Slightly related, are there any game boy like options for kids these days? My kids are reaching game boy age and I am against anything that can run roblox or YouTube. Switch is a bit large.
Haha, exact same thing happened to me a couple weeks ago. You probably had the same issue as me. The driver dropped support for older cards and you had to switch to a legacy AUR package. I fixed it with some frantic googling while my friends waited a half hour. Not sure how you would know this without subscribing to some arch news feed or something. Not ideal.
Pouring the resources of a company the size of Snap into addicting as many kids into their app as deeply as possible is not the same letting them communicate freely. Besides that, I don't know of any parent that would want ephemeral and private communication between their child and a predatory adult. Snap is also doing nothing to shield them from pedophiles, drug dealers, and arms dealers that are using the same app as a marketplace.
The damning part is that these companies know they harm they are doing, and choose to lean into to it for more $$$.
Thanks for your response. Your open source contributions are perhaps less damned than those of an actual Snap employee ;)
Seems possibly similar to the anti-myopia glasses for children that cause blur around the periphery, which is expected when not staring at a screen. So maybe that could be good?
While at a stop sign, a car veered off the crossing street into my car at about 40 mph. My pregnant wife and 1 year old were in the back seat. Our car was destroyed and the other guy drove off, never to be found.
No permanent injuries on our end, but what you said about walking on a thin crust of ice rings true. And feeling like there's another reality where things didn't turn out OK. All the best to you, I am glad your daughter is OK.
I am a MATLAB and Python user who has flirted with julia as a replacement. I don't love the business model of JuliaHub, which feels very similar to Mathworks in that all the cool toolboxes are gated behind a 'contact sales' or high priced license. The free 20 hours of cloud usage is a non-starter. Also it seems that by default, all JuliaHub usage is default cloud-based? on-prem and airgapped (something I need) is implied to be $$$.
Open sourcing and maintaining some components of things like JuliaSim or JuliaSim Control might expand adoption of Julia for people like me. I will never be able to convince my company to pay for JuliaHub if their pricing is similar to Mathworks.
The most efficient way is a filter bank technique. Key words to Google would be "reconstruction", "dechannelizer", "synthesis".
A power of two number (N) of equally spaced frequency channels can be efficiently combined using a short fir filter on each channel followed by an fft where one sample from each channel is input to the fft per frame. Then you get N samples of your output. There is a bit more nuance but the author's bandwidth and number of channels are trivial to handle with this method.
Since each channel is already assumed to be spaced in frequency, you are essentially already in the frequency domain and only so only one fft stage is required.
So much of this article resonates with me. Fortunately ours was not as horrific. Last year, my family was in a car crash while stopped at a stop sign. Someone from the crossing road veered off directly into my driver's side without slowing, about 40 mph. My pregnant wife and two year old daughter were in the back seat. My wife sustained a concussion and extreme anxiety about the condition of our unborn child for the remainder of the pregnancy. My nose was broken and face scarred. My daughter was physically unharmed.
Everything she says about feeling like its important to tell people that you did nothing wrong, that it wasn't an 'accident' (oopsie, I almost killed your entire family!), that somehow you have to just keep on living your same life again and driving like this couldn't happen any minute ever again - I feel in my bones and don't think I will every be comfortable on the road or around cars ever again.
The person that hit us fled and was not pursued or found. Sometimes I wonder if they ever get curious about what happened to us. Also, turns out uninsured motorist coverage only applies if you can prove they didn't have insurance, hah.
