Ask HN: Do any Bluetooth virtual device/splitter apps exist on iOS or Mac?
I've started testing out some rowing apps recently, specifically EXR (like zwift but for rowing) and asensei which is a coaching app. I was hoping to do an asensei workout whilst having EXR in “Just Row” mode but both apps require a bluetooth connection to the Concept2 PM5 monitor which will only connect to one app. I thought there would likely be an app which would allow you to create Virtual Bluetooth devices and route an existing stream to it, similar to Rogue Ameoba’s Audio Hijack or Midimittr on iPhone but I can’t find anything. This would allow me to connect the PM5 to the app and then have the data relayed to both applications. The closest thing I’ve found seems to be an app called LightBlue but I don’t think it quite does what I want (I will be able to confirm tomorrow). Does anyone know of anything for iOS or Mac that will do the job or is this not technically feasible?

OSGi allowed you to specify in excruciating detail what dependencies you had, whether API (i.e you wanted to re-export types from another library) or not, and much more. Unfortunately, it became far, far more complex than just implementing a simple module system, so as most things from the era (early 2000's) it became a huge, complex beast no one wanted to touch anymore.
That's a very ridiculous thing to say.

Regulatory changes in banks kept accelerating in the last 50Y and I see no reason this will stop. It is harder and harder for them to keep up. Reasons for this are:

* Banks still have very old codebases and changing anything is fear inducing for everyone (automated testing is a new things for a lot of teams)

* Banks control very little of their core software. They have a lot of vendors for the same thing. You will see multiple vendors delivering basically the same thing in different parts of the bank, and at the same time multiple versions of those vendor applications in diferent parts of the bank. Integrating this is a nightmare (it can take more than 1Y to move a tag in a XML).

* IT is still mostly used for marketing purposes in banks, it's not a way of doing things. The design/integration is mostly discussed/designed by functional people. They are great, but it does happen that they don't see the full implications of their choices till it is too late. Also, because this is a design 'from above' changing anything takes a lot longer. For any change you have to convince a lot more people till you get to the actual person that will have to do it.

* A lot more complicated management reasons. Nobody wants to take a hit on a new IT project, and few people have the IT & banking knowledge to move such a project (why would you? they pay is average). You cannot progress with just one of them. Places where these projects happen is mostly close to pricing/trading as those are seen as profit centers and the bank is more willing to fail a few times till it can build something decent. As you get closer to the guts of the bank things get more and more...problematic.

Edit:
I had to add this. Central banks are also bad at IT, they do not set an example worth following. I consider this the main reason why all our interactions with banks are less than ideal online.
> Do you think they will be affected differently?

I do. Design is more focused on practical problem-solving, so these AI tools are great for helping that, actually. I don't see this as a threat to these professionals at all. Yes, a design project can eventually be considered art, but this is a byproduct of the design process.

People that are invested in specific visual art roles – specially those involved in the creation of a single piece or artwork, like cover illustrators, painters, photographers, and the like – will probably be more challenged by that.

But even then, it's just too early to know the long term impacts. I think that the effects will be highly variable. I'm sure a lot of artists will thrive with these tools, using them as a springboard for their careers – or even participate in the creation of new roles and modalities in the art scene. We have to wait and see what happens.
If you want both a stick and throttle for under $200, you'll likely want the Thrustmaster T.16000M FCS (~$150). If you're willing to add another ~$150 to the budget, I highly recommend the VKB Gladiator NXT EVO with the SCG Premium grip (~$210 with US shipping) and picking up the Thrustmaster TWCS throttle alone (~$130).

Either way, the Thrustmaster TWCS throttle does have some stiction and you might want to clean it up, or even better 3D print/buy a slider replacement for about ~$40 on Etsy.
If your manager is churning every six months, they are either bad managers or in a failing organization.

I would disagree with your assessment. OSL was specifically crafted, to close this exact loophole:

> Most other open source licenses treat such network uses of software as internal to the company that runs the server, and they don't require disclosure of source code. That is seen by many nowadays as a loophole that permits large online companies to avoid their reciprocal source code obligations.

Oh God. No.

"Ensure that you are fulfilling the expectations of your manager"

Please please do not assume your manager is any good at their job.
Talk to your users. Find a way to identify them and get feedback from them.
Keep your manager in the loop sure. But don't wait for requirements to come down from on high.

"Every step up in job title is equivalent to living perhaps 1–2 days further into the future."
No. If an organisation passes information down through the hierarchy then
by the time it reaches you (it's more like 1-2 weeks if not months into the future) then it's already moved on.

The US military tries hard to put decision making at the front line where it is most up to date. At the Battle of Jutland the British ships in the fleet had to radio its positions and sightings back to London, so London could update its "board" and radio to the Admiral in the fleet. This Admiral was this working on data that ships a mile or two away from him had had hours ago, but he was only just getting. This lead to an inconclusive battle.

Anyway.

Open information is way important.
I've worked with all of those options before I started working with GraphQL. The "out-of-the-box" support, especially the standardization that GraphQL enforces with its schema definition, is/was night-and-day compared to something like Swagger.
For what it’s worth they also loved Lubitsch, so it was not all doom and gloom for them.
of course there is. it's not hard to find a straightforward tractor that's easy for any third-party mechanic to do repairs on. that's basically kubota's whole sales pitch.

but Deeres are still popular. turns out that all the complicated software stuff is actually helpful, and some farmers want to buy it. even if a bunch of people on the internet who've never touched a tractor in real life think they shouldn't.
And people's brains continue to change.

When I was in my mid-20's, I rented Jaws and couldn't believe how boring it was. Twenty years later I gave it another go when I saw it on some streaming service and I absolutely loved it.

On one hand, people love short videos but at the same time many of them will settle in for a multi-hour podcast or binge-watch six hours of some streaming series on a slack weekend.
Is it possible somebody is interpreting some part of your website, ad, or marketing material as giving health-related advice that is not verified in some way? Would it help to better highlight your medical bonafides and/or perhaps give some better disclaimers? From working on some medical-related websites before, their lawyers wanted a ton of warnings and disclaimers on the sites and apps to the point of overkill, and what's mentioned just on the terms of service was by and large not considered good enough for that and the warnings had to appear on every page.

Is it possible your partners could help with the approval in some way?

As far as your app itself, coming from a non-doctor, I have no idea if "neuroscientific soundscapes" is a thing, but it sounds like something that could either be real or a pile of manure and I'd think referencing some research there would be helpful too.
>Often times when people get creative with names, the meaning dies with them

That's fine though. Anything you work on will inevitably develop a personality in your mind beyond what the name literally means, so what's the difference if the name is something like GAS (generic-acronym-service) or Fuel (GAS > gasoline > fuel).

A persuasive dev at my last job tried to insist on non-acronym names for every new service, and 5 years on, I can still remember every proper name, but none of the acronyms. That, to me, is sign of a good name.
>Another military term I’ve heard for written comms is “Bottom Line Up Front” (BLUF)

Yup! I've also heard this phrased as "start with the punchline, then explain the joke".
Especially when you're on floppy #25 of OS/2 Warp.
More like by clicking the plugin icon when we’re on GH repo page.

If it can infer the OS and system architecture, perhaps or could even find the right release automatically.
My best guess is that the game misses some optimizations due to enforcing a limit on memory usage.
Yeah, I'm no psychologist, but I thought the same thing. It seems related.
Does it have to be post-coding, pre-merge code review?

The difference lies in size of the diff and the manner of introducing changes. Other developers have your changes instantly. This is core of the discipline called „continuous integration”.

I’ve been in multiple teams doing mandatory, pre-merge, double code reviews and getting crappy results. The longer someone kept their precious feature branch isolated, the worse.

And keeping branches „up to date” only solves a small part of the problem with long lived branches.
Software may be taking over the world, but the "pay us rent forever to use the same software" business model doesn't have to. Right-to-repair should extend to software (for example, providing API documentation to customers), especially after EOL.
Ask HN: Do we still have educators like Jacob Bronowski?
Any contemporary broadcaster or educator who comes even close in terms of education, trust in the intelligence of their audience, and sheer balls?

I'm refering here to the creator of the 1973 series "The Ascent of Man", and am thinking particularly of the Auschwitz scene [0].

It will because no "correction" is necessary. If the speaker's intent was understood by their audience then their usage was correct. If it was not understood, the audience will seek clarification and the intended meaning will emerge that way.

This sort of unsolicited "correction" of other people's language is unnecessary and basically never helpful outside of an explicit educational/language-learning context. The goal isn't to perfectly communicate according to a specific set of rules, and trying to ossify the descriptive "rules" in that way is just prescriptivism but slower. The goal is to understand and be understood, which will always be a context-dependent moving target.
> Let's see you try that over ssh

I do that everyday lol

> What you have liked to is nothing of the sort and merely opening of a window within the command prompt on a local machine

I don't think you understand: sixels work IN BAND, meaning ssh will transmit the full video flux "after" it's converted into sixels (it's a little more complicated than that, but I'm trying to say don't expect a SYN/ACK outside of ssh own), which will then be rendered on the remote terminal into pictures upon reception.

It's just like doing 'cat' on a remote file: the content will be transmitted regardless, just at different speeds depending on your available bandwith

> Why bother to do that when you're sitting locally at the machine with access to all the GUI applications?

I prefer the terminal, it's more efficient.
I just considered something as you described this: I have a knack for sniffing bullshit on the web. It is intuitive and unconscious, that I don't really assume something is true if the combination of topic and source could lend itself to self-service. On the other hand, if I see sources I'm aware of or on a topic that is less likely to be controversial, I feel more comfortable believing something. I bet many people do not operate this way.

Also, I tend not to make big life decisions on anything in Wikipedia; if it is doing any more than satisfying curiosity, I am looking for additional sources.

I think it is a good general purpose encyclopedia and the world is better for having it.
>The rest of the world only cares about what your code does once it's compiled.

People in your company (including non-engineers) definitely care, because code quality bears on how easy it is to debug problems and how easy it is to implement new features or fixes (or sometimes if a feature is even practicable).
> I have a couple laptops dating back to 2013.

I have Lenovo x220 and this is my favorite laptop which does not afraid careless carrying in the middle of my backpack.

My old phones (none of them is smartphone) cannot run custom software except of java midp 2.0

> Ask HN: Which old, functional, electronics do you have?

First what is coming to my mind is a beautiful 3-way stereo twice as old as me with paper diffusors. I never consider replacing them with anything else because despite they were built before hi-fi standard started existing, this sound is beautiful if you do not need basses.

The current FB is great for productivity!

No need to mourn the former FB. It's gone.

I've given up on FB as a social network a long time ago. I unfollowed all my friends and started following things that interest me. Followed the astronomical society so I can be informed when they have a public night. I get ads for everything I need for renovating my house: roof sealing services, AC repair, contractors, new windows, cabinets, countertops, tiles, custom woodworkers, and more! The comments teach you a thing or two too.

The other great things on FB are events, the marketplace, and groups. So much useful information out there if you tailor the platform to your needs.
Quit repeating this crap. There was no agreement for NATO to not expand eastward and even Gorbachev stated there was no such agreement. You are just repeating the bullshit spread by Pozner and Mearsheimer. It is still bullshit propaganda no matter how many people repeat it.

I fell for it too, at the start of the war, and then I tried to combat it each time I came across it.
There's also the fact that entire forums exist around selling accounts (or access to accounts). One such site, swapd.co, has a pinned post for Twitter "username claims" and "account recovery", among other things. This site has sold admin panel access that has been responsible for a lot of crypto scams [0] in the past.

Nobody's account is safe. Doesn't matter what 2FA methods you use, whether you're verified or not, how many followers you have, all it takes is a couple grand for someone else to take it over.

> The impact of both of these was basically zero.

Per the Wikipedia article you linked, the attackers got $110k in Bitcoin, which is not "basically zero" (even if the price of BTC has fallen since then).

Do any switch games support mods?
Eh, I've seen a number of startups sunk (as in went-out-of-business sunk) because of code quality issues. Eventually you hit a wall where every bug you fix introduces more bugs, and the product does not converge to a state where you can launch it. Then the VCs start getting impatient and you run out of money.

The point where this happens depends a lot on problem domain. If you're doing well-understood CRUD-screen database stuff but applying it to a novel business domain, you're probably not going to hit code quality issues. If you're doing heavy algorithmic, OS, financial, or networking stuff, though, where failures compound and any one bug might take the whole system down, you really want to pay up for experienced developers that have seen all the ways these systems can fail.
I'm not sure. Threats from the Chinese govt include US national security, and the privacy and human rights of all Twitter users. FTC itself may not be the regulatory body to address those, but don't you think it is nonetheless a legitimate interest of the US govt to regulate, if Twitter is a US company?

The hearing also shed light on how European regulation (France in particular, I think), was recognized within Twitter as something to take seriously, as opposed to how US regulation would result in, at worst, one-time fines.

Another revelation https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=32566507 is that India had an agent working within Twitter. I don't know if that's a Dept of Labor regulation violation, but my general concern is that if you celebrate limits in US govt regulation, you may be celebrating having low vision of the harmful activities of foreign governments.

I’m a Fullstack Software Engineer who brings a passion for solving problems and delivering results through code! I’m constantly learning new things and getting to apply them to interesting problems. My latest work developing Sentinel, an open-source, self-hosted, platform as a service, is a great example of doing just that.

I'm really proud of leading the design of Sentinel's core architecture which provides the flexibility to be deployed in any cloud provider. This involved automating the configuration and provisioning of compute instances with Terraform and Ansible. I also played a significant role in developing Sentinel’s command line interface using the OCLIF framework and TypeScript, as well as designing a RESTful API written in Node.js, and much more!

If I seem like a good fit feel free to shoot me an email. I look forward to hearing from you!

Brain interfacing reduces latency for sure, but until then the office-seat-parked-beside-a-workstation is the default, and hasn't changed. Phones reduce latency, but I've found they only really shine as consumption devices and I can't code or do anything super productive with them, apart from taking photos, typing tweets etc

VR headsets look promising and may reduce latency but will probably come with their own caveats too, so there is no golden solution to this apart from physically wiring a computer to your brain which will probably be our last good invention.
Nah, we really were not doing feature branches. That would require us to branch out and then merge the branch once the feature is complete - that's what we did initially. Since that didn't work out for us, we committed and pushed basically any non-breaking piece of code, regardless of whether the feature was (ever) finished. A single feature could've been anywhere between 1-20 days of work (let's say 5 days average), but we committed - and pushed to main - roughly every few hours, so none of that "only on your machine" stuff you're talking about.

I'm glad that your preferred branching strategy works out well for you.
Given Twitter's centrality in the flow of information, it would be unreasonable to not expect foreign agents (along with extremists of every flavor, financial fraud artists, and who knows what else) to try to get inside.

The same is true of Facebook and Google.
I see potential for playing with your Switch on a beefy community server, where the server is responsible for UPS.

Edit: I guess the client also has to run the simulation, never mind. It seems like overall, Factorio is well under-optimized though. For a game that has been out forever, it still has a huge ceiling.

That's funny. No. They can put their support behind another contender than Mr. Y (and English history has it's share of examples of crisis of succession, btw). In that case different factions that actually hold power get to duke it out to see whose candidate gets to be the new monarch/overlord/cesar/president. That is typically not peaceful, certainly not at the political level (think Tower of London) and may even involve actual guns and civil wars.
