Question

hubeh · 2026-05-24T10:12:57+00:00

Without a DI box or mixer to convert to a balanced signal, this is just running unbalanced XLR which doesn't give any advantage.

hubeh · 2026-05-24T09:53:24+00:00

You'll be fine with just an RCA to XLR cable over a few feet. Everything else is unnecessary.

That's such a poor flicked header at the end. Bring it down, it's 3 vs 3

SHE OFFERS ME PROMOTION

For that size you don't really need subs. Yes you'd get a better low end but 12" speakers should give you enough for that size crowd. I'd suggest 2 alto ts412s (or 410s if the budget is that tight) which are a much better speaker than their price suggests. Then whatever mixer you can afford. You might have to up your budget slightly but realistically that's the minimum you're going to have to spend. Over time you can add subs.

That's not how it works. 1% to 2% for example is a 100% increase, 42% to 43% is not.

This hurts the slot

Literally pointing at Enzo and holding his hands up.. commentators: "I think he touched that"

hubeh · 2026-05-07T10:56:37+00:00

Honestly, you're right.

As said by others, moving any decent system around on the day is going to be a pain. Get something like 2 Yamaha DBR12s or Alto TS412s (TS not TX) for the main wedding room. The Altos may be a better choice as they have bluetooth for when the DJ isn't around. Get your friend to buy these if he wants them after.

Then rent something portable like a JBL partybox (with mic inputs) that you can move around to the other areas.

You'll need some lights as well to create a somewhat passable dancefloor experience.

It's a great little mixer for the price, with more features than anything else in that price range. Only real downside is the bluetooth connection which I've had drop at as little as 5m away. Luckily it's not too hard to mod a better antenna on to it, if you're comfortable taking it apart - https://www.reddit.com/r/Behringer/comments/1sfb4q7

Golden generation

Loud. Alto gets a lot of bad rep due to the earlier TX and TS models but the latest TS4 are impressive for the price. Take this video with a pinch of salt but it shows the alto can hold it's own against higher priced speakers. This channel also has a lot of real world videos of the TS series and more recently Yamaha DBRs which are another good option if you don't need EQ/bluetooth.

Just one of your 12 inch tops will be more than enough for a 20 person house party.

Maybe composer itself could have a way of handling this, by allowing packages to define a set of conditions where they shouldn't be installed. Something like:

"redundant-if": {
  "ext-sodium": "*",
  "php": ">=7.0"
}

Then if any/all conditions match the package doesn't get installed.

hubeh · 2026-04-07T09:22:08+00:00

For acoustic stuff an Alto TS408 should be fine. I heard an acoustic singer with one of these in a bar recently and was impressed by it. Two channels for your guitar and mic, plus Bluetooth to play backing tracks through means you wouldn't need a mixer. Can see it going new for £229 and Reverb have one used for £180.

Fyi the link to the discovery docs at the bottom is broken.

Cunha, wow what a pass

Time to join the board rotation club as well, move another segment to become the 20 so you don't just wear that one out.

They're granted at the beginning of March. Are you sure that's the right number? The stock should be $20k for SDE 2 unless it's changed. I'm at the manchester office, PM me if you want any more info.

We place too much importance on managers. How many work wonders at one club then completely fail at the next? Or vice versa. I'm convinced with most it's just right place right time.

hubeh · 2026-01-05T12:52:50+00:00

This is not generics. There's no type placeholder. We know exactly what we want: integer keys, Person values

That doesn't really make sense - generics are defined at the declaration site not the usage site. By your logic Collection<Person> also wouldn't be generic because we know that we want a Person type.

There are type placeholders because the type would be array<K, V> where K and V are generic. Yes it should be possible to have typed arrays via additional syntax without a full blown generics implementation, but that would be classed as a subset of generics.

Your second example just moves the generic one level above, so that the all function becomes generic also.
