> Now I’m not sure how iCloud is necessary for this, the device should already know my regular devices

It isn’t the headphones that have the issue. AFAICT, it’s that your devices aren’t releasing the headphones from the connection. For this, you require coordination between your phone and tablet. The headphones can just be along for the ride. Your devices try to keep their connection as stable as possible. If your tablet doesn’t know your phone now wants to play a video, why would your tablet disconnect from the headphones?

Maybe it isn’t iCloud that does this (but iCloud definitely stores the Bluetooth ids so you only have to setup the headphones once). But there is some OOB communication between the devices. This is the Apple secret sauce and why they can have the feature, but other vendors struggle.
I'm just going to leave this here: https://sre.google/sre-book/embracing-risk/ because I think it does a better job at explaining what I'm trying to say than I could ever do. If you're never paging and your system never goes down your error budget is too high and you're very likely wasting too many resources on stuff that you don't need, regardless of whatever oncall rotation you have behind it.

There may be some truth here, and I have a suspicion a limited amount of fossil fuel burning will continue for the next century. It seems like we may be forced to rely on DAC to some extent an have to negotiate internationally how much CO2 we're pulling out of the atmosphere and how quickly.

For me, what helps, is the fact that I have a vivid imagination. Thus games and movies always feels shallows unless they have an interesting plot. Or the mechanism are so hard you have to focus too master them. But I’ll always take a book over a movie.

The visualization of scenes in a book also push me away from drama and horror book, because it’s so realistic in my head. It’s feel like I watching some private scenes or in a nightmare.
Elementary school teacher (and other government jobs) are some of the worst in inflationary periods, though. You have a monopsony employer; usually some emotional attachment to the job; a school calendar that provides convenient quitting/rehiring times only once a year; and a seniority-based pay system that oftentimes makes you start at the bottom if you switch school districts. This prevents many teachers from job-hopping the way other professions would, which locks them out of the biggest sources of raises.

When my mom started teaching in the late 60s, doctors/lawyers/engineers made only about 20-30% more than elementary school teachers. By the time she retired in the mid-00s, it was about 3x more, and my starting salary as a software engineer was basically equal to her retirement salary. 15 years into my career I was making 10x what she ever did.
Fun should be sufficient enough reason.
That was basically my point.
Trailers would be theoretically useful in a variety of HTML streaming-related cases if they actually had widespread support (but they don't):

- sending down Server-Timing values for processing done after the headers are sent
- updating the response status or redirecting after the headers are sent
- deciding whether a response is cacheable after you've finished generating it

All of these except the first one obviously break assumptions about HTTP and I'm not surprised they're unsupported. Firefox [1] actually supports the first case. The rest have workarounds, you can do a meta-refresh or a JS redirect, and you could simply not stream cacheable pages (assuming they'd generally be served from cache anyway).

But it's still the case that frontend code generally likes to throw errors and trigger redirects in the course of rendering, rather than performing all that validation up front. That's sensible when you're rendering in a browser, but makes it hard to stream stuff with meaningful status codes.
You must be ignorant as hell. Russia opens a front? Really? Few millions people was forcefully deported. Children are separated from their parents. Filtration camps on occupied territories.

Latest shelling of the largest nuclear plant in Europe.

Nothing different? Really?
Hydrogen will come from green sources. There is no point using non-green sources, because you will have no market for your more expensive non-green steel. Lots of countries are itching to become the Saudi Arabia of green hydrogen, although personally I suspect the economics is going to have everyone manufacture locally.

Yes, but only since very recently — AFAIK, most distros are not using the open-source drivers yet, as they don’t yet have feature parity with the proprietary ones.
I'll add my data points as well. I've had several bikes, one with a loud aftermarket pipe installed by the previous owner.

I'm afraid that we're going the wrong direction on this. Purple Sea Urchin's(probably from ship ballast) are decimating the kelp forest on the west coast of US. Same with our terrestrial forests only we are the ones doing the damage there. Sorry to be a downer but I'm thinking we're screwed.
One thing I remember fondly about Spectre (or one of its versions) is it coming with a first-person cyberpunk-style narrative about some protagonist character "rezzing" into the virtual tank world. As a kid, it was probably my first exposure to the genre, long before I came across Gibson. Is that story available online anywhere?
> I put this scheme together in the summer of 1987. (Thanks to folks at UC Berkeley for the idea. Their wiring is slightly different, I gather for historical reasons, but the basic idea was there. If I can find out who really originated this scheme, I'd like to credit him or her by name.)

I'm pretty sure some of the ISA bus multiport serial cards were using something like this before '87. It was used but not for "consumer" gear.

True as far as it goes, but the fair response to this is: who really cares how rich a country is, normalized to its size? In the

If you care about the country as people, then median is better as you point out. But if you care about the country as country, then total is generally more interesting (to understand, say, military power).

China's a big deal despite not being particularly rich per capita. On the other hand, the leaders in per capita GDP, outliers like Macau and Luxembourg, are not usually countries people are interested in.
> Like the Head-of-Line blocking problem: it is not solved in HTTP/2

How so? It is not solved on the network level (due to its use of TCP), but it is solved on application layer: slow response to one request is not blocking other requests.
You raise a good question. Actually, it's interesting that the article doesn't have a DOI number at all it seems, which is usually how it would be linked to the definitive source. IMO that's a bad sign and I'd treat this with some skepticism as a result.
> For tier 1 oncall (5m response time), for each hour oncall outside of working hours, you are compensated for 40 minutes, which you can either take as time off or at your current pay rate (i.e. you are compensated at 2/3 your usual pay).

Am I doing this math right…

You get comp’ed 26 min for every 1-hour of Tier 1 Oncall?

If so, getting paid ~50% seems pretty darn good.
Thanks for the book recommendations.

I used Aldwell-Schachter, Voice Leading and Harmony. Part VI is relevant to the composers I mentioned but didn't really explain many of the things I was wondering about. Sure, I can name the chords (most of the time), but on a compositional level there's much more going on.
HTTP/2 provides features that websockets don't. Even if you were to use websockets over HTTP/2, you'd lose features like being able to multiplex requests _because_ it's a higher level protocol. Why is it wrong to say its better to use a more feature full and lower level protocol?

Maybe my headcanon is wrong but my understanding is that the us navy utterly sucked at the beginning of WWII (e.g. torpedoes that didn't work, Halsey) - and it was very likely through a combination of "figure your shit out", natural selection, and at the top promoting a handful of amazing no bullshit admirals (king, ching lee) that got the US out of it. There was still incompetence in the later years (cough cough Halsey)

One of the actually longstanding traditions on the US navy is irreverence to decorum or the chain of command when it matters, too, so that sort of operational agility probably was a big factor.
> A better compensation mechanism would be to measure changes in outcomes such as wealth

I agree that GNH (gross national happiness) etc matter too, but I think that tying their income to lower percentiles would greatly increase the correlation between GDP growth GNH... the only reason it's broken in the US is because GDP goes to the upper ranks, in a rent seeking manner, from the lower ranks.

> Unless it was a very high percentile, that would incentivize competent people to flee to the private sector, or it would encourage competent but corrupt people to join the government.

I actually think there needs to be a return to the "service" mentality to civil service. IMO government shouldn't be a job you do because of the compensation, stability, union etc. It should be a service to your country. But that would require so many Americans to stop hating their nation as they seem to now.

You've missed the point and constructed a straw man.

The point I made was any minority representation on television is good. Art should reflect life. Unless it is a cultural work, which The Sandman is not, vastly over-representing a minority, and one that is already recognized as over-represented in the industry, is obsessive and indulgent. If it was essential to the story, that is one thing, but almost none of it had anything to do with the story or its advancement. It is gauche wallpaper. It is gratuitous. The homosexuality of the characters doesn't matter. It could be remade entirely with only straight characters, and it would still be sexually gratuitous and indulgent.

Dreams are inherently sexual, but this fact is entirely lost on Gaiman.
Heaven forbid. We can't have a nice planet to live on because somebody's metrics aren't what they want.

You disagreed.

Here's the situation:

1 I save it for a rainy day.

2 I buy something with all $10.

In scenario two, GDP went up $10 over scenario one.
The biggest roadblock today is that there is not enough green hydrogen yet. (Or even of grey hydrogen, really.) And not enough renewable power to make it from. So, the places for investment are renewable energy projects and factories to make electrolysers. It takes a long time to tool up factories, before you even start down the learning curve.

Somebody has worked out a way to get electrolysers well over 90% energy-efficient. We will need a hell of a lot of those.

The incentive will be that hydrogen will have become vastly cheaper than coal, and nobody still using coal will be able to compete. Until then, using coal is no worse than using grey hydrogen. But those already using grey hydrogen will be in a better position to switch to the cheaper alternative. And grey hydrogen could anyway become cheaper to use than coal.

It will be hard to find investment for tooling up to make gargantuan amounts of grey hydrogen, because the market will vanish in a few years and the equipment will be worthless.

Aviation, with LH2 vs kerosene fuel, will have a similar dynamic. That case is particularly slanted, because a given amount of hydrogen enthalpy is much lighter than of kerosene, and the difference is saleable cargo capacity. So, if liquified grey hydrogen is not very much more expensive than kerosene, it might be a win already. It is not clear whether airframes can be retrofitted; with long under-wing nacelle tanks, it might be possible.

It’s maybe not technically labor, but it’s definitely work to be inconvenienced. Last time I was on call, I had to change my lifestyle pretty significantly so that I could drag around a laptop and maintain internet connectivity.

Hiking? Nope. Driving through dead zones? Nope. Going to the movies? Not really. Bike riding? Maybe, if you can hear your phone, haul around a heavy laptop, and stick to areas with phone reception.

Being on call is work. Call it labor or don’t, I don’t care about the semantics. Work is work.
This is more about whether it is acceptable to push error checking to the application layer or not. Seems like the gRPC designers agreed with you and so they need trailers.
Sorry that your family had to go through that, and all the people in affected industries, but the lockdowns also saved a lot of lives. Probably millions. Thousands of 9/11s. Worldwide. A lockdown "here" prevents covid spreading both here .... and there.

In a lot of newer tech companies it's more of a lateral move at the senior level (e.g. SE3 == EM1). I've worked at a few companies now where I've managed engineers who make more than I do.

It's a different set of skills, you're specializing in people vs code. Companies that stack management on top of IC are basically forcing their best engineers to either go into management or leave for a company that doesn't do this.
No, for every 60m oncall outside of working hours, we are compensated for 40m.

40/60 == 2/3

So for each hour, we can take either 40m of time off or 40m of pay.

In other words, we get paid 66%.

It was recommended reading in my undergraduate mathematics class in 1980, we had a lot of serious math texts on the core list and a wealth of periphiral material that pushed various edges.

The rationale was that "this is probably bullshit, but it's exactly the kind of BS that you need to read closely and argue for or against various aspects".

At the time, of course, fractals were vogue, AI was just around the corner, and we had exercises on robotic algorithms, speech recognition, distributed text searching and indexing, read on neural nets and so on.

It was a great read - I never bought the 'recent' evolutionary arguments but I enjoyed the discussions of what constituted 'intelligence', a section still worth reading today.

The best pieces of advice that I can share from experience:

Do not do eager work at process startup (application onCreate, content provider onCreate, etc). Your process starts up for many different reasons, and work done there except for a narrow subset (crash reporting setup) is unlikely to apply to all of them. However, once the code is there it's hard to find what else might be depending on it later.

Do not use inheritance to share code. Androids APIs were designed to point you in this direction, but overrides upon overrides will make your life miserable. Once you have a base class from Hilt or AppCompat to provide composition for you (via DI or lifecycle), add no further layers of inheritance.

Avoid the event bus pattern. It was fashionable for a while but it turns the codebase to spaghetti. It tends to make error handling impossible or at least convoluted and debugging is a huge challenge.
This got me curious and while a quick search didn't give me much info on what kind of "howitzer" these junks had, this similar naval gun had an optimistic fire rate of 5 rounds per minute and was less effective against agile targets.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/20_cm/12_short_naval_gun

So my guess would be light, slow, inaccurate gun against highly maneuverable bazookas. It seems to me like a bazooka vs tank situation. Tanks are more powerful but a well positioned bazooka will kill a tank.
Most sentences can be rearranged to mean the converse. This is cross-linguistically pretty common, depending on which atoms you choose to rearrange. Most sentences can be negated with at most a couple of word changes. This is cross-linguistically about as universal and anything in linguistics is, again depending on which atoms you choose as "words".

Lets call the next version gRPC Send. then the vp can "leave" after a year or so, the project can get scrapped, and we can go back to something decent XD
The idea here is that http provides something like request/response semantics, methods, path, status code, etc - which are all also useful for gRPC. Websockets provide none of that - they are just message streams.

Websockets over http/2 are a new thing, and haven’t even been available at the time gRPC incepted.

Meanwhile, in reality, the EU's jet fuel tax proposal seems to have exemptions for private jets.

The problem, though, is that the way we've designed our civilization is that many things require fossil fuels or some close substitute in order for things to remain habitable. Germany this winter (and the EU in general) will be ones to watch closely to see what happens when it's not a question of the price of natural gas, but the simpler is it available at any cost problems. Or you can point to Texas a couple winters ago - their power production required natural gas. Natural gas, in sufficient quantities, simply wasn't available at any price. And so the state largely went dark. One might hope the problems were fixed, but as record profits were made in a few days, it's unlikely anything will be fixed. Just like it wasn't fixed after the same rough issue happened a decade ago in... oh, 2011? Somewhere around there.
I think the idea is that almost all of the costs like management, lobbying, paywalls, etc. are to be done away with, which that article estimates is at least 50% of the cost. Getting rid of a profit margin by being a public non-profit org slashes another 30%, and so presumably a system like this may only cost a few hundred dollars an article on average, well below the thousands of dollars typically charged for top journals. At that point it's easy for costs to be handled by libraries and institutions contributing to operating costs at much less than (the author of the OP claims <1% but I'd guess more like ~20%) the cost of existing journal access and publishing fees paid by institutions today.
Moby Dick is what it looks like: the whalers are whalers, the ship is a ship, the whale is a whale. "Deeper meanings" are not as characteristic of literary fiction as your high school English teacher might like you to believe. But whereas stories on the pulpier end of the spectrum create characters to meet the demands of the plot, Moby Dick's plot is a delivery mechanism for its characters.

Ahab, for instance, is exactly what he appears to be: a person obsessed with getting revenge on a whale. But Melville's portrayal of Ahab is psychologically rich enough to contain many elements which are common to questionably-attainable obsessions in general, and this is what people are usually talking about when they talk about literary symbolism. Ahab's relationship with the whale isn't a metaphor for man's search for meaning any more than it's a metaphor for my struggle to get my coworkers to stop throwing denormalized garbage in the schema - but it resembles both of them, and many other things besides.
