I think you’ll have more success focusing on them as separate components as the power amp will always be in the analog domain
Recently I purchased a “fosi audio” (brand names seem to rotate) stereo amp with bluetooth. It’s about the size of a raspberry pi.
It is plenty powerful to drive a pair of bookshelf speakers, sounds good, and connects to a turntable and bluetooth source at the same time.
$25 on ebay. Really hard to beat for the price and size
The point of a shadow ban is for the banned user to not notice.
This sounds like a regular old ban/blocklist.
No, your in house scripts are not documentation, because they provide little context or rationale. In many cases they make the system more opaque by masking fundamental admin actions inside poorly commented wrappers.
There is no substitute for well written documentation
Writing ensures that
a) it was important enough to spend time writing out
b) the ask has been thought through and can be communicated in clear terms (and via written clarifying questions)
c) the conversation can scale beyond half duplex in the same space and timezone
d) there is a log of the ask, questions, responses, etc. for posterityThis allows everyone to investigate, think, prepare questions and organize ideas/approaches.
Without that sync time is wasted explaining the basic premise
I’ll keep several around the house, so I’ll always have a large bottle of filtered water right next to me.
For me it helps with staying hydrated, and I like to think that reusing these bottles is better than recycling them right away.
Also as a cheap skate the notion of a $30+ bottle is silly
If you want to see how a developer really works, ask them to submit a patch, participate in a real code review and review their public facing code contributions.
If you wanted to do that, you’d be doing it already. So quit making promises and just do the thing, or don’t.
Just enjoy where you are in life and focus on whats most important now.
Bonus points if you could get the teachers machine
It’s my view that this is a failure in road design, and leaving it up to drivers to make up their own rules is dangerous.
Understood this is the status quo, but I wish more would be done to address these types of situations because they cause stress and accidents
This is a social norm of driving today that makes little sense. It’s actually quite dangerous to stop in the middle of traffic and wave at someone. And the person waving usually acts in an impatient and unpredictable way. They will give you about 5 seconds to lurch into the road before they get irritated and drive on. Or they could easily commit insurance fraud by luring you into an accident that appears to be your fault.
If all followed the rules of the road it’d be a lot safer and also slightly easier to automate
Anyone sticking around is hanging on to what they had in the old system.
That’s dead and gone. its time to move on.
