Actual noise with no coherent structure is enough for the brain to start imagining patterns - can confirm that having tried it myself, with white noise in my eyes and ears for half an hour, I ended up having dream-like hallucinations while

I find migraines like that to be quite fun (at least from the second time, after I spoke to a doctor and learned that there was no permenant damage). In my case I totally lose my short-term memory :D The weird thing is that after the migrai

Ish, and it depends on version -- like I created a RAID1 array for my gaming box when I was using windows 7 pro; then upgraded to windows 10 home thinking "I'm not using any of the pro features anyway"... turns out that RAID1

unixtime is an integer, it has no concept of some seconds being different to other seconds - leap seconds only matter when converting this integer into a "human readable" format :)

So I'm super-happy with influxdb for my time series storage; currently using collectd for input and grafana for output, because at the time influxdata only had a single product - since I've already got those set up, is there any p

AFAIK that's scaling the display, not scaling the applications?

Good to see we're starting to come close to getting dates and times handled according to the rules (I won't say sensibly, because the rules themselves aren't sensible). But then we start over-reaching and trying to handle soc

I'm sure there is - I'd like to know what the real problems are, because I'm pretty certain that "we don't have the technology to accurately measure 50m" can't be the whole story :)

The olympics cost ~$15 billion to host; an accurate range finding device costs a couple of hundred dollars. Heck, with a 3cm margin of error right now, even a $20 tape measure would be an improvement. I'm sure they can afford it :P

That analogy is ineffective because the HN header bar isn't the price that the provider has asked you to pay in exchange for the service. When I walk into a shop I am presented with a similar "here are some objects with prices, pl

If you think FB is bad as a blog, just try using it as a source code management system, it's really bad at that. And don't even get me started about the lack of ray-tracing support! Worst. 3D modelling app. EVER.

I wonder if this could be auto-calibrated, like prompt the user with "sit in a quiet place and say '1,2,3'" then brute-force the audio offsets to get the highest peak signal; and from then on you could have the mic focus

According to the bug report, kdbus was declared a failure and was half-removed - but systemd would still detect it and attempt to use it, and then things would fail because parts of kdbus were missing.

I'm just using standard python tools (pudb and pycharm depending if I'm running on a remote server or locally). Also being pure python makes it easier to stick instrumentation into the core library when I need it :)
