Seconding Plex / Plexamp if the use case involves streaming remotely. Probably the easiest to get up and running for remote access.

I'm not sure about the capabilities of hosting on a Pi, but it should be straightforward to run a couple different apps in parallel to test and compare features (I'm currently doing exactly that with Plex and Jellyfin)

Snow is a great example. As a kid, snow was freedom from school, a sculpting medium, a sledding surface, a new landscape to explore...

As an adult, it mostly means tangled commutes and manual labor.

Granted, a gentle snowstorm can be pretty nice when you don't have work the next day, but it doesn't have the same magic it did.

So you're living 4 months and a few days in the past, then huh?

😂

Saw this pop up in my replies before I noticed the context and was very confused... lol

Uhh, do you guys not have pockets?

Where was your phone when you walked into the bathroom, and where does it go when you walk out?

This is kind of a weirdly phrased question.

Mathematically, THE argument of the sine function is the angle in question. One definition of sine, using the sides of a right triangle, is the ratio of the opposite leg to the hypotenuse of said triangle: sin(theta)=opposite/hypotenuse.

Edit: it occurred to me that maybe what you're asking is how to compute the angle, theta, for which sin(theta) = a certain ratio of opposite/hypotenuse. There is an inverse sine function (often called arcsin) that does just that. Arcsin(opp/hyp)=theta. That's the case where it would make sense to take the side lengths as arguments.

This is totally random and off topic, but damn the idea that you can buy a $100 device decently replicates 3d mechanical objects still blows my mind.

That trunk looks thiccccccc. Got any upskirt pics?

(If this joke is in bad taste and poorly received, I blame day drinking 🍻)

Am I missing something, or is the point about sunlight's spectral peak being different in frequency space than wavelength space non-sensical?

Wavelength and frequency are simply the inverse of each other, and two different ways of describing the same color. The color with peak intensity is what it is, whether you describe it unsing wavelength or frequency.

Maybe the author meant some kind of integral / area under the curve concept, since the shape of the curve is different using wavelength vs frequency as the x axis, but even then, the actual power output across some spectrum range is independent of whether you define the range in terms of wavelength or frequency.

Go back and reread. The reviewer is restating the book's premise, not their own.

Jesus, am I getting trolled here?

It perfectly fits with the rest of their argument that billionaires owe their success to luck and circumstance more than whatever magical secrets the book author is claiming. Not sure what else to tell ya bud.
