I believe you can only make playlists available offline. So, you would have to create a playlist containing that single song and then there should be a download button (didn't test it).
It's wild that users have to be psychic enough to figure this out.
It's a super daggy solution, but I've found being humble and putting a little message in the app to let users know of oddities goes a long way. E.g. "To download this song, you need to make it part of a playlist" would have been enough. Inconvenient for users wishing to download a song for offline listening, daggy for spotify's UI, but much better than the status quo of frustrating users.
Yeah, but it's maybe not so obvious that this is a bad solution, because allowing single downloaded songs would then also require a way to find those songs while offline. So the best UX would probably end up putting the song into a playlist called "Downloaded Songs", which would always be downloaded. Net result, a playlist that has downloaded songs, with a slightly better UI for putting songs into that playlist.
In Apple music songs can be in three^ states: Null, In Your Library, or Downloaded, with downloaded being a subset of “In your Library”. When you are offline you can look through all your library and see those songs which you’ve added but not downloaded as greyed out, versus the download ones as black. There’s also a view that filters the library so it only shows downloaded. If you click a black Downloaded song, it plays, if you click a grey In Your Library one, it says “Connect to Data to play this song” or similar.
^ I lied, there’s actually a fourth hidden state “Cached” that the UI presents as “In your Library” rather than “Downloaded”, and will give the same “Connect to data…” error if you directly click on it to play while offline. However, if you click Play on the album/playlist/etc itself, you can then navigate via the “Next Button” and “Up Next” queue to pick the song and if you played it recently, it’ll work. Great if find yourself in a plane and there are some songs you’ve been listening to lately but forgot to download.
I’ve been meaning to write a blog on “The Hidden Cache Apple Music Doesn’t Want You To Know About” for some time now lol. But knowing Apple I’d half-expect them to “patch the bug” by preventing the hidden cache from being played offline.
Apple Music has a "Downloaded" browsing section (along with Artists, Albums, Composers, Genres, etc) that you can browse and search separately. Works fine.
But isn't that the whole point of UX engineering? Liked songs is also "just a playlist" but by adding a unique icon for it now you can add it with one tap, filter artists that you like the most, and when you go to an artist's page it can show all the songs by that artist that you've liked.
I think you can create such a playlist. I did that (I called it "on the road" for exactly that purpose) and every time I add a song it's downloaded immediately. Unless they changed something.
But yeah in general I agree that Spotify UX is less than optimal.
Well, you would need a template with 8x smaller features than a EUV mask (at least in one direction, 4x in the other). Ebeam lithography can in principle do this, but it's at the resolution limit and the shot noise will mean there will be a lot of defects.
A sufficiently defect free EUV mask can be worth >>1E6$, for a nano imprint template this would be much much more and it's lifetime probably a fraction.
That's why nanoimprint litho is no alternative to EUV.
I’m glad I’m not the only one. That presentation of data is so offensive to me, it nearly threw me off from reading the article. There are a dozen ways to present that data better. The way the authors chose is so unreadable that it would even be significantly improved as a text table.
Otherwise I doesn't make sense to me. Maybe someone wrote by accident 2017 instead of 2027 and then swapped the legend so that it fits the graph's message.
Still, wondering why 6 co-authors, one editor and several peer-reviewers didn't notice it.
Yeah, don't take paracetamol if your liver is already busy getting rid of the alcohol. However, both alcohol and ibuprofen increase the risk of stomach bleeding, so don't overdo it with ibuprofen either. I'm sometimes shocked how nonchalantly people mix residual alcohol with drugs without checking side effects.
PS: Paracetamol is a drug with pretty low side effects, but the dosage is really important. Even just doubling or tripling the dose can cause acute liver failure.
Paracetamol and alcohol is actually not a dangerous combination at all as far as the liver is concerned. That is why there is no warning against combining the two in the information leaflet that comes with it. Paracetamol is not toxic, but its intermediate metabolite NAPQI is. The enzyme that converts paracetamol into NAPQI is the same that breaks down alcohol, and it has a higher affinity for alcohol meaning that it will be too busy working on the alcohol to turn the paracetamol into toxic NAPQI.
Long-term alcohol abusers will develop more of this enzyme, so they are more likely to get liver damage from paracetamol though.
A STM is basically a very sharp needle flying just above the surface and measuring the tunneling current with a few volts applied at most.
It's rather small, most space will be taken up by the vacuum chamber and cryostat.
Other electron microscopes (TEM or SEM) cannot resolve molecules / or would fry them with their high voltage/currents...
The article mentions that the race venue used to house the world's largest (traditional, HV) electron microscopes at one time. I thought it would be cool if these towers were actually for that but it seems likely the place is just a science museum of sorts now. Or maybe they are some sort of fancy (electrostatic) dust collector?
That's apparently part of the first 1MeV TEM. Should be the high voltage source for the electron gun. The electron optics were most likely magnetic, not electrostatic.
If you don't mind moving to Germany, check out Carl Zeiss (SMT).
We supply the optics to ASML and also make our own semi equipment directly sold to fabs. Lots of growth and interesting challenges at the cutting edge of physics.
Scanning electron microscopes, where a beam of electrons is rastered across the surface can not (yet?) resolve atoms.
