Unborked link: https://simple.industries/notes/chesterton's-fence.html Looks like the single quote doesn't play nicely with the auto-linker.

That failure mode is not isolated to tech, and predates modern org structures too. See Chesterton’s Fence ( https://simple.industries/notes/chesterton's-fence.html) .

That's a good point to highlight: 20/20 is not perfect vision. It's simply a benchmark for "good enough" vision. IIRC there are physical limits around 0.4 arcmin. People with good eyesight sit somewhere between the

Take a look at the HDFury products. The X4 should do what you need with those lower resolutions.

Nothing to refute - I was simply continuing from your highlight of pixel densities. While PPI has stayed mostly static (which is a good engineering choice), plenty of other display parameters have improved: better contrast, faster response

There's no sudden switch. All perception is a little squishy and dependant on the individual. For most people though, once you're creating an image that's 220PPI and viewed from 400mm or so it's probably better to dedica

Forget 4K, 6K, or 8K. Pixel density is the spec when considering any display. It doesn't matter if it's a wearable, phone, laptop, monitor, TV, or stadium wrapping LED surface, the only important factors for resolution are the dis

It's physiological rather than philosophical. Auditory stimuli are sensed through your ear and tactile through the somatosensory system (in humans). There's some crossover in the frequencies both can detect. There's also some

It was first published in 1966, so seems probable. Thankfully prose and the core structure of language is slightly less volatile than the JS ecosystem.

Excellent, concise guidelines. To add to the 'see also' list, the Australian Government Style Manual ( https://www.stylemanual.gov.au ) is another great reference.

Nanosecond level sync is fairly achievable with Precision Time Protocol [1]. This is common in most media systems where small amount of drift will cause phase issues with audio. Not my area, but I believe it's seeing a few using in the

I picked up a pair of the 700 X's a couple of weeks ago - no complaints so far. The replaceable cable removes the only weak point in an otherwise completely repairable product. That lets me amortise any difference across a decade or so

Beyer also recently release the DT 700/900 Pro X are someone of a spiritual successor to the classics. Importantly they now feature a detachable cables, includes a USB-C one with internal DAC and mic.
