Well, one cup of coffee tends to use 7 grams of coffee beans. That has the same emissions as 5 grams of lamb.

Are you trying to say that unwanted teen pregnancies are the answer to population decline?

Tiny nitpick, 23 qr-codes are needed as one can contain 2,953 bytes and c64 has 65,536 bytes of ram. 65536/2953=22.19

Oooooh that makes so much sense, I had been wondering why lifting the earcup slightly doesn’t amplify the sound, but that explains it. Thank you for the clarification!

I don’t know how the prices are over there, but used wh-1000xm3 over-ear headphones could be an option. They have basically the same anc than the newer models (interestingly rtings rates tde xm3 better than xm4 and xm5), and even more importantly the voice prompts can be completely disabled apart from power-on and power-off sounds, unlike in the newer models.

Edit: See sushibowl’s explanation below why this is incorrect

What do you mean that blocking sudden noise in technically very challenging? I might be wrong, but from what I have gathered is that ANC is based on playing a “negative” of a pressure wave picked by the microphones in phase with the original wave. Thus it has to react to all sounds in the time that the pressure wave travels from the microphone to the ear, so it shouldn’t matter whether the noise is constant (airplane) or sudden (gunshot).

Of course if the headphones have some kind of pass-through active, then it might take a while until software decides to activate ANC, but that is not a limitation of ANC itself

For me even kagi didn’t provide a recent doc, but at least there is no garbage-sites (which I have blocked)

My partner sets two alarms, one an hour earlier when they take the adhd medicine and go back to sleep. It has sped up their bed -> outside time significantly.

I solved this issue by getting an ortholinear split keyboard (keebio iris) and flashed it with custom dvorak layout. This way my muscle memory hasn’t suffered much then using a regular keyboard with qwerty, only special characters like paranthesis cause issues.

Oh that makes so much sense. I was wondering why single-click would ever be default.

Like volume mixer in windows?

No problem! Make sure to test the universal summarizer also, it has been extremely useful for skimming scientific papers and documentations (you can also select “discuss further” to ask specific questions about the material).

I also felt that the price is too much, until I started to actually think how much I use and rely on search engines in my life, and suddenly the cost doesn’t seem all that high. Granted I’m fortunate enough to live in a high-income country.

Give kagi a shot, it has worked great for me

If I cannot fall asleep in 30 minutes or so, I “give up” and go lay on sofa and watch something low intesity from youtube (restoration channels are great for this. This removes most pressure to fall asleep, which often is enough to make it possible to fall asleep quicklyish. And if not, at least watching videos is more interesting that lying in dark room.

Note that you should either wear blue-light blocking glasses (not those barely tinted “computer glasses”, but those that are meant for blocking lasers), or use some software solution, in order to not disturb melatonin production. It’s a good idea to start doing this at least an hour before going to bed in order to allow melatonin to build-up.

Another option is adding canned chickpeas, they work with almost any ramen

I suggest going straight to https://kagi.com, or you can also use your current search engine to find it using query “kagi”.

But to be serious, it’s great. The search results themselves feel like how google used to feel years ago before the enshittification, and there are many useful features, like changing priority of different websites. I for example have removed all pinterest sites, reduced instagram and increased wikipedia weighting. They have a free 200 search trial, give it a go!

This is a problem I have with remote work: in theory it sounds perfect for me, but in practice I don’t get anything (not interesting) done when no-one is around.

We have this issue in an internal tool at my workplace. My coworker is the only one who has long enough password and is too stubborn to change it, so they change the (client side) limit every time they log-in.
