I'm glad someone else pointed it out, I would be skeptical of these claims. It will always be constrained by thermodynamics and local humidity. And it seems to only absorb the vapor at night and then release water in sunlight. Even if it produces what they claim, it's still barely enough to supplant the daily needs, and the jacket is probably not worth saving half liter of water.

I bought a bravia tv around 2014 without any smart features and it stills works absolutely fine.

They will one shot with bunch of duplicated code, somehow they will just omit basic things, like security middleware. It will all kind of work. But then you make additional passes to do review and clean up, suddenly there is a lot more work to make it half decent.


In Croatian it was "Život na sjeveru" or Life in the North.


I implemented the McLeod NSDF pitch method, which normalizes the autocorrelation to get a pretty reliable estimate with fewer octave jumps. For precise tuning I used phase tracking between successive single-bin DFTs tuned to the target frequency.

For me it's hard because of tempered tuning, so each string should be slightly out of tune for everything to sound good. If I tuned by ear, I could get two open strings to match, but all the fretted notes and chords wouldn't sound good. On my ukulele I even tune one string down on purpose to make the fretted note sound better. And then there is the inharmonicity of overtones, and some strings have more noticeable overtones that influence how the pitch is perceived.


There is a new movement jokingly named "retardmaxxing", action over analysis, failing fast, quantity over quality, simplifying, etc.

I give it three months before it's ironically adopted by a broader audience or else sincerely adopted by people who see some value in the ethos. As if often the case, the lines will be blurred.

Sometimes I think people just want to be contrary and on some "new shit".


It's all in the details, eg. in sublime if you use the goto panel and highlight a file it will immediately show a preview, in zed you have to click on it, so you lose the snappy feeling.


Not related to beans, but I had serious issues with bloating, gas and bad smell comparable to sewage. It went on for years until I had a short massage to adjust my stomach, the lady was pushing and shifting things around. This was a few months ago. Ever since I haven't had that type of gas, and I burp now which I haven't for years. I didn't change my diet at all.


Not my field, but I wonder if this could have been a case of a bezoar of some kind, perhaps Phytobezoar[0], that got loosened by the massage?

After seeing reports[1] a few years back about the use of Coke as a non invasive way to clean these out, I now drink the stuff when my stomach is upset. With n=1 I can report it has a real effect on me.

I clicked the link out of interest but am quite happy that the article had no image.


Could be, almost like something was trapped and fermented inside.


Years of digestive issues resolved by a single massage? I've never heard of an outcome like that before. Could you explain more about how it worked and what this lady's approach purported to do? Who was she? Genuinely curious!


Sounded like alternative medicine, but it was supposedly centering my stomach or adjusting the intestines to be in their optimal place, e.g. some people have organ displacement, the stomach is too low or too high, and somehow that affects digestion and health.


Was this a normal body massage, where they also worked on your stomach or specifically a massage for the stomach promising a cure for your specific issues?


Sounds like the massage moved his intestines around


I understood that. Just wanted to know if the masseuse specifically pitched the idea to OP, after hearing his complaint or whether it was just a happy co-incidence.


It's a specific alternative therapy, a traditional practice associated with adjusting or repositioning the stomach in folk healing. The woman who performed this on me is a physiotherapist.


Thanks for clarifying it - does this alternative therapy have a name?


Honestly, I don't know, translated it would be stomach alignment, it was popularized by a traditional healer and herbalist nun who lived in Bosnia.


Did the massage trigger a giant fart? I would be terrified of somebody massaging my stomach, lol


It felt uncomfortable and I needed to pass gas but managed to hold it.


There are yoga poses that can be done solo, that have the effect of massaging internal organs. This can also be helpful for the lymphatic system, in which lymph circulates passively, encouraged by movement of the relevant body parts.


Do you know the name of those poses by chance?


Are you a Batman villain by any chance?


Please say more; this is breaking my brain.


It's now possible to carry a spare battery or two, instead of lugging a portable power bank and slowly charging your phone. This is great news for outdoorsy types, travel, long bicycle rides, hiking, and so on.


but they require you to have a special charger, or typically you have to charge them one by one from your phone. Swapping batteries also requires downtime (not easy mid-flight, cycle, or whatever you're doing). A portable battery charger is much better imo. Plugging in a cord is always going to be easier and require less hands and focus than replacing a battery and keeping any kind of dust-and waterproofness.
