As an audio engineer, this suggestion makes my skin crawl.

Don’t apply any extra compression to your files this, it will ruin them.

Modern audio streaming services and good audio players use loudness normalization to achieve consistent playback loudness. The way they do this is by measuring the integrated loudness of each song and increasing or, in most cases, reducing the playback gain of the song to an arbitrary target (e.g. Spotify has chosen -14LUFS which is pretty quiet when you consider most pop music is mastered to somewhere between -10LUFS and -3LUFS).

OP should just find a better audio player or figure out how to enable loudness normalization.

Looking up the terms “jus soli” and “jus sanguinis” might be of interest to you. Basically it’s different for different countries.

This is surely a “I have no food, it’s midnight, shops are shut and I haven’t eaten since breakfast” discovery.

Haven’t done it in ages but I used to run xquartz on a macbook and do x window forwarding from my desktop. It worked surprisingly well, even on remote sessions via an ssh tunnel.

I don’t have much reason to do it nowadays because laptops are so much more powerful and storage is so cheap that the stuff I was doing can all be done locally.

Salad obviously

That’s awesome!

Whoa I’m a stickler for getting as much as I can out but even I have .zshenv and some other too hard to figure out things in there. How’d you manage a total wipeout?

What’s your reasoning for this?

Anything better than using a vlan to separate these types of devices from the rest of the network?

I was going to say I had the polar opposite experience until your last paragraph.

Lecturers were very rarely excited about the material they taught, left as soon as they could and were far more concerned with their research than helping students.

That was EE so probably a mix of weed-out and the fact that they were all socially awkward mega nerds.

Yep that’s the theory but the recent paper is this one. This is the youtube video I watched.

Super interesting! I watched an explainer last night about a theory that consciousness arises from space-time collapse quantum wave functions in microtubules.

The vast majority went straight over my head but the host stated that the theory was seen as completely insane by their peers and just recently it’s gaining credibility because of some new research in the past few weeks.

Any thoughts on this?

Cmd = super (Windows key on most keyboards)

Option = alt

No they ditched OSX and yearly point updates in 2020 and went from Mac OSX 10.15.7 to MacOS 11.0

The next yearly release was MacOS 12.

It’s now up to 14.2.1
