> does anyone know if earbuds with active noise cancelation like airpods pro offer similar hearing protection benefits

Yes, ANC headphones do protect your hearing, but they offer weaker protection than specialized heavy-duty equipment like you'd find on a construction site or a shooting range. When using your AirPods Pro your Apple Watch will even factor that in its noise measurements and show you the original noise level and the one that your ears are actually subject to thanks to ANC. For example if I sit right next to a loud vacuum cleaner my Watch says 85 dB, but when I enable ANC on my AirPods Pro 2 it drops down to 62 dB.

One issue is than ANC can't predict and sometimes react fast enough to sudden loud noises, so if an engine backfires next to you, your ANC headphones will take a few miliseconds to catch up and will allow the original sound (minus their inherent (passive) sound isolation) to reach your ear.
Hundreds of millions of people drink alcohol every month and lead perfectly healthy lives unaffected by addiction.
there are societies without alcohol, in fact about 2 billions people are not drinking at all, what is better?
>In the end, it helped me see that all programming is basically a spreadsheet and analogous to the STDIN/STDOUT stream processing of Unix executables. All of the stuff we think of as programming, like objects and classes, is basically hand waving to make problems/solutions supposedly fit in the human mind.

Holy shit Zack, I thought you didn't pay attention at Bayside???

Mind-blowing thought for my mind at this place and this time. Something that I intuited at some point but never made concrete by putting it into words. Thanks for sharing!
What I don't see mentioned and haven't found information on is how good these wooden structures are at sound isolation, especially lower frequencies like bass/kickdrum and compressor sounds. Does anybody have information on this?
You can distinguish full and empty using x-y=0 vs x-y=N if the length N is a power of two and smaller than the integer type holding indices x, y. No unused element needed then.
No problem. I wouldn't like to be at an event organized by someone who looks at me with disgust for whatever reason.

Am I missing anything here? This is just a shell wrapper for running a couple of basic docker commands in sequence. It's not even zsh, so you can have some semi-decent argument parsing with zparseopts.

For similar docker automation I just use a Makefile with pattern rule (e.g. `docker-sh-%`). This is much more flexible than shell scripts because recipes can be easily remixed to provide higher-level functionality.

> Is my new project also part of the problem?

Yes. In a few ways it’s considerably worse. Your website is referencing major world events, including war and freedom of press, by leveraging uninformed comments from the web (many of them themselves written by AI). That would be a problem even if your content weren’t auto-generated (random comments don’t make good or accurate journalism) but it’s worse when it’s churned at a high rate and introduces its own false interpretations.
We'll probably never know but it would be very interesting to get an idea for their motivation to collect this data in the first place.

It's a fine line between data collection for commercial reasons and spying. Of course the mis-representation is an issue all by itself and Apple/Google should kill this app for that reason alone if they are going to be consistent.
> pressure on the eardrum even if you don't hear it

Hearing is literally "pressure [changes] on the eardrum". Unless it's outside the frequency range of our hearing, if there's waves hitting your eardrum, you hear them.

So either you're not expressing yourself clearly enough our you've seriously misunderstood how sound works.
Well, that's only because Rust is better known.

I don't think ideas need to be bashed just because they seem spiritual, or are presented in such terms. The idea may be good, and my disliking a particular flavor of explanation could be like me disliking a particular physics textbook - the information is good, just the style doesn't resonate.

But it's a different case where you have a whole thread of comments that reject out of hand the obvious framework of thinking that yields good results and good predictions, to replace it with a more fuzzy framework of thinking that goes against observable evidence, and recounting stories of "getting it" after meditation or doing yoga for 5 years or such. It's one thing to enjoy and recommend different kinds of experiences of self, and we know the mind is quite malleable in that regard. But the brain/body split isn't just an experience, it's an actual model that's useful in dealing with objective reality. If someone is trying to replace that with some embodied wholesome "me is my body" or "me is universe" view, then that is pushing spiritual mumbo jumbo into scientific and pragmatic areas of life, where it doesn't belong.

And if someone bashes people for having that more mechanistic/objective model inform their perception of self, then... well... when did it become bad to look at the world with clear eyes instead of having your head in the clouds? Or is it the dreaded, bad, no-good "Western philosophy" again?
Rather than raw letter frequency, more powerful is frequency of digraphs, and that surely does not appear random in that context, instead spiking with common digraphs such as IE, EI, UN, NU.

Also going for longer cribs such as NUL, EINS, ZWEI, DREI etc proves generally fruitful. There is also a story about the crib HEILHITLER toward the end of a message being particularly useful for code breakers but I don't know if that is genuine or contemporary disinformation to cover true code breaking capabilities, akin to the story of carrots being good for darksight[1] as cover for improved radar capability.

Preface: Day job is owning a low latency telco.

a single cable system under construction(which we are buying part of) (there are over 30) has over 120t of capacity @400G waves, but we are already discussing doing 800G waves, which will double that. We currently operate on over 7 submarine cables, one of the landing stations we operate out of has over 10 cable landing which is over 850T of capacity across all cables.

Most of my metro DF backhaul can push 16-19T down a single pair, and most of my builds are 1728 core fiber.

Starlink is very cool, it will connect ALOT of under served or simply not served people across the world, but the notion that it will even have the slightest chance at dinting the Subsea cable market is laughable.

Ok, so I actually had to deal with this.

Pick some sort of standard, for example CAIQ and have an always-up-to-date version of it. You’d be surprised how many customers would accept it if you tell them “hey - we use a standard - is this acceptable?”

After that - figure out what certifications will be advantageous. Then automate, automate, automate with something like Hyperproof/Vanta. You will still need a compliance person or more likely a team at that point, so those certs have to unlock some serious money. Otherwise - just stay on top of VSA’s until running a compliance program makes sense.

Just don’t fall for the baseless “SOC2 equals enterprise customers” spiel. Analyse your pipeline and regulatory environment and make a call based on that. So many startups spend millions running a compliance program that brings in thousands.

> The Court will grant the motion to dismiss pursuant to Rule 12(b)(1) because plaintiff's claim is not redressable. NARA does not have the authority to designate materials as “Presidential records,” NARA does not have the tapes in question, and NARA lacks any right, duty, or means to seize control of them. In other words, there has been no showing that a remedy would be available to redress plaintiff's alleged injury even if the Court agreed with plaintiff's characterization of the materials. Since plaintiff is completely unable to identify anything the Court could order the agency to do that the agency has any power, much less, a mandatory duty, to do, the case must be dismissed.

>...Under the statutory scheme established by the PRA, the decision to segregate personal materials from Presidential records is made by the President, during the President's term and in his sole discretion, see44 U.S.C. § 2203(b)

https://casetext.com/case/judicial-watch-inc-v-natl-archives...

The room for judicial review of a President's determination of personal vs. presidential records is so narrow the chances of it actually being successful in court are slim.

> Moreover, that goes in hand with the recently released audio of the events transcribed in US v. Trump Nauta wherein he acknowledges that he could have declassified it, but did not.

Looking at the context in which the statements were made, it is clear that Trump's primary intent was to signal the authoritative nature of the documents - in order to demonstrate that a senior military official had been lying about him (with regard to plans to invsde Iran).

His statements about whether they are classified mean very little when his very act of retaining them makes them personal records. Saying "I could have declassified them" is simply another way of saying "I could have made them public" and is not a statement about his right as president be the sole arbiter over what constitutes a presidential record.

I spent a couple years in college station. The concept of a designated driver did not exist there. I doubt it does in any campus.

It seems like most of this works fine with browsers and MUAs separate. I can still copy text from webpages into emails and open links in tabs and add sites to my browser's bookmarks with very little friction.

Personally, and I realize I'm probably an outlier here, but I want to keep my email as far away from my web browser and the internet as possible, unless I'm being very deliberate. If I open an email, I want all remotely hosted content blocked, I don't want JS to run, I'd prefer even the most basic HTML stripped out entirely and the message presented as plain text. The more interconnected my mail client and browser are, the more I'd fear an errant click could result in a loss of security and/or privacy. Email is toxic, and I really want it quarantined.

I'll just drop this factoid:

You "win" Guinness World Records by paying for them.
Shards in UO are called that way because of the lore (gem shattered into shards), and each shard is just a regional server completely isolated from other shards. So they are not very different from Minecraft or Planetside servers. Sharding in other games split the user base based on active load. This is not the case with UO.
I'm really confused by the "sanitising" comment - I understand "engineered" to refer to the whole manufacturing process, the fact that it resembles and functions similarly to "raw" solid wood but has been broken down and rebuilt with different properties (of which fire-resistance is just one). What would be a better name? Is "pressure-treated" sanitized because it doesn't really convey what chemicals are involved? I'm having a hard time envisioning how the general name for this class of products would be expected to better reflect the potential presence of fire-retardant chemicals.
I don't see any link between shareholder demands and business viability, other than "keep the business profitable". What makes you think shareholders are more familiar with the market a company operates in than the company itself?

Ön the other hand, isn't the time spent exposed to loud sounds what counts for hearing damage? I.e. one should be less worried precisely about the sorts of things ANC is bad at dealing with?
A point that AFAICT is not articulated in the article is why the two cached fields should be in their own dedicated cache line (e.g. why readIdxCached_ can not share the cache line with writeIdx_).
I agree with you that it's common, and it should get more attention than it does. My parent post is discussing the causes, which do not involve "airlines pumping exhaust into the cabin", and refuting the incorrect idea that they stopped using bleed air "for a few years".

A framework could make the programmer think they are in eager mode, while actually making graphs behind the scenes.

The trick is to simply not do any calculations till the last possible moment - ie. the time the program tries to convert the finished image to a jpeg. Only at that point do you compile the graph and run the actual computation on the GPU.

You then also cache the graph, so that the compilation step can be avoided if the program tries to do the same computation again with different data.
How is this short-sightedness? Voters are voting for what's best for them, and it is indeed best for them. There are only two ways of fixing it: cancel democracy (in a dictatorship no one gives a damn about what people want, and developers make max profit by building everything they want), or cancel market economy, so the housing can't be sold or bought and the Party distributes it as it sees fit. Both looks to me worse than what we have today.

Cruel explanation: there is no way of organising society that's good for more than a half of people.
I think most of reactions here are because comment reads like you believe someone who drinks alcohol cannot go for a dinner to a restaurant or to grab a coffee and be sober.

You know that people who drink also meet people sober and most of their life they are sober to do work and much of socializing as well.

Going with comment on "conversations are more memorable and deep" comes off as smug just like you would show off how many IQ points you have.

I don't meet people to have "memorable or deep insights", I meet people because I like them and I feel like giving them my time is nice thing to do and I am happy that they feel that I am worthy enough so they want to spend time with me.

Allocation + deallocation might have more overhead together. I'll try to rephrase: Requesting an object from a pool might have more overhead than allocating a fresh object, and deallocating the object doesn't happen on an application thread but on a GC thread (depending on the GC, obviously).
Alexksey Shipilev has good resources how GCs in HotSpot typically allocate objects (https://shipilev.net/jvm/anatomy-quarks/4-tlab-allocation/).

There definitely are scenarios where pooling might make sense, but basically the low hanging fruits in that area in minecraft are already reaped.

If you want more than a spsc queue, I've written `lockfree`, a collection of SPSC and MPMC data structures along the same principles the author here used:https://github.com/DNedic/lockfree.

The library is written in standard C++11 (but additional API's for higher C++ versions have been added), uses no dynamic allocation and is configurable so it is both big metal and deeply embedded friendly.

Depends on what level of criminal you are. I’m sure there’s some rich criminal boss in Belarus that could certainly get away with displaying it. Maybe later he’ll sell it to Putin for a literal ton of gold bars. Right now the Russians are paying debt by literally flying around airplanes full of gold. Who could do anything about it?

The world is a big place and the rule of law we trust to just work in the West is certainly not the norm everywhere.
Bwaha, a drunk me is objectively better than a sober me. By far. :P
Both? The ceiling is angled because of the roof. I guess some houses might not have rooms that high so one doesn't mean the other.
> This is not an issue with the runtime

Yes. But no. But yes.

The code couldn't been written better to allocate less. But the runtime encourages cheap allocations you don't think about. But the runtime could provide/encourage tooling that makes it hard to make that mistake. But...

It all overlaps. Sure, JVM is cool and handles it, but also what JVM is influenced how people instinctively used it.
If you're an outlier then I am also an outlier.

To my great annoyance, the text version of many emails is broken, I see unfilled template variables all over the place.

Which blues pub was it? I used to enjoy going to the 12 bar in Denmark Street but a lot of the music scene there has closed down now. That used to be where a lot a the musical instrument shops were. Unfortunately due to rents and online selling there aren't too many physical music shops anymore in Central London.
I used to find that.

The problem is unlike developed countries where corporations are involved in these shenanigans, in the case of India it is usually common tradesmen who are involved in adulteration.

Because they operate in an unregulated environment (which is often a matter of pride, “small business” and all that good stuff) it is difficult for the government to step in.
>The conversations are more memorable and deep and happen at coffee shops

More memorable than what - in pubs which you don't go to? You don't know because you've never partook, as you said. You don't know what you're missing out on. How then can you judge one way or the other?

I wouldn't dismiss alcohol as a net negative to humanity. Beer and wine are Lindy staples in European cultures, not just as intoxicants but primarily as food. And although your family culture is quite different, the majority culture of the wealthy, liberal country you received your world-class education from is alcohol-positive. There's something to that.

Note also that drinking alcohol doesn't mean drinking to excess, which is what many people seem to implicate when they talk about drinking alcohol.
1. In a start-up, you being good at what you do is what separates the company failing from it succeeding. In FAANG, none of what you do matters. There are thousands of initiatives and redundancies.

2. Highly standardized is exactly what leads to politics. Everyone's circumstances are different but somehow you need to fit everything to the same ill-fitted mold, so everyone is trying to exploit the game. The standardized interview is also the worse thing about Google/Facebook leading to dumbing things down, lack of purpose, and bad targeting of specialized skills. At least Google is backtracking from it.

3. A small company has vision and enables a few people to have genuine impact, this is what leads to doing something different and innovating. Those few people in power are stubborn, they need to. You don't innovate through design by committee. If you don't like the vision you shouldn't have joined that company.
The point you could be missing is that while there was an administrative split, the folks living in the East still considered themselves Roman citizens. Which they were, in law.
