My other disappointment is how they didn't use this to improve bluetooth too.

They could of used this to add a new set of proprietary bluetooth protocols to improve the audio quality of voice calls and general listening. BT microphone + headphone streaming is fairly high latency and low fidelity. Same with general audio. Could of called it Apple Bluetooth HD or something similar.

Missed opportunity.
Keep in mind the Airpods Pro also have a gyroscope and accelerometer.

Not what stability means in this context - naively, CentOS Stream is considerably more likely to lead to broken development builds, inscrutable library inconsistencies, driver weirdness, etc, than the previous distribution model. It also poses ugly questions for teams who need certified processes or strict security requirements.

I could be missing something and I don’t think the motivations are strictly mercantile, but this does make CentOS Stream much less appealing (compared to RHEL) than CentOS 7/8. I am personally not that affected by all this (my org uses RHEL) but it’s a huge hassle for a good number of serious CentOS users.
I think that's a case of the OS you're connecting to having a separate volume setting for Bluetooth headphones and the built-in speakers, at least from my use with an iPad that's how it works.

If you adjust the volume down prior to connecting, you're changing the speaker volume. When you connect to the headphones, it connects them at the volume you previously had used with the headphones. And when you disconnect, your speakers go back to the level they were at before you connected the headphones.

I've never seen them jump higher than my previously used setting.
Among existing alternatives such as Ubuntu LTS, Debian, openSUSE, etc. which is the least likely to meet the CentOS fate (I mean acquired by a large corporation)?
Somehow I've missed "twee culture" and I had to lookup what that meant, he's an Atlantic Article that goes into some depth:

https://www.theatlantic.com/magazine/archive/2014/07/the-twe...

" Twee’s core values include “a healthy suspicion of adulthood”; “a steadfast focus on our essential goodness”; “the cultivation of a passion project” (T-shirt company, organic food truck); and “the utter dispensing with of ‘cool’ as it’s conventionally known, often in favor of a kind of fetishization of the nerd, the geek, the dork, the virgin.”"
Unless existing outside contributors agreed to relicense, then all of their existing work is still GPLv3, as I don't see any CLA or copyright assignment as a prerequisite for contribute. That or they have had to remove those contributions.

I didn't see that mentioned in the announcement, so TBD.

Lol this costs more than a Xbox Series X or PS5 for comparison and with Xbox Game Pass you’re at same value as AirPods Max but with hours and hours of entertainment. This isn’t worth $550 probably $200-$300 around AirPods Pro price.
Maybe I'm not as discerning as some but I grew up with music and a lot of hands on experience listening, writing, and producing it, including some professional training. I dunno, I guess for me, the bluetooth experience + noise cancelling + transparency + phone integration all just adds up to being worth more than the marginal quality improvement from the prosumer alternatives people have been mentioning.

After all, anyone who really cares about audio quality is listening on monitors in their sound isolated home studio /s

Fedora Silverblue could be interesting alternative to regular Fedora then, since you can boot into or roll back to a previous release. You can also pin a known-good OSTree commit, so that one could always boot that version.
Presumably you haven’t actually tried the AirPods Max yet.
There are some really interesting applications of high efficiency solar panels.

At 40+% efficiency you can charge slightly modified EV’S left outside enough to break 15,000 miles of added range per year. It's not currently practical, but drop the price enough and it’s a compelling use case. Unfortunately, even 80% isn't enough for high speed solar aircraft, but they could offset a lot of fuel needed for APU’s and even supply useful amounts of thrust.

Fedora releases every six months. RHEL has a major release every three years, with minor releases every six months.

The major release of RHEL is usually forked from a Fedora version about a year before the major release, so with some exceptions software versions tend to be about a year behind those in a Fedora release initially, and then as RH backports patches rather than revving versions, drifts further.

It's the patches and smaller updates — and new hardware enablement in the full-support phase — that will be landing in CentOS Stream. Previously, this stuff was developed internally and only released to the world at the minor-release drop every six months. Now, it'll be developed in a shared space. So what you'll have in CentOS Stream is whatever is intended to ship in a RHEL minor update within six months.

There may occasionally be a situation where an update introduces bugs into Stream that would have been caught by QA before a public minor RHEL release and subsequent CentOS Linux rebuild. But I don't actually expect that to happen enough to worry about in any case where you can justify not paying for actual supported RHEL in the first place.

> I'll never understand what led Apple to align itself w this overpriced junk.

I don't think Apple bought Beats for the headphones, really. They bought them for the recently-launched Beats Music streaming service, which is what became Apple Music, and the added music industry connections that came along with Jimmy Iovine and Dr. Dre.

(It's also my impression that Beats products released after the Apple acquisition have been getting somewhat better reviews in terms of sound quality, but it's not a brand I really keep track of, so that could be wrong!)

Oh absolutely. If one didn’t need the fancy new features of Adobe CS6, they could stay on CS5 as long as they wanted. But with CC, it’s a monthly fee regardless of if you use it at all that month.

But the flipside is that $10/month is a lot easier to stomach for most of the general public than a one time cost of $300+.

It’s why there’s monthly payment plans for everything expensive. $40/month for a (24 month) lease-to-own phone is a lot easier to budget for than a one time $900+tax purchase. But when I go to BestBuy or wherever, I have the option to choose the payment plan or upfront. Not with software.

>Apple is my hero in that regard, where you actually pay for the product experience instead for being part of some deeply troubling subculture where passionately debating about very expensive cables and gadgets without ever being able to pass a blind test on the claims is the norm, almost like cargo cult.

The lack of self-perception here is astonishing.

FYI, for those of us outside of the cult-of-Apple who watch how Apple sells phones with a bill of materials of $300 for $900+ to people who see them as a status symbol and a community of high-end influencers, we view Apple exactly as you describe here

The way you describe Apple as "selling an EXPERIENCE" instead of selling headphones perfectly demonstrates how the Apple cult transcends a product market and speaks emotionally to the Apple cult. You aren't buying headphones, you're buying into the Apple Experience(TM).

And finally I want to take a small laugh at the fact that you describe "THEM" as a creepy subculture and cargo cult, while in the same breath calling the Apple corporation "Your Hero"!! Cargo Cult is a great way to describe how we view you and your hero Apple.
Note the position of the hardest GPL defenders in this Github thread was that:

a) You need to have absolute 100% of the code ownership/copyright in order to change the project license. This is not true and there have been precedents where a valid and successful relicense was done with much less (if I remember correctly I learnt this from a comment somewhere hidden in that same Github issue)

b) The other project contributors would not necessarily agree with the relicense. Which was not the case: the most prominent contributors showed up and explicitly gave the author ownership (or free license) over their small parts of the code.
Yeah - 1) Personal emergency, 2) Professional emergency, 3) Trying to speak to other candidates, 4) Changed his mind, 5) Disorganised individual. In any case, he should drop a text especially when he agreed to speak.

Think back to any round of recent protests. People are passionate about their positions...they post about it on their chosen social media platform being completely unaware of the technical consequences. Later on, they "disappear" (wordage chosen because that's what happens to dissidents in China).

The point is that tons of people have no idea how to protect their own privacy. We can still advocate for protections in the same way we have warning labels on harsh cleaning chemicals.

It's worth noticing some subtly in this. Those companies tend to be OK with the GPLv2 but not the GPLv3. A question to ask and that'll help understand all of this is... why do big corp lawyers not like GPLv3 when they were fine with GPLv2?

It's not an issue of copyleft.

Note, IANAL. I've just talked with several about licenses.

It sucks for Chinese people that china is banning apps. However, I really see no connection between china doing bad things and me being ok with the US doing those same bad things. What is that argument? Like, china executes drug offenders. So, if the US proposed to do the same, but only two or three of them, am I meant to be ok with it because China does it more?
The first section had me screaming, YES, YES, YES... Now I don't have to write this very article about the difference between actually trusting and empowering your engineers and giving them little tasks to do.

A lot of the rest applies to big companies.

However, I would change the conclusion, because the thing is, the culture of "little tasks, little trust" has taken hold even where there is no bureaucracy and no specialization of roles. It happens at start-ups as small as three people.

The antidote is simple, in the start-up case: Give each person one or two big projects to focus on, based on their strengths and interests. Carve up the work by large areas, and give people ownership and responsibility. Look at each person as individual. If someone has no talent or interest in product decisions or UX decisions, they'll need support on those, or a project that doesn't require them. If they have interest and some talent, mentor them. If, as a company, you are trying to make progress on too many things in parallel, or have a shortage of talent in certain functional areas, be real about that.

Frameworks and style guides and even "database guys" aren't a problem, if they are good and support you. However, I think the ideal is probably to have small project teams that grow from one to, say, five people, each containing engineering, product, and team management talent, and not enforce conformity across project teams over team productivity and happiness.

Edit: Though honestly, a lot comes down to individual preferences. A lot of engineers love being handed a style guide. A lot of engineers love doing tasks off lists.

I think you're missing the point here. The point isn't coding in isolation is good, nor that we shouldn't break our work down into smaller tasks, it's that the developer should be given the responsibility and freedom to decide what those tasks are for their work, not dictated from above.

If I'm responsible for project A, I should be able to make 85% of the decisions for that project. Too often, recently, development organizations make every decision from above, then break that up into miniscule tasks that require no thought from developers.

Hackathons, IMO, are just gimmicks to gloss over a deficient product management group or software architecture. If your organization can't be convinced of the need to spend time on something outside of a gimmicky "hackathon", then something needs fixed.

I know I'm going to get hate for this, but I can't help but feel disappointed by the prioritization.

I'm younger than 50 and healthy, take social distancing and mask wearing seriously. Work from home, have pulled my kids out of school and now it looks like I'll basically be last in line to be vaccinated. Likely not until a year from now.

This, coupled with potential vaccination id requirements to travel

https://www.thelancet.com/journals/lancet/article/PIIS0140-6...

and the fact that our government (Trump Administration) apparently passed when given to opportunity to get a proper allotment of vaccine for who know what reason.

https://thehill.com/policy/healthcare/529212-trump-officials...

All feels like a slap in the face.

I only hope that those that pushed the idea that this was a hoax, who refused to social distance, or wear a mask will have the courage of their convictions and refuse to be vaccinated until after everyone else.

Audio (gear) is nowhere near to being a solved problem. One open problem is to match your own personal HRTF to your gear. Audio (production) is also not a solved problem. Your experience is decided by the recording/mixing engineer, and there may be multiple renderings possible of the same content. In much the same way, different conductors of the same orchestra can produce different flavors of the same composition. Then there is the spatial localization for games and movies, which is still not quite solved.

>And there's nothing wrong with that, it just annoys me when audiophiles try to justify their fashion statements with pseudo-science.

Yes, those people can get nutty, ignore them! Audio is much bigger than Audiophile :)

Having said that, with no pressure from consumers, why would anyone invest money in new headphone designs? I recently purchased a pair of planar magnetic headphones which used to be crummy when I tried them a few years back. The newer design is very efficient, the manufacturing process is also pretty solid, and the sound is fantastic.

> You can map, filter, reduce, chain, compose functions that all work with optionals, and lift functions that work on numbers (or any other type) to be functions that work on Optional<number> but none of that is even mentioned in this piece (likely cause then its harder to justify picking nullable types instead)

Maybe I'm missing something, but I don't see how that's special to option types. Here's a set of extension methods in Dart that provide the operations you describe:

extension NullableExtensions<T> on T? {
R? map<R>(R Function(T) transform) => this == null ? null : transform(this);

T? filter(bool Function(T) predicate) {
if (this == null) return null;
if (predicate(this)) return this;
return null;
}
}

extension FunctionExtensions<T, R> on R Function(T) {
R? Function(T?) lift() => (T? param) => param == null ? null : this(param);
}

extension NullableIterableExtensions<T> on Iterable<T?> {
Iterable<R?> map<R>(R Function(T) transform) =>
this.map((e) => e == null ? null : transform(e));

Iterable<T?> filter(bool Function(T) predicate) =>
where((e) => e == null || predicate(e));
}

Chaining has built-in syntax:

int? maybeInt = ...
print(maybeInt?.isEven.toString());

I'm not sure what you mean by "compose".

Of course, this is not entirely as expressive as option types because of the inability to nest, but the article is pretty clear that nesting is the major advantage of option types.
