Hi all!!

I recently finished building "chamber, an audio library built for video editors. As a video editor on the side, I find compiling audios the most unnecessarily tedious task throughout the entire process of editing content, especially if I am not given the audios before hand, since I have to visit web apps online to streamline important tasks, such as downloading, conversion, and trimming clips, or use ffmpeg to streamline these tasks (which I find annoying to use directly). The goal of this project is to compartmentalize a lot of these features into one interface, which makes the audio compilation process much easier and more efficient!

Some of the features that chamber supports are:

Audio playback and playlist creation

Batch downloads from YouTube; downloads are multithreaded so batch downloads are as fast as the time to download the largest audio file!

Audio transcoding for mp3, ogg, opus, m4a, and m4b

Clipping audios from a waveform

Some of the things I used to build this project:

Tauri + SolidJS

Embedded yt-dlp and ffmpeg binaries to handle the heavy lifting with download + transcode

Wavesurfer to render the wave form and regions for clipping

Chamber is also supported on Linux, macOS, and Windows operating systems, and can be installed given the installers, or from source

The project is located in this repo. Would be happy to answer any questions, and would absolutely appreciate any criticisms!
Isotopes and atmosphere libraries can confirm the sources along with recent satellites that can map CO2 emmissions in real time .. all this goes to confirm the theory of scratched on an envelope a hundred years+ past and laid out in a paper with physics and equations and all that jazz back in '67

“Thermal Equilibrium of the Atmosphere with a Given Distribution of Relative Humidity” - Manabe & Wetherald

Not hard to find and not a bad read for those that passed high school physics and had exposure to first year university STEM coursework.

The basic notion is, well, basic - the more blankets you throw on the bed, the more heat stays trapped.

The blanket in this case is CO2 which is "transparent" to incoming light from the sun but not so transparent to heat energy radiating outwards from the land and sea surface.

The properties here are easy to demonstrate, the increase are documented, the effects followed.
Maybe people who have only ever used ORMs are happy with them, because they don't know how much more flexible and faster "raw" SQL queries can be?
Actually, quick search leads to [0] (not very reliable, but still better than nothing) shows that Chrome and derivatives take 72%.

As other commenters mention, Safari is mostly locked to the Apple ecosystem, so IMO Chrome on non-Apple systems is around 90%. Firefox is metered to 3% which is lower than reality (due to adblocking).

My personal experience is, however, very similar to IE golden age. In order to interact with state office web apps I need to switch to Chromium. Neither Firefox nor Safari are supported. Vivaldi is a mixed bag (not sure why though). For me this answer questions is Chrome the new IE.

They don't save because they don't need to since there's always a job available as hiring is so easy. In Europe we need to save in case we want to quit, since then we lose all rights and protections and need to wait months before finding a new job.
Not your fault. Unless you bullied him... but based on this post I doubt that.
But u/imjonse's reasoning seems right. I haven't run either version of the code, but when reading it I expected that to be False. The output is still a list with an order.

"Because I can" remains an entirely legitimate reason for a hobby project.

If anything, you've gone further along the "also (at least sort of) practical" scale than I expected.

Given as mentioned elsewhere a per-request arena + bump allocator system, it might actually be -genuinely- practical (to the extent that writing application logic in C is at all ;)

Bravo.

Typically when a sitting leader of a country gets shot it's not by their own accord.
Given that they control about 10 per cent of the entire land mass, it would be strange if they didn't have a lot of natural resources.

But having a lot of natural resources is often described as an economic curse: it motivates the country to embrace extractive practices and build extractive institutions, where human lives don't matter and innovation is superfluous. The main avenue to riches and power is control of a mine... by any, often brutal, means.

Looking at Russia, it very much didn't escape that curse. A shocking proportion of highly educated Russian professionals lives abroad.

I would bet that when it comes to sophisticated products with high added value, the Russian diaspora produces more of them than the Russians who are still present in Russia. Perhaps even the Russian diaspora in the Silicon Valley alone does so.
Great question. To be honest, I like them both, but the 16" has less reflection so if that's important for you, go with that. I think there is an even better screen option now than the one I have. But I don't think I will upgrade to that since I am happy with the ones I currently have.
But you realize Edge is just Chrome with a different interface right?

Wayland has its issues to be sure, but the X Window System was no longer suitable for modern systems; the justification for replacing it was quite sound.

GNOME I'll heartily agree on. But I've never liked GNOME myself (v1 seemed OK though) and have always criticized that project. I've always been a KDE fan, though admittedly they've had some similar problems and have handled some major changes rather poorly (esp. 4.0). Really, the desktop environments are one place where FOSS hasn't really done that well, frequently re-inventing the wheel for questionable reasons, or adopting questionable new design philosophies. At least there's a fair amount of competition in the space, so if one project rubs you the wrong way, you can try another; this proliferation of competitors also shows just how much disagreement there is in the community on this particular matter.

I really don't know enough about the audio stack changes; I can only guess that they found big problems with older solutions there which required major architectural changes, esp. for certain high-performance applications.

IPv6 anyone? People must start to understand that "Because this is the way it is" is a valid, actually extremely valid, answer to any question like "Why don't we just switch technology A with technology B?"

Despite all the shortcomings of the old technology, and the advantages of the new one, inertia _is_ a factor, and you must accept that most users will simply even refuse to acknowledge the problem you want to describe.

For you your solution to get any traction, it must deliver value right now, in the current ecosystem. Otherwise, it's doomed to fail by being ignored over and over.
I would say that "narrow" mathematics (finding a proof of a given statement that we suspect has a proof using a formal language) is much easier that "generally" laying brick or cutting hair.

But I cannot see how consistently doing general mathematics (as in finding interesting and useful statements to proof, and then finding the proofs) is easier than consistently cutting hair/driving a car.

We might get LLM level mathematics, but not Human level mathematics, in the same way that we can get LLM level films (something like Avengers, or the final season of GoT), but we are not going to get Human level films.

I suspect that there are no general level mathematics without the geometric experience of humans, so for general level mathematics one has to go through perceptions and interactions with reality first. In that case, general mathematics is one level over "laying bricks or cutting hair", so more complex. And the paradox is only a paradox for superficial reasoning.
Thanks for the feedback! my justification for the pricing, are backed by the fact that once you purchase a package, you get lifetime access to the problems database, which updates in real time. specifically, we have a cron job that mines data every hour for 24h, which is free but (at least for now), but LLM processing isn’t, so the justification is that u get continuous value after u made one purchase, and your credits are only used for generating reports. u can always add more credits as needed. I’m curious though, does this make sense to you? If not, what price point would feel fair or approachable for testing it out?
Not sure why youre being a contrarian. It seems like you didnt bother to understand my post. But yah, start work at 8-9, knock off at 6 to start drinking heavily at the local izakaya, hammered by 8 or 9 and stumbling towards the snack until last train (or later if the company pays for cabs).

Maybe you want people to be able to reach you on a secondary, inbound-only phone number.

I’ve also heard people re-purpose old phones (with their batteries disconnected, hopefully) as tiny home servers or informational displays.

Unfortunate but extremely predictable. The commercial market for CAD cares about CAD that actually works, not free software ideals. FreeCAD is simply not in the same league as commercial CAD like Solidworks, NX, Creo, etc. IMO it's not even in the same league as SolveSpace, at least last time I used it (which was admittedly some years ago).
Looks like trampolines inside Y combinator. Interesting approach. Still of course with its own costs. I think some of the Scheme in JS implementation(s?) use trampolines as well, or at least considered doing that.
Not a phone, but at my old apartment I used to have an iPad mounted on the wall. It was a dynamic weather display, Ring doorbell answerer, multimedia control, etc. Would suck if every 3 days I had to enter my passcode again.
it is long, tedious, and the absolute most interesting part of it all.

These are two totally different statements. I'd believe you if you say it was generated this way, but no, I don't "believe in it".
There's more to it than that alone, if you run psExplorer you'll find there's Edge the browser and Edge the subterranean process that's hooked into desktop search and general user activity while constantly engaged in telemetry.

Sure, these are "just Chrome" components and libraries .. but they're engaged in more than simple web page rendering.

NB: I'm not engaging in Edge is Evil conspiracy here and there are "reasons" for what's going on there that some may or may not accept. Just pointing out the additional below the surface integration.

I dunno, there seems to be a logical issue here. You've told me that water systems aren't managed at the federal level, and I take you at face value.

So if, as toomuchtodo points out, Republicans are having to sue the EPA to stop them from managing water systems it is clear that the EPA is overstepping their mandate.

If they do in fact have a mandate to manage water systems and the Republicans aren't simply and obviously in the correct moral and legal position here, then this idea that they don't have a mandate must be discarded and they are in fact managing water systems at the federal level.

As can be seen from my earlier posts, I agree with the Republican lawyers & what appears to be your position - the EPA shouldn't be managing water systems. Leave it to the state & local authorities, the results will be better overall. If they are alarmed over something they can report it all they like, but they shouldn't be the ones to try and fix it.

> If an employee, for example, decides to put in notice and then half-ass their job until their departure date,

Suppose you are fired, and the company decides unilaterally to halve your salary during the notice period, wouldn't you get nasty about it?

> if you are a contract worker, it is literally illegal for you to quit prior to your contract expiry date

As long as it is illegal for the company to fire you as well, I don't see any problem. Why should a party of a contract be free to breach it at will while the other remains constrained?

Stop linking medical insurance to employment via this tax bigotry. Buy it on the open market instead, or subsidize it if you're a leftist, but don't put that burden on jobs, you'll only get fewer jobs with greater hassle. People can agree to the arrangements they prefer, and it's not for us to second guess that. If there are people who end up coming up short, then you can help them yourself, or force the whole society to chip in (again, if you're a leftist), but don't force such considerations on the fragile links among private individuals and businesses.

Im not disputing the fact that nomikai exists. Ive been to my share. I was simply agreeing with the OP that it is more likely that most Japanese people arent working insane amounts of overtime and black companies arent in the majority. I provided a personal anecdote to reinforce that.

Most people are more than likely getting off at regular hours and going home or out for dinner and drinks (whether you consider that work or not -- they arent being paid). Otherwise the bars and trains wouldnt be packed full of people at 6pm and happy hour wouldnt exist.
Desktop managers have never decided if they want to copy Windows or MacOS, both of which are terrible GUIs that we're now stuck with, using paradigms from 1983/1984
your argument has an invalid premise: "Models say X is happening."
It's not the models that are saying X (temp goes up) is happening, it's empirical data.

A better argument is:

- We observe X is happening

- create a model of X happening

- use model of X to predict X in the future

- model of X might be or might not be flawed

- meanwhile, X is still happening in the real world
The dislike towards the cardassians isn't a bajoran only thing.

Garak is an interesting and beloved character in the series because he is complex, problematic and express it with a convincing sophistication. The gay innuendos help too. He does nasty, deceitful things. He starts a war because it's too grim and disgusting for his close neighbours to go through with it, and it's expected to possibly help fend off a godlike existential threat to the entire quarter of the galaxy.

He's a monster in a suit, a Franz Stangl. I think it's a very, very weird character to associate a corporation with.
You replied on global human behavior change. I just added a piece of puzzle that shows, how implying global human behavior changes are driven by lobby.

> "Bandai Namco reportedly tries to bore staff into quitting, skirting Japan’s labor laws"

> Canceling some game projects and shuttering existing ones has helped, but facing the need for further adjustments, Bandai Namco has reportedly turned to the unspoken Japanese tradition of layoff-by-boredom by stuffing unwanted employees into oidashi beya, or "expulsion rooms."

> Do a quick online search for oidashi beya and you'll see plenty of websites explaining the practice, or otherwise discussing how difficult it is to fire people in Japan thanks to strong labor protections. It's not a new practice, either: For those that haven't been reading the Reg for the past 11 years, we even wrote about it way back in 2013 as a wave of the practice swept through Japan and hit tech workers at companies reportedly including Panasonic, Sony and other firms.
We're doing much more work now with RTK devices in our application and this was recently an issue for us.

A customer had been complaining that the RTK devices we were supporting were not working correctly and I got sent out there to have a look. After some back on forth and getting tests done on site, they revealed they often didn't get good fixes with any equipment between late morning and late afternoon, and that's how I found out about ionospheric interference and the the correction service's ionospheric warning page which consistently reported high interference around these times

I don't recall seeing examples in the US of directly preventing someone from resigning. But I have read about situations where companies make it harder to get the next job, essentially forcing someone to stay in a bad work situation. For example, non-competes for service jobs (fast-food, hairdressers, etc.)
On a session basis browser caches are effective but on a session to session basis it’s likely the content will get evicted as resources from other sites gets cached - there’s an oldish Facebook study where they placed an image in the cache and after 12hrs it had been evicted for 50% of visitors

Service Workers offer more controls over cache lifetime, and in Chromium (at least) JS gets stored in an intermediate form (which reduces the re-compile overhead on reuse)
I don't understand, what really constitutes a "won't let me quit" scenario? If I hand in my resignation, I don't really care whether my employer rips it or not. I consider my contract terminated because it's a contract that can be terminated by either party to the contract. If I have a notice period, I'll work that period, then stop showing up. If they want to consider the contract as still valid, they can. And then they'd have to pay me, but I don't see why they would if I'm not turning up to work? There must be something in the above reasoning that isn't correct?
Maybe they’ll finally release a good studio display
The same principle is used with loudspeakers to create beamforming arrays, albeit at sonic frequencies.

Beamforming speakers in acoustic applications are quite useful and often found in protected monuments or churches since it allows you to "aim" the acoustic energy mainly at the audience and to a lesser degree onto reverberating surfaces which you may not be willing (or allowed) to change by adding acoustic treatment. Nowadays these arrays are also often used at bigger (e.g. outdoor) stages to avoid shooting into the (complaining) neighbourhood.

An interesting side note is also that the principle also works in reverse for the receiving side, so you can have array microphones that can steer the beam of their "focus", either as a column or as a 2D-array that is ceiling mount (like the Sennheiser TCC2). All these arrays show there limits as frequencies go lower tho, so that is something to check for.

>And if you don't want to integrate into the culture, why are you there in the first place?

A lot of immigrants leave their home countries not because they love the culture of their new country, but because they found living in their old country unbearable for some reason. Or just for economic reasons.

Not everyone actually wants to integrate into a new culture; many don't. Just look at how many people in the US don't speak English, even though that's obviously the dominant culture.
