I've been doing some analog PCB layouts for the first time recently, it's the one thing I wish there were better resources on (going from schematic to layout). Even the best YouTube vids are mostly simple digital stuff with very few components.
While not perfect, I really liked Will Pirkle’s book[1]. It describes the popular ABIs and has great intro to DSP. I would say the downsides are that the description of various interfaces takes up too many pages and that the book uses his own framework ASPiK for cross-compatability, but it’s easy enough to convert to a more popular framework like JUCE if needed.
I think it's explained quite well in the introduction text:
> M1 macs tend to have issues with custom resolutions. Notoriously they don't allow sub-4K resolution displays to have HiDPI ("Retina") resolutions even though (for example) a 24" QHD 1440p display would greatly benefit from having an 1920x1080 HiDPI "Retina" mode.
So, if you connect a non-4k display, the Mac will render in a way that won't look as sharp as the display could.
If you are in the marked for a new display, just but a 4K model (unless you have good reasons not to) and you won't need this hack.
So, if you connect a non-4k display, the Mac will render in a way that won't look as sharp as the display could.
That's not true. A display will happily utilise it's full hardware resolution. The problem, as I understand it, is you can't change the DPI of the monitor. You can configure a 2560x1440 display to use a lower resolution (e.g. 1920x1080 or 1600x900), but then the monitor itself will upscale this into a blurry full screen.
Tricking MacOS to change the DPI would let you configure the display to use all 2560x1440 pixels, but drawing everything bigger, at full resolution.
But this is a fake display, it doesn't actually show anything. I think the explanation only makes sense for people that already know what the issue is.
I'm using a Mid-2015 MacBook Pro and it's far from performant for me. Assuming it's mostly new users who see the homepage page, do they assume their new users have high-end computers?
It’s really not as sophisticated, but these guys[1] created an extension that in addition to their main objective of analyzing Facebook’s algorithm also offers a way to create your own Facebook feed. If I got it right, they analyze posts their users see, categorize them by topic and then let you create your own RSS feed with only the topics you want to see.
It’s not clear to me whether you may see posts collected by other users or only ones from your own feed and it seems highly experimental.
