The Physics of Parabolic Microphones: Frequency Dependence of Gain

news.ycombinator.com Unknown 2025-11-06 03:42:10

Introduction Parabolic microphones are known for their extreme sensitivity, and the origin of their acuity isn’t difficult to guess. It is the most obvious thing about them, which can also make them a liability for field use, namely, their considerable size. Just as a large amount of weak light is captured by a telescope’s parabolic mirror and made amenable to viewing with the much smaller human eye, so too are faint sounds harvested with a reflecting dish that far exceeds the dimensions of our

macOS dotfiles should not go in –/Library/Application Support

news.ycombinator.com Unknown 2025-11-07 02:49:36

#macOS dotfiles should not go in ~/Library/Application Support One of my pet peeves is when command-line tools look for user configuration files in ~/Library/Application Support when running on macOS. In addition to offering poor ergonomics for users, I believe this behavior is incorrect according to the documentation which is cited to justify it. Instead, command-line tools should implement the XDG Base Directory Specification and look for configuration files in $XDG_CONFIG_HOME , which defaul

Capture Checking in Scala

news.ycombinator.com Unknown 2025-11-06 04:22:15

Hands on Capture Checking Introduction I gave a live coding session on capture checking at Scala Days 2025. Let’s be honest: it was essentially a failure, mostly because I have very little live coding experience and woefully underestimated how long it’d take to go through the material. I was stopped maybe 10% in, much to my annoyance and that of Martin Odersky, who’d kindly agreed to be there and help with the questions I was likely to get.

Elon Musk sues Apple and OpenAI, revealing his panic over OpenAI dominance

After a public outburst over Grok's App Store rankings, on Monday, Elon Musk followed through on his threat to sue Apple and OpenAI. At first, Musk appeared fixated on ChatGPT consistently topping Apple's "Must Have" app list—which Grok has never made—claiming Apple seemed to preference OpenAI, an Apple partner, over all chatbot rivals. But Musk's filing shows that the X and xAI owner isn't just trying to push for more Grok downloads on iPhones—he's concerned that Apple and OpenAI have teamed u

macOS Tahoe 26 public beta 5 rolling out now, install guide

Apple has rolled out the fifth public beta of macOS Tahoe 26, continuing its weekly release schedule for public and developer betas ahead of the official launch next month. Here’s how to install it. First things first: should you install the beta? You probably know the drill: Betas can be unpredictably buggy. Even if something works on one release, it is not guaranteed to work on the next. Of course, your mileage may vary. But if you decide to install the beta, strongly consider Apple’s adv

Apple’s latest TV+ subscription price hike might open the door to this opportunity
