then it's always good to try and avoid sharing germs

I feel like this is a ridiculous enough question that I don't expect a source-though if you do have one or know how this sort of thing would be studied I'd love to hear it--but is that always true? I certainly try to reduce my exposure when someone's noticeably sick, but I wouldn't be surprised if some degree of exposure turned out to be beneficial. I also wouldn't be surprised if it turned out to be harmful. I would be least surprised to find out that doing this simply doesn't make a measurable difference in most home environments.

You could combine with an HDFury device such as https://www.hdfury.com/product/dr-hdmi/ to fix that. Of course the HDFury device would have to be before the HDMI Firewall (closer to the source), so you have to trust the HDFury not to be hackable on its own.

As for a physically present attacker, many projector systems are out of reach and have a cable running through the wall or table to produce a socket for users to plug in to. Or they are mounted inside a cabinet with a similar cable reaching to the outside. If the "firewall" device is present at the (inaccessible) projector, this would not be a problem.
Please give me more options like this in North America. I'd love something like this as the urban run-around to do quick errands that can't be done on foot or via transit. Something under $20K with enough range for a day of driving around. Even better, make it a shared vehicle and I'll just pay a membership to grab one from a lot around the corner for a few hours.
> we could have something a little more self-explanatory than triangle = bleach, circle = dry clean. The iron symbol is perfectly clear, for instance.

I think you (and others) are focusing on the wrong thing here. Are you likely to bleach your black t-shirts? Are you likely to dry clean them?

No, certainly not, these are special, rather uncommon processes that are unlikely to be part of one's daily washing routing, and therefore it doesn't really matter if they're not immediately obvious.

The washing and ironing temperature, as well as the hand wash symbol, are the ones that actually matter and they're also quite obvious. The tumble dry symbols are maybe less obvious and common enough today, they probably seemed like they were one of the less common processes back in the 70's in France (where tumble driers are only just beginning to be common today). I'm pretty sure you should ignore the "no tumble dry" symbols most of the time anyway if your tumble drier is more recent than the 70's. That's what I do.

So if you just ignore the symbols you don't understand, in most cases and for most people, everything will be fine and you will simply know what maximum temperature to wash your clothes.
Also, the neovim simply stopped working, without any notice what so ever. Wasn't until I checked HN I figured out why it suddenly stopped working.
That's great but when you get to my age you need vaccination as the immune system starts to weaken the older you get.
That's .... not what will happen.

Instead you'll get the exact same regular violent flush, and then water will pour into the tank extending the time that water can aerosolsize, and worse, pushing any existing aerosols farther out into the room.

So basically that's the opposite of what you should do, if that's your goal.

Instead, reduce the flush time.

Try it: hold down the flush lever and time how long it takes before you can smell the water.

>In this allegory, the wolves are here, they've been here

You assert this, then you proceed to describe the events of more than 75 years ago. Where exactly, in the countries you're allowed to hold pride parades today, are the nazis who want you in camps and prisons ? and how is obnoxiosly parading in the streets while wearing half-naked customs preventing those nazis from achieving what they want ?

If you mean by the nazis the countries that still imprison and persecute lgbt people today, how is holding pride parades outside their borders putting pressure on them ? if anything, it's even more justification for their actions ("See what these people do when they win ? Do not let them win at all costs").

Do you have any reason to believe that holding pride parades significantly, and positvely, affect the state of lgbt people anywhere ?

>There's a volley of legislative attacks on people like me at this very moment right here in the US

Is this another deadend conversation about how parents not wanting their children to hear about your sex life an attack on you ? Because it's not, and if you're going to argue otherwise then let us please end the conversation right here. Because I'm tired of explaining to lgbt folks that lack of visibility won't kill them, and that people have the choice not to accept your identity let alone to teach it to their children.

You're only owed 1 thing : Tolerance. The only obligation society has toward you when it comes to your identity is to not kill, imprison or otherwise materially harm you because of it, provided it doesn't involve breaking any laws. Society is not obligated to praise your identity. Society is not obligated to teach your identity to children. Society is not obligated to force people to let you in their life or into their businesses or into their children's public school curricula.

If you can't agree to that, then you don't respect people's choices and therefore yours don't deserve to be respected as well.
Neat to see. I think the future of these cars will be alot like ARM chips.

One company, probably foxconn, will build reference designs and individual companies will license those designs and tweak them, mostly on the interior and have foxconn either manufacture the entire thing or build the chassis/battery pack and let another company build the body/interior.

That way you can skip the Rnd Process and just require a factory to build/assemble these in the country they are required. Assembling a car isn't easy but its far easier than designing them from scratch and its something that many countries and companies already have plenty of experience with.
> I think a better question is "why would you want to?", and for EU based developers I don't really see the point.

With the previous administration starting to crackdown on fraudulent H1Bs it's also much easier for Europeans engineers to come to the US (or just get an O-1 and bypass the H1 system).

It makes the UK less attractive (often it's seen, like Canada, as a backup plan).
I've been using Copilot for almost 10 months, useful when learning new code but after a while become a bit more advanced auto complete.

I think it is good for short lines, repeating tasks; for example when writing tests and want to assert different fields, assert string, int, etc; for these sort of lines was really good and fast.

my main problems:
1. sometimes make a horrible mistake, takes couple of minutes to understand
2. repeat the same mistake over and over
3. adding a single tab take a bit of time, had to copy & paste tab to avoid copilot suggestion!
Thank you for the kind analysis! I see you understand the product very well from the start! Yes, it's built with the knowledge of past projects you mentioned above and is deisgned to be very easily "escaped from". I know that "escaped from" might sound like you're trapped, but the experience is not that. Avo works with you to build the app you want.

Looking forward to see what you're going to build, and get in touch with me on Discord or Twitter.

It does get absorbed by the body if it's by itself. The key is that, whether it's in your food or a supplement, your body will not take in more than it needs. So unless you're deficient in a particular vitamin, any extra won't get absorbed, and you'll just pee it out. So supplements are good for people with specific vitamin deficiencies, to make up for that lack, but for anyone without a deficiency, they just give you expensive urine.
Doesn't this apply to any organization? If you care about the goals of an organization you are going to be promoted because of your value to that task nor would you seem it. Those that don't are going to care more about the organizations structure and focus on improving their standing.
As a graduate student on a very small salary? absolutely.

The calculus is $10 for a pizza or something for myself, or copilot.

Given that copilot has saved me too many hours to count, i.e. the 1 thing that truly matters, then it's a no-brainer.
I used github copilot for a week, got some good laughs, then never used it again. Working at a publicly traded healthcare company, it worries me that my IDE has the technical ability to snoop on my code. More than anything else, github copilot is a cool parlor trick, in its current form. Surely it'll improve over time.
not when the alternative is "hey disgruntled employee, i'll pay you 25k for these files" is the low hanging fruit
Oh, I see. Still seems like more labor required to verify and audit warranty status. Seems simpler to enforce an excise tax on the manufacturer/importer.
UK to become 'true superpower' with first rocket launch

>Plastic gears that break can be intentional, good design for better repairability.

If it was a planned safety features then spare gears could be included or easy to find and buy for cheap(a device I bought had a safety fuse and it comed with 3 extra ones , also it was designed to be simple to replace it, no screws or "genius" needed. On the other hand a laptop of mine got destroyed by a high power voltage, but not destroyed at once, made me spent some more money on repairs until it finally died, all because some cheap safety feature was not included (even if hard to replace))
And why would they not know anything else? Is everyone on their network using tor?

I didn't blame porn alone, but I said I wouldn't discount it's contribution to the issue as GP did. I agree it's a complex issue.
But that's the crux of engineering: these two things are in tension – the part which is designed to fail safely if a jam occurs will, by its very nature, also be subject to wearing down sooner than if it were made of cast iron and caused the entire mixer to fail catastrophically during a jam.

In reality, nothing is so simple as waving your hands and declaring "no plastic 'planned obsolescence' parts!". Everything is a trade-off. A more effective way of pushing companies to position the trade-off in a way that rewards long-term durability would probably be to mandate longer warranty periods, rather than try to dictate what gears ought to be made out of in a vacuum divorced from the tradeoffs involved.
What of droplet spread to exposed surfaces in the bathroom like... a toothbrush drying on the rack beside the sink?

Granted, the way to reduce that possibility is to keep the toothbrush in a cabinet.
I think the big benefit for Google and Co here is SLA and support, Wikimedia gives contributors and partners access for free...

A win for Wikimedia beyond diversified funding is also that Google and other corporations gets an contractual obligation to follow Wikimedia licensing.

Um... they sort if did do something wrong and have taken drastic measures to try to correct it. But like any other content moderation system, what they did wasn't perfect, and they're still under fire for the wrong things they are continuing to do.

This is only low-hanging fruit if the company/engineer in question makes HDMI firmware.
Yes brother! I remember the days when I was building "an internal admin for the agency". Something to have for all apps and customers.

We'd build it for customer 1, and then for customer 2 we'd add some features and change some. Same for customer 3, 4, 5, 6, 7. After a few years we ended up with 10 different apps that should be the same. No documentation, sometimes the developer that worked on the app is no longer with the company, a real mess.

This way, it would be like using Rails. Documentation, release, maintenance, the whole shebang!

Thanks for sharing!
We have just moved up the complexity curve.

It's the same with doctors, lawyers, everything.

I find this statement hard to believe: "76% of those people that in 2021 purchased a new device and indicated to have noticed the index." It just doesn't jive with the real world understanding most people have of their technology devices.

I think this law is a net positive, but I can't tell from this document if it really made a measurable impact in year 1.
Sort of an implicit assumption when publishing a literary work is that the readers can actually read.
its so crazy to me how many times i've heard people praise the TrackIR, and I have one as well that really improved ETS2, but the latest version is advertised as a Windows Vista compatible product on Amazon.

It works in all the later versions of Windows, but my point is how OLD it is. Has nobody figured out a way to improve on it yet? All the gopro headband hacks, monitor bezels shrinking over the years, wireless tech including bluetooth LE... one would think that there would be room in this world for a TrackIR 6.

The VR craze is past the peak thankfully, but man that would've been the opportune moment to sell a product that doesn't have all the weaknesses of early Oculus and Sony VR headsets.
That doesn't argue for going further in serving Google.
