I thought one of the big use cases for this was to track stolen items, like a backpack or maybe even a bicycle.

But the "anti-stalking" feature will notify someone if an AirTag they don't own appears to be traveling with them.

Does this render it useless for anti-theft, then? Since it will just notify a thief that the bike they just stole is being tracked, and they can look for the AirTag and throw it in the nearest trash can?

Not criticizing Apple here -- anti-stalking is super-important -- but just looking for clarification if this will help you find lost items, but not stolen ones.
To Build a “Liquidity Reactor”?
I had a 2003 530i, which didn't have aux in, nor bluetooth.

My use of the iBus was to emulate the CD changer in the trunk (basically just a heartbeat every 7s or so) which allowed me to use that line-in. I also picked up button presses on the bus in order to respond and control audio playback. Tied it all together by using a raspberry pi as a bluetooth sink and command hub between connected phone and the iBus.
> The purpose of increased prices is to incentivize more supply to come into the market.

It is true, though, that this only helps if more supply can come into the market quickly enough to help. If "more supply" means "more electrical power generation plants that will take five years to build", that's not something that increased prices in the short term can fix.

Another way of dealing with cases like that, however, is innovation: finding an alternative way to meet the same need that doesn't have the same supply problem. For example, if people know that their state's power grid is unreliable, they have more of an incentive to find ways to decrease their reliance on the grid--solar panels, individual homes with their own generators, etc. But that requires transparency--people have to know, well in advance of a problem happening, that their state's power grid is unreliable, so they can take action. Which means the government has to be honest in telling them what the state of the grid is. That, I think, is where the actual root problem often lies.
As someone who's never used Discord, what's it do better than Slack? Superficially other than aesthetics/integrations, they seem basically identical
and those games quickly stop being fun if you can't secure a win. This is why pure rogue games have given way to roguelikes designed to have meta progression to make it easier to eventually win, or see yourself making progress.

And yes, you stop even those games; eventually you hit a plateau where you see enough and dont advance in skill enough to shelve the game for something much better.

Ask HN: Feedback on a DevOps Newsletter
Hey folks ! I have started a DevOps newsletter as a side project recently, its called "DevOps Bulletin". The idea is simple, every Thursday you'll receive an email with the following:
- the top 5 posts of the week: no-bullshit, just concrete content curated by hand from Netflix, StackOverflow, Twitter engineering blogs .

- a podcast of the week to keep you updated with latest DevOps trends

- book of the week: self-development and professional growth are at the heart of DevOps Bulletin.

- an open source project that emerged on the DevOps scene.

Your thoughts on this ? Feedback is welcome https://devopsbulletin.com

FYI: The J&J vaccine directly injects DNA into the cell nucleus to begin spike protein production. DNA-based vaccines have been tested before (see J&J's Ebola vaccine), and I believe the general consensus is that mRNA is a safer technology due to its inherently short lifetime.
People have been saying this every year for half a decade now. But it's the same podcast as it ever was.

Eric Weinstein was fantastic, Freddie Gibbs and Brian Moses were hilarious, Tim Dillion was the exact amount of ridiculous you'd expect. Then there's the episodes with professors like Brian Greene and Avi Loeb, and then fighters like GSP and Dan Gable. Nothing has changed except the platform.
I'm using it for a major system in the industrial process control segment--our piece is a dashboard displaying timestream data and KPIs based on it, and detecting alert conditions and notifying people.

Were I to do it over again, I probably wouldn't choose node, but my problems with it haven't had to do with static typing or type errors--we don't use typescript. Where we've continually struggled is indeterminacy in process control and error handling and writing robust services in light of that.

Super disappointed they won't completely redesign the remote. I've never been so frustrated with a piece of hardware.

- It's so small/light/slippery that it slides towards where you're sitting on the couch. Inevitably this means you'll press one of the buttons with your leg unless you put it away on a coffee table after every use.

- Unless you use Siri or your phone, text input is literally swiping back and forth across a single array of characters. You can swipe in any direction on the remote... why would they make text a single row instead of a keyboard layout?

- There's no "back" button. With TV you are often switching back and forth between two shows, a feature virtually every TV remote has had for 20+ years. I get the remote is supposed to be general purpose, but this is such a common interaction.

edit: for some reason the submission link brought me to an old marketing page. I refreshed and looks like they did indeed redesign the remote, sucks I had to waste time writing my rant. :D

SaaS gets hated on too much here. The incentives work out as well for desktop software - there's no longer the incentive to add new features to justify customers purchasing a new version (or withhold features until the new version). The problem I've seen is that it almost always comes with a big price hike when compared to an alternative of upgrading every 3 years. The only exception to this I can think of is Office 365 which still remains a deal.
How about montonony and repetition?

There are > 1000 episodes of JRE, each 1-3 hours long. An enormous amount of repetition results from this. I have watched less than 50 episodes and I know I have to FFWD when Rogan starts talking about divorce laws in California, using the same example of one unnamed friend who lost everything to his ex-wife.

Podcasts with other comedians are unlistenable due to the constant navel-gazing about The Comedy Store and cancel culture.
The ethernet port is built into the power adapter, which is a pretty nifty idea.

This is truly revolutionary for pet owners. All existing solutions I know of have at least one fault-intolerant property that makes them useless for the lost-pet use case (battery / size / unreliable connection coverage / etc.)

If I understand correctly Apple tags solve all of these at once.
Its B2C software so its fundamentally designed for consumers - individual users and community creators.

Slack, Teams etc. are B2B so end-users are forced to adopt it.

The UX of both reflects this.

My speculation:

The iOS device keeps seeing a random AirTag in close proximity. Even as the ID rotates, it's still about 2m away, and continues to be 2m away as you move. It doesn't know who it belongs to, but it's probably the same physical device, because it keeps going to wherever you're going.

That's a different scenario than the evil store owner who wants to track their customers. In that case, it's just a random procession of tags roaming about the store. A tag arriving at the store on repeated days has nothing to indicate that it's the same one.

So if it's being used as a malicious tracker (hidden in someone's car or purse), then the constant proximity is a clue. But if someone is trying to guess which tag belongs to a specific person, they can't unless they maintain constant contact with that tag over a long timeline. At that point, they can just see you :)

Prices shouldn't rise if you are allowed to build enough supply to meet demand. A lack of property interest isn't necessarily a bad thing for a place. Land isn't for speculation, it's for use.

I'm not sure if it it will ever go as wide but it does seem to be going that way.

I don't know if you consider this a technological advantage, but compared to Slack, Discord puts a relatively heavy emphasis on its live voice channel functionality. You can join and leave them at a whim, mute and control the volume of individual users, etc.

I personally also appreciate the fact that channels and servers can be grouped, and that the markup syntax supported in text chat is more compliant with markdown expectations than the markup supported by Slack.

Yes I understand the risk is low, but its higher than the one in a million number everyone is throwing around. Potentially much higher as I suspect that cases in men haven't been reported.
It's an interesting Q.

It is possible to make an "integrated GPU" that lives together with a CPU inside the CPU electrical interface.

Inside that interface you could make something that has only GPU resources or just the minimal CPU resources it would take to control the GPU (say one x86 core and a lot of that Xe stuff) -- if somebody with the resources makes the part.

Dedicated GPU use special graphics DRAM -- the PS4+ and Xbox One+ actually use graphics DRAM for the whole (or most) memory and do pretty good for visual synthesis and simulation!
Moreover, I can only imagine how much grief the Armagnacs went through. It would make for a good opera. (I'm not trying to minimize the grief of the others, but just imagine if a ton of people from one family died - the grief must be different, devastating.) The one analogue I can think of is Mehmet III's summary execution of 19 of his (half)brothers when he ascended the throne.

I kind of miss the simplicity of SharpDevelop at times... Haven't touched it in years and the Xamarin Studio (Now VS for Mac) never felt as nice to me.

These days, I spend most of my time in VS Code, I frankly don't know if it's less overhead than VS, but it's definitely more responsive. I can't stand working on web projects in VS proper. The plugin model for Code just seems to work so much better in practice. Definitely learned from the past, even if it's a web app, it still works really well compared to alternatives. Integrated terminal and unobtrusive directory tree are godsends.
All of those places are probably less likely to stay obscure or will blow up quicker due to the internet.
Downvoted because this is literally addressed in the article:

> AirTag is also designed with a set of proactive features that discourage unwanted tracking, an industry first. Bluetooth signal identifiers transmitted by AirTag rotate frequently to prevent unwanted location tracking. iOS devices can also detect an AirTag that isn’t with its owner, and notify the user if an unknown AirTag is seen to be traveling with them from place to place over time. And even if users don’t have an iOS device, an AirTag separated from its owner for an extended period of time will play a sound when moved to draw attention to it. If a user detects an unknown AirTag, they can tap it with their iPhone or NFC-capable device and instructions will guide them to disable the unknown AirTag.
I've read that quality is largely limited by optics, and optics are limited by space in the MacBook line (just a few mm). Not sure why Apple wouldn't improve it on the iMac (a few cm depth to work with!).
That's really cool man!

Many of the competitors are entirely disposable. I’m not aware of any very small ones that are rechargeable.
Brand; the days of “technological advantage” as a differentiator are over. Technology progress has plateaued in a great many industries over the last decade so it’s all about the product experience these days.

Honestly tho, Google could instantly leapfrog its competitors in the space by acquiring Discord. The Google ecosystem is desperately in need of a decent collaboration tool and everything Google tried to build in that space is shit.

Postgres looks like the only interesting entry here.

K8s and Android have a major corporation backing them, which extracts value from them in its internal operation anyway. They are such products that using them by competition commoditizes said competition. Android on like 95% of phones outside China has very important proprietary parts, making it hardly compatible with a bunch of top-tier apps.

BSD OSes don't do excessively well, with regard to market share and mind share. They are reasonably healthy though.

In my opinion, at some point, there will be a lot more voters who don't have houses than there are that do. When that happens, there will be a strong incentive to level the playing field and increase property taxes, reduce tax benefits and in general, degrade some of the financial incentives to have a house.
What would the outlook be if Discord was bought by Microsoft?
At this point they might as well call it AppOS since macOS, iPadOS and iOS can potentially run both of each others apps.

Corporate greed is for sure a problem, but... does Discord even make money? I'm guessing their S-1 will reveal that they are ludicrously unprofitable, and they will actually have to fix that if they go public, corporate greed or no.

In general, I try not to fall in love with free products that seem too good to be true, because the party has to come to an end at some point.

Iron. That doesn't contradict that fusing more hydrogen with iron is energeticaly favorable, as the binding energy of hydrogen is zero. So you still get energy from fusing it into iron.
It depends on what you mean by "combine". If you are releasing a Linux distro that has as one piece of software Grafana, you'll be fine.

If your software is in effect an extension of Grafana, you will need to release source code under AGPLv3.

I'm super excited to see them figure out/be comfortable with a detached Touch ID.

I've wanted my watch to be set as a Touch ID, or my wireless keyboard for my mac mini, and historically Apple seemed like they'd only allow physically attached Touch ID.

I'm very curious how that works logistically, and if they'll make the keyboards compatible with other Apple products.

I remember when the AGPL was being talked about in around 2008 or so, and thinking it was ludicrous. Now I wonder if it's too lenient. AWS is just rebranding open source products and selling access for infinite markups while killing the open economy that created them.

I recall with some relish a comment I read on the Seattle subreddit a while back. The commenter was furious at how all of the recent transplants were screwing up their previously wonderful city. Eventually, they happened to mention that they themselves had moved to Seattle from California less than a year prior.

There is a real thing going on in the US today, a sort of inchoate rage felt at all of the poorly defined "others". My hunch is that much of it stems from the rising anxieties of climate change, economic inequality, corporate political control, and even more recently the pandemic. Everyone needs to feel they have a certain level of agency and control in the world. It's hard to sleep at night if you don't even feel certain that your bed will still be there when you wake up.

The world today often feels like we are ants surrounded by lumbering billionaire and corporate giants, hoping not to get stepped on while we watch climate change slowly dissolve the ground beneath us. People naturally cling to any remaining pieces of agency they can find, and lash out when even that tiny inch is taken from them. So when I see people screaming at a waitress for insisting they put on a mask, or sneering at someone visiting their beloved hiking trail, I wonder if it's only because there is no convenient face they can yell at for all of the larger forces that have actually marginalized them.
Usually the MP3 source file is exposed on the web page. Sometimes I can right click and hit "Save as" and download the file directly (works on mobile too).

This is not true. Compile times are usually much better with modules. They also don't inhibit parallelism, but perhaps you are referring to this paper (http://www.open-std.org/jtc1/sc22/wg21/docs/papers/2019/p144...), which shows that, with compiler versions from 2019, it can indeed be slower to compile with modules if you have a large number of threads and the depth of the module dependency graph is large.

IF you want a really ridicilous example of Microsoft's inability to deal with UX, try changing literally anything that has to do with sound in Windows, and tell me how many separate sound-related configuration applications there are, and what are the paths to opening them.

Then, ask someone who never used Windows XP to explain to you what each of those configuration applications is responsible for. (So they won't be able to lean on the crutch of "Oh, this one is the exact same thing as the sound application in Windows 98...")
