So no tape saturation? That would be to me one of the most interesting bits of the tape sound, at least for musical applications.

My friends from the German CCC are mostly like (1) do not travel to the US and (2) if you absolutely must, travel with an empty device with decoy data and download all data you need once you're there.

To which analog gain would 0 dBFS be mapped?

by atoav 3mo ago
It means instead of building a street object, with car objects that have tire objects as its children and then running through the tree to rotate the wheels you just have an array pointing to exactly the appropriate data type to accomodate

Well yes, as a designer the thing people do not understand is that e.g. for a poster there is a limited bandwidth for messages you can get across. The "uncompromising" business guy may think he is uncompromising by putting all inf

Yes sure, but the point of something like ruff is that you don't even think about formatting anymore. It is just done for you and it is done consistently.

Well in my book it is a cost vs benefit question. Handrails are not expensive in comparison to a medical procedure, nor are they particularly hindering in the daily use of the stairs. In fact, quite the opposite: anybody who uses stairs wit

Sometimes people fall down the stairs in their own homes. That doesn't mean the government should mandate everybody to wear helmets at home does it? A measure needs to be in proportion to the actual risk it seeks to mitigate.

No we can't. Because my opinion is that a government should punish speech in certain cases, e.g. speech that is against the human dignity of other people or speech that is dangerous (e.g. yelling "Fire!" in a crowded theatr

Freedom of expression, as defined in the US, sure. But not everybody in the internet shares the definition. E.g. as a European my idea of freedom of speech is not limited to the things I am allowed to say, but also about whether spaces exis

Yes sure, given a sufficiently corrupt system nothing helps. Even being innocent and revealing everything won't help. But this stance amounts to giving up. Within the wiggle room a system gives us there are still ways to widen cracks o

Spot on. There is by the way a very interesting historic connection between suffragettes/early emancipation movements and the bicycle. Bicycles allowed women to move around more freely and was thus greatly empowering. Additionally wome

Deadmans-switch, nice. I always had a weird fascination for that kind of mechanism, because it inverts the whole situation. Where before you have to actively wipe a phone, now them taking your phone may be the mechanism that triggers the wi

Well. I thought so as well about LDAP. Until one day I had to interact with the kind of technology LDAP was built to replace...

Thanks for the kind compliment : ) I try to ask myself whether things I write are (1) writing and (2) reading before writing. Sometimes that works.

This is probably one of the biggest sins in technological teaching. Sure it is crucially important to take away the fear of a topic. But you don't do so by saying it is simple, you do so by showing it is simple. And it turns out so

LG is on my blacklist. That means I won't buy LG products and in my job actively fight against buying products from them. And they put themselves onto that lost with their behavior.

Well you know you will likely have an outlier. The question is when.

There has been a history of problems with that exact airframe where people died. People dying is usually considered bad. Now root cause of the issue that airframe had before was that Boeing was given the leeway to certify it themselves with

I would say, you install a lightweight Linux, boot directly into your favorite distraction free editor at full screen and sync the files back to phone and big computer via something like syncthing/Nextcloud/etc. As for which edito

Are they? I can easily dangle my Phone of my USB-C cable. Maybe this is a regional problem. Within the EU I rarely ever had any mechanical problem with USB-C, where applied reasonably.

You don't necessarily need to argue a lot of times. Often the much better way is to deploy the rhetoric equivalent of a Judo throw, by using the momentum of the other side and ever so gently redirect it to have them lose their footin

Not to be that guy, but the USB-C specification requires an extraction force of 8–20 N for a new connector, measured on the sixth unplugging cycle after five conditioning cycles. After 10,000 insertion/removal cycles, the permitted ran

It is easier to get an LLM to tell an unusual story using the most popular phrases than have it tell a common story using off-kilter uncommon phrases. The big arc is easy to get using an LLM, getting it to do the details correctly, that is

Huh? That is a really common term. There have been even memes about it. I remember roughly 5 years ago I first heard the ironic; "Real men use after free" in a discussion about Rust's benefits as its borrowing checker would h
