Traditionally, yes. Hollow air core fibre does exist and seems to be touted as the next big thing though. https://www.optcore.net/hollow-core-fiber-introduction/#h-wh...

I'm not sure I get it. Why isn't the status board just part of the app itself - why does it need to be accessed via browser?

In both of your example images with young men, it's added stubble where there was none. It's also removed moles from Einstein's face. This doesn't seem to be very accurate!

I have no idea what you mean here. Exotic containers? I'm talking about something like a measuring cylinder or a straight-sided glass or mug. This StackOverflow answer probably does the subject more justice than I can: https:/&#x

As another commenter posted above, this seems to be known as 'sudden brief unilateral tapering tinnitus'. It seems fairly normal. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/21970850/

Not necessarily because of the band members, but yeah, you want to cover up the noise of people chattering away in the back. Music can also sound better when it's louder, up to a certain point - if you're recording and mixing a pi

Aether noise is a great name for it. Just really quiet broad-spectrum noise. I remember reading a long time ago that it was caused by "the neurons in your ears occasionally randomly firing" but I cannot find any source for that, s

Neat article, but I feel like I have no idea why they're doing this! Is transcribing code from images really such a big use case?

...as long as the container has straight sides. The area of the opening needs to be the same as the area of the container all the way down, otherwise the two areas don't cancel out.

Yes, exactly, this is well known. So the parent post seems incorrect.

Hm. I used Git on WSL1 for many years, with medium sized repos hosted on a Windows drive, and it worked great. When I moved to WSL2 Git became a whole lot slower - it now takes about 5-8 secs to execute 'git status' where before i

Oh, nice, the state of the art has advanced since I last read about hub gears, which was ... oh dear, about twenty years ago? No wonder things have improved :)

You've not come across hub gears on bikes before, have you? They were pretty much the standard before derailleur gears became popular, and modern ones can have up to 7 speeds.

It's an interesting idea. When talking about triggering over a certain threshold before the clutch is engaged, I'm guessing you mean detecting the hand throttle being let go particularly quickly after a downshift blip? I don'

In the UK, British standard cycle brakes also have the front brake on the right. I think bike brakes being swapped is only a continental Europe thing.

Don't know about general consensus, but I'm a big fan. I've had an emergency stop (deer ran out into the road) on a bike not equipped with it, and turns out that in an emergency I will just jam on the brakes and lock the wh

Indeed. 'beach' and 'wave' are definitely not synonyms, and while a shelf is a platform, not all platforms are shelves. Too many of these are essentially really forced puns. But there are some absolute crackers in there

I like the idea of just having a GoPro running as a habit, but do you find that you collectively change your behaviour, knowing that you're being observed? At least on a GoPro, you can apparently turn off the blinking red 'recordi

Oh, that's a nice approximation! Similar to Grace Hopper's famous demo of a six inch wire being about how far electrical signals travel in a nanosecond.

Interesting. Feels like this might still have some noticeable tens-of-millisends latency on Windows, where the default audio drivers still have high latency. The browser may intend to play the sound at time t , but when it calls Windows&#x

Actually, kind of the opposite. A few years ago Backblaze posted that the economics of their solution relied on the average customer having less than 1.2TB of data. They explicitly do not support Linux users because they tend to average a l

It's an interesting article, but the title ('we found fraud!') doesn't quite match the article, which continually points out that there are suspicious patterns in the data but that they aren't ironclad evidence of f

If you had a little silkscreened circle around each parameter's LED, and a Hall effect sensor underneath, you could even make a passive magnetic knob that you could use to adjust parameters by simply placing it on top of them and twist

In practice, when latency is small enough (on the ~1ms level, which is trivial to achieve using even pretty cheap parts) it's imperceptible. I sometimes develop control loops for prototype systems which use a motor to emulate a combina

Huh, I didn't know single pair ethernet went up that fast - neat! We're still living in the 100Mbit world at my company - and, yeah, it's fast enough for pretty much everything we need.
