Rest in peace, Ma'am.

Half the entropy is trying to figure out which pieces of this article's text are supposed to be the silly falsehoods being corrected, and which pieces are just the second or third paragraph of a preceding 'Fact'. Deadpool is easier to follow.

Oh no. Please, please don't let eBay get Boeing'd.

Hm, no, non-24 is not just a severe version of DSPS. Or rather he seems to be saying DSPS is really just a less severe version of non-24.

I have it. What I've learned from my doc (a researcher in the field):

It's primarily a specific genetic mutation that affects many of they body's cyclic timers, but relevant here is that the circadian feedback loop is no longer able to lock to a 24 hour day/night cycle at all. The timer technically works. You're perfectly sensitive to light/dark, but you're hitting a PLL with inputs faster than its ability to make meaningful adjustments. That's not the case with DSPS.

Sleep apnea diagnosis is relevant here, it also breaks the breathing reflex timer. Imagine finding out at age 40 that you've not, in fact, slept more than a few minutes at a time your entire life, because you wake up just enough to take a breath every 3 minutes or so when a secondary suffocation reflex goes off.

It's more another example of 'you can sue for anything on a whim'.

I'm still mostly without words; I just hear Ralph's voice in my head when I think about his passing. He was a force of warm, kind, friendly enthusiasm. We miss you, rillian.

"It's not a guidebook"...

This might be the scariest point. To me at least, it only felt obvious after stating it directly.

Q, more than any other glyph, is the letter that never fails to look weird in every typeface when I spend too much time looking at it/re-re-re-re-designing it.

He can, he did, and we're all here arguing about it, which somehow delights me.

Amazing what you can do when you throw 10 billion transistors at a problem instead of only a few million.

sort of like The Order of St. Liebowitz the Engineer from _A Canticle for Liebowitz_

Waiting for the Derek Lowe post, but... if this is legit, it's a 'holy flipping s**' moment. That kind of success in Phase I human trials is incredibly rare.

This is actually some wonderful work that succinctly explains a lot of my experience. Much of how I was formally taught to program is counterproductive to the big picture the second someone else has to understand the code. It's part of the reason that I hate dealing with Rust and C++, and breathe a sigh of relief when the codebase I need to suck into my head is good old C. C offers fewer ways to hide all the working code in six layers of templates.

Rest in Peace, Bittersweet Prince.

Short answer is 'bugs', possibly even in the reviewer's own software. Opus (and I would fully expect AAC-LC) preserves time alignment. Something unknown, somewhere unknown, in an unknown part of the unknown software chain caused an unknown shift, and it's not necessarily by an integer number of samples. You can't use this 'enh, whatever, good enough' approach and expect to do meaningful null analysis, even if you're using it inappropriately.

In all seriousness, every aspect of this comparison is somewhere between deeply flawed and invalid. No point dwelling on just one part.
