Would you consider a more hybrid approach? Embedded development gives you a bit of both worlds. Mostly in C/C++, but you write code that interacts with and directly controls hardware.

You really think hackaday is blogspam? The youtube poster likely posted the article at hackaday. Every embedded guy I know loves this site.

Impressive, considering there were only 3 confirmed US cases of covid-19 in January 2020. Assuming your not in the US?

Atlanta has oppressive humidity 5 months of the year. No thank you

I believe the theory behind this is that you don't want to associate your bed with not sleeping. If you body is not ready to sleep, don't bother trying. I got a similar suggestion after a spell of a week or two with 2 hours or less sleep a night. I was physically and mentally exhausted, but I could not sleep.

I've gone back and forth on using ddg. I realize whenever I am searching for technical assistance, bing results are really terrible. Because of this, I wind up !g every search. Lately, I have begun using https://www.startpage.com, which gives you a private, untracked google search every time.

It’s bing. You are using a reskin of bing search results.

Bone conduction headphones are kind of like the opposite of noise cancelling. I like them primarily for sport use. Whether trail running, MTB, or in the gym, bone conduction headphones do not block outside noise. So wearing them I am more aware of my environment, which is important if people are coming up behind me on a trail.

  > I'm quite curious if there is a group of like-minded individuals out there who would participate in a wiki that attempts to summarize (with degree of certainty) the current known knowledge.

Yes, it can be found at a http://wikipedia.org

> Politicians need something else, eg science and studies, in order to conduct politics and change/form laws and regulation

If only that were the case. When was the last time a popular politician gave any regard to scientific studies. In politics, it's all about 3 things. Money, money, and money.

  > I will briefly summarize the plot of Back to the Future II for you.

I am so okay with that one.

Don't forget record/tape/SD stores as well. We all know how the audio business turned out.

Nothing gets my dog moving like when the three year old grabs the food scoop and heads to the garage.

Are you posting this to start a flame war? Has nothing to do with the topic at hand.

The whole "hackernews desperately up-voting any post that cast's negative light on the investment opportunity that they missed" shtick is getting old. We get it, a lot of you knew about bitcoin in 2011 and did not buy in. Now, you are seeing it rise (and fall) over and over and are frustrated that you did not buy a couple hundred dollars worth of bitcoin 8 years ago.

Once upon a time I hosted a very small phpBB with a couple hundred members and a few posts a day. We had domain specific questions for our captcha, and they cycled between 3-4 different questions. Within a month, the bots had been programmed to answer all the questions on our registration. Being obscure and domain specific did not help.

Falling now, and, what do you know, coinbase is down.

Ahh, back when games had cheat codes... nowadays, you’d have to pay $1.99 to unlock the extra difficulties and lives.

This is similair to one of my favorite features of RSS reader https://newsblur.com/. Your (free) account gives you an email address that can be used to register for newsletters. Then, when they come in, its presented exactly like the RSS feed. And if a particular newsletter gets a little too noisy, you can remove it forever without hunting down the unsubscribe button.

Unfortunately people are going to focus on the explosive ending. But the high altitude test went well.

If you live where it’s legal, a micro dose of THC has done wonders for my Insomnia. For me, my insomnia manifests with a difficulty in falling asleep. Completely sleepless nights are not uncommon. 2-4 hours of waiting to fall asleep was the norm. 2-5mg edible thc about 2 hours before bed and 0.5 mg melatonin 20 minutes before bedtime and I am able to quiet the mind and drift off to sleep on about 20 minutes. Keeping the dose low means you don’t get high, (but you still might get some munchies and enjoy some music a bit more than being completely sober) and also means there is no morning hangover.

I don't know, I'm not hearing the warmth of a tube amp. Sounds like other solid state emulator amps.

I wish more work was happening in this sphere. I know I would easily pay $50k+ for even a 50/50 chance to cure my tinnitus. Its a horrible feeling to never be able to quiet your mind.

In the last few months, me and my family have taken advantage of both Libby, for primarily audiobooks, and Hoopla, for children's books. Both were available through my library. To increase my ability to get books, I even registered for library accounts in several metropolitan districts near my house, and Libby is happy to accommodate, letting me place holds across multiple library systems.

Before I never really liked reading childrens books on my Ipad, but with cool features like read along, me and the kids have been enjoying 1-2 rentals a night.

Not in any country I tried on my VPN. Gave up after 6 tries

So, of those sites, I had only heard of dailymotion. The others I had never visited before, so they will have no history on me, and will get clean recommendations. Upon going to each one, here's what I got:

lbry.tv - Shows 6 videos on the front page above the fold. 3 are appear to be strongly political, and 1 is pushing a far right conspiracy. NEXT.

bitchute.com - Front page appears to be entirely far right propaganda and conspiracy theories. Lots of race baiting. NEXT

diive.tv - Front page appears to indicate this is a streaming site ala twitch.tv. Mostly game videos on front page, along with 3 race riot videos. Due to titles about "no-go zones", I assume they are all going to be far right propaganda.

bittube.tv - Half of the videos on the front page are not in English. Not a bad thing, but surprising to me. The rest of the videos seem to be focusing on bitcoin scams, bill gates vaccines, and videos calling the corona-virus a left wing conspiracy.

Based on what I have seen, I now assume most of these sites are for people banned from Youtube for spouting far-right propaganda. Would not recommend any of them, and will likely not be back.
