> One downside with this approach is that multiple people working on it will create different copies. To make it possible to merge different copies of the same file, each data entry has a unique UUID and timestamp.
This was the first thing that popped up in my mind: Changes stemming from two sources and reconciling them. I see that you have a statement about how to handle data entry from different sources, but I don't see exactly how those are reconciled? For instance, if two users have a copy of the .capsule and make changes, then want to share their changes with the other, you have two individual .capsules with different data.
How do you merge them?
For really difficult mental tasks, I'll actually talk to myself or write things down so that they are less chaotic since the feelings/impulses in my brain may not line up. Kind of like a buffer filling up.
Now what really bothers my wife is when we talk about how we have conversations with others. I don't necessarily think about what I'm going to say verbatim when I'm talking to someone. It's impulses like I mention above where things kind of "flash" into my brain the moment before I say it. The best way that I can think of it is that it's similar to playing a sport where you have moments to change your trajectory and movement to accomplish what you want. I know thematically what I want to say, but I don't actually build the sentence in my brain.
Hope that helps!
1) I have to be very explicit when reading with an inner voice (which goes to your second point). Generally, it is a kind of recognition that a word has a meaning and I "feel" that meaning, if that makes sense?
2) Yes. It feels unnatural though.
Anyway, it's probably different in our minds because in the southeast, the heat + the humidity can literally kill you. Not having AC isn't just an inconvenience there; it's an emergency.
A couple of summers ago, when the heat was so bad in the Seattle area, I called a local HVAC installation and repair company to talk about getting AC installed at my home (built sometime in the 80's). There was a wait list of _hundreds_ ahead of me and unit shortages. It was a nightmare. Luckily, folks seemed to reconsider installation over the winter and I was able to work our way up to the top of the line to get things installed during the winter. Best decision I've made.
I was expecting Proxmox's LXC capabilities to be used to scale up to 13000, but this is just VMs + docker allowing that. Seems like the same thing could be done with any LVM hypervisor and VMs? Can someone correct me if I'm missing something?
I ended up using Teensy[1] and related audio shields[2] to get things working from a sound/acceptable delay perspective. But being able to get things going on a Pi would probably make more of the advanced input controls much simpler to implement simply from a OS support perspective (like in this project with the WebUI). The UI I'm seeing in this project looks great and it would be cool to potentially see something like kits/preinstalled images roll out for this!

Hopefully, we'll see someone get some code out there that helps clean this up!
My hope with this site and series is to get people like me exposed to the possibilities a little bit of code and a Teensy can unlock for them. The lower the barrier of entry, the more cool things people can create. :)
That being said, I'd love to get feedback on good sources to learn more about signal processing/theory or any resources folks would suggest for covering the topic even better!
The lower the barrier of entry, the more cool things that people can come up with! I'm hoping that more without a math/EE/audio background like myself can get started and explore some more of these deeper topics :)
Admittedly, I'm early into moving from analog circuits to digital signal processing, so I could be off the mark on my answer. :) Hope it helps, though.
I've also found that talking to others about your ideas that may not totally understand the tech world and explaining to them in terms they'll understand will help in boosting morale. Often times, people will see with fresh eyes what others (such as those of us here) would overlook otherwise.
