I think "10k not moving the needle" dramatically depends on your perspective - not sure the food bank that got one working laptop vs using mismatched sheets of paper would agree. Definitely massive donations preferable, but small amounts can be useful - it feels a little privileged to think they cannot.

It will be interesting to see what happens to the housing market.

Mortgages in Canada have to be renewed every 2-5 years. Rates renegotiated. There have been rumblings for years that there are a huge number of homeowners who would be unable to pay their mortgage with a 1% increase in rates. Now we've seen rates go from 1.9% to 5.4% in a year, with more rises to come.

All the while, we've had a housing bubble going on. My condo at one point had doubled in price from what I bought it for 7 years ago, based on neighbouring units for sale (and sold). And it was already inflated in value back then.

How many homeowners were barely able to afford a $1.5m home[0] 3 years ago at rates of 2%, and are paying $6,300/month, and in the next 6 month will renew their mortgage at 5.4% and be unable to afford $9,000/month?

Those houses will go up for sale, and that is how bubbles pop.

[0]What, you think $1.5m is too much for a house? Take a look at realtor.ca and browse most neighbourboods of Toronto. That much won't get you much, for the moment. Also, it's CAD so take 30% off.
Nonsense. The preperation for the Holocaust was the "humourous" depictions of "the Jew".

it depends on what effects you're looking to get. Going beyond 512x might produce near duplicate subjects or other repeating shapes. I exploited this behavior for a series of prompts that were all about high contrast geometric shapes. This was not so satisfactory for other subjects though.

The feature is sold as a two year free subscription to the service, not a feature of the device. That suggests to me Apple isn't committed to this forever. They want do be able to abandon the technology and human staffed relay infrastructure if this is eclipsed by satellite 5G or some other option and not get sued in 195 countries for breaking a device feature after the sale.

I agree! I am not so utilitarian that I say to the homeless, "Sorry I can't give you a dollar, it would better serve those who need malaria medicine" :D.

There's something to be said about helping those around you directly as a way to build a better local community. Especially when you can help 'for free' (e.g. by helping someone with a flat, as I mentioned).

Now, that said, if we are talking about giving out $10'000, and we're sort of encouraging more to do it (by sharing how we donate), at that magnitude and scale I think it would be better if we encouraged people to donate more effectively.

CLA is sort of neutral in this regard. You can have DCO-style CLAs with incoming == outgoing licensing, where the contributor and the project organization end up with the same rights. But like with DCO, switching to proprietary is still possible in principle if the license is sufficiently permissive. And admittedly, such symmetric CLAs are somewhat rare; DCO has mostly taken over this space.
Search all open tabs in Firefox: prefix your search with "% " (percent followed by a space).

Or don't, and it'll probably be in the list of suggested results anyway.

(Unless you're using container tabs, in which case it'll only search open tabs in the current container, which is sometimes good but usually a nuisance.)

I much prefer Firefox's address bar search heuristics over Chrome's, but it definitely depends on your usage patterns. Firefox is very good at suggesting relevant things from my history, to the extent that I will gasp actually close tabs now and rely on search to rediscover them, rather than forever accumulating open tabs that I might want to get back to.
I think you're 85-90% right - but I wouldn't undersell the impact of Apple's proprietary W1 / H1 / H2 chips in their headphones either.
>> We're in a weird not often seen situation where we are seemingly heading into a recession with full employment and high inflation and already high interest rates(by recent memory) while also having high debt levels for both individuals and businesses.

Hi from the UK too :-)

High energy prices and fuel costs here are just annihilating people's spending ability, yet Bank of England has been upping interest rates similarly aggressively, to, you know, reduce people's spending ability. Fun times. And the people with serious disposable money to spend are seeing better savings rates and so... have more money to spend!

I think there's simply a "this is the tool we've always used to combat inflation so here we go" attitude among central banks. IIRC Japan took a more nuanced view and bet on inflation being transient and with a distinct (COVID plus Russia/Ukraine) cause different to normal inflation causes, and they seem to be doing pretty well?

Garmin will likely keep me because running gps for 10+ hours at a shot is important. A full smart watch is far less of a priority.

If you don't want to dive headlong into Apple's stuff, then a Garmin might very well be all the smart watch you need. It's been quite a few years since I used a Garmin as a full-time smart watch, but you can have notifications and messages (read-only if using an Apple phone) and even contactless payment on a Garmin. If we weren't a knees-deep Apple house, I'd just use my Garmin 945 as my smart watch.
I understand where you’re coming from. I would argue that if the amount of refactoring required to make the bug clear takes that much longer, then all the more reason it should be prioritized. This is really the purest definition of tech debt, because there may be other bugs present in the code you are unaware of. This is assuming no tests cover the bug, because if they did, it wouldn’t have made it into production. Honestly you should be doing it all, because you have to understand the full scope of the issue to properly fix the bug, test it to prevent regression, and in order to test it it must be testable. So I would say if there are no tests, and it is not testable code, the least amount of refactoring you should do is make it testable. You actually don’t even have to write the test if you really want to cut corners. Just through single responsibility principle, dependency injection, and writing code that could be tested is enough to bring it 90% the way there. You can even break the dependencies and theoretically as long as you don’t violate the interface the functions you refactored should hold up. The simpler and more broken down the code is, it gets to the point where you say, this function has one if statement and two return statements, writing a test is actually redundant compared to the code. If it’s not mission critical code, you can really cut corners, if you’re in a hurry…

> Did try Windows but Windows has no built in support for multi seat, so it didn't work well.

Windows kind of does have built in support for multi seat[1], it's just Microsoft won't sell it to you, and if they did, licensing costs would be enormous for 2-5 people; I was using third party software to enable multiseat, which worked ok for the version of windows it was built for, but hotplugging USB was always an opportunity for calamity, etc.

My Jlab headphones have a solution -- whenever they turn on they are in "pairing" mode as if they are brand new. They seem to figure out when they find an existing paired device, but if not they are discoverable every time.

> Celsius also admitted at the 341 meeting that the company had never earned enough revenue to support the yields being paid to investors.

> Wright's law

Agree with you. For the ones not familiar with Wright's law:

Pioneered by Theodore Wright in 1936, Wright’s Law aims to provide a reliable framework for forecasting cost declines as a function of cumulative production. Specifically, it states that for every cumulative doubling of units produced, costs will fall by a constant percentage.

> For the American's that don't know. In Canada our banks won't give you a 25 or 30 rate.

Section 10 of the Canada's federal Interest Act states (emphasis added):

> 10 (1) Whenever any principal money or interest secured by mortgage on real property or hypothec on immovables is not, under the terms of the mortgage or hypothec, payable until a time more than five years after the date of the mortgage or hypothec, then, if at any time after the expiration of the five years, any person liable to pay, or entitled to pay in order to redeem the mortgage, or to extinguish the hypothec, tenders or pays, to the person entitled to receive the money, the amount due for principal money and interest to the time of payment, as calculated under sections 6 to 9, together with three months further interest in lieu of notice, no further interest shall be chargeable, payable or recoverable at any time after the payment on the principal money or interest due under the mortgage or hypothec.

* https://laws-lois.justice.gc.ca/eng/acts/i-15/page-1.html

So since penalties on cancelling >5 year term mortgages are restricted, which means banks have no (major) recourse if you cancel a >5 year mortgage, so the banks have little incentive to offer >5 year mortgages. (Amortization periods are >5 years of course.)

The US has no such restriction, and so if you cancel a 30 year mortgage there, banks can theoretically go after you for the entire amount of lost profits.

Note that, while there have been some spikes, interest rates have been on a generally centuries-long trend of going lower:

* https://www.visualcapitalist.com/700-year-decline-of-interes...

* https://www.bankofengland.co.uk/working-paper/2020/eight-cen...

Renewing often has, in general, gotten you a lower rate. It's why, historically speaking in Canada, going with a variable rate mortgage would have been better at least 75% of the time, as possibly as much as 90%:

* https://www.ratespy.com/the-most-misconstrued-study-in-mortg...

* http://astarmortgage.com/pdf/moshe.pdf

We just happening to be in a rising rate environment currently.

This may be a reason, and not the only one, or unrelated to the situation entirely.

> Section 10 of the Interest Act (Canada) allows a borrower who is a natural person to prepay a mortgage loan or hypothec having a term of 5 years or more at any time after the first 5 years, in exchange for 3 months’ interest payments (in addition to the principal and interest owing). This right of prepayment protects individuals from being locked into a long-term mortgage at a high interest rate with either no ability to prepay or with prepayment subject to a large penalty. However, the same rule restricts individuals from negotiating their own prepayment terms which may preclude them from securing more favorable long-term financing.

"Don't like it? Just fork it!" is a variant I see a lot in the FOSS world. It's equally pernicious in my view. Either you end up maintaining your own fork that nobody uses (and who wants to do that) or the fork is successful and half the community starts hating you for causing more fragmentation. Perhaps the most recent example of this I can think of is neovim, though in the language world python 2 vs 3 is so infamous that people have started hating the entire community from the outside.

All of this says to me that Zig is taking the wrong approach. Making highly controversial, opinionated features the standard with no way to opt out just leads to these endless debates. Languages (or any tools, for that matter) that stay out of the debate and just give everyone a flag tend to have much more welcoming communities.
The code that community contributed remains open source, you generally can not retroactively make stuff not-open. What Akka here is doing is removing themselves from the open source project and making their further contributions closed. The open source community is free to continue as they want.
Cultural factors consistently swamp genetic explanations for things which aren't obvious morphology and biology.
Thank you. A lot of times people end up talking Past each other in these sorts of threads. Appreciate it!

Yes. That is a contradiction. Categorically, it's not fair to expect someone to pay for things without letting them have some degree of decision making in how the money is spent. Otherwise it's simply robbery.
The world is so irrational and annoyingly stupid - sometimes I can hardly believe it.

I recently published an article[1] on How Apple could improve the VPNs experience on iOS. I hope someone at Apple finally decides to improve it on the next update.

It surprises me how Apple continues to add a lot of fancy feature and ignore basic day to day usability features like these.

I’m pretty sure Apple just released a security patch for the iPhone 6 just a week or two ago. Seems like they are keeping “severe” CVEs patches on (some) out of support devices.
It's a limitation of Bluetooth's available bandwidth, especially with bidirectional audio. Apple added support for an improved speech codec, AAC-ELD, to the 3rd gen AirPods last year:

https://www.apple.com/newsroom/2021/10/introducing-the-next-...

AAC-ELD support was also apparently added to existing AirPods Pro and Max at the same time:

https://medium.marco.zone/apple-implemented-the-biggest-impr...

I'm not sure when AAC-ELD is used on the host side though. It probably depends on the version of macOS and maybe even which app is being used.

FWIW, macOS can be setup to use the AirPods for output and the built-in mic for input and that will likely result in better quality both for the person using AirPods and the person on the other end.

Personally, I still use a wired headset for my conference calls. Wires are a PITA but they Just Work.
If the size/shape is the same as the original AirPods Pro, does that mean that the new XS earbud will be usable with the original version? I have never had issues with earbuds (wired or original AirPods) before, but the AirPods Pro doesn't fit well for me. I use it when listening to content, but if I'm talking I use my old AirPods (non-Pro). The Pros migrate out of my ear canal quickly when I'm talking or eating, due to the jaw movement.

Fingers crossed that we'll be able to pick up the new XS size in an Apple Store once these are out!
I dont understand but I am curious, can you please develop ?
I did something similar, I paid back the profit I made from every renter who had been a tenant of mine. I found their dates, estimated what they paid above cost, figured how much my property had appreciated since they stayed with me, and cut them all checks.

That was thousands of dollars from me, but it was great to be able to say, "I believe profiting from housing is unethical and I'm willing to actually do something about that."

Reactions were incredible. Lots of happiness was shared. A couple folks were able to start savings they didn't have before.

I highly encourage the successful folks in this thread to find opportunities for giving like this.

THANK YOU for posting this. My partner uses Otter, and HIS Otter bot will join my work meetings that he is not even invited to. He's sent me some recordings within the app in the past and we share calendars, but it still doesn't explain why this would happen. We've emailed Otter multiple times since July 2021 without any satisfactory response or investigation. You'd think they would take this privacy issue more seriously. Truly absurd.
The key word here isn't "license", it's "advertising".
Don't expect that to last long. iOS 14.8 was released on September 13, 2021, iOS 14.8.1 on October 26, 2021, and then nothing else.
The one thing that would have made me upgrade is the promise that I could use the Pros with my Mac on a Teams/Zoom cal and not sound like I was talking on a 1970s landline.
Not really, the sentinel is part of the type and the allocator interface in Zig is type-aware, meaning that you can't simply "forget" about sentinels. The type system will fight you.
speculoo 2: electric boogaloo
NB: Not just the Pro, it's also available for the iPhone 14, also for free for the first two years.
The fact that setting a maximum loudness level is not the first step of configuration when you pair new AirPods is still beyond me.
Possibly a fully assembled product. I will look into Hikvision.
I don't think it is so clear cut. Charity money going to third world countries often ends up finding corrupt governments and destroying local markets.

There's a 2 week return period, and I wanted to be sure I'd be fine switching to iOS before buying an expensive new device. Part of the reason I'm switching is the new Pro models are a lot closer to Android phones with features like always on display. Based on the rumors, I was pretty sure what to expect today, so I have just been onboarding myself with iOS yesterday and today and can return the phone by the time I should have the new one in hand.
