We did some cycling again. Very slow, but under clear blue sky! This time I tested recording when the camera was mounted on my new chest strap.
I think I like it! I remember when I once said that I'd feel stupid wearing such a chest strap with the camera mounted, but - to be honest: I don't care any more.
The result seems to be good. If I still like it in summer when I'm sweating? I don't know. But that's a problem for in a couple of months.

Not to comment on the worth of any SotUA, just a reminder of how William S. Burroughs and his friends found they could shut down a restaurant by recording all the audible mis-steps and guffaws it made, and then playing this tape back at loud volume on the street outside it.

Hear Debussy Play Debussy: A Vintage Recording from 1913
A century ago, the great French composer Claude Debussy sat down at a contraption called a Welte-Mignon reproducing piano and recorded a series of performances for posterity.

10 years and a few days ago, I was running a DIY Synth workshop with STM32F7 dev boards in our kitchen in North London... Still have ~10 of these boards.
Here are also two videos (live performances) of some softsynths (some with MIDI via USB support) which we built in these workshops (I did quite a few of those in that year)...

'rr' is a very odd debugger - it can run backwards (kind of). Normally when debugging a program you get to a crash and find that a variable has a bad value - your challenge is now to find out how it got that way. With 'rr' you can watch the variable and tell it to 'reverse-cont' backwards until it found what wrote it! It's not that often you need it, but when you do it's amazing - it's also great for helping understand a code base you don't know.

At the neighborhood party you may be asked to wear a name tag with your first name. The initial contact and conversation is more relaxed as no one wants to talk about their work. Your neighbors want to know how you feel about that ungodly reno going on down the street, share stories about your kids, and swap anecdotes about pets. Definitely cats... lots of cat sharing. It's a community where no one is selling, no one is recording data, and there's no unfathomable app pushing conversations into your group. The goal is to go home feeling closer to your community and more empathy for its members.

I guess the lesson here is to not use the "new" TikTok when you're recording protests.

Those people you see in videos blowing whistles, honking, video recording everything ICE does? They’re not just full-time activists who are used to this kind of thing, who tail ICE all day. They’re random retirees from down the street who heard the whistles and came outside even though the sidewalk’s a bit dicey. They’re mid-career professionals who were on their way home from a long day at work and heard the honking. They’re parents who are afraid their kid is going to be late for their violin lesson but they just have to be out there because this is too important.

Because I constantly hear myths about the good old compact cassette here's a longer post dispelling them:
1. They can sound as good as CDs
2. They don't wear out
3. You can't use a pencil to wind them
4. You can go to specific tracks automatically
5. You don't need to carry around extra batteries
I will elaborate below:
1. Sound Quality
Many higher-end decks can record cassettes on metal tape with various Dolby noise reduction settings; especially the combination of metal tape and Dolby S will make tapes that are pretty much indistinguishable from listening to a CD.
Even normal or chrome tape with Dolby B (around since the 1970s) will give great results; likely indistinguishable from a CD when played in a car or while out and about with a personal player.
Some extremely high-end tape decks produce better than CD results in some regards (for example some Nakamichi models go to 26KHz with frequency response, while CD are inherently limited to top out at 22KHz).
It's true that the dynamic range of CDs is much better than either vinyl records or tapes. However, unless you're super into classical music there's likely not much music for which this truly matters, as 99% is mastered to use much less dynamic range than provided by any audio media format. (If you're super into classical music you probably want SACD or other high-res lossless sources anyway, not CDs.)
2. Yes, it will wear out mechanically but you will wear out mechanically before it does. Please watch VWestlife's video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_dgJ4hRHBiw
3. European and American pencils are too thin to engage the cassette reel cogs. (You'd need to get a Japanese pencil. People mostly used BIC pens for this purpose which have the right thickness.)
4. Most (nice) decks and personal players from the early-to-mid nineties onwards have track skip features (e.g. Sony has AMS, Automatic Music Sensor), which allow precise winding to a specific track.
Some decks even did this in the early 80s!
5. My late-90s Walkman has seventy-eight (78) hours of playback on one (1) single AA battery.
Anyway, the main reason why I like them is they're fun to use and recording them is very deliberate instead of algorithms selecting music for me. :)
