The worst thing about dealing with C (and C++ to an extent) code is understanding and debugging macros that you didn't write. Here are a couple ways of how to deal with them!

I dunno if it's because I'm old now, but every time I see "It's X times bigger than Y!!!" I get immediate dread bro I just want a good story I can finish after work, but I'm happy there's a lot to see
Details for 'Crimson Desert' ⚔️ • Playable area is 2X the size of 'Skyrim' and it's a larger map than 'Red Dead Redemption 2' • You can ride a dragon, bear, raptor, or pilot a mecha • Single-player only • You can capture any enemy and turn them into a city for rewards

Did you know that when they say stuff like "The A18 uses TSMC's 3nm process" or "announced the 2nm node" The 3nm, 2nm actually doesn't mean anything?! It's just like a version number. They make it up. Literally nothing measures 2nm or 3nm. I certainly didn't know.

I'm still not sure it's the backlight. When I turn down brightness to 0 (effectively turning off the display) I can still hear the ringing

But now, I'm not sure what to do about this other than put on some music and try to ignore it 🫠

ChatGPT thinks that the PWM that drives the brightness might have a base clock of 64khz, which would have a subharmonic at 6.4k... the frequency I'm seeing

It turned out that it was my monitor! In the video, can you see when I unplugged my monitor? Here's a pic of the peak frequency when the monitor was plugged in (For reference, this is the 38" LG 34BK95U-W)

Then I started turning off breakers for my office all nearby rooms. Then I went up to measure, and the sound had gone away, so it was clearly something in one of the rooms. One by one I turned on and off things until I could immediately map cause-and-effect

First, I thought it was my neighbor’s electric car charger, which is in the garage directly beneath me, but when I went downstairs to measure, the sound would go away 🤔

When it’s dead silent in my office, I’ve been hearing a very faint high pitched ringing. I thought it was just in my head, but today I have definitive proof that it isn’t!!

I'm here to once again remind people that for every topic on HN I've ever been truly an expert of or have had access to inside information: the HN commentary is impressively, yet very confidently, wrong. When reading other topics, I have to constantly remind myself that...

What's with this the trend of posting a screenshot of an article, but not linking to it? Is this the new twitter algo meta?

they don't want you to know this, but you can visualize arbitrarily hyper dimensional spaces in your head. just keep stacking!
@waitbutwhy Just think of it like a bunch of 3D spaces stacked on top of each other, like in all the multiverse fiction, and you have magic universe sliding powers. Now 5D that’s rough.
