great for identifying drone sounds.


What is amazing about my spinal-meningitis-induced-by-high-body-temperature partial hearing loss is tinnitus is more there.

Decades later, after taking one pill of Zyban (to help quit smoking, Wellburtin-class), I lost the rest of my hearing in less than 30 minutes … permanently, but tinnitus went like mind-deafening.

7 years later, I opted for cochlear implants: and what do you know, tinnitus is barely there, almost gone.

not sure how to explain this, but it is largely gone, this tinnitus. I suspected that natural background noise is keeping this feedback loops (tinnitus) from mainfesting in my auditorial part of the brain.

Hearing largely restored in terms of jumpy crescendo yet fuller-spectrum, but dang, I hear farther than ever did before, like in Jamie Sommers of Bionic Woman.

I still operate in a high-stress environment of frontline cybersecurity, yet am more calmer and more responsive.

Highly recommended, unless you value your musical skill over tinnitus.


I do enjoy dual-PK-certificate authentication in my homelab: one by equipment, and one by user/group.

Only misgiving is that the key management issues have worsen only for the key administrator(s). But it is a viable and sustainable AA model because there is the most important security component: instant denial of a user and/or a equupment.


Ummmmm, E2E on a JavaScript-infested website?

No thanks. Just, no.


I've been had. Good one.


Interesting that King Ferdinand and Queen Isabella issued the Alhambra Decree to kick the Jews out ot Spain shortly after Christopher Columbus, a Sephardic Jew, reached the Americas.

This was even after the Jews heavily funded the Spaniard military in the conquest of Gibraltar.

> This was even after the Jews heavily funded the Spaniard military in the conquest of Gibraltar.

To be fair, it was also after they aided the initial Muslim conquest of Spain and assisted the new Muslim rulers in subjugating the native Christian population.


The purpose was to convert most of population to christianity to achieve cultural unity, and the ones who wouldn't convert had to leave. Usually it is explained only as an expulsion of the jews.

P.D: there are many theories around Gibraltar, specially since it was during succession war and the country was in a civil war.


I think it would have been more polite if they all converted to Judaism is cultural unity was the goal.


Your history seems wrong. The Alhambra Decree was issued on 31 March 1492. Columbus sealed his deal in April 1492, and started the first(!) expedition on 3 August 1492. And it seems he only reached the continent of America itself on his fourth expedition.


I know that CORS is stupid.

It took a CORS expert from W3C to answer this convoluted CORS question.

But that's not a CORS problem. It's a CSP problem. (And CSP deserves to be despised.)


And Ingo probably had the greatest heads up over the rest of us by having his new kernel perform the fastest iterative kernel rebuilds, probably using all permutation of kernel option settings for rebuildings.


How can We respond if We are allbusy building his branch before we can meaningfully respond in kind.


But his branch builds 70% faster now!


I’ve embarked down this same path with GCC 2.7.4 from a … while … back.

Ingo is on the right track.

I’ve always thought that this stuff should have been dealt with by the GCC (in form of pre-cached header files).

So sad that it is a thorny issue to this day (for large scale projects); so glad that this issue is now alive so it can be dealt with once and for all.

I envision some type of *.ho filetype to hold these quasi-compiled headers for the next build iteration.


"... dealt with once and for all."

Is at least one GCC maintainer looking at this? Otherwise it'll likely not be dealt with "for all", right?

On the kernel side every new dependency has to be added with keeping in mind this problem as long as there's no automation to help with this it'll be a problem.


Do you mean .pch? I think it works quite well generally, but for the kernel it might be too fragile as it is not so widely used.
