Oh my gosh I am so excited the dashboard naming choices are finally here, I've been watching that issue for a couple months. Hopefully no more naming an ESPHome node Living Room TV Node and the dashboard instead showing nonsense like Living Room Living Room TV Living Room Node. Though, not sure if the actual entity ids will follow, that is the bigger issue. 🤔
Idk, I can think of plenty. Pricing models (finding comps and such) can be compiled in a fraction of the time! Online listings have AI-generated images of what different remodel options could look like! So on and so forth.
I made a pair of panel speakers (a.k.a. distributed mode loudspeakers) recently—they sound fantastic, take up almost no space being only slightly away from the wall, look like sleek fabric acoustic panels rather than bookshelf speakers on the wall, and were pretty darn cheap (~$65 for the pair with dual exciters on each). I'm still in the process of hanging them properly as my rear LR, as they're only 2 ft squares. I want to create a pair of 2 ft × 4.5 ft panels for my front LR which should sound even bigger and fuller, especially after a little EQ magic. Even just a single panel in a room though would be pretty good.
I also got a baby bass shaker to put under the couch for movie oomph; you could go for a normal sub too if you feel the low end needs more, but try just the panels first.
I really want to do a writeup of the discoveries I've made once I'm done; my background and degree are in audio engineering so I've done a lot of research and testing. To start, I recommend using Dayton's "high roll" exciters, I like their sound better. My panels each have one of these and one of these.
I'll also add, besides the obvious public endangerment, street racers are just soooo fricking loud. Noise ordinances exist for a reason, but even where they don't, nobody likes being removedn up by a bunch of metal death boxes screeeaaaming past their window at 3am. (Near me, it's a posse of motorbikes. I typed that as motorbiles at first. Heh.)
If I understand you correctly, I think "people don't easily comprehend the significance of increasing orders of magnitude" is a better way to frame it. To use iii's examples, people perceive a coffee that costs 5 as being 1 unit more than a coffee costing 4. But when comparing two cars costing 40000 and 50000, the human brain tends to just latch on to the most significant digit, and starts to see it the same way: just one unit more.
Tangentially, given our brains' difficulty processing large numbers, I wonder if this effect leads to money management skills being worse on average in economies with smaller base currency units, such as the Japanese Yen, Indian Rupee, South Korean Won, or for an extreme case study, the Iranian Rial, which currently exchanges at 49,313 IRR ≈ 1 EUR. When your haircut costs 1200000, a new phone costs 18700000, and a new car costs 1331400000, it's hard to judge the weight of your decisions. When the slightly nicer car costs 1645200000, it's near impossible to notice that you just spent your coffee money for an entire year (~5 days a week for 50 weeks) on a moonroof and Apple CarPlay. Not sure if that example is applicable to the average Iranian, but eh.
...is the most cursed thing I've seen all day. Especially so when you realize that when you convert it to a decimal of 1.25, the sentence is completely correct. Bravo. 😅👏
I like to say "cooking with magnets" because 1) it sounds cooler and 2) when people look at me weird I can immediately launch into my spiel about how induction heating is superior to gas in every way.
I mean, aliases do exist. For example, with my typical alias schema I might shorten it to sudo syc lsu-s. But yeah, on foreign systems (e.g. random VPS's) I can see your point.
I don't know what kind of kids show you could do with that. Maybe teach kids about the importance of conservation; it doesn't really matter because JUST LOOK AT IT, EEEEEEE!!! (⋆❛ ہ ❛⋆) ⸜(｡˃ ᵕ ˂ )⸝
And like yeah, both the wonderful (and foss!) .json5 and Microsoft's semi-proprietary(?) .jsonc exist, but most projects just use their language's default JSON parser that doesn't recognize them. What I would personally love to see is .json5 support baked into the default JSON parsing libraries of Python, Go, etc. (Enabled by a flag, likely.) It's a superset of regular JSON and fully ES2019 compatible, so there shouldn't be any issues.
I would add PairDrop to your list to have bookmarked. It's completely web-based so no download required and thus fully cross-platform. It also works across different networks (i.e. over the internet) by pairing devices or creating a room. Basically Apple AirDrop, but universal and on steroids.
