And why does latency compensation still not work properly? For real time stuff like games or video chat it's tough to compensate for latency, but when watching a prerecorded video there's no excuse. Video and audio should never be out of sync, and yet I find they usually still are.
> cant stay within eyesight of a permanent resident

The fact that this is practical is a consequence of low population density. In places like the Netherlands there practically are no localities where one is outside eyesight of a permanent resident, besides national parks.
I agree, in my lab our typical solution is a MATLAB/Python routine managing the simulations (submitting to a cluster, gathering the results, producing a report via LaTeX, changing some parameters, submitting again...) but these routines needs to be heavily customized for each project, version of the software, cluster, etc. and they always end being very fragile.

Yes, it is easy to destroy expensive and not easily replaceable hardware with software. They did need video, not for funding, which they already had, but to convince managers of critical infrastructure that there is an immediate danger.
While I agree that Bluetooth enables a lot of relevant use-cases with an open standard, I still see room for improvement:

- I still hate that the listening experience degrades as soon as I want to use a microphone simultaneously

- connecting multiple headphones with a single source is not as easy as it should be. Just this week I bought an extra device for this use case (1 Bluetooth source to 3 Bluetooth consumers), but is has annoying latency, sync and pairing issues.

- using the same headphones with different sources is a mess. I constantly have to enable and disable Bluetooth on various devices, so that they don't connect automatically to the wrong source. For example my Sennheiser Headphones can connect to two sources, but play only one at a time. So when you watch a movie at your PC and someone sends you a message on your phone, it can happen that the headphones don't return to the PC audio after playing the notification sound from the phone.

Could you give us a list of some things that are so terrible in Sweden? I have a gut feeling that it might also be different depending on where you originally come from. As a German I am pondering moving to the Nordics, because there are many small things that would be different and appear better, but in general I expect it to be much more agreeable to me than say the USA.
The most baffling thing to me about Bluetooth and I guess WiFi as well is that both disrupt each other when WiFi is on 2.4 GHz band. I wonder how creators did not see this blunder beforehand.

I know the solution is to use 5GHz for WiFi but my dad has to take online tuition from a floor above me where there is hardly any 5GHz coverage and he can't reliably connect to other band because I need to take my calls over Bluetooth headphones during same time. Now either I have to deploy another router on top floor or need to buy wired headset or continue taking calls from room on the other corner of the house where there is hardly any WiFi coverage.

It doesn't work on macOS. At least not with standard Bluetooth headphones. The only Bluetooth headsets that support high quality and duplex at the same time use proprietary extensions to do it, and those extensions tend to only work on one platform.
What an asinine comment. Not in a million years do you believe that the NYpost keeping RSS feeds around would have created a network effect, forget it being even in same universe of scale as the networks currently being discussed.

Never. I don't think I would use Java (or any language with GC) for such kind of job, it's more suited for C/C++/Rust.
Author here. You are right this is convoluted and confusing.

I wanted to write an informal introduction to options using a more tangible example for those who are put off by the maths but still would like to gain an intuitive understanding. At the same time I wanted to show things I found were interesting in the data.

It may have been better to separate the two ideas. As you rightly say, one is confusing the other in the current form.
This was predicted back in the 90s - the poles are so far below freezing that warmer temperatures increase polar snowfall (since they increase evaporation but remain cold enough for snow to form).

My 2018 Mac mini BT is woeful when I have a usb3 hub connected due to interference.

I installed a Hideez BT dongle. It works, until reboot, at which time I have to go through reconfiguration all over again. It would be impossible if I didn’t have cord connected peripherals for bootstrapping.

Apart from all that futzing, I think Bluetooth is useful. I particularly like talking on BT intercom with my motorcycle buddies. Who woulda thought the range would exceed 1km?

Moving on, this is what the article says:

> The study was based on 17 metrics, including student-to-teacher ratio, dropout rates and average SAT and ACT scores. Compared with the other 49 states and the District of Columbia, California ranked 47th in reading test scores, 46th in math test scores and dead last in student-teacher ratios.

I'm very curious about those metrics. Because the three that are mentioned only give a superficial glance of what's going on. Correlation is not causation, for one. Are drop out rates or low SAT/ACT scores directly related to the quality of education? Or the poor social economic situation of the households in which children grow up?

Without follow up, I'd be very careful about drawing conclusions.

> “More resources do not always correlate with better academic performance, as our findings demonstrate,”

Of course not. Then there's also the larger debate whether academic performance alone should be the main goal of public schools? Isn't the purpose of providing an education, ensuring that the next generation grows up into stable, independent and healthy adults?

For instance, she push towards standardized testing in which private publishers such as Pearson have come to play a crucial role is something that does deserve a discussion in it's own right as well, no? [2]

How to Overcome Investment Hurdles
How to overcome investment hurdles

We live in a culture of rights, and we expect instant gratification for the things we crave, whether it's the latest tech gadget, sushi, or a trip to Las Vegas. However, every time we pay for something, we have less money to spend on other things, including our investment goals. Unfortunately, many people lack the discipline or willpower to give up on immediate pleasures in order to thrive in the future, creating a very damaging feedback loop over time.

A 2015 study on goal setting by Dr. Jill Matthews, a researcher at Dominican University in California, San Rafael, found that participants between the ages of 23 and 72 who set their goals in writing and sent regular progress reports to their friends had a "much higher success rate." Of those who kept their goals to themselves. " In fact, more than 70% of respondents who wrote down and shared their goals reported success compared to 35% of those who maintained their goals. Goals for themselves, without writing them down.

Of course, even disciplined people may struggle to stay on the financial track when life throws them a hard ball. Job loss, divorce, illness, or other adverse circumstances can put life at an unexpected juncture that negatively affects earnings and energy savings. Volatility can also affect financial markets and your savings, as it did in 2007 and 2008 when American investors lost trillions of dollars in their retirement accounts.

Native Swede here. I don't exactly hate it but I don't love it.

The thing is though, you are basically Swedish now. You stay for exactly the same reason most of us natives stay. It's bad enough to loathe but good enough to never leave. (Until retiring in Spain or Thailand.)
I'm concerned that the "internet of videos" is not being properly archived, like the hypertext one is. I use ytdl primarily to save valuable homemade videos that I'm afraid could disappear if that person, or Google, were to delete or block the account. I'd hope this could be a coordinated effort by libraries and institutions interested in preserving this invaluable and unprecedented corpus of daily life, culture, spoken word, music etc. that could be studied for generations to come.

And I couldn't care less about VEVO and other copyrighted material, which, I wish, could find home in a completely different platform for all I care.
The virus kills on the order of 1% of people who contract it, and can cause serious illness or death even for healthy people, so anyone who is able to get the vaccine should get the vaccine. It's not like you're being asked to give up an organ or something; you're being asked to protect yourself, and protect those unfortunate enough not to be able to get the vaccine themselves as well. Rather than quibbling over percentages, why not ask yourself what ethical foundation a healthy person could have to not get the vaccine once it's been proven safe and effective.

Yeah, it is kind of sad it took that much money just to “prove” that digitally twisting a safety-related knob the opposite way an engineer would tell you, is going to ruin things. Hope it raised the right attention to try to secure things, but, a decade later SCADA attacks are still a concern...
I guess because it switches to a mode that favors latency over sound quality?

I tried using bluetooth headphones on a digital drumkit once, which went about as well as you'd expect. (mind you there was a laptop in between as well)
AptX is lossy compression which when applied to already compressed sources (e.g. Spotify), still gives noticeably inferior audio (it's effectively transcoding).
Most people listen to compressed music and so the right thing to do with limited bandwidth is to send the original compressed data over Bluetooth (as Apple/Bose do with AAC). AptX is probably fine if you have non-lossy compressed sources like FLAC.

I connected two Sennheiser HD350BT headphones to one BT Transmitter. That’s a TaoTronics. I was impressed that it worked. But you are right - with multiple devices connected latency becomes a compromise.
My opinion on this is that These problems are actually trivial to solve. The problem with firmware is that it almost always lacks polish. It is shipped as soon as it works at a basic level.
That's odd, I've never had anything disconnect and connect to something else while playing. Is anyone else having that problem?

Sending a single byte of data on WiFi via TCP/UDP? Create socket, call a function to send data. Bluetooth? inhales okay, first of all we need to know what operating system you're on. Then we need to know what stack.. Oh you're on Android and using the ndk? There's a stack but we may remove it at any time. How about some FFI to java land to use our bloated wrappers with managers, personalities, and all that other good stuff? Oh you want it to work on Apple too.. And on Windows you need to choose among multiple stacks, which you may have to install yourself, if you want THAT device to work. Or THAT feature. And then things just don't work reliably. Gotta re-pair (no pun intended). Gotta increase buffer sizes to megabytes.

It's just such a mess. Just go WiFi direct or cable.
Yes, I see your point. I can't remember the context that bit me anymore, but I think it had to with being unable to change the defaults with fconfigure for some reason, the channel being implicit or somesuch .

Impact of using HTTP connection pooling for PHP applications at scale
this comment should be at the top.
Yes, I think the initial simulation definition/set up can be "easy", but once you get to parallel shared memory clusters it unfortunately have to be much more hands on. I had hoped to eventually not only allow running individual solvers from a single interface, but also allow coupling them similar to PreCICE [1], however making that easy to use is something I've not dared attempt yet.

Yes, however if Servo was stopped early on due to no "ROI" (like it is the case today). Then those very good improvements would have not been made.
Yes and no. We're finally able to get it to work somehow, but nowhere near as smooth and reliably as cables used to work before.

For instance: In my car I have to turn BT audio on and off around 3 times before it manages to establish a link between my phone and my car and can play music. And only I am able to do this. My wife has long given up.

You know how she manages if I give her a cable? She inserts the cable and it just works, because that's what cables do.

Bluetooth has miles to go before it reaches the same kind of user friendliness and reliability.
I agree - I think it will have great value over a long period.

I don't know the ethics here and there were no messages in the channel. I think contributions on this level will in the end impact the most people. Anyone wants to join as well? I was planning on first describing (for myself or online) the last bug fixes and contributions to get a feeling for the code.
Are these part of bluetooth spec itself?

My guess is it's actually part of the managing software.

Specifically I guess this because this is what my Airpods do. They don't switch 'players' if I'm actively listening to something, but if I'm not, whatever 'boots' last is the one who gets to become my Airpod's player.

The fact that we have different experiences tends me to think it's a higher layer that's doing the 'auto switching' and someone made too simplistic of an auto-switcher?

Is this also different between growing up without a father vs growing up without a mother? I have some thoughts on this of my own, not sure how accurate they are.

I suspect the first case causes more competitiveness issues, general aggressiveness (or toxic masculinity if you will, though the term is somewhat problematic) The latter more issues with trusting women, intimacy, etc. Not believing in long term relationships might be more likely if one of the parents is completely out of the picture, not so much gender related. This is from a male perspective, perhaps from a female perspective the two cases can simply be flipped.

There probably is some research into these things, but I wouldn't know where to start.

I just hope for a better winter this year. Last year it was so little snow (until it suddenly was a lot, but then it was covid...). With home office and all those routines now, I'm dreaming about cross country skiing during an extended lunch break and then going back home and work some more. Would be nice actually seeing the sun, not just ski in the evening with a head mounted light.

While I think other commenters are right that it's nothing unique about the Nordics to be outside, I think Norway is a notch above Sweden (and many others) in going outside no matter the weather. I commute by bike all year, and during winter I would like to cross country ski X times a week, no matter the temperature or conditions.
