I also have what I'd now say is quiet tinnitus, when I used to party a lot it was pretty bad. I won't notice it during the day and I don't really notice it at night, however that wasn't the case a year or two ago.

Things I've done to try prevent it getting worse:

* iOS has a limit volume option - that's on permanently.

* I use a speaker on soft volume in the room when wfh rather than headphones when listening to music.

* I have ear plugs on my keys for when I end up going out to music events and festivals (I use Alpine, partner uses Loop). This made a huge difference and I'll go to bed without ringing ears.

* I try have days where I don't listen to music. At first it was weird, now I'm quite used to it.

* Online meetings, keep the volume low where possible.
Everyone but you. Check any statistics journal. Only a few people developing methods switched to Python or Julia.

Import was way more complex than that.

At least into Hungary my parents literally needed to smuggle a ZX Spectrum they sourced in Munich from a bargain bin. That was in 1985. I learned programming then and haven't really stopped since :)
Time was the same for the people that were measuring it with the same tools.

Western sundials started with 12 hours as they worked only during the day [1] and people that were not measuring time eventually measured it with a 24 hours system.

I could not find many sources about Chinese sundials but from the pictures at [2] you can see that they had 12 hours in all the day. A hour on the second sundial is divided in 8 parts. The one in the first picture seems to have the same 8 characters as the other one but each hour is divided into 2 parts, each divided in 4 parts.

I'm not surprised that everybody settled around some small and convenient number. 12 has more factors than 10 and dividing by 2 is more convenient than dividing by 3. I would be surprised to find a 9 or a 15.

> Scaling is rumored to be a wall most OpenBSD products hit at some point

I suspect the vast majority of OpenBSD users never hit a "scaling wall". What do you mean by product?

In a previous life I installed two OpenBSD routers with a 10GbE card each. With carp(4) they could push nearly 20Gbps total. This was back in 2015 or so.

"Scaling" would just be matter of adding more nodes, or replace with 40GbE cards (which would require a more powerful CPU).

Perhaps running a high traffic relayd on them would have reduced the throughput. But that smells like poor architecture: let routers be routers and load balancers be load balancers :)
They aren’t admitting, they are saying that if the proposed adjustment would be agreed upon they would end up paying less than the $30B mentioned.

There's a lot of activity around this topic in Europe. E.g. several companies with innovative products in the UK, Netherlands, and Scandinavia. Also changing regulations around gas are creating incentives for houses to modernize. A lot of home owners are spending lots of money in this new market.

One company that was promoted on the Fully Charged Youtube channel a few times is Myenergi. They have a range of products around managing energy in your house. If you combine them, you can do things like defining rules for when to use solar energy from your roof to charge your battery, heat your boiler, charge your car, or sell it back to the grid. Seems like a smart solution. There are many such solutions in the market.

Nice channel to check out if you want to know more about this. They regularly review products and solutions in this space.
A lot of people... in fact a huge portion of statisticians, epidemiologists, econometrics, use it as their primary language.

I do genetic epidemiology (which is considerably more compute intensive than regular epidemiology), and R is still the most common language, with the most libraries and packages being used for it, compared to python for example.

I think maybe you should consider being less forthcoming with your opinions on topics which you are not well informed on.
fyi many state-of-the-art statistical libraries exist (or are properly maintained) in R only

There’s literally a popular tax avoidance scheme called the “Double Irish” - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Double_Irish_arrangement

The Irish sandwich loopholes are regarded as the largest tax avoidance scheme in history. It was actively facilitated by the Irish government the whole time.

> Irish state documents released to the Irish national archives in December 2018 showed that Fine Gael ministers in 1984 sought legal advice on how U.S. corporations could avoid taxes by operating from Ireland.

> the Irish government, on lobbying from PwC Ireland's IFSC tax partner, Feargal O'Rourke, relaxed the rules for sending royalty payments to non–EU countries without incurring Irish withholding tax.

> The Irish Revenue issued private rulings to Apple in 1991 and 2007 regarding this hybrid-double Irish structure, which the EU Commission considered as illegal State aid.
Shameless plug:

I use the 31.2" panel because it is 40% cheaper and has higher DPI, but the 42" panel is also possible.
The main thing that changed is expectations.

I could make a simple utility far easier now than ever. But I'm less likely to, because I expect multi device sync, edge case handling, a long history of successful use, mobile support, support for common file formats, etc.

Personal sites are still really cool, but I appreciate them more as creative expression more than anything, and the tech still has a long way to go in the convenience department, now that everything is SSL(Although neocities seems to have it down for some kinds of site!).

The challenge of simple tech is no longer the tech, it's finding the applications, or I suppose for some in learning to appreciate the simplicity enough that you don't mind the extra work.

It's why I always think knot tying is so unique and special. It hasn't lost any value at all. It's not a point of controversy, or a retro thing people go out of their way to do. If you know knots, you'll probably find a scenario where it's the obvious first choice.

I don't encounter that kind of thing with simple tech nearly as often. The existing general purpose stuff is easier than any custom app I could make, everyone already knows it, there's usually some foundation developing it, and the path of least resistance and least chance of major hassles, at least to me usually seems to be adapting the task to fit the most popular well established tool.

Cool. I would suggest to make it multilingual as the T, M and J labels are not easy to understand by those who don't speak German.
That's pretty limited on input count even compared to original Tascam. I'd think having to fuck around with cabling or having whole extra mixer just to swap what it is sent to it might be pretty annoying.

One idea to get around that (provided the whatever CPU you use there have that feature) would be USB host mode, many of the more modern devices have USB audio mode where they present themselves as soundcard, or user can then just use normal audio interface to give it extra inputs.
Possibly one of these from 6 days ago: https://soundcloud.com/eric-limer "Volca Jam 1" likely given the instruments involved and his description of it.
Does this Make the Isreali military human animals? because in pure numbers they killed much more Palestinians. And much more per capita from Palestine population over the years?

All the comments (and down votes) are not responding to my comment in a good faith and ignoring my core message is that it is not about isreal loses this week. The conflict root causes are the injustice. You cannot for example start the events in Ukraine from Ukrainian attacks on kirch bridge and crimea that cause civilians casualties. This will be dishonest and all people will agree on this.

But somehow isreal always gets exception and a pass for anything.

And someone here described my comment as propaganda although I just described facts. How much Palestinian needs to die for your liking so that you will consider this genocide. How much injustice do you want them to suffer? Cutting food, water supply and prevention of any aid to enter while doing mass bombing is not enough.

The US military nuked two cities full of civilians and half of the American still consider that this was a good thing to end a war. The logic ia being used by some people and I am afraid that it will be employed against the Palestinian population.

Ignoring all my comment and facts I provided via western sources and the lie spread by biden in plain sight and down voting is just dishonest.

It will be always the case that in the western world the life of Palestinians are cheap. The history begins always at the point where isreal wants.

You support apartheid state that declare itself as it is. The world is watching all that in silence. The classic video from 2021 describes an interaction in Jerusalem between settler and Palestinian evicted from their home and bonus point a quick interview with him. [1]

being blind to all this is something unbelievable.

No it's definitely true for taxes as well. Even on a tiny individual level you can argue with the tax authorities about whether something was purchased for business or personal use for example.

Ireland is recognised as a tax haven by basically everyone else. I think your framing really ignores the stark reality of how they’ve facilitated tax evasion.

> Each of the seven [UK] recruitment regions creates a separate spreadsheet, but these have no standardised template, naming convention or structure. After being manually amended, all of the various scores are entered into a Master spreadsheet. This is carried out row-by-row and takes several days, likely to be subject to interruptions

> In the process, a ranking column [..] had been wrongly transferred [..], erroneously appearing as an interview score. After their interviews, candidates were ranked 1 to 24 – with 24 actually being the total number of candidates interviewed in the region.

Is 24 an untypically low number of candidates for a region or are the files structured so badly it takes "several days" to merge a few hundred rows?
I also often buy books! Especially if I really like the book or the author. I don’t think this is an unpopular opinion.

I don’t think that borrowing from the library supports the author in some way you don’t know about — it shows interest in the book and leads to copies being purchased but buying the book directly definitely seems like it would have a bigger impact. But borrowing from the library does support the library! And libraries can be really great for their communities :)
Was there ever some followup to this?

Thank you! Agreed, it’s awesome!
That's hilarious. Mercedes had a checkered repair history, especially US models that don't have a German equivalent or are post-merger frankensteins.

Mostly, mascot or emblem theft was a 90's media-generated gangster thing limited primarily to higher-crime areas to wear car emblems on a chain, so maybe they were gopniks but 15 years too late. Also why Rolls Royce invented the retracting bonnet mascot. They early ones were silver plated and later ones were optionally gold plated. (Of course like Porsches, Rolls Royce can and are customized, so I wouldn't at all be surprised if a solid platinum or palladium Spirit of Ecstasy exists.)

80's BMWs, Cadillacs, and Jaguars were big money makers for my dad. His dad and him bemoaned that they could've made more money if only they were dishonest. They both had experience working at dealerships as mechanics. They saw more tactics than these:

- Charging for parts not replaced (which is why you always ask to see the old parts)

- Magically finding other things wrong that need expensive, unnecessary parts (which is why you always get a written estimate before leaving, and appear to have a somewhat understanding of what constitutes the vehicle)

- Eyewash: overselling standard procedures or aspirational steps not performed, usually with the purpose of justifying higher prices and/or increasing customer satisfaction (if there's too much marketing, then you're the mark)

Also: In the US, the Better Business Bureau (BBB) is 99.8% a confidence scam: it's a for-profit marketing company that sells a false appearance of authority and credibility with negligible actual due-diligence or accountability.
What do you guys think about this idea? I believe it will greatly increase the efficiency of startups iterating their products.
Fun metric time fact is that France conceded to Greenwich becoming the international prime meridian on the condition that the conference on the meridian also expressed a hope for a decimalised system of time (and angles). https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/International_Meridian_Confere...

In the end they ended up not adopting the Greenwich meridian for quite some time afterwards.
A couple of more introductory books that come at it from the point of view of "someone who can code" are:

Can second Statistical Rethinking though if you have the basics of stats and want to learn it again from a very different, more causal/bayesian point of view.
I stand corrected.

It was just about time, considering there was a jestful tricking the developer of relayd to reprogram it to httpd. IIRC he got epic tricked into it! In the sense he didn't even know he was making a webserver until he actually made it. This may not be a very true version, but I love to believe so.

Tascam (I think still?) makes DP-03 SD which is basically 8 track digital version of the portastudio. Weirdly enough, with less inputs
Before I knew command line, I tried to install python and spent the next 3 days resolving an installation issue with 'wheel'.

By contrast, from first downloading R to running my first R script took about 1 hour (the most difficult part was opening the 'script' pane in RStudio IDE, which doesn't open by default on new installations, for some reason).

There's huge demand out there for statistical software that's accessible to people whose primary pursuit is not programming/cs, but genetics, bioinformatics, economics, ecology and other disciplines that necessitate tooling much more powerful than excel, but with barriers to entry not much greater than excel. R is a fairly amazing fit for those folks.
Sega had Scud Race. It had 3D mainly in arcades.
Yes, this is very Spectrum-like, basically lifted the font, I guess. No colour-clash though, it seems.

You can. EU law is written by commissioners, which are appointed by national governments. You can change the commissioners by changing the national governments, which happens through elections.

It doesn't have to be so binary. It can he both, or a spectrum.

They had an aural vision. They also had limitations (i.e., only four tracks). But that's what artists [1] do...They challenge limitations. They challenge expectations. They bread down barriers. They see scarcity as a feature, not a bug.

Where others cowered at the confinements of the medium, The Beatles, George Martin, Geoff Emerick (engineer), and Ken Townsend (technical engineer) rolled up their sleeves and when to work.

Overcoming the medium was part of the challenge. That albatross contributed to the creativity, ingenuity and innovation. It's was part of the problem *and* the resulting solution.

[1] I'm using the text book definition of artist. Today mear pop stars are given credit for being artists. Nah. They don't technically qualify but their publicist, manager and label probably believe it's good for PR, as well as the overly fragile pop star ego.
Yea, but he proposed shifting the phase of the physical signal (16.5khz) which supposedly matches the frequency of the imaginary signal.

The snark is getting a bit tiring. No, plenty of hardware failures but we had redundancy. Our availability wasn’t dependent on how fast I cold drive to the data center at 3am. Drive dies, who cares, there are plenty of hot spares, we’ll deal with it during business hours. Server dies, who cares, there are lots of them. We have remote hands too, so simple hardware replacement is something you can get cheap onsite labor to do.

If your operations halt until some poor sysadmin has to drive to the colo, you are absolutely doing it wrong.

I was fascinated by the Amiga when I was young, but they weren't widely available in my country.

Lately I've had an itch to do some retro programming work and was looking at the Amiga specifically. I tried Aztec C natively in UAE and VBCC as a cross-compiler, and got some command-line and hello world Intuition programs working.

But going beyond that has proven somewhat difficult. Documentation seems to be scattered all over the internet. I found a bunch of books on archive.org, but they mostly seem to focus on Intuition applications or beginner programmers.
