Teams is terrible to use for occasional use with personal login. I always had issues using it until I figured out that I need to empty the app cache before joining a meeting. Whenever I see a Teams link in an invite, I join 5 minutes ahead of time to clear my cache and test my audio and video.

But I am told that there is no such problem in Teams with enterprise SSO. Also I have other friends who are quite happy with it. Personally, I can empathize more with OP. MS Teams is a terrible software which seems out of place among the modern era clients.
I mean... that's not especially unreasonable; FOSS-first is absolutely a reasonable move, and there's a whole discussion upthread about using the browser version or dialing in with an actual phone. Certainly some people are stuck, but many people can absolutely avoid this.
its the best msging app. the features are wonderful and their art style and ux is fabulous.
Mixing the car radio and actual critical systems (backup camera) doesn't seem like a great idea. Especially when the car manufacturer doesn't control the entire system. I know nothing about the supply chain for car radios, but I wouldn't be surprised if it was all made by some secondary supplier, so Mazda doesn't even necessarily have the code to the section they need to patch.

But, I'm honestly more surprised that it's a Mazda specific issue. I would have expected for the same bug to hit multiple infotainment systems.
I don’t necessarily think it’s a scam but am rather skeptical of the way that the results get measured and reported.
Did they do that in order to make room for the Internet? I assume the channels switched instantaneously because they were broadcasting every single one to your home simultaneously. But maybe they wanted more room on the existing wires to store Internet traffic? So they changed the channel change button to ping a server to ask for the other channel to be broadcast. Could anyone confirm if my understanding is accurate? Either way, it definitely ruined the TV viewing experience. But for the Internet, it was worth it.
I think the idea is that a candidate might have a bad interview or not click with a given interviewer, and so doing a few interviews averages this effect out a bit. At least at Google, every interviewer has their history and overall calibration tracked, where the calibration is, I believe, something to do with how much your scores match the other interviewers' scores. This is probably fairer overall, albeit more expensive for the company and the candidate.
> ... the only benefit to listening to the radio would be to stumble upon new music

This benefit has gone down a lot since the late 90s. There's a nice wikipedia article on it. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radio_homogenization

That said, I recommend listening to college radio wherever you are. I truly love the station from my hometown, WHRW broadcasting from Binghamton University. What a strange and beautiful melange.
It works. And it is kind of fun!
I think the chart is meant to be an approximated summary, not a precise timeline down to sub-year intervals. Even though Intel has fallen somewhat behind compared to norm, I think they should still be considered "leading edge". The "Intel 7" process (formerly known as Intel 10nm process) is comparable in transistors per mm^2 with TSMC 7nm. Really, we should all drop the "nm" naming conventions and simply go with transistors per mm^2 for a given design pattern.
The scale is really astounding. You're underestimating.
I remember hearing hydroxychloroquine conspiracy theories well into the election of November 2020. In particular, when Trump revealed his positive diagnosis, plenty of people were talking about Hydroxychloroquine at that point.

That crap was disproved 5 months earlier, and plenty of people still didn't get the news.
I contacted the implant manufacturer when I became aware of the issue.. apparently there is even a warning that ultrasonics can damage it.. but it's not clear to me if that's just legalese or if it's actually a clear and present danger.

I haven't contacted Lutron yet which is bad of me, and I really should do that, but I don't think they would care since the amount of people who can identify that there's a problem with their devices is small.
99% Invisible found out that Mazda has a bug in their radio that cannot parse special characters. See their article here: https://99percentinvisible.org/episode/the-roman-mars-mazda-...
I think someone might have found a way to deliver malware over the air just like tv's can get updates over the air. Unless you have a SDR listening and logging you wont spot the hacks, but digital transmissions make it easier to deliver multiple signals so you can deliver fake radio stations, tv programmes all sorts.

Hacking digital equipment is a very creative job as many will know and the one's who have the most experience are the military, been doing to other country's before consumer electronics made it possible to hack their own population.

I cant even say follow the money because alot of countries can and do print what they like.
Can’t you turn on in your bank app to get a push notification immediately on every transaction? I have this turned on for both of my credit card accounts, so literally within a second or two of tapping or inserting (whether physical card, or Apple Pay on the watch or phone) I get a notification telling me how much was just charged to my card.

Useful for double checking that something hasn’t gone wrong and I haven’t been charged the wrong amount! I’d also see if a fraudulent transaction went through.
Yep, that is the case I was referring to. I hadn't heard about the autopsy results. I apologize. My claim was somewhere between imprecise and wrong.
This reminds me about an anecdote about how stock market works I heard when I was young. The story goes like,

It was autumn, and the Red Indians on the remote reservation asked their New Chief if the winter was going to be cold or mild. Since he was a Red Indian chief in a modern society, he couldn't tell what the weather was going to be.

Nevertheless, to be on the safe side, he replied to his Tribe that the winter was indeed going to be cold and that the members of the village should collect wood to be prepared.

But also being a practical leader, after several days he got an idea.

He went to the phone booth, called the National Weather Service and asked "Is the coming winter going to be cold?" "It looks like this winter is going to be quite cold indeed," the meteorologist at the weather service responded.

So the Chief went back to his people and told them to collect even more Wood.

A week later, he called the National Weather Service again. "Is it Going to be a very cold winter?" "Yes," the man at National Weather Service again replied, "It's definitely going to be a very cold winter. "

The Chief again went back to his people and ordered them tocollect every scrap of wood they could find. Two weeks later, he called the National Weather Service again. "Are you absolutely sure that the winter is going to be very cold?"

"Absolutely" , the man replied. "It's going to be one of the coldest winters ever. " "How can you be so sure?" the Chief asked. The weatherman replied, "The Red Indians are collecting wood like Crazy."
> Saying "it's easy to shoot yourself in the foot with C" is not constructive criticism because what's easy for you could be difficult for me.

That’s a fair point. Unfortunately I think that in order to really talk about the pros and cons, we’d need a relatively specific situation. Toy examples are just that… toy examples. FWIW most of the time I will make language choices based on the expected lifetime of a particular project, the relative expertise of team members working on a project, and the ease of delivering bug fixes.
I'll answer your question directly.

There's a big (one of biggest) travel e-commerce company that hires in the Netherlands. I wont fully endorse the company, but from what I can see, there are groups dedicated to appreciating neurodiversity (and others for lgbt stuff and the like).

You can try over there.
Honestly they should. Most videos have zero views.

Zero.

Not even the owners watching them to make sure they uploaded correctly.
> Well that's a walk back. You said they were irrelevant to the rest of the market. Now it's a foundry customer couldn't pay any amount of money. Of course. (Well not strictly true, Intel did try to get into the foundry business and did get a customer or two, they just didn't do well https://semiwiki.com/semiconductor-manufacturers/intel/7912-...)

I was maybe not clear: Intel was irrelevant from the perspective of a foundry customer because their service was not for sale; it didn't matter what node they were at. Of course for foundries themselves, Intel was (and to some extent still is) relevant as a benchmark and as a technology leader.

> I don't see how the argument has been made. Limiting physics was limiting in 2015 as well. Progress has still been made, and progress will almost certainly continue to be made for at least several more node, just at a slowing rate.

I agree with this statement and it's compatible with what I said above.

> This is going into conspiracy theory territory.

Uh.

Do you think Google is being completely transparent with the public about things that are being said about Google Cloud in board meetings?

I didn't say they're going to just fall over dead. Obviously landing huge subsidies or government support would change the equation. But while Intel management is certainly aware of the state of things, they're not going to ensure a self-fulfilling prophecy by broadcasting pessimism.

What they're not going to try to do is regain the process crown because it's a fool's errand. That's what I said. It might bear emphasis that that is different from competing at the leading edge.
This may be pedantic but I wouldn't call a backup camera critical, people need to learn how to drive and parallel park without those aides.

I sure would be pissed if I had a car with a backup camera and something like this bricked the big center screen in my car, however.
Gosh I thought it was going to be some hardass PDE questions.

> Radios used to be mechanical devices - punch a button and the new station would immediately start playing. Same for tvs.

There's a UX lesson here somewhere.

Especially in cars I vastly prefer mechanical controls for things like the stereo.
This reminds me of an episode of Jim Henson's TV series Dinosaurs where a space rock hits the Sinclairs' house, and the insurance refuses to pay out. Because they had "meteor" insurance, so their house would only be covered if it was floating in the upper atmosphere at the time of the strike. Instead, the insurance said their house was hit with a meteorite (a meteor that reached the ground), which wasn't covered under their policy.
Off by many years. Ford was shipping "electronic" and "premium" radio head units in the 1970s that had electronic tuners with scan and seek functions.
I’d love to know more about this too.
Snort it (hurts really bad for 5-10 minutes, afterwards okay, redosing takes its toll though...) can help with the nausea. I make a solution so that I can use a nose spray to dispense about 2-5mg per pump. Then I can redose every 15 minutes until I get to a dosage I enjoy.

There is a problem with quality at Zoom. My day to day job involves dealing with servers and valuable data, I already made it clear that I can’t use the zoom app for safety concerns. That being said, I don’t believe zoom has malicious goals, they are just not very security minded (or knowledgeable). I believe they like to take shortcuts that put your machine, data and privacy at risk
It's estimated that about 260g of CO2 is emitted per kg of liquid oxygen delivered to end users.

And the oxidizer to fuel ratio is 2.5, so basically this doubles the impact.

(And let's not get started on the rest of energy intensive things involved in space launch).

Yes, space launch isn't ridiculously energy intensive, but it does put the 777 to shame.
The definition of survivor bias though
Funny you suggest that -- I ran into a similar frustration with a Ford running Microsoft SYNC (voice command system) in 2008. If you hit the phone button while a phone was not set up via bluetooth, that would disable the rest of the sound system (i.e. anything other than telling you it can't find a phone). No matter which button you pushed, it couldn't switch away from the phone.

Only by stopping and restarting the engine could you get out. [1]

But these Mazdas can't even get out that way!

The "money" reason is they don't want to sink money into developing the game/DRM for Linux, given its small marketshare - they can still claim that they support the Steam Deck with Windows installed, so that comparison doesn't work.
> punch a button and the new station would immediately start playing. Same for tvs.

I think you're missing the part where the day to day changing conditions mean you have to switch the station then either accept the static or fine tune the station every couple of days. The switching was instant, but I still had to spend time tweaking it and count that as latency-to-ready.

Especially in the cars, without the automatic fine tuning you needed to adjust the frequency depending on where you were at the time.

I have heard that one of Signal's goals are mass adoption, so it's presumed that some compromise is required to make this happen. I hope they continue to push the envelope toward more transparency. This was an enlightening and educational discussion. thank you.
Really the question of whether that particular sentence "The record books are clear[1], so then are we deadnaming when referring to actual events that took place while Bruce Jenner was competing in the Olympics?" is or is not "deadnaming" turns on the tense or temporal sense of the name "Bruce".

> We know that Caitlyn Jenner never won gold medals...

No, that's wrong. We know she did win medals when she was still a man going by the name Bruce. Changing gender didn't unwin those medals, eh? Likewise "no woman has ever won Olympic gold in men's events." is true, but she wasn't a woman when she won the medals.

> how can Caitlyn Jenner have possibly won those gold medals?

A man named Bruce won some medals and then became a woman named Caitlyn.

It really seems like you're making a mountain out of a molehill. Is this a problem you have run into in real life? "Caitlyn" and "Bruce" aren't two different humans beings, both names refer to the same person just at different times in their life. Just as a child grows into an adult and then into a old person, there is a change, but we don't consider these to be different entities, eh?
The Problem with Crypto Payments
Agree. I've been hoping for a PostgreSQL extension with in-built sharding (think Netezza or Teradata). I know this is ambiguous so a low-effort definition is in order: a tightly bound cluster (nodes are aware of each other and share data to fulfill queries) where you specify distribution for a table but there is no explicit rebalancing command. Admins can add nodes and the user is none-the-wiser (except for improved performance, of course). Cross-node joins work (reasonably) well. I've been watching Citus for a while but - unless I'm misunderstanding - the sharding is a bit more explicit and sometimes manual.
Right? I don't get it. The common advice is that one shouldn't speak with these analysts and it will just hurt your chances. Like they're hiring people who will then reach out to founders and then not make investments?
eVTOLs are just helicopters powered by electricity. They are still susceptible to all the same things that cause accidents with any other type of aircraft. Imagine a loud drone but scale it up 100x and then picture thousands of these flying over city streets. It's insane and impractical.

Is there any standard system where each byte/word maps to one character/grapheme? I feel there is a general sentiment that not being able to jump to the Nth character is programmatically.. irritating and disappointing. I'm sure such a system wouldn't support some languages - but in the words of Lord Farquaad "That's a sacrifice I'm willing to make". Most of the world's languages would do just fine and it'd make sense to exclude right to left arabic ligatured text in, for instance, your monospaced computer code.

I'm guessing you could extract a subset of UTF-8 - but has anyone done anything like that?

The meticulous and tedious, often thankless nature of scientists and their work. Also a nice strategy to implement for some other projects/fields.
Growing up in the 90s my experience was that you turned a knob until you heard what you wanted to hear, and as you traveled you occasionally had to jiggle the knob as the signal shifted. I don't remember any time where a delay was introduced for terrestrial radio.

Imagine you plug a dumb terminal into an RS232 port. The computer may have already sent some data. Or it may be in the middle of sending log messages to the console as you plug in.

With a code like this, your dumb terminal can be built so it just automatically works. Without it, the terminal may be off by some number of bytes, and you have to have some sort of other (probably manual) synchronization procedure.

Similarly, imagine you've dialed in over modem to a remote system. You get some errors or lost text due to noise on the phone line. Or some bytes are lost due to bad RS232 flow control or no flow control. Your terminal emulator would be able to recover.

There might also be uses where text is broadcast, such as in TV closed captions, although maybe those have their own framing so you know where strings begin.

I use zoom in the browser, and this my experience every time:

1. On first opening the link, a browser confirmation window immediately asks me for permission to launch the app. I press "Cancel".

2. There is no option to join from my browser. But, there is a big blue button that says "Launch Meeting". I press it.

3. Again, the confirmation window from (1.) is raised. I press "Cancel".

4. Choosing to cancel a second time causes a visibility toggle for a small link on the bottom of the page (hidden beneath the giant blue button) that says, "Having issues with Zoom Client? Join from Your Browser".

Lol, so pessimistic that you don’t think your pessimistic bet will pay off. Damn, relatable.
I don't know specifically but as a layman I'd imagine the satellite breaking up into smaller and smaller pieces due to the rapid heating and the "wind resistance"(?) from making contact with the atmosphere at high speeds.

I'd also imagine that at some point in this breaking-up-process the pieces are small enough to sublimate from the extreme heat, i.e. "burning up".
My view might not be representative of every person in the journalism industry, but I believe that each journalist should hold themselves to a strong personal code of ethics; principles aside, there are reasons of self-interest too.

Journalism work is low-paying and scarce today, relative to how it has been in the past. If a a person just wants to make money, they could move into marketing (especially copywriting), public relations, market research, or change fields entirely. So, a person who chooses to be a journalist is likely doing so for non-financial reasons. These might be a want to serve their community; a wish to become famous for good work; or just because they like the day-to-day work. Accepting payment for article influence runs counter to a journalist's motivations for staying in the low-paying line of work (they aren't serving the community; it's bad for personal reputation; and it makes it harder to keep doing journalism work, if the word gets out).

It makes sense for ethics to go far down, out of pragmatism more than idealism (though I also recognize that a person having a bad day/week might impulsively compromise on their integrity, or may not have thought about the consequences in advance).
The magnetic stripe is basically phased out in Australia. Sometimes readers let you swipe if the chip doesn’t read after the second try, but the terminals actually don’t let you swipe otherwise and tell you to insert the card if you try!

It’s been like this for several years now - and tap to pay has basically been the default (for purchases under $100) for even longer.
No. None are space junk and none were made nonfunctional by the storm.

1. The storm caused the atmosphere to expand

2. which increases drag on satellites.

3. The satellites were in safe mode because of the storm, so…

4. some satellites fell out of orbit because they couldn’t produce enough thrust to recover after the storm

No satellite was ever even at risk of becoming space junk. This is pretty read TFA stuff.
It's sad that the war on drugs is just pushing recreational drug users (often unknowingly) to more-readily synthesized chemicals with worse safety profiles, thereby increasing the net harm to society. It really puts the lie to the idea that harm reduction is part of the agenda in most western countries.

Say what you will about the recreational drugs of the 20th century, their long-term effects are well understood.
Most software developers have the same problem. They ignore what they already know is going to happen: one day, their code will die, just like we all will one day die. This thought is so disturbing to us that we avoid dealing with it until it's too late. No one's code runs forever; yet we all pretend every line of our code will outlive us. And just like the health-nut marathon runner who drops dead of a heart attack, there are no guarantees in life or in code, framework or not.

Plan for your code's death. Keep an eye on the next versions, and keep a CI job pinned to them. Read the changelogs. Keep the import EOL dates on your calendar. EOL your own code. We don't get to choose whether our code will die, but we can choose how it goes out.
