Well, dang. I've used a .tech as my personal domain and email for some years now, and didn't know this was owned by an obnoxious registry.

I have an NX Mini (which isn't exactly the same as the regular NX line) which has a "1 inch" sensor and a 3-lens interchangeable system. With the 9mm fixed lens it's as pocketable as a phone, but with a flip-out screen, a real flash and otherwise much better quality. With the 9-27mm zoom lens it's even a reasonable portrait camera. I haven't found one of the 17mm f/1.8 lenses, they're pretty rare.

Anyway, I really like that little thing. With a C-mount lens adapter I can use surveillance camera lenses which is pretty fun.

Yeah I'm not sure that the content negotiation would work very well if you're using a plain webserver or storage service to serve static content.

Isn't Delta-Sigma and PDM exactly how DSD works? In fact, I think Sony originally came up with DSD as an intermediate representation of PCM in one of their DACs and then Sony & Phillips got the harebrained idea to use it in SACD. That is to say, a simple DAC for DSD is just a capacitor functioning as a low-pass filter, without any other components.

I believe those are MCX. My Shure SE215 IEMs (earphones) use the same connector.

There's also a distinct commercial DAW based on Ardour called Harrison Mixbus.

There's a big old rules list[0], which I can never tell is satirical or not, that those road bike racers adhere to.

Well, it is based on Locust so there's at least some rhyme or reason to the name.

There's a long-standing convention of "golden age" meaning the first age, when an art came into its own. A "silver age" follows if there's a revolution in the art, often with some sort of decline between.

Google Groups performed the classic embrace-extend-extinguish maneuver against USENET, by way of their acquisition of DejaNews and then implementing their own forum/mailing list interface on top if it.

But, I wonder how many communities that are using Google Groups would be suitably served by falling back to USENET. I suppose it would require some updates to both NNTP server software to be easier to administer (if you want to go that route), and especially NNTP client readers to be more modern and user-friendly.

Portugal started to collapse, slowly, after the 1755 Lisbon earthquake and it's just been one setback after another since.

The federal EPA requires states to run emissions inspections in urban counties but leaves it up to the state for rural counties.

There's no federal requirement for safety inspections so that varies state to state.

I love containers but I've started to phase out using this extension and preferring Temporary Containers for most of my use cases.

Color film and photo paper is made with dyes that fade and shift over time. An inkjet print with pigments will last longer. Only monochrome silver metal film or paper will last indefinitely, and it's the gelatin layer that will last, some substrates including consumer-grade acetate film and most papers will degrade. The best archival format is silver on polyester film. Color can still be achieved by way of three exposures in RGB, similar to Technicolor.

Wait, there's bills for search warrants, like in Brazil (the movie)?

You can also create free aliases on a completely different domain, and I think they have a plugin with 1Password to do this for each login you create.
