If you look at measured frequency response of any audio equipment then you never see a truly flat response. At least I haven’t. And the phase shift of often far from flat.

So if you have two systems that have near flat responses it’s possible that one sounds better for certain inputs.

Also Bose plot (frequency and phase plot) is a type of analysis that assumes the system is linear. If the system is not linear, what is the plot showing you? I imagine many systems are very close to linear, but at the edges of dynamic range they can’t be.
How is expiration a solved problem? You won't be able to verify commits after the cert expired without additional information because you don't know that the commit timestamp is valid. For code signing you there are timestamping services to solve this but this means that you are now dependent on a central authority which could just host verified hashes without all the crypto mess.

Your parent is not arguing against peer reviews, but against blind and double blind reviews.

They are actually proposing that peer reviews are credited:

> Instead, authored and credited reviews might lead to more responsible reviews, or reviewers respectfully declining when they might not know the topic.

And yes, I do think reviewers should be credited. Because it's work, for one, that needed to be done so the paper could be published, and because it would probably indeed incentivize reviewers to do the work correctly.

However, it could incentivize them to reject more papers, in fear of accepting a bad paper and be publicly advertised as a reviewer who reviewed and accepted it.

The intervention was a messy affair, but can hardly be called an invasion. Czechoslovak legion got to Russia to fight on its side and when Bolsheviks took over, mostly just tried to return home. The goals of other countries interventions in this chaos were diverse, but again, mostly not directed against Russia, some e.g. tried to prevent Germany from taking more Russian territory.

> You want your work to stand by itself. Otherwise you're blasting open a very corrupt door where appeals to authority, petty politics, careerism, and funding play a role in how a paper is approved.

This door is already open, and impossible to close [1]. For any reviewer closely familiar with the area the paper is in it is trivial to guess which group the paper came out of 9 times out of 10. Style, approach, citations, and just knowing what the other people in your area are working on all contribute. To achieve any sort of blindness you have to go to reviewers who don't know that area as well... which, I suppose, does decrease the potential for corruption--at the cost of the reviewers not understanding the paper as well.

> Isn't the whole point of a paper to present a topic in a clear and understandable way, so that your peers are able to cut through the bullshit?

Even a well written paper often requires some effort to understand, due to conceptual novelties, mathematical complexities, etc.

Unfortunately there's little incentive for reviewers to put in much mental effort. Some of them will. Many won't.

> When you pick a journal you pick the subset of your peers to review your work. If your peers point out problems then why not listen to them?

Because the "problems" are often bullshit. You're assuming the reviewers are acting in good faith and finding legitimate problems with the paper, but they're often not--usually not out of malice, just laziness. There's no incentive to put any effort into a review above the minimum to convince the editor that your review is plausible. This doesn't take much since the editor is probably only going to glance briefly at the reviews. If you can finish your review in an hour instead of a day you can spend the rest of the day writing your own papers or doing other work that actually furthers your career.

> If everything could be separated by inches, we could have a network with 1000x the throughput. 1000x the throughput means we can use all the existing (expensive) rails, and be able to transport everything the interstate road network does today.

The problem: most rail runs above ground, with level road crossings. Running trains at the same spatial density as cars would massively impact wildlife, and you'd need to rebuild all the road crossings as well. Additionally, you'd need to reconstruct a lot of bridges and other infrastructure as it was never built to handle that amount of load and traffic.

Another limiting factor is that switches need time to operate, you don't want to end up with the tip of the train going straight and the rear part of the train going off. That requires a further minimum distance between trains.
I think there's a pretty large middle ground between what I'd consider a home server setup (or self hosting it wherever) and practicing for enterprise tasks.

Much of the crowd around here and certain subreddits IS probably practicing for more, but I have a counterexample. You won't find him around the internet. Not interested.

I have a friend who's recently learned just enough Linux and Docker to get through a Debian install with some prompting, and run a Matrix home server, Nextcloud and Jellyfin because he thought they were cool. Its an old (for him) repurposed desktop.

He's a mechanic. He doesn't care about anything enterprise. He doesn't want monitoring because he'll know if it's down. He doesn't care if backups run because he's sure he's got the important stuff on an old disk somewhere, probably.

The parking brake is the emergency brake, cant be a pin
I’m going through this experiment myself. I have some et20 (+20mm offset wheels) in a car that had 45mm offset wheels from the factory. Meaning the wheel center is 25mm further out than stock. However, the new wheel is also wider, so is not all on one side.

The steering is definitely different, especially because I also have tires that are 3 inches wider than the factory ones. The car is harder to keep straight if the ground is uneven because it wants to pull in all sorts of directions. I also don’t like how at full lock the outer wheel drags on the ground.
But at this width the closest I can get is an offset of +35mm, any higher and the wheel touches the control arm, and at 40 it would probably hit the springs.

Talking to some track guys seems like they are still faster with a wider track than with lower scrub and told me to not worry about it, but I still have my concerns.

I agree with you on the El Salvador part, but not on the investment part.

> Investments are sound based on probability and risk beforehand.

Investing in bitcoin had a limited downside (lose 100%), but a very high upside (reaches it's initial goals). For me, the potential gains outweighed the low probability.

I consider myself very lucky that I made some money (wasn't crazy to put all my money in there). But for me, when it would have gone to 0, I still feel it was worth the risk.

But of course, with such a high risk high reward investment, only invest a small % of your total money.

I've been of the mind that it should START with any profits. Then the fine.

It was a crime after all. They should be required to disgorge any gains, and then be penalized.

I worry how hard it would be to calculate these numbers though. Especially with creative accounting. That could be another part of the fine though: the cost of the forensic accountants to determine profits.
And Berlin had been capital of the Germany that came before. Colloquially named after Weimar (until a certain party took power, then colloquially named after that party), but Weimar has never been capital, only the place where the constitution was drafted. By that measure the Bonn republic would have to be called Frankfurt. Traditionally, the state that is usually considered predecessor of Germany (more like a feudalist mini-EU that happened to be mostly German language) never had anything resembling a capital, even after Habsburg effectively made Vienna the permanent seat of what we'd now call executive power. Assembly ("diet") was held in changing locations. At least formally, the last session at Regensburg was ruining for more than a century.
You don't, many modern cars have electronic parking brakes with small electric motors mounted on the rear calipers which push the brake pads against the discs when activated.

I make extensive use of the Spotify algorithm to discover the music I want to listen to based on my own idea of what it should sound like. For example if I want some music with a house beat but folky feel to it, then I'll create a playlist and 'seed' it with some house music and some folk music; about 10 tracks total. Then I'll scroll to the very bottom of the playlist and go through the Recommended Songs. Spotify is often pretty good at finding an 'average' of the different songs added to the playlist. I add the songs that fit my expectations to the playlist which further refines the recommendations. After I've added about 10 songs I'll remove the songs I used to seed the recommendations.

Sometimes this method doesn't work because maybe the 'average' you're looking for doesn't exist or Spotify hasn't connected the dots. Sometimes a track in the 'seed' can dominate the recommendations so try removing tracks that seem to skew the results or adding more from the opposite genre.

It does work with GraalVM (although the last time I did anything with that, I went through Gluon, which provides a bunch of wrappers around it). I have no idea if Clojure works with GraalVM, but if it does I guess the only missing piece is doing all the work the Graal & Gluon Maven/Gradle plugins do in cljfx? Plus the multi-minute build cycle which requires several GB of RAM, but that's a whole different kettle of fish.
Unless Google has started offering loans this specific scam seems unlikely in this case.

I know there's a lot of (very justified) vilification of Beeching, and Marples who was transport secretary at the time.

But actually Britain had leaned in hard to the railways, by undertaking a large modernisation scheme [1]. The problem is, they did it a bit too early, in the 1950s, when electricity seemed like a risky bet so they stuck with steam which was the UK's core strength.

Of course, that turned out to be a mistake in retrospect. In the 1960s, investing in the railways in any form at all would've seemed like making the same sort of mistake as just a few years ago.

One interesting analysis I saw about the Beeching cuts said that the worse sin is that they did not preserve rights of way i.e. when closing a line they should have built a road and run a bus service (as
Beeching's report recommended) or at least preserved it for potential rail reopening, but in many cases they sold the land off to developers so the chance was lost.

I've had an interest in using JavaFX multiple times for several projects over the years, it looks great, you get you use Java, and you can ship on all the platforms. I think the biggest problem I've had with it in the past is getting development up and running using a standard IDE like IntelliJ. Setting up JavaFX is confusing for beginners. There aren't a lot of great tutorials out there and the versions are especially confusing.

Which version of Java should I have installed? Which version of JavaFX should I have? How do I get them both installed and working nicely inside of my preferred development environment? I'm not saying it's very difficult, but there is a lack of easy material for beginners looking to start coding. Or at least there was the last time I tried to use it for a project.
For dance music, as a DJ, I find the best way is to find an artist through their song being played in a set I listen to, then check that artist's label for more. I can then buy / follow on Bandcamp to be alerted of new releases. I hear alot of talk about labels becoming obsolete nowadays, but they're great for this use case.

For ambient music, I also make a site (https://flowful.app) which procedurally generates ambient music for you. I have a Discord of people who use it, where theres a section for people to share music. Most of the new ambient stuff I find now is through there.

There are no up-down movements in full size cars and trucks, some kids toys maybe. Everything bigger moves an arm along a radius, which is "close" to up and down but not up and down.

Tire friction usually works on a vector-like system so being able to move more up-down rather than along a radius means maybe you'd get a couple percent more friction forward and back if not moving a little side to side when moving up and down. Which sounds useless, but 5% more usable tire friction means an improvement in braking and cornering performance which either makes the car safer or could theoretically make it cheaper/lighter to compensate.

But, what are people going to do with Jai, that they can't already do with Odin? As Odin was strongly influenced by Jai, it could be argued that most of whatever was innovative, is already incorporated in Odin and available today. Even more, since Odin is publicly available, its arguably being "battle tested" to a higher degree to make it a more polished product.

From my understanding, Jai is still years away from a general public release.

I can imagine some unintended consequences from this. If I'm a hard-going reviewer, people might choose to avoid me, and I'll be compensated less. Conversely, if I'm easy-going, people might find ways to get their papers to me.

I suppose there can be some other layer of reviewer meta-review to account for this, much like the role 'acceptance rate' has come to have for journals and conferences. But, following Goodhart's law, even that has come to be gamed now that a meaning - a proxy for journal prestige or quality - has been placed on it.
Clojure is compatible. GraalVM is not compatible.
All of the following is described in the Pijul manual:

- Cherry-picking in Pijul actually works.

- Conflicts: you don't need rerere, conflicts don't come back once you've solved them. Conflicts are the most confusing situations, this is where you need a good tool the most.

- So-called "bad merges", where a merge or a rebase goes completely wrong and shuffles your lines around. Git users rarely only call the lack of associativity a "bad merge" and don't look further, but using 3-way merge is the wrong way to merge things, because there isn't enough information to merge correctly in all cases.

- Depending on your pace of work, you might find yourself working on different things at the same time. Pijul allows you to do that without worrying too much about how you'll eventually organise your work. If I worked with Git for example, I'd spend a lot of time organising my branches, they'd never be right, and I'd spend a lot of times rebasing afterwards. Pijul frees me from that work.

- Large files, but Git doesn't treat them well for historical reasons, not for reasons inherent to its design (unlike the other points).

It is a failure because BTC has pivoted away from the Bitcoin whitepaper (p2p ecash), limited its blocksize and has taken the path of this strange "digital store of value" (lol). BTC's activity rose gradually up to 2017, and then topped off at 1MB and even dropped. [1]
