There have been studies and those resulted in the less annoying backup sounds. These sounds are essentially harsh white noise, which has one significant difference to the beeping: it's level drops off differently with distance, meani

Right. It is all about the time you put in. But one thing I like to stress is: You get to decide how to spend that time. Sure it is occasionally good to spend the time on "no fun" practise, especially if you feel your playing is l

The most important ingredient is time. Just make sure you do something regularly. At the beginning you may just care about making anything that works and measures up to stuff you like, but the truest truth is that you can't start get

I always thought it was the musical energy of Bertold Brechts "Die Dreigroschenoper" that lead Hitler to power. /s Just because two things are correlated in time, doesn't mean they are necessarily causally linked. Surely

Yes. And we should never forget that these ideas are just that: useful ideas. They may seem without alternative to most people, but that doesn't mean they necessarily are.

The deeper problem is that all these layers are still in use somewhere within Windows. Try to give your Ethernetcard a fixed IP Address for example. On your way to the correct setting (which has visually looked that way when I was still goi

Surely they just want to avoid straining their database so they put some "performance hacks" into their database instructions that they Ab/B-tested to "work" for 90 percent of people or something. Meanwhile they cou

The thing is Bob can use HammerAsAService™ to put in a nail. It is so cheap! Way cheaper than buying an actual hammer. The problem with unlearning generic tools and relying on ones you rent by big corporations is that it is unreliable in th

Yeah, I am a cyclist myself. The bicycle lanes in Tokyo were woefully inadequate, so many cyclists using the pedestrian areas is not really a big surprise. But what was a surprise (mirrored in one of your silbling comments) was the way in w

I have been in Tokyo a week ago and that they want to do "something" to affect the behavior of cyclists is absolutely unsurprising to me. Cyclists are definitely a problem in Tokyo. They ride like maniacs, always on sidewalks, e

I wrote my MA thesis in Markdown. The good thing about Markdown is that it forced you to just write and it had enough markup to be useful, but not so much thst you depend time procrastinating getting the output perfect (like LaTeX). Pando

Well I once watched an sysadmin with 430 years of experience swear his way through an installation process. Until I, back then a intern, pointed out that maybe reading the install instructions would have been a good idea, since there were s

I think this is more about the map. It is easier to remember that you have been at the crossing where that triangle street hits the half-circle road than to remember your position in an isomorphic grid, just like it is easier to know you st

Ah yes you choose Switzerland. The country that is famously so affordable to live in. Last time I have been there food has costed literally double than in my home country which is also in the Alps, also has that standard of living, etc. But

My thought as well. If you have a kid and one country offers free daycare and the other does not, you ought to also do the math on how much you would have to pay for that for example. Or lets say one country has dirt roads and no public wst

It does not matter. I'd rather live in a country I like to live in, based on culture, food, society, etc. than earn slightly more. Or phrased differently: what are you going to buy with the extra money that is gonna offset you living i

Also a bad analogy. A slize of pizza has no onboarding cost for the user. You eat it and that is it. A PDF editor requires you to understand how to use it. A better comparison would be a pizza shop at the end of a long hike that advertised

I have heard that story, but so far I have yet to see a broken USB-C plug. I have seen broken USB-C receptacles tho, levered off the PCB. But there are sturdy variants of those as well.

I said 10k because I think I saw a specialized product just for HDMI starting at roundabout that price bracket once mentioned in a youtube video, csn't really remember the brand, but it was relatively unknown in terms of test equipment

What if I run a website and OpenAI produces bot traffic? Do they also consider it abuse when they do it?

by atoav 7mo ago
Sure shielding is important, especially for high impedance signsls or very small signals (e.g. microphone cables). But the difference in shielding between a 10€ cable and a 100€ cable is not going to be audible in anything but edge cases. G

by atoav 7mo ago
Correct. But especially if you're using long cables a cable with more "headroom" in the eye diagram will perform more reliable than one that is just at the edge of breakup. For home use that doesn't matter usually, but I

by atoav 7mo ago
Well the thing is better doesn't mean better quality here. Better means you can use a longer cable or abuse the cable for longer till it dies. This is a big part of what makes any pro gear expensive: reliability. If you just connect

No. What I am saying is that it is hard to test the quality of a 8K 240Hz 4444 video cable without having a device that can send and receive this or even higher. If you send bits across a line fast enough you're grtting into the territ

One thing to realize is that especially for high resolution video cables these cheap testers can't really deliver. The way to test them is a eye diagram (see: https://incompliancemag.com/eye-diagram-part2/ ) and t

The worst connector IMO is the HDMI connector. I run the mediatec at an university and the amount of well-shielded cable I have to throw into the bin each semester because yet snother perdon levered off that plug is mindboggling. On top of

Normslly you'd expext that more (and cheaper) supply would drive down prices. Classic market logic. How do do you explain that this market logic ceases to exist for renewables only? A whopping ~2TW or ~35% of generated power in China i
