@npub1cus…6789 the importance of meaningful work. I never managed perpetually meaningless stuff. Every job has its schlep bits, but. The overall balance must be positive.

@npub1cus…6789 Love the diagonal mount of the SoC.
Is the lone slider a master volume? Looks like a left handed operation then?

@npub1cus…6789 there are worse ways to make money. (depends on the chips I guess!)

@npub1cus…6789 honest question - what do they sound like. The myriad of flat reflective surfaces and hard angles look like they'd create interference fringes of the weirdest order. I'd the acoustics work out, making them of MDF would be quite fun - and seriously hipster saleable.

@npub1cus…6789 I have a toasted cheese sandwich for lunch almost every day. My colleagues are regularly jealous 🤷

How are you going to get this etched?

@npub1cus…6789 I always convert latency into sound-travel-time in air. 1.3ms is around 30cm? Less than the distance between your ears and your near field monitors. Much less than the 2 to 3m from a floor bin to a performers ears. You're good there.

@npub1cus…6789 You're very careful with handling your garlic, I see. Wise. Very smelly.
A little vinegar in there can also be nice, but give it long enough to cook (react) with the sugar. Makes a good sweet and sour sauce.

@npub1cus…6789 I never understood creating things that would be destroyed, until I got a bit older, and realised that there is not space for 100s of odd trinkets, no matter how cute. When my son in law made a whole, beautiful gingerbread house, complete with see through, edible windows, it clicked. He enjoyed the making. We thought it was beautiful, and it was. To look at, and to eat. The beauty is no less because it was ephemeral. Possibly, that was another whole dimension. Like a performance?

@npub1cus…6789 So long as you avoid the pointy end of the business that generates PTSD. Seen too many people go there. Might have had my own nightmares for a decade or 2 ... (and I _wasn't_ on the pointy end)

@npub1cus…6789 Yes. It's how things get done in bigger groups, and certainly in the corporate world.
If you're doing it for your own benefit, or other negative reason, it's manipulation. If you're doing to to achieve the group goals, and _could_ do it publicly, but the dynamics don't allow, its manoeuvring.
I drank a fair bit of coffee doing the latter. I like to think I didn't do the former.

@npub1cus…6789 looks quite fancy. I think it's a good idea, setting up the regular discipline.

@npub1cus…6789 yes. I think that's why I can teach: a constant flow of new people, but slow enough to get to know and connect with them.

@npub1cus…6789 am I allowed to suspect that your adhd might be impacting your reading of long books? At least some of the time?

@npub1cus…6789 mmm. One never knows who is responding, from what position. Also, we can't assume the fediverse is private. I'm guessing it's being scraped by someone already...
Some real risks.

@npub1cus…6789 you deleted your access to your account. The data, and the summaries of the data? I doubt it.

@npub1knz…c73p I think the core _ideas_ in the maths are accessible, but the notational & language gaps make it hard. The urchin image is appropriate in some ways - the urchin does not feel welcome in the (fancy Victorian London) shop, because his accent and language give him away.
I was making pretty good headway with Tim's article, until I hit " group PSL(2,ℤ) " Likewise, on your fascinating and enticing article on the modulus groups, the S_3 operator (?) lost me. (1/n)

@npub1knz…c73p " ideally also to the crowds of urchins in the street outside with their noses pressed against the café window"
👋 That's me! Failed 2nd year pure maths a few decades back, but is still fascinated by the patterns, and leaps between one area of maths and another. Trips on the language of maths regularly though - notation and terms and their shorthand!

@npub1j46…3gm7 As a teacher, but decades of keyboard use, I have watched this unfold over the last decade with a slowly breaking heart. Instead of being able to put down thoughts efficiently, the act of writing is now slow and painful, and the flow of thought proportionally stunted.
And you haven't even touched on the difference between delete and backspace, or ctrl-leftarrow, or ctrl home, or the myriad other ways of just working _fast_.
But I fear you are right - adoption will be slow.

@npub1pu7…pdj6 I can relate, although still jealous of the HS8's ... My more recent purchases went more into camera kit.
There are also items which punch well above their weight - Samson SR850 headphones are actually highly related in various reviews, despite being nearly 5x cheaper than the competition.
