Just out of curiosity, did you investigate how much more expensive it would be to have molds made somewhere in the West? Is that even available at all for relatively small and inexpensive molds/projects/orders like yours?
If she gets to sleep through the night, she gets to wake early and take care of the child while you get a few hours uninterrupted sleep. Sleep is as important for your mental health and longevity as exercise is for your physical health and longevity.

I am a heavy sleeper too, so the agreement my wife and I had, was that she attend her son at night, he needed to be breastfed anyway, while I got to sleep. Then I was up at an ungodly early time and took care of my son while she could get some uninterrupted sleep. We did this for both of our children.

Her being pregnant is not an argument in favour of you having to do everything at night. Perhaps in the first few weeks while she recover, but after that, it's shared in a reasonable way. She does not get to dictate, but in unison you get to find a happy compromise, which includes enough sleep at regular intervals for both of you.

If you are willing to listen, listen to this: You are well on your way to a roommate situation, the first and biggest step towards a divorce. If you do not correct that course, both of you, that is with all likelihood what will happen. This path of a little bit of resentment many times, is a relationship killer.
ISO is supposed to be the sensitivity of the film to light, and the numbers were set by a standards organisation so I'm not sure you can double the number to double the effect.

Also, how does this even work on a digital camera? Surely we can't actually adjust how sensitive the sensor is to light, so is it just a simulation?

This!!! Though it's only limited to China because the app was banned here in March.

"according to cybersecurity researchers, it can also bypass users’ cell phone security to monitor activities on other apps, check notifications, read private messages and change settings.

And once installed, it’s tough to remove."

“We haven’t seen a mainstream app like this trying to escalate their privileges to gain access to things that they’re not supposed to gain access to,” said Mikko Hyppönen, chief research officer at WithSecure, a Finnish cybersecurity firm.

“This is highly unusual, and it is pretty damning for Pinduoduo.”

Came across a US website "Ameridroid" - eg: https://ameridroid.com/products/radxa-zero - that seems to do this:

Make sure to go to your cart and add ProtectMyOrder, *If shipping protection is not

"Shipping Protection" is a US$1.99 extra fee, which is turned on by default. Pretty clearly a complete scam approach.
> If I'm price-comparing hotels, and I see one that's $100/night, and another that's $75/night, I know that the cost may be higher due to taxes, but it will be higher by the exact same percentage for both of the hotels.

1) IMHO this doesn't help. If I don't know what the taxes are, then knowing that they will be similarly high on either transaction doesn't help me with budgeting. Just like it's hard to know if a $75/night hotel is within my budget without knowing the size of its resort fee, it's also hard to know if it's within my budget without knowing if the tax on it is 8% or 18%.

2) FWIW this varies by county, so it's easy to have two hotels that are a mile apart but with different tax rates. To pick a random state, here is an old table of hotel taxes in Florida by county: https://www.floridasalestax.com/florida-tax-law-blog/2015/ja.... These taxes vary from 7% to 13%, so if you're picking hotels next to a county border, the difference can be noticeable.
This is a cool hack, but it uses the Finder/file system as a graphics system, but isn’t really implemented in it.

When I read the title, I expected it to use folder actions (https://developer.apple.com/library/archive/documentation/La...) to obtain user input.

That, IMHO, would be slightly more “implemented in MacOS Finder”

It might be too slow but you could, for example, have the user drag a window around as the game controller, and have the main game loop create a file in a directory to trigger a folder action that runs the main game loop again.

Also, can’t you avoid the AppleScript startup problem with a stay-open AppleScript that you send events?
Business don’t care about self repair. They care about high durability and low failure rate as well as good support. They will just send the laptops back to the company to have them repaired.

You probably just don't? If you really want to, wait until you're married with dual income and buy significantly under your budget. That might mean a longer commute and your kids sharing a room, but you won't be having panic attacks during every performance review for the next three decades.
whoops, will look into why that is and fix! thanks for pointing it out!

wrt to scaling, you're right. The idea is definitely for people/communities to start their own interest-based gardens. The 'community garden' is just meant to be a general common space and a taste of the platform, if anything.
I hear this argument a lot, that we just need to improve bad, selfish or distracted people, not make things safer in general.

Maybe I'm cynical, but they will always exist, and we are also them sometimes too.

Speaking for myself as a UK resident, we do not have this turn on a red light rule, and I feel much safer knowing that when a light is red, traffic almost always isn't coming at me.
The nice thing about High DPI is that you can re-create the aperture grille/shadow mask of a real TV to get the actual sub-pixel pattern. That requires a high resolution since you need both enough pixels (since every original "pixel" requires 4+ pixels now) and small enough pixels (to make the effect not overly exaggerated - unless you want to emulate a low end TV with gigantic dot pitch). Also, no more "fake" scanlines because the entire mask is fake :)

Also, issues with pixel aspect ratio (8:7 vs 5:4 vs 4:3, square vs rectangular pixels) can be resolved while still being able to scale by exact integers rather than floats.

It's funny, but 4K displays might really be one of the best ways to play retro games nowadays, I'm hoping that upscalers (like the Retrotink 4K, or maybe future OSSC upgrades) will bring some of the stuff we've been doing in emulators to real hardware as well (though yes, that thing will cost several hundreds of dollars, so emulation is probably going to stay the preferred option for many).

Now we just have to solve losing the sync signal for games that switch between 240p and 480i during gameplay, or that don't have an exact 60 Hz refresh rate - Variable Refresh Rate displays are actually a real opportunity here as well. Oh, and find a way to all of that without introducing any display processing latency.
Have you ever used that oven?
Looks nice, some kind soul should add it to emacs themes https://github.com/emacs-themes/emacs-themes-site
It's complex. Many modern cameras have dual or triple gain amplifiers, with various range setups. Some ISO settings might be just a digital multiplier on the highest setting of the lower gain stage before switching to the higher gain (which may result in having better snr at higher iso for some settings).

Remember that "digital" sensors are mostly analog devices (dealing in continuous voltages).
Mm, I love that kind of historical measure thing, where you can find some correlations, a simple metric that syncs with huge real world consequences.

It shows the fundamental nature of economics, and how everything is connected, and how people's behavior in crises is surprisingly predictable. Thanks for sharing that! :)
A $9 Introduction to the RISC-V Future of Computing
And yet nobody is actually doing anything about it... I wonder why.
The T3 instances are all burstable, but they come with the "unlimited" feature toggled on by default. The T2 instances had this feature toggled off by default. So with this instance type you never really run out of credits, but you could quickly end up paying more than with other general purpose instance types, like M series, if you burn through a lot of credits.
Nope, what are they backed by? Nothing other than 'attestations' and 'trust me bro'.

Tether is a fraudulent ponzi, USDC is not stable and is backed by meaningless attestations, Luna is, well gone all the way to the floor.

Even if we take USDC on ETH there exists the uncontrollable volatile gas fee tax which is pointless for micropayments.

'Stablecoins' (or 'stabletokens' are inherently fraudulent and dead on arrival and is only used to pump the price of BTC in the which is the case for Tether.

ISO is linear scale and perception is log scale. Doubling the ISO (while keeping the shutter speed the same) increases the exposure by only one stop, which won’t seem twice as bright.
You could apply your video game system to other media consumption as well. Why don't you?
It's subs that target hatred and violence towards women. Things like social stalking, rape confessions, non-consensual pornography, secretly cumming on their belongings etc.
The post is mostly covering "mind" and "metabolic" things, but the effect extends to "body" things:

- more likely to avoid hurtful situations (lower attention, zone out events, micro sleep events, reflexes diminished).

- more likely to hurt yourself when such accidents occur

- once hurt, physical recovery is severely hampered

Car accidents are the obvious ones here but it extends to simple things like accidental cuts with knives, slipping in the tub, or sprained ankles or knees just walking down stairs or curbs.

And some other "mind" and "metabolic" things:

- immune system effectiveness plummets, so more chances to get sick

- REM deprivation causes neuronal death

- long term, leads to anxiety, false memories, paranoia, hallucinations, and psychosis (been there, done that; not a good place to be)

We all know that water is essential to not dying, but sleep appears to be on equal footing (3 days without either and you're in catastrophic states), maybe even more important (the - sad - record of a human surviving without water is 18 days, for sleep it's 10)

Is this just... does it just add a filter to give it film grain?
Marketing aside, cinematic in this context means more or less "manual control".

Something that makes a video look amateurish, it's the phone trying its best to prioritise a 'clear image', but that means changing parameters mid-recording.

Now, this isn't bad, it's ideal for someone who doesn't want to lose the moment without worrying about choosing the right setting (imagine a parent recording their child's recital or soccer game). But the trade-off is that it looks choppy.

But if you're in a controlled environment, you can set a fixed exposure (balance between ISO, shutter speed and aperture), framerate, bit-depth, focus distance, colour temperature and microphone gain depending on your intent.

As an example, image you want to have a high-contrast image with a dark silluette of someone and a bright background like a sunset, the default phone camera app will try to guess whether you want to focus on the subject or the background, and will switching between the two randomly. With manual control, you can chose, whatch you want.
To add to the other commenters: when you tweak the sensors sensitivity for light, the aperture will compensate by letting less light in – unless it is fixed. So there should be no noticeable difference in brightness unless you set a fixed aperture.
Show HN: Data Catering – Data generation and testing tool
Hi everyone, I'm Peter. A Software Engineer who has been around the data space for the majority of my career. Data Catering is a tool I've been itching to try and implement as I've spent lots of time debugging data issues, generating manual data to test jobs/services or replicating production-like data flows, all driven by metadata.

The usual way to solve this problem is to stream/load a subset of production data, mask it and store it in a pre-prod environment. This is okay but can increase the risk of personal data leaking as pre-prod environments may not have the same security measures in place (Optus data leak as an example https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2022_Optus_data_breach), having network connections between prod and non-prod being opened, and it may not cover all data scenarios (different permutations/combinations of values).
Another approach is to generate data yourself. There are a number of existing tools that can aid with data generation but lack the ability to clean up the generated data, generate both batch and event data, define relationships between datasets (for example, an account can have multiple transactions associated with it, or foreach account create event,
the same account should exist in a CSV file), or validating data.

With this in mind and following along the ideas of having a tool that can be run anywhere, ability to automatically discover, generate and validate data, and giving users the ability to customise, Data Catering was created.
Main features include:
- Metadata discovery
- Batch or event data generation
- Maintain referential integrity across any dataset
- Create custom data generation scenarios
- Clean up generated data
- Validate data
- Suggest data validations

In terms of technical details, it is a Spark based application where users can use the Java/Scala API or YAML files to interface with it. It is a single docker image that can be run following the quick start found here (https://data.catering/get-started/docker/).

I believe there is room for improvement in the data testing area as we should look to be more proactive in detecting and resolving bugs related to data quality.

Any feedback is appreciated!
We can configure the gain of the analog amplifiers
I think we had the same idea, but I didn't get to finish building mine. OIDC tokens being available in most CI systems these days is a nice building block.

Russia is quietly sapping the strength of Ukraine, NATO and the EU, and Israel is reaping the harvest from sowing discontent in the region for decades.

One day, a dozen angry palestinians who have been tirelessly beaten by the Israelis, are going to do something truly terrible to Israel, and there isn't anything they can do about it aside form make peace now.

Also, stop watching the news. It's poison.

A prime example of this is leaving autofocus on when you're moving about. There's many YouTubers who haven't yet learnt this lesson and it can make the video unwatchable.
Uhm not sure about the exact date but Boeing Defense produces military aircraft so probably not too long ago.
given their computation power now, how many people do you think would benefit from that offering vs older pis sold at a discount?

the main point for the price was to make it more accessible for kids, so that parents can buy one without thinking too much about the costs. the 1/2 GB may not support the desktop use cases that might be expected from the performance of the new pi.

i think the pi zero is now their main go-to device for the price-consious audience at this rate.
Engineerguy explains it pretty well: https://youtu.be/RMjtmsr3CqA?t=391
Pretty much full skeleton of an argument. Nevertheless, there s more insidious element, pretty much Tabu to add. The blatant double standards in applying the standards of International law and UN resolutions, as well as moral law of the west in addressing the inevitable results of ignoring them.

There has been written dozens upon dozens of books, one can go to UN resolution back to 70 years, every year dozens broken resolution by Israel. As per UN resolution Israel is occupying force, illegal settlements should be dismantled, as per international law armed resistance to occupation is allowed. In fact, to be consistent the EU and west should blockade Israel (economically, politically, culturally, militarily as they did with RU) until it withdraws to international borders. It seems, no pun intended, there is clearly nationalistic and ethnical element in the way West applies the law and projects its power one can argue with too much evidence in favor for such interpretation (and it is very sad to not have it in the conversation).

One cannot have it both ways, except politicians -- which then creates out of very simple situations very tragic ones for all parties involved.
In addition, high DPI/refresh screens can recreate any CRT you have a shader for, or only recreate the "artistically relevant" aspect, the blur and gamma characteristics and not recreate the irrelevant flaws of CRTs.
More than anything it's about color correction and color grading.

This video explains it nicely I think: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pAh83khT1no

If you are starting out with good data (e.g. 32bit exr workflow), you would be amazed how powerfully and easily you can control what you want and what the possibilities are, with tools like MagicBullet (which offer presets to get you the cinema look with just a mouse click). But if you work long enough in this area you can discover your own workflow and pull it off without these tools, e.g. play with hue&sat, white balance adjustments, the curves, introducing an S-curve for example, color wheels, etc.
No, thank you for moderating.
Every additional third party improvement I see shows me how other companies are still investing in the iPhone. It's been a few years now since Google seems to be on a constant decline, and the latest Pixel phones only seem to go further on that path.

It's the contrast between an ecosystem on a decline, and one still being invested in by others.

Not that Apple are perfect, the single biggest blocker to my cohort of friends all replacing their Android with iOS within a few weeks remains the lack of a native third party browser with adblocking extensions.

I wouldn't recommend anybody to read these kinds of books and only because they never helped me.

Once I went into the actual clinical literature of many various kinds of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy I saw significant improvement in the way how I live my life and how often procrastination encounters me.

The reason why they helped by gaining a very nuanced understanding of how the mind works. This allowed to identify the patterns from a point of understanding and self-compassion ("Ah, see, this is what they meant with perpetuation").

However, that is not enough. You also need constant awareness of these patterns in order to change them. Something that you learn in Mindfulness courses and train with meditative practices and journaling.

So, if I may present a simple equation: Go to the doctor.

> Out of curiosity, wouldn't it be easier/cheaper/faster to use some existing off-the-shelf design and drill/machine some holes if you need it slightly modified?

For small production runs, definitely. There are standard aluminum extrusions for boxes with PC boards. You slide the PC board in, and provide custom flat end plates with holes for connectors and controls. Here's one of mine.[1] The end plates were cut on a laser cutter. Here's a supplier in China.[2] For small boxes, the aluminum extrusion alone should cost a few dollars.

Somewhere above a few thousand, custom injection molding becomes cheaper. Amusingly, these are better boxes than plastic injection molding, but don't look like consumer products.
