> but they tend to be one-offs that aren't worth the time
Friend of mine used to retrofit CNC machines. He's left the business, because the machines that can be serviced moved to poor countries - where customers tend not to pay him at all. The modern influx of CNC have some "intellectual property" protection and cannot be serviced.

Is this data not public for some reason? I think it will not hurt if there are multiple copies spread between public offices and private companies. What really hurts is a private company hammering your webserver for their own profit. They should get their own copy.
I second that. Loading the pages takes longer before the video starts playing. I also regularly run into bot detection where no video will play at all until I log in.
I switched bank in 2021 and it was hard. No bank advertises "we do compliant chip tan" and no bank advertises "we do not buy an app framework that scans for customs roms".
Switching banks is hard, because all of them suck, are underdocumented and a moving target.
> Dopamine has a half life of 2 minutes in the body.
May be true.
But doing "rewarding" work encourages your body to emit more dopamine. Some people call it "the flow", others "hyperfocus", but it is a constant stream of dopamine that keeps you doing what you currently do. And you can interfere with the emittance and absorbtion by using caffeine.
I am guessing: There is an evolutionary "shadow". Genes for getting old and healthy are not selected for, because you get old after having children. Evolution optimizes for the survival of your children.
Might be that cancer hits after creating offspring.
When I shop for special hardware (e.g. bicycle shift gear) it is usually underspecified.
If the information does not exist in the text block, a chat bot is of no use.
But the long answer is: It will stay out of tune for a given definition of "in tune", because there is no perfect string.
A perfect string has a diameter of zero.
> The math of harmonics is really simple
If a string only had harmonics on it, the oscilation would form a stationary wave that never leaves the string and resonates between bridge and head.
It is the non-harmonics that create the sound.
A sound is made of a base frequency and overtones.
Overtones are never perfect multiples of the base frequency, because they are influenced by
(1) string length
(2) material bending stiffness
Because of bending stiffness, overtones have a lower frequency than their theoretical haromnics.
> The second harmonic is the one you get from the string vibrating in halves.
True in theory, false in practice due to bending stiffness.
> Guitars can’t be perfectly in tune
I don't see why. Overtone series are impossible to solve, but base frequencies can be tuned to your liking.
I am unhappy with python. It degrades fast. It deprecates libraries every minor release and that tends to break the applications I use. Recent examples are distutils and opsaudio.
> I say let X11 die, bury it, and never let it rise again.
totally awesome! And once we are done with X11, lets put pulseaudio to the grave! We can all focus on having an audio stack that does realiably stream to many sinks!
