You know what makes the difference?

Take a walk, or catch a train and think about what you read. Find the main ideas and how the material relates to yourself. Play with it and ask yourself questions about it.

Then next day try to answer them in paper without extra material. And only after that reread the book to check or find unsolved the answers.

Learning is hard. There is nothing as easy learning. The good news is that it can be hand AND fun.

About reading:

Engage in every sentence, ask yourself what the writer is trying to tell you in every sentence, after that translate it to imagination and relate it with yourself and what you already know.

There is shallow reading and deep reading. Deep reading is a must for technical books, but also a joy for fiction. I still remember so vividly the coldness and texture of the walls of the hobbit's first mountain tunnels despite haven't been told about it.

How can I sniff Bluetooth connections over the air?
I'm currently trying to capture the BLE communication packets sent between the smartband and my phone after connecting them. I have tried the nRF sniffer for Bluetooth LE of Nordic semiconductor, but it only worked if I clicked start capturing packets and selected my device in the device list before I connected my smartband to my phone. If I connected two devices first, the smartband won't send advertising packets and won't show up in the device list. And then I click start caputring packets, the wireshark could not capture any packets. Is there any other relatively low-cost solutions that I can capture Bluetooth connections packets even if the devices have already connected before I start capturing?

Many lives would have been lost if so many billions were not spent on fixing Y2K issues.

I don’t know about direct lives saved but I have 2nd hand knowledge (I didn’t become a programmer until a few years after Y2K) of systems which if they did break down would have cost lives because people would have not had access to desperately needed money and it was statistically likely that at least a few of them would have died through suicide if not due to the issues created by the lack of money.
NSPredicate is a rather old system which is (or at least was) extremely open. I suspect few developers realized just how much they could get out of NSPredicate across sandbox boundaries when mediated by the OS.

However, that also means locking this down without understanding developer usage would also be a severely breaking change for potentially important software on the platform.

Not quite 25% according to these numbers (https://stockanalysis.com/stocks/googl/employees/), but yeah, that’s a huge chunk.

If they cut 30k from their current ~182k headcount though, that puts them back at 152k, which is roughly their headcount in 2021. It’s not good, but given their slowing growth, not surprising.

Yes, but not every tradeoff between compression speed and compression ratio is something that makes sense to scale in the first place.
Idk which tracker you talk about, but the ones I know are difficult to read. Sure, you can learn to play a single note melody faster, but I doubt it'll work for complex pieces. At the very least, you'll need to constrain the format, if only to know which hand (or foot) should play which note. Trackers also lack notation for fingering, tempo, dynamics, etc. Piano rolls would be entirely a no-no. That would turn into a giant, unreadable staff.

I don't know what social gatekeeping there is for the current notation system. I know a teenager who learns the basics from Duolingo.

> what is the musical notation for a dotted quarter note delay?

Composers have been very free in adapting notation. They make up a few symbols and strokes, and explain them in the first pages of the score. They've made up notation for aleatoric music, free passages with some direction, knocking on the instrument, etc. If someone wants to prescribe a certain echo effect only on a particular note, that's doable.

The last point is just ridiculous. If you use the product for a few minutes it’s clear to see where value-adds exist such as scheduling, alerts, delegating, and having a real team to help with issues, etc.

> "That has provoked an interest in finding ways to get the benefits of calorie restriction without having to engage in it."

And since we're in the western world of medicine, the answer is of course, pills. Which is disappointing because the first question I would ask is do you need to calorie restrict constantly to get the same benefits?

If I restrict for three days a week, eat normally the other three, then add a relative "cheat" day between the two, am I possibly getting most of the same benefit anyways?

Anecdotally, I do eat this way, under the logic that our ancestors would have had similar calorie consumption patterns based around the "boom and bust" cycle of hunting, and since I've adjusted my diet I've been incredibly happy with what I perceive to be it's positive impacts on my weight and levels of energy.

Anyways.. I don't think our first instinct should be to go "off label" for an answer.

Capitalism assumes a company will always be growing. If you are stagnant or shrinking your company is "failing". If your company is growing, you either need to hire more people to produce more product (lest your competitor jump in and meet your customers needs), or your high performing team will get burnt out trying to do more and more. If your company is stagnant or shrinking, the high performers will have options to do something that has a better future or is more exciting.

The small high-performing team is a fleeting state that will eventually be infiltrated by the average performer. Ideally you recognize when this is happening, implement the required processes and push through it to come out the other side as a slightly less efficient team that still gets more done because there is enough personnel to make up for the efficiency loss.

I also agree this is the right way to use them.

It's an accessibility feature for people losing their voice or on the verge of. And it is TTS only, not speech-to-speech as your mention of "can use it in phone calls and facetime" implies. Not being s2s means it doesn't retain vocal disfluencies, prosody etc signals that make a voice feel real
Single-thread performance is only relevant for workloads that can't be parallelized, or for software that will never be adapted. It has been well known for more than a decade now that parallelization is the only way forward.

> doesn't exercising mean you have to consume more calories

You can't exercise off calories. The difference in burning rate vs consumption is far too high for most cases.. I always thought the exercise that helped age better, was largely that the diet remains constant..
That video screams CGI... that's why I said we need public and verifiable proof.
I had hopes for this video, but he didn't really go in-depth on the serious/successful reform projects.

We're all literate here. But very few of us can sight-sing. Attempts to teach musical literacy like reading literacy on a mass scale have failed.

Or have they? Some efforts have done much better than others. I looked into a guy called Lars Roverud, crediting with reforming church singing in Norway in the 19th century. His system was a simple one based on numbers, very similar to the Chinese one briefly touched on in Tantacrul's video. It worked really well.

Then there's the American shape note tradition. I'd say that's an impressive success: regular churchgoers, not just an especially talented choir, actually learn to sight-sing three and four-part harmony. They don't just learn the melodies by heart, they can actually flip to a new song and sing it. They rely on a partially symbolic system, and on harmonization conventions.

There are actually a lot of didactic music success stories, and what virtually all of them have in common is a symbolic system for pitch/harmony.

But what those systems also have in common, is that most of the benefit to literacy is gone a generation after someone says, "how great! now you should advance to real music notation!"
I am aware of this. But my daily questions these days revolve around TypeScript or something as silly as "what is the average weight of a cat".

Fashion is about doing something different. If everyone is wearing skimpier and skimpier clothes, it's natural that wearing conservative clothing will become the way to stand out. We should expect this to ebb and flow independent of our sex lives.

Almost everything is hands-on (everything apart from things you really can't do hands-on, like exploring black holes): I don't remember seeing someone come out of reading a book on programming and being a master programmer.

But video is not hands-on any more so than text: if it was, live concerts and sports games and other performances would not be such a big deal. Sure, video is richer in some signals (audio/video), but poorer in others (introspection, pacing and focus...).

That does not mean I can't read to understand a new topic or to be prepared to look for subtleties in a hands-on performance.

If anything, to a great student, they should be complementary, but still, each student will have one or the other contribute more to their learning, and that depends both on the teacher, but also on the student.
Graphs are neat. For your own notes or for heavily interconnected stuff. Like hypertext. The actual graph visualization is often just eye candy. Eye candy that makes nerd-hearts melt, but ultimately a list of related topics (and a single sentence describing that relationship) is much more powerful than seeing a word cloud or a complex graph.

If your topic is of the nature that there is (or should be) a logical starting point, graphs decrease the chance that interested people get presented information in the right order. If there is no logical starting point or there is no right order: good, so be it.

As someone who wants to like graphs: Graphs are great for organizing personal information, meaning they are great if you make the connections. However in practise graph-centric solutions are often solutions in search of a problem. And if you use graphs (anybody using hyperlinks to other hierarchical levels does) they shine most if they don't take the center stage, but are presented on purpose at specific spots.
One detail not covered as much in this article is that many options are now available to users and apps to control the push notifications they send and receive.

For example, on iOS, when prompted for notification permission, users are now asked to choose if they want the notifications sent to a summary view. iOS will also invite users to disable notifications from apps they haven't interacted with recently.

Here are a few of the options available for each operating system. Many of these were introduced within the last 1 to 3 years.

iOS & Android:

* Apps can choose to send notifications without sound/vibration. These are less disruptive and less likely to result in an uninstall or disabling of push.
* Apps can customize which sound is sent with the notification, if any. On Android, the vibration pattern can also be customized.
* Apps can choose to replace an old notification with a new one. This helps prevent multiple updates from crowding a user's notification center (e.g. Order received, Order Arriving, Order Delivered)
* Apps can send notifications at different priority levels. On iOS, apps can even send notifications that break through a user's focus mode settings (e.g. for emergency alerts), but this requires special permission.
* Apps can group multiple notifications for easier readability (e.g. chat messages from different contacts)
* Apps can set a visual badge on their application icon, indicating the presence of new content, with or without also sending a push notification.

iOS

* Apps can choose between sending a push notification or starting a Live Activity. Live Activities have more visual customization and can show real-time updates such as sports scores or the status of a food delivery order. Starting with iOS 17.2, released in Dec 2023, Live Activities can be started remotely, just like push notifications. Prior to 17.2, users had to open the app to start them.

Android

* Apps can implement Notification Channels, a way to categorize different types of notifications so that users can enable some but not others.
