It's amazing that they can measure the speed of sound at all given this. They must need to line up a bunch of eardrums.
That's my take too. Short for "this requires you to follow a steep learning curve, even if it is not easy to do so."
Ha! Well I was just having a laugh. Expecting that you would prefer "you should damp your expectations" and that my construction should mean "make your expectations wet." And it turns out dampen is ambiguous. It means both moisten and dull, deaden, make weak.
Not only that, but most every form carries both meanings, and the "weaken" sense for the word damp predates the "humid" sense. Because the noun came first and it was specific to suffocating fumes in a mine that would extinguish candles, and people.
So my take now is that dampening means both "making weak" and "humidifying, moistening." Only damping is specific to motion/energy. And I can't recall encountering anyone using damping to mean "making wet."
You should probably dampen your expectations on this one.
Yeah, I get what you're saying. Definitely. It's not complicated for one pair of speakers in one room. For one music source. For one person controlling it.
There just haven't been any better cost-effective solutions with multi-room, control from your any phone convenience. And that's a big plus for how we listen to music. Today there are a few contenders, but many of them are also cloud dependent. Really the small number of good options in this space is proof of how good Sonos was for a long time. Well and also of Spotify causing people ditch the idea of a offline digital music library.
Edit: And to be clear, aside from the "any computer networks" part, this is what the original Sonos device did. It could work without a home network, but worked best with a shared music library on a PC. Didn't need cloud anything, internet connection, account, etc. You just hooked your normal speakers to it and it played music.
Mildly what now?
No. 1970 is 0 in Unix time. The NTP RFC specifies 1900. I had to look it up!
Better to represent it as a 64-bit unsigned fixed-point number, in seconds relative to 0000 UT on 1 January 1900. It's how he would have wanted it.
Just get into a habit of muttering "it's not vodka" whenever you drink from it. That should put everyone's mind at ease!
And if you did, and want a fun tech project to track what species are in your yard, check out BirdNET Pi: https://github.com/mcguirepr89/BirdNET-Pi
OsmAnd will do that. If you edit the destinations you can manually specify their order. Click sort there and choose door-to-door to get the most efficient routing.
The app takes some getting used to, but it works very well, and can act as a front-end for contributing to OpenStreetsMap.
LULd for sure.
