These are just using the 'play' command, the aliases are just so I don't have to remember the arguments.

Play is a standard package from your package manager

I keep this in my .bashrc

alias brownnoise='play -n synth brownnoise synth pinknoise mix synth sine amod 0.3 10'

It sounds like waves gently coming ashore.

I'm sure I collected it somewhere here on HN, because I don't know anything about how the command works.

Edit: I have these, too, and I like them all:

alias whitenoise='play -q -c 2 -n synth brownnoise band -n 1600 1500 tremolo .1 30'

alias pinknoise='play -t sl -r48000 -c2 -n synth -1 pinknoise .1 80'

I found a service, on amazon of all places, to do a film-to-digital conversion. I thought it was worth the money, and they sent back the original media and all that. In better shape than I sent it, actually--I was charged 3 bucks for a repair to a VHS tape, which was transferred flawlessly.

Fair. I'm not a fan of any of the chain wings.

Our recipe is simple: decent sized wings, deep fried naked, sauced and served. Good sauces matter, of course.

Given how easy that is, it's amazing to me that almost nobody else has good wings (at least around here). I'm not sure what they're doing differently.

Went as a kid, it was badass.

What makes the wings so good?

(My business is known for its chicken wings as well, just comparing notes!)

Would it be common for a local government within a country to confirm to the law of another country?

Is there a compelling reason besides being friendly? Like treaties or something?

Does this mean you've internalized it?

I think that generally is a characteristic of something who's mastered something.

It does make sense, but I don't think it's strictly true. You can understand something without making it second nature.

Commenting here is the only time I get to engage in chit chat about tech with anyone. I don't have any tech-interested peers in the real world.

It's my slightly-more-intellectual social outlet, with a topic trend I'm very interested in.

I think I would have put the quotes around "learn."

I don't think every high school student can master advanced trig.

.22 rimfire has roughly 20-35% of the energy of 9mm, even at the muzzle.

I don't even know the terminal ballistics, got to be even worse.

Rimfire is also less reliable, although not nearly as unreliable as some people act like.

I wouldn't want to bet my life on it, but I would definitely consider it a viable choice in a scenario where a person is murdering unarmed civilians.

I've not had one for a long time. My business has one, that's usually enough for me.

But I've recently been thinking about getting one. I want to print templates for doing woodworking & similar in the shop.

I have not checked out a physical book in several years, but I use my library card to rent digital media (primarily audiobooks) all the time.

In many places in the US, anyone can get a card to a library.

So, if everyone had that knowledge, it actually would mean the entire world.

In the county I have my card with, they give a card number over the internet without any kind of address validation, so anyone willing to lie about their address can get a card there. I'm sure that's true for countless counties.

"Pint" varies in the US as well, when ordering a beer. You're just gonna get whatever glass they have.

They'll probably tell you if they know it's not a true pint, but I expect most bartenders have no idea.

I think:

If a coffee shop opens at 5am, they say that. They never say 29.

If a bar stays open UNTIL 5am, they say 29.

Thanks for taking a minute to do this, it gives a nice side-by-side for a real-world example. What a great improvement.

I don't have an answer to your question, but how do you feel about traditional libraries sharing your work for free?

Why not use on-site communication contests to hire employees?

Thank God somebody is making these. Imagine if we had to wait almost twice as long!

And has been for two decades. I was just a high-school kid with a website in ~2001 and I knew plaintext was bad even then.

I did it anyway, but it was just some homebrew blog I built.

I like this answer.

How do you define intellectual maturity?

If your comment were code, I think it's an example of a)

I have an HP gaming laptop. Zero issues running ubuntu. Detects my SD card reader and everything.

Some of them do, and then we end up with social media that doesn't take 15 seconds to load.

This site, for instance.

They have reports going back to June. It'll almost certainly solve the case if it's one individual.

Wow.

Hi. I'm 39.

I feel the same way. Whenever I plan for activities, I plan to do them alone. Even my equipment reflects that. I bought a kayak instead of a boat. I took the foot pegs off my motorcycle, which I ride alone. I'm thinking of building a small cabin to live in. I go on poker trips alone. I moved to Costa Rica alone. I did remote work with no pairing.

I don't feel too lonely, but I do occasionally. It comes in waves. Don't get me wrong, though, I get out to a lot of events. I spend the majority of my days totally alone with my dog, but I spend many days around lots of people (I own a homestead, and a bar--two wildly different atmospheres).

That keeps me...whatever. Sane, okay, socially fulfilled.

People like me, I could be more social. But this is my level, I don't know. If I add to it, my life feels worse.

I do want to say that I really enjoy my life. It's not normal in many ways, but I'm actually quite happy. But it wasn't always. I've been very lonely in the past, living in this same place. I think a big realization was realizing that this is normal. This is the human experience. Loneliness is part of our programming. We're intended to live together. Those of us who choose to go alone are going to have to battle emotions and situations like this. And it's okay. I usually acknowledge it and then go do whatever the fuck I want to do, because I don't have anyone to answer to. And because I chose it, and continue to choose it.

My advice is to embrace it, and be your own best friend. Or abandon it, and go find your people.

In theory, someone could exploit a 0-day and write this software for you.

So, I recant my position that it will never happen. It could happen if you found a really talented developer who was naive enough to do it, or a nihilist or something.
