I've decided to part ways with my physical record collection.
Before putting everything up for sale on discogs I decided I will listen and sit through every record I have.
Going through each brought back many memories of the times I listened to the record the most. It was enough just to take it into my hands, take it out, look at the cover.
I rarely feel anything like that when I play music via digital means.
As if memories _stick_ better on physical mediums.
I hope you and you're family doing okay. This is not an easy thing to deal with. A relative of mine has died because of glioblastoma. He survived 14 months after the diagnosis.
I know this might come as very harsh from me but to this day glioblastoma is a death sentence.
I remember myself and others spending hours on the internet looking for trials, resources, success stories and what not. Later I realized that was just part of denial and negotiation.
He went through 2 operations where the portions of tumor were removed. Each time he came out with sort of personality changes, degradation in cognition.
The only thing that helped was that I scored thc oil - it's illegal where I live - and administered it to the relative just for the sake of better mood and quality of life.
the other link has a little, it's kinda just something i've seen around in different places when I was super curious about his music and how you'd produce stuff like that, specific ones I can find right now are in random threads[1] and in a red bull music interview he talks about it a tiny bit[2]
In addition to that things can be made even less error prone. Ive done this using yaml pipeline in azure devops. The plan task can be used to set an output variable which indicates if the generated plan contains any changes. That boolean value is used as a condition to trigger a manual verification task which basically prevents apply running if there are any changes without reviewing it first.
As the op mentions, the generated plan is an artifact itself that is used in a following apply task
Really enjoyed reading it. the analogies are very clear, easy to understand and fun to read. the illustrations are amazing as well. wish there was more of it :)
Doesnt adenosine improve bloodflow to the brain when we are tired? If that is true, increased bloodflow should increase the brain temperature as more blood circulates and exchanges heat
I would love to see smart household appliances to vanish from the market completely. Potentially less e-waste, less unsecure devices connected to the net. Let's hope this shortage will push towards that
Many "smart" home appliances are also substantially more efficient... The fridge which does defrosting at night to save energy and be able to have a smaller compressor, the washer which measures the incoming water temperature and clothes weight and adjusts the water level and runtime to reduce energy use, etc. Many of these devices might overall halve energy use compared to a device from a decade ago.
Sure, some of those energy savings are a result of better design and materials rather than clever electronics and software, but often the two must be used together - for example the washing machine that can be lightweight because it uses software to rearrange the washing in the drum for the perfect balance... And a lightweight washer reduces energy consumption to heat it up...
The ones that youve described are simply more efficient. What I was referring to are devices that needlessly have integrations via apps, social media or can be simply controlled by connecting them via wifi.
These are needlessly more complicated, have more moving parts and these parts are now scarce.
Smart == IoT for the current-day market. The fridge that defrosts every night does not need an Internet connection, yet today's market will make sure that it does without an actual need.
