Wasn't there a recent discussion here, where it was pointed out that leap seconds are about to be phased out in less than 10 years' time? I would be extremely surprised if a negative leap second was implemented before then, given that IERS already balked at doing that several years ago.

Anything can happen of course, but my actuarial life expectancy is at least 30 years from now. I am 95% certain that my safe deposit box in my bank (where my info is currently stored) will still exist then. What are the odds of this site surviving that long?

It is not a disaster. It is a part of carefully orchestrated attack on Western democracies by enemy states.

0db is usually defined as the loudest sound that the audio system can produce. Hence, everything else must be negative.

Same here. I work with a lot of startups, some of them very prominent and none of them are listed.

I was watching the video the other day, and my jaw dropped. Wenting is a display-technology beast. Watch his other videos too; he seems to be able to squeeze every last bit of possible performance out of every kind of display, and then some.

This story falls in the completely false camp. What restaurant can afford an entire reservations team? Why did they feel the need to do anything regarding reservations if they were always fully booked? It's just AI hallucinated slop.

That is an utterly meaningless statistic. Canada, with four times the population, ranks #233, because most of the country is uninhabited / uninhabitable.

Neat, but this feels to me like buying a single-use kitchen gadget. Yes, the console does not have everything neatly together like this, but it can manage everything across all AWS services.

Having to deal with a separate (electron) app for every AWS service would be a nightmare.

We used landlines of course, and it was an utter pain in the behind.

There was no way of letting anyone know that you were running late once they were already underway to pick you up.

Please leave the fat shaming for Reddit. And if you are going to do it anyway, at least make sure your facts are correct. Lots of thin people suffer form sleep apnea.

CPAP reduces my AHI from 55-60 down to less than 0.5. For people with severe sleep apnea, an 'improvement' of 4 events per hour does absolutely nothing for their health and provides a false sense of security. Their time, money, and energy is much better spent learning how to adapt to CPAP.

Yes! It is a shame that this kind of nonsense gets upvoted. Pure snake oil.

Call me cynical, but pretty much 100% if the time when there is an article about "teen accomplishes almost impossible scientific feat" or "group of teens design world-saving product costing pennies", it turns out to be a disingenuous narrative pushed by some adult with an ulterior motive and often deep pockets.

The complete lack of details in the article does not do anything for its credibility.

Another allrounder and close cousin in time and but with much more functionality is the 4046 CMOS Phase Locked Loop.

It can be configured as a versatile oscillator like the 555, but it can also implement an FM modulator / demodulator, a FSK modem, a tone discriminator, a clock multiplier, a phase detector, a voltage to frequency and frequency to voltage converter a speed control loop and much more.

Not bad for a $1 chip. My circuits professor always carried a bunch in his lab coat pocket and handed them out like candy almost everyone anyone needed a circuit to do something to do with oscillation.

I used to think that working from home was the best thing since sliced bread, when I got to stop going to the office due to COVID.

But during the five years that I worked from home, I suffered a precipitous decline in overall health. It is too easy to stumble out of bed minutes before work starts, spend the day on Zoom calls, then spend more time behind the computer wrapping things up, and then veg out on the sofa after a long, long day. Too little exercise, no meaningful human contact.

I have been working from an office for the past year or so, and my health is improving, but it is a deep hole to climb out of.

I came here to say exactly the same thing. The writing is so bad I thought it must be an AI, but then I realized that AIs tend to write much better copy than this drivel.

I wrote something similar in the 1990s. Except, I had to write the TUI library myself (in x86 assembler) since nothing like what I needed existed at the time.

I was working on a project to do ECU performance curve remapping for a rally driver friend, so mine had additional features like the ability to export memory segments as .m files for plotting curves in Matlab.

I watched a video about ECU remapping (on a modern processor) yesterday, and the guy started by using the OBD port to get access to the system. I had to physically desolder the EPROM from the board to dump it back in the day.

The kids today have it far too easy.
