If you currently program micro controllers, I bet you’ll like this. Really checks all the boxes for why you’ll be interested, how it works, what the landscape is, and advice for getting started/contributing. Doesn’t feel like a pitch, unlike similar talks. Rather, it seems like an actual cool opportunity! Makes me want to start learning verilog.

Low frequencies carry an awful lot of energy and you will get maximum dynamic range out of a mic by close-micing but HPF'ing off the lows early in the chain. Many condensers have little preamps inside them, and the HPF may be placed before this pre giving it effectively a lot more headroom.

Can someone help me understand the value of hashing? If you’re using modulus to bucket, why not just use the string length or something? Is it because the values will distribute across buckets more uniformly?

Thank you for this! I was going to sign my parents up. They live closer to Boise.

Harvard is pretty close to Boston, is the best I could think of.

Would love to see the debate where it convinced 9 people. Only video included in the post is the one where it lost. They really did their best to hype this up. Describing it as “historic” and telling people to clap made me cringe. From my perspective, its strengths were in presenting testimonies. It fell flat when making a joke and when attempting emotional appeals.

You know what’s more toxic than toxic positivity? Diagnosing your coworkers with a writer invented, empathy devoid term because they annoy you. Is this opinion piece helpful?

I live in inner southeast Portland. There were helicopters flying above my place many nights during the protests. Unsure how low they were flying given how really loud they were.

+100! So good, it’s crazy! PR is propaganda rebranded.

An alternative would be keeping theme state in JS as suggested at the end of the article which improves the cache-ability of the css file as themes change.

I mostly feel bad for the node.js developer, James Halliday, who goes by substack. Seeing this article (ad?) and their recruiting ads on HN reminds me of his tweets:

Unsure of the validity to those claims. But it did seem like they capitalized on the familiarity of his username to gain traction early on.

Looks like the hoards of small businesses didn’t see the ad. All the posts tagged with #SpeakUpForSmall, I found, were written by FB, unrelated, or showing support Apple.

I know the main reason “no fan” speaks to me is because I choose when the keyboard is noisy and have no power over the fan. I generally find the clicking of the keyboard to be pleasant while the fan is obnoxious.
