Who do you trust (brand wise) to get it right. Does someone get it right? I'm sure, but my guess is if you did brand survey's, people would KNOW that apple gets it pretty right, and most players don't.

That's partly because apple ignore HN. I need a modulare phone that I can ugprade the ram on. Apple is ignoring you, they seal their phones up with epoxy so they are pretty darn waterproof. But for normal users, this is a positive.

They call out fake third party batteries. OH NO says HN. For normal users, a plus again.

They offer BY FAR the longest and most reliable operating system support. First gen ipad pro's STILL have value! My old android tablet has been unsupported since the DAY I bought it.

Or built in junkware and adware. If I buy a samsung TV can I be pretty sure it won't datamine my viewing habits? Even top competitors turn out to be basically scammers. Will you guarantee me that samsung won't jam ads onto my TV after I buy it?

"Towards the end of 2019, owners have started to voice their dissatisfaction with larger, increasingly obtrusive, and unrelated ads showing up on their Samsung TVs. These include ads for canned beans or discount supermarkets" - this is on $2,500+ frame art TV's etc.

It turns out, despite your claims, these other very large companies selling very expensive items are scamming folks to often, it only takes getting burned ONCE by this to just reduce your circle of trust dramatically.

Is there a perfect bluetooth device out there? Sure. If I go through the amazon listings will I find that device? I doubt it. If I buy from apple will I get it? I think so.

The price of these headphones is ridiculous, I don't defend that. If they are able to sell them at this price I'll be a bit surprised. But overall, they have built user trust up pretty high.

> Bose QC35 II for example can store multiple bluetooth connections on the device and switch between them

I have these and it’s annoying to switch them because they’re stored and switched via the app - if you’re switching between more than 2 devices.

The Bose anc also don’t have particularly good audio either so I’m interested to see what the Apple offering sounds like.

In general, there’s a bunch of little annoyances with the current anc devices available (audio quality, uncomfortable, ugly, etc) that I’d like to see Apple fix.

I am a Linux kernel contributor and former golang and chromium contributor and to be honest the latter experiences makes me leary about contributing to another Google project.

There generally tends to be an insular 'cathedral' rather than 'bazaar' approach to Google projects where those working for the company get considerably more say and control than outside contributors.

The whole issue I have with it is that they pretend otherwise. With go many people laboured under the misapprehension that they could have more input than was actually possible. Not so different with chromium.

The cathedral model is fine but be honest about it.

With the Linux kernel if you have a good idea and can defend it you have a genuine chance of contributing. So I know my limited spare time efforts aren't wasted. With fuchsia I couldn't be so sure.

I hope I am wrong but the fact they are only now taking potential contributions suggests otherwise.

This isn't the case for me in the mid-Atlantic region. Prime used to mean "free 2 day shipping", but it hasn't necessarily been that way even before the pandemic. Yeah, it's free, but it'll get there when it gets there, often after the estimated delivery day. Often the day after they say it was delivered.
the current airpod pro's don't "just work". On numerous occasions the right/left airpod gets unpaired. The charge level of each piece is independent, which is odd considering both are placed in/out of ear simultaneously. There are even issues with the UI on the iphone to show the charge level. I have to open/close between 2-3 times to be prompted with the screen.

Having said that, as a whole, the airpods do "just work" more than other bluetooth headphones, especially with the case that holds a charge.

You're using the term "traditional database" two levels up. Whatever your definition of that is, it's their definition of "database".

Your initial post says "I have a different definition of 'database'", which is different than anyone else's, as you acknowledge when you refer to that common definition as a 'traditional database'.

Then, you fault them for making an argument that is invalid for your non-standard definition of a database!

You would like Kafka, the author.
You already have to install software that inserts itself into the audio stack and introduces extra latency to be able to use your wireless headphones. Those are called "Bluetooth drivers".

In any case, I run processing on my computer to apply a convolution filter on my audio stack with adds around 2.3ms of latency and uses 0.15% of my CPU. Compared to the ~200ms of Bluetooth latency it's completely unnoticeable, and I'm sure Apple can figure this out better than I can.
FWIW, one useful tidbit from Uncle Bob that I keep thinking about is how the number of working programmers has doubled every five years.

That insight helped me calm down quite a bit. Because noobs are being produced faster than best practices can percolate.

This.

There is the "small business plan" which reduces it down to $500/year, which isn't outrageous, but it's still $500 for something I probably won't get that value out of because of the likelihood of the project ever finishing.

Instead, I'll find other ways to do it. If Qt was free under $X, $500 under $Y, and $$$ over $Y it's a much more persuasive argument. Unreal manage it :)
I'm also a big fan of opensuse lately especially their tumbleweed microos. it's such a breeze to use transactional-update (automatically) and reboot a fleet with some looking mechanism (even with k8s kured).

> many Android devices and apps are useless without Google's proprietary services.

And not, in fact, open source. Due to the non-GPL license, every single Android device out there is effectively running a closed-source fork of AOSP.

I had an old Samsung device automatically install TikTok when I powered it on after sitting in a drawer for years. TikTok didn't even exist when I bought the phone, yet someone with more control over my device than me sold the remote access (they gave themselves, without my consent) to TikTok.

Of course this is not a new development, but the proprietary BS and Google's increasingly evil actions over the past decade really highlight how much of a problem that is. Trusting Fuchsia is just repeating that mistake.
What is your point? MacDonalds make the best hamburgers because they sell so many of them? Windows is the best OS because billions of people use it?

>Do your "solved problem" bluetooth headphones allow EASY audio sharing when the kid is sleeping and you want to watch something with your wife? These are two bluetooth devices on same audio stream.

So in your mind, 'solving' a problem is buying not one, but TWO $500 headphones instead of $10 earbuds and a $5 Y connector? Oh wait, you also believe that the headphone jack is stupid. Yeah, sure, sell people a $1000 solution for a problem you created. Great job!

Veblen goods as defined on the Wikipedia page (Veblen himself is more careful) are a bit of a spook, a product which sells more every time the price is raised to no limit is of course impossible.

In contradiction to your post which I replied to, Apple has raised the price of their flagship iPad and iPhone, and continued to bust through sales records. That's Veblen enough for me.

They have also lowered the price of their most affordable product in a category, and in any case, this being tech, each new product isn't the same as the predecessor, which complicates the analysis.

I don't think "people buy the latest flagship iPhone because it's expensive" is as true for Apple as it is for, say, BMW.

But it's reasonably true, and there's a trope to go with it: Apple keeps releasing products where the commentariat say "that's so much money for an X! who is going to buy this?" and then sell millions of that product.
RabbitMQ and Kafka serve different needs.

RabbitMQ is the most widely used open source implementation of the AMQP protocol. It is slower but can support complex routing scenarios internally and handle situations were at-least-once-delivery guarantees are important. RabbitMQ supports on-disk persistent queues, which you can tune if you like. Compared to Kafka, RabbitMQ is slow in terms of volume that can be managed per queue.

Kafka is fast because it is horizontally scalable and you have parallel producers and consumers per topic. You can tune the speed and move needle where you need between consistency and availability. However, if you want things like at-least-once-delivery and such, you'll have to use the building blocks kafka gives you, but ultimately you'll have to handle this on the application side.

Regarding storage, by default kafka stores data for 7 days. IIRC the NY Times stores articles from 1970 onwards on kafka clusters. The storage is horizontally scalable and durable. This is a common use case. As many have pointed out, the cluster setup depends highly on you needs. We store data for 7 days in kafka as well and it's in the order of 500GB or more per node.

Looks like you have a configuration issue. You can configure rabbitMQ to store queues on the hard disk and with a quick calculation you can make sure you have enough space for 10 or 150 hours of data. I don't see any reason to switch to kafka, a different tool with different characteristics, just because you need more storage.
By what definition of high quality?

If what OP is saying is true, then a $50 over-ear pair of Koss headphones will be more reliable and have fewer daily annoyances than most bluetooth-only headphones. And while I'm sure plenty of people disagree about bluetooth reliability, enough people here do seem agree with them that their comment is the first one you see when you enter the discussion.

I don't believe audio quality is perceptible enough that you need to spend $500 on a pair of wired headphones. But even if I did believe that audio quality was perceptible enough to require that kind of money, I also don't believe that the AirPods Max are going to match the raw specs or numbers of those $500 wired devices. And regardless, that's all kind of besides the point. The AirPods Max have plenty of exciting features tacked on, but those features aren't the primary reason why OP is excited -- they're excited because:

> I want to put them on and they need to make noise.

Well, you don't need to spend $500 to get that. Wired headphones were good at that. That was never a question or a concern that anybody had about them. Even with the awful low-quality $15-$20 solutions, you never doubted walking out of the store that when you plugged them into any audio device, sound was going to instantly come out of them as soon as you pressed the play button, even if it was a phone that your friend owned, even if it was a random ATM on a street corner, even if it was a 5 year old MP3 player or game console. They just worked.
Lattice has a worship $10 iCE40 series. I'm playing with iCE40HX8K at the moment (Olimex iCE40HX8K-EVB board). I was able to configure a RV32I based SoC with APB3, UART, Timer, RAM and SDRAM controller that fits in 2500 LUTs. I'm using SpinalHDL, which appeared to be a very convenient object oriented way of defining your hardware. SpinalHDL is a Scala based HDL language (Chisel from HiFive is another one, also Scala based) that compiles to a very long Verilog file which you then feed to IceStorm toolchain (Yosys) to synthesize bitstream for FPGA. It also allows to incorporate RV32I binary which deploys right into BRAM of your FPGA after startup. I think iCE40 is a very good FPGA to start learning open source design tools.

> Isn't this the same as computer nerds talking about how much they're spending on their graphics card or their motherboard or whatever?

GPUs have measurable performance benefits. Many people tend to buy more expensive parts than they need and there are diminishing returns (justified as "futureproofing"), but at the end of the day you can easily run reproducible benchmarks to determine exactly how much performance you bought.

Audio quality is much more subjective and there's a whole lot of snake oil. You can certainly recognize a higher quality pair of cans to an extent, but price is not necessarily correlated with quality.
Well this sucks... IBM/RedHat is really shooting themselves in the foot here. Stable CentOS versions have always been my go-to for VPS services. Install it once and you're good -- plus no Ubuntu snap stuff... I have 5+ CentOS 8 installs and I was really banking on the LTS timeline. I wish they would have kept that going alongside their CentOS 7 support.

I'm debating whether or not to downgrade to CentOS 7 to at least keep going until 2024, instead of 2021 with CentOS 8.

Hopefully, some other player steps up and creates a similar offering.

Also, I've been irked lately about them deprecating virt-manager and pushing podman. I don't mind alternatives, just keep the feature parity when you switch. Cockpit is fairly limited compared to virt-manager.
I heartily agree with everything the parent says other than "Word is a pretty mediocre product". Advanced functionality like field codes allow you to get surprisingly deep.

Inflation. For whatever reason inflation has been very slow for some time now. If it ever starts to speed up, the fed will tighten the monetary supply quickly to keep it under control.
> There are plenty of developing and underdeveloped countries where that’s how it works.

My impression of developing countries was that police are vicious, brutal, and corrupt by default. As opposed to the US where bad cops are the exception. And they have very little oversight. Which countries are you talking about where that's not the case?
Maybe if you stay in the ecosystem. I used an end of 2013 Macbook Pro at work that was bought for a research project. Latest hardware at the time. Had all kinds of problems connecting it to my Android phone. Apple "just works" is a myth. I have had as many problems with Apple hardware as with most other hardware. The chances that some random device will "just work" is probably highest for Windows 10. I'm saying that as a Linux user (by choice) and sometimes forced Windows 10 and OSX user.

I also recall some issues when developing Arduino stuff because of the USB connection to the Arduino.

If you want to talk put a headphone in the outer ear, and you can still talk softly to each other. Headphones are super immersive sounding. And if you have the pros, you set them to transparency mode. You can still talk, but kids won't hear the movie.
Right, but both of us believe that the OP didn’t know about the alternatives, so they clearly were saying they did want Apple.

If you want to claim that they would change their mind about wanting Apple if they knew about the alternatives, that is unlikely but not impossible.

However when they made the comment, they clearly did want Apple because otherwise they wouldn’t have cared about whether anyone ‘stopped Apple’.

The bypassing has to do with exerting their control despite user wishes. Hiding “complexity” from users is one method that is at the core of Apple’s brand.

Yes, very smart people uncover this kind of thing regularly, but the trend feels like Apple is just trying to refine the process until they have a “perfectly secure” device by virtue of the fact that not even legitimate owners are able to enforce their wishes when those wishes are counter to Apple’s mandates.
Sometimes the opposite is true. Sometimes presenting yourself as a "dark-traits" individual with no moral compass and no remorse is the correct action, even when you do have an internal moral compass that would stop you.

In the face of bullies, it's better to pretend to be unbridled like them, than be exploited by them. Deterrence and unpredictability are sometimes desirable traits. Sometimes pretending to have no moral boundaries will lead to less boundaries being tested.

Presenting red-lines and boundaries can be impossible for people whose moral code is known and predictable. Threatening with an immoral reaction is sometimes the most effective way to deal with bullies, and it's not really immoral as long as you don't do it.

Look at how Obama drew red lines in Syria that were trampled, and provoked to the edge of his reaction. It's all a result of his moral compass being an open book.

On the other hand, Trump doesn't even need to draw a red line. Being known as unpredictable was more deterring than any action Obama did.

I never argued that point. I just said that it makes no sense to make the vast majority of that processing in the headphone when your phone and computer already have specialized hardware to do it.

Also, DACs today are pretty much transparent.

For example, for positional audio and driver/amp compensation, people already do the same as Klipsch does in software on their computer. You just need a good enough microphone and then you can do it by your own using REW and EqualizerAPO, for example.
