Definitely an issue with Netflix on Ubuntu. Enough that I prefer to “obtain” via other means the content I have paid access then watch it in mpv (where I must still manually introduce a video delay).

The delay you describe should be only as long as it takes for the audio packet to be processed by the audio stack as the video syncs with the audio and not the other way around. But I don’t think Bluetooth blocks for an ack of each packet (and if it did, you’d be delayed the other way because of the time it takes for the response to reach after the packet has finished playing)!

The half second of audio playing after you pause can be explained by the same delay I describe: that’s how long of a lag there is between source and sink (like you say, due to buffering - plus the transmission delays).
Wireplumber looks much more wonky to me than media-session, so I'm deferring the switch for now. Wireplumber's design seems flashy and not guided by experience or good taste to me, the opposite of Pipewire proper.
I have the same issue on the latest Fedora. It's very disappointing that bluetooth connectivity isn't a solved problem in 2022 (at least on Linux, haven't noticed any issues in Windows for a while). Are we ever going to get to a point where bluetooth "just works"?
I don't think even the Fed knows that. They are really playing with different instruments and seeing there effect on the economy. They have no idea how money flows and propagates. (see how high inflation surprised them).
I've followed this project from the start (10 years ago or so) and they haven't really made a viable product. It's a cool idea but actually implementing this stuff is harder than it looks.
These sorts of schemes always remind me of this part in the intro of localroger's "Passages in the Void" series hosted on his personal site [1]. The whole thing is some of the most amazing SF I've ever read!

"Then, about six thousand years after we were invented, it became clear that the Earth was entering one of its periodic Ice Ages. Left to its own devices this would not have been much of a problem, but it was a nuisance both we and the humans felt we could avoid. We built enormous sun-mirrors and seeded the atmosphere with greenhouse gases, and easily reversed the temperature dip. In fact, we succeeded much too well. Within a hundred years it became obvious that we had overshot our goal. But our efforts to cool the planet were not as successful as our efforts to warm it. Both ice caps melted, the sea level rose sixty meters, and vast land areas became sea floor.

This was a different nuisance, but it was not the final catastrophe.

The Antarctic continent had been crushed for millions of years beneath its three kilometer thick shield of ice; like a ship relieved of a heavy cargo it now wanted to rise, its lighter rocks buoyed up by the denser material of the Earth's mantle. And that lifting did not occur evenly. Great fault lines opened up into ranges of volcanoes as long-trapped magma suddenly found paths to the surface. New mountain ranges added their weight to the strain on the ancient continental plate as Antarctica regained its equilibrium. All the while a dense soot cloud blanketed the Earth and the brief summer of warming darkened into a cruel permanent winter.

The ice caps returned, but the southern snow accumulation did not stop the volcanoes. Glaciers raced toward the Equator, and after they met the oceans began to freeze. Later the atmosphere's carbon dioxide began to collect as snow on the poles. We had long since given up on saving our creators and worked instead to record their accomplishments and understand their biology before they were gone."

Singapore!

I spent a week there 7 years ago and I loved it.

The city was cool and modern, yet clean and civilized.

I was born in Mexico city, currently living in salt lake city Utah. I think living in Asia for a while would help me grow and expand my perception of the world.

We programmers have been dealing with this kind of complexity for a long time, why not use some of the tools normally used to manage complexity in code? For example:

1. Comments

2. Code reviews

3. Gated merge requests

etc. etc.

You can't riot when you perceive insults to you religion or ethnicity and be civilized in the west. It's not tolerated behavior. This is how we manage our multipolar societies with a variety of stakeholders.

That 'obligatory' (why?) reference is not relevant in this case since self-hosted mail is at least functionally identical to 'cloud'-hosted mail, in practice often superior to such while the proposed alternative to Dropbox is not [1].

If you can not or do not want to host your own things, fine, that is your right. That does not mean that your own inability or unwillingness to do so translates to others. Some people never cook for themselves, they always eat out. It would be just as easy to present an 'obligatory' reference to 'flour + yeast + water + oil + tomatoes + garlic + mushrooms + bacon + olives + cheese = pizza', implying that those who think you can make your own are deluded. It is a good thing that most people realise cooking your own food is a good thing to (be able to) do, it would be a good thing if more people realised it is possible to 'self-cook' your own services, either from some instant package ('click here to install your own mail server') or by cobbling together the needed parts.

[1] ...but a self-hosted instance of e.g. Seafile or Nextcloud is functionally superior to Dropbox and, at least for Nextcloud, is starting to become supported in third-party products so self-hosting still wins in the end

How much money is worth “wasting” to investigate new possible solutions to global warming?

If you look at the “official” plans, they all rely on the emergence of magical new technologies. So we’d better start testing even the less promising approaches. Shotgun strategies are needed.

Of course, at the moment, many are seeking to ban research science in this area because it is viewed as morally dangerous [1].

The specific case is the Magnuson Moss warranty act this covers self repair and the use of aftermarket parts in the attempt of the manufacturer to deny claims based upon the use of an unrelated aftermarket part.

Additionally look up copyrights surrounding the sale of books and the attempt of placing a license agreements around books and how that failed yet somehow software that is sold in a very similar manner to books can be covered by both copyright and a license agreement.

What values were AT & Bletchley advancing?

To me it seems clear they weren't engaged in grand strategy, that the particulars of democracy & values weren't at the forefront. Simply turning back the tides against onslaught was the move of the day. Facing overrun, they were seeking every advantage they could; they did not have the luxury of advocating their values.

I feel sorry for AT & his colleagues. Because they couldn't share their great work, because incredible advanced & efforts had to be kept secret. Because people had to die, information had to go un-acted upon, to maintain the strategic advantage.

But developing a toolkit for democracy, developing capabilities and potentials: that threatens no one. There's no cost to doing that. We don't have to try to seed democratic technologies to the world. But we should have this arsenal of freedom. We should ennoble & potentiate humanity, so that when the times come, we are ready. Let's try. Let's not be afraid, and worthless. Let's be as brave as Bletchley, let's prepare.

Hey, I’m sorry you have to read comments like that. That was a dickish thing to say. You were open and honest about your feelings (in this case, that you were more diligent and intelligent than your coworker and yet made the wrong choice and ended up ‘falling behind’ them). It’s a shame that even in an anonymous forum people are so obsessed with self-filtering and coming across precisely correct, not too confident and not too self-effacing, that they end up punishing someone just for candidly articulating what’s going through their mind.

Don’t let it get you down. Think about all the opinions you’ve had about internet strangers, how little information they were based on, how unlikely it was that they were correct, much less represented the totality of who that person is. Imagine someone actually adjusting their self-image by the opinion of someone whose only knowledge of them is two paragraphs of text. That’s mad. I know we’re inclined to believe criticism more than praise, but I really hope you can focus on the positives and the helpful comments from this thread, and find a happier way of living. I wish you way more than luck.

My personal experience says otherwise, but I’ll concede that accounting does have value.

Marketing? Well, we can disagree there — to me marketing is making a science out of “parting fools with their money”, so to speak. It’s always felt fundamentally dishonest and a little dirty. But again, thats me and I am definitely biased.
>You can be a burecrat or become a politician if you want.

You can become those things if you manage to navigate a social and possibly economic process and succeed in entering those positions. By using your own definition, a slave wasn't a slave because people like William Ellison [0] who were once slaves went on to become a slaveholder. A slave can become a slaveholder -- that doesn't cancel out them taking part in a system of slavery.

>there is no “ruling class”.

A couple weeks ago when I entered the US I was forcibly shackled and cuffed without being even 'arrested' nor formally charged with a crime and held for 16 hours while taken to hospitals against my will on the most flimsiest accusation of being suspected as a "drug mule." Do you really think a common armed citizen could have held me like that against my will without repercussion? There is most definitely a 'ruling class' who can get away with things others can't. The border patrol in fact is 'allowed' to violate the constitution within 100 miles of the 'border' (which debatably is either actual border or even just international airports) and stop people without probable cause of having committed a crime.

Perhaps 'debt bondage' is a better word to describe what the government imposes on its citizens (especially noted in the high percentage of black men thrown in debtor's jail for merely owing money a la child support enforcement). Debt bondage is considered a form of slavery by some, although distinct and perhaps less egregious from chattel slavery.

Presumably, there are more integrations coming but no information from Apple on this. Seems too good to be true that Apple would offer an API to customers that could be hooked up to a self-hosted Actual instance.

Kind of a bummer that they only have Mint support right now, seems quite at odds with Apple's Privacy goals.
I was referring more to the owners than to the guests. Most of the guests are polite and quiet, although it's impossible for them not to wake me up when they're leaving with their luggage, which is 3-4 times per week. This simply wouldn't happen with longer-term tenants. But it's also due to the way the neighboring property owner set up their Airbnb. Essentially, they spent 2 years building a tall, narrow cottage directly up to the property line, using every available inch of their yard, which blocked off my terrace from the sun. This is allowed here under loosened building restrictions because of the acute housing shortage, but the intent of the scheme was to provide more housing for local working families, not additional airbnb income for absentee landlords. So after they put me through a couple years of construction and loss of the sun, they rented their main house to long-term tenants, posted the cottage up through a management company for $300/night and f*cked off to Europe. And now I wake up to people leaving, and again to someone knocking and saying "housekeeping" every weekend.
I’ve seen the same, though I don’t have a source at the moment. It was both a basic physiological and psychologic need. Which makes sense if you think about it.
Yep that's insane. That's the same as giving 1,000 families $1000 a month for the first year that their child is born. Surely that would have a significantly larger positive impact on society

While I know you inteded this as a direct question, I'm actually going to give a meta-response. It seems to me that you think that the problem I'm outlining in my "train" analogy is that I personally am not on the train. To the contrary, the problem is that there is a train at all. Even if/when I manage to climb safely aboard, I'll have left behind an entire class of people who weren't so lucky. Smart, capable people who just wanted to do something respectable and beneficial for the world, like teaching or journalism or home health aide. I understand that all those people could just give up on what they're doing and "learn 2 code" but I think it should be obvious that (a) not everyone wants to code (or can do it to a high level), and (2) a society made up entirely of coders is not desirable.

More broadly though, I suspect you and I just have totally different worldviews. You correctly point out that there are straightforward steps to escape the crushing hopelessness of life in the modern underclass. What I'm saying is that it should be made possible and in fact easy for people to carry on a dignified, non-hopeless existence without being coerced into chasing the absolute highest-paying job available. I suspect this comes down to personality. If you're satisfied living "defensively," putting aside what you most crave or are actually best at in favor of the thing that will keep you protected while the rest of society atrophies, well that's lucky for you. But not everyone is wired that way. If we were, I doubt things like good food or art or music would exist.

As for the dating thing, if you're not on the dating market right now you might not be aware that COVID massively messed things up. People now (myself included) are weirder than pre-2020. Human connection is harder. In fact, I'm going on IRL dates from apps most weekends now, but it's still a struggle compared to how things used to be, for me at least.

I doubt anyone is still reading by this point but I will say this: my original post was not about how my life is falling apart. I suspect I'll be fine; I'm doing more or less exactly what I want to do, all day, every day. The issue is, net net, lots of people are struggling. If people pulling themselves up by their bootstraps was a viable solution, we'd live in a utopia by now.
We the consumer will probably never do that but in industry that's been the case for a while. It's a SoC game not a CPU game anymore.
That's quite possible, I really don't know, but kids learn a huge amount by the time they're 3. They'll cue off adult behaviour, and you can very easily accidentally teach them really bad behavioural habits very early on. If the adults exhibit addictive behaviour or magnify the significance of indulgent behaviour then kids will start learning that from day 1. So sure individual biochemistry can make a big difference, but a child's basic personality is largely established by age 4. Those early years make a huge difference.
I don't see how one can say that this ends up being a straightforward dupe, unless you're just observing that it's criticism of Go by the same author and with a similarly provocative title.

I admittedly haven't read "Mr Golang's Wild Ride" since it first hit HN a couple years ago (and I don't really intend to, I have my doubts that it would be an edifying use of my time) but, based on what I remember of it, this new article is a much more nuanced and thoughtful position on the subject that definitely adds a different perspective to the conversation. It focuses on higher level questions about how one designs (or chooses) a software platform and ecosystem, where the original one was a fairly shallow fisk of language design issues. Wasn't it mostly drumming on syntax?
When you deposit $100 dollars in Robin Hood they must keep that $100 in a bank account. If you later use those dollars to buy a stock they must post collateral to the clearing house but not the $100 dollars you deposited (those must sit in the bank account still). Your account however is being credited with the stock instantly. In two days when the trade settles they transfer the $100 dollars to the clearing house and get their colatteral back.

The problem as you can see is that you deposited $100 and they have to use $15 (for example) more of their own cash. If overnight the 15% margin requirement changes to 30% and RH doesn't have a huge amount of cash sitting around they are going to get squeezed.

Yeah, that sucked.
It’s a shitty modern EULA. In terms of rights to your art, I wouldn’t worry:

- for one it would be utterly impossible for them to get their hands on the hundreds of gigabytes of footage this monster will create. How would they get it? Over the internet? With thousands of customers, I think it’s unlikely. Then storing this... just the scale of it seems impossible.

- also this doesn’t mention copyright. I guess they maybe could take a video of yours and use it purely to debug stuff, maybe share with a subcontractor. But they can’t use it in any way as their own, which is probably what you care about as a creator.

To me the shitty bit would be about features being deleted, but then usually upgrades are optional and avoidable.
> you make a good point about it requiring something so custom

The comment you're replying to didn't say this at all, the developer did. In theory it's also wrong. The server can be application agnostic. It shouldn't care whether the CRDT update is from a budget app or an RSS reader or whatever else, because the sync job for the server is exactly the same. You should also be able to encrypt the content, and therefore set up generic shared CRDT servers instead of requiring people to run their own.

It only requires more work now because nobody has built that yet.
The problem with this analysis is that Robinhood didn't choose to block buy orders, they were forced to because they were no longer able to fulfill them. You can argue about whether Robinhood should've been better prepared for the volatility that arose (and that could be an interesting conversation by itself), but they weren't. GP claims "they shouldn't have done it", but continuing wasn't an option. The only other choice they had was to suspend trading in GME all together (both buy and sell orders), but I don't see how that wasn't strictly worse for them and their clients.

Oh gee, that's great. Look, I wish we could just be honest with ourselves here. The chip shortage is never going to end. Given the pandemic policies of many supplier countries, the rising US-China tensions, the status of Taiwan, and many other factors, I think that we're gonna have this shortage for quite a while, probably into the late 2020s at least. Until we get serious with ourselves and actually make a gigantic push to develop and subsidize domestic fab capacity, we're gonna have a chip shortage.

Of course, such a push would directly benefit Intel, so I'm not surprised to see their CEO agreeing with me.
