The crazy thing is these came out in 92' and they didn't stop production until 2013 so you can still find these players. I just found out Sony stopped production of the minidiscs just last year which is crazy. A 20 year run for the player and 30+ years for the minidiscs.
If you can find a player, you can still get the discs on Amazon which is awesome considering how disposable tech has become.
The minidisc was probably beautifully designed. I still have a player and some sample discs because I found them so beautiful. No wonder Ive and Jobs used to go “what would Sony do?” As a design round at early Apple 2.0
Gotta love the LP4 mode. So much music on a single disk! Remember the cool rectangular batteries? Why aren't these gumstick batteries more used in modern devices!?
Planning wood, expect during kezuroukai, is annoying because knots are hard and deform the thin edge; most often still wet enough to oxydize the thin edge; finally full of abrasive silicium to abrade the thin edge.
Meanwhile, lake erie toolworks is creating powder metallurgy CPM magnacut blades for western style planes, which seemingly never gets dull because of corrosion resistance, wear resistance and hardness.
You would basically never use an axe in woodworking. It's widely considered bad practice, produces unstable results, and there are better tools available
Well, I mean you could use an adze or a froe. Axes are really common in green woodworking (chair making) and they’re great for getting wood to split along the grain.
I second the green woodworking comment. An axe (and wedges) are a good way to hand-split logs into boards. And easier than doing it with a saw in some cases. Hand tool woodworking really makes you appreciate the multitude of weird old tools you find in antique stores and how clever people were when using human power before power tools.
I don't know, my experience with mega SLOC projects were Java, so verbosity was also a thing.
Go's verbosity is usually found in multiples (if err), not in long forms (int[] arrayOfIntegersWithValuesOneToFive = new ArrayFactory().createArrayWithSize(5).populateWithValues(1, 2, 3, 4, 5);
).
> Yet the guys that have services running 24/7 for years without a hiccup will be the first ones on the chopping block when finances get tight.
Not really my experience, as long as the stable services costs of operation are good. I have witnessed more chopping on the R&D side, where things are never "stable and reliable", but innovative and expensive.
No need to change or outsource something that works technically and financially. Until it becomes irrelevant.
Very common in France if you ever drive by.
Usually sold as a small 30cm^3 plant which will probably grown up to 1.5m in diameter the first year. I used to have 7 in 12m2.
It’s also possible to grow from seeds, which you can buy online. It will require some dedication.
IME a very easy perennial, if you can prevent drought. Plant and forget. Like artichokes.
Recording was the killer feature for me. I recorded thousands of hours of band rehearsals with their stereo omni mics and the media quality.
