Airpods are not paired with a device: they're paired with your Apple ID. If I pair the airpods with my iPad, I can seamlessly switch them to iphone, to Mac, to my Apple TV. They'll even auto-switch if it detects you've stopped using your current device.

Airpods automatically try to pair with a nearby iphone when opened, if one of your own devices isn't around. All of this is through a pretty fancy UI, just for Airpods and Beats
A lot of the article is less "monitoring is a pain" and more "distributed systems are a pain". Everything is harder in a distributed system, not just monitoring, and the author's fixing of the blame on monitoring tools is a distraction from what's actually causing their headaches.
…sure, but this is essentially the same thing as greedflation. An exogenous shock created the circumstances for a price increase, but instead of restabilizing relative to inputs, companies decided (arguably conspired) to set this as a new price floor. And because of a lack of government regulation around monopolies and collusion, are getting away with doing so.
Can someone explain what wokeness means? I would be interested in what someone says that does not consider themself woke and also by someone that does consider themself woke? I suspect the definitions will be very different.
It looks pretty cool. Is there a plugin that is just "convert this program into a plugin"? i.e. say I'm doing some networking set up and I want to check whether what I'm doing is improving or reducing effective performance. I would like:

1. One pane with my UDP benchmark between two of my machines

2. One pane with my UDP benchmark between two other machines

3. One pane which is a normal terminal where I'm going to make my changes

So what I'd do is make my changes in normal terminal, then switch over to #1 and hit Enter and it runs, then switch over to #2 and it runs. I don't want to write a specific plugin for my UDP benchmark tool. I want a plugin that takes a pre-baked command (with flags and arguments) and turns it into a pane that I can just switch to and hit Enter.

Honestly, I currently use a tiling terminal emulator (iTerm2) and it's not bad, but I have to hit Up+Enter and then that's overlapping with the history of whatever shell is on that machine.
Well, "easily" - I am not totally sure, but it can happen without much trouble. I guess depends on your definition of easily.
SBA Lost $200B in Covid Pandemic Relief to Fraud and Abuse
I would not say that the C# runtime is slow, but it is a JIT compiler that is not optimizing for start-up (as far as I know), and it is "doing a lot of work" at runtime to achieve the eventual performance it is capable of.
Start-up time is not the most important property for a lot of services, but for user applications it's pretty high up there, so if the underlying runtime is not optimizing for that this shows a disconnect in the choice of technology stack.

I'm quite impressed of both .NET and OpenJDK in some metrics, but it is often not resource efficient, which is something I do value.

One example of an application that works as I would expect others to do is MuPDF, Being able to open 20MB+ PDFs in 1/10 seconds on a 10 years+ old laptop.

By the way, does anyone know why Debian launches LibreOffice so much quicker than Ubuntu, Fedora or Archlinux (or any other distro I've tested with)? In Debian its 1-2 seconds, and the others 5-10 seconds. I mean it could be included extensions or how they are configured, but I'm honestly interested.
If you lived without a care for money, focused on discovering yourself and living in service of your fell kind, you will enter in an unimaginable abundance and thrive beyond anything you'd dream. That is living.

When you are on your deathbed someday, I wonder if you'll have a wish like "I wish I worked even harder and made even more money." You might be the only one ever in mankind's history if so!
Monitoring is more about process than logs .

The logs (including text logging, telemetry) are just signals.

The way to improve monitoring is by continuing to refine s/n ratio & critical alert health through continuous review of signals and identifying leading indicators.

Every week you should identify the critical objectives and the leading indicators that represent healthy and unhealthy states for those. Also identify false positives and noisy alerts and work to reduce noise.

For example, how many people are checking out, adding to cart, viewing the website. What are indicators of health and error conditions. What are true signals and what are noise?

The biggest issue i see is people setting up logging and alerting without continuing to revise and improve the process.
We decided to outsource this pain to Azure. Az Monitor & Application Insights are far from perfect (I can't stand their UI for querying logs), but it really does "just work" out of the box unless you are using something very non-ms with it. If you are throwing a happy path thing like .NET6 on top of Az function runners, you can expect to not have to configure anything, aside from an option at app creation time.

Our primary mission around monitoring is to proactively respond to customers before they call us regarding exceptions in their environments. Az Monitor w/ basic alerts are all we really need to get that job done.

After spending 20 minutes with these tools, I felt really dumb for rolling our in house solution the last ~8 years. All we had to do was take a look and try. There is absolutely no way in hell that my team can compete with the resources of a trillion dollar hyperscaler like this.

The long game I am looking towards is the partnership between MS & OpenAI. "AIOps" is already listed as a "Respond" option under Az Monitor in their documentation. Anyone who has been standing on principle against Microsoft has to at least see some of the light coming through this tunnel by now, train or no train.
Off-hand the only situation where I remember people being mocked for switching positions toward favoring gay marriage is politicians, such as in a Matthew Bors comic [0]. But politicians are widely perceived to change their public stances for insincere reasons, so this example suggests that it’s insincerity, not changing positions, that people tend to mock.

As an instruction set, yes, but I think this was inevitable with the demand for things like native USB, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and hobbyists wanting to use languages like Python. These boards do a lot more than the ATMegas I grew up with, and while almost every new design in this space might go with ARM thanks to generous specs and low cost and power requirements, I think there's still a good amount of competition in the 32bit microcontroller market (ST, TI, Microchip, NXP, etc. come to mind).

If there are runs of zeros, this should result in a number greater than 25000:

for i in {1..100000}; do echo $((RANDOM % 2))$((RANDOM % 2)); done | grep 00 | wc

For me, it always comes out very close to 25000.

I wish there was more context to these, especially this one. For example, how much of this is perception compared to what they were used to (go?, Python?, C++?)? Or is it "any waiting is bad"?

From an improvement perspective, I'd also love to know why their builds are slow. Is it proc-macro heavy? Do they have wide and deep dependency graphs? Do they have large individual crates? And so on.

What percentage of 9-10mph crashes do you think result in any emergency services being called? I would hazard a guess that it's less than 50% including a non-emergency call to police and less than 10% for EMS. It absolutely does not warrant an automatic call to 911.
Until I moved to FreeBSD in the mid 2000s I ran Gentoo primarily. Even though it had a bit more hand holding than LFS, it still taught me a lot and getting to choose implementations allowed consideration of design choices (cron, mail, syslog, etc.).

I’ve tried to return a few times but it’s a bit different now and I’m happy enough with FreeBSD that I don’t have much place for it. I do wish more embedded distros would have started with Gentoo (specifically ARM SBCs).
Sounds like a valuable formative experience.

> maybe if nvidia optimus is at play?

In this case Windows is the only sane choice (at least based on my experience from 2 years ago).

After a lot of reading random docs, I got to a point where I could stop the GPU from eating the battery doing nothing, but I could only disable/enable it by logging out then in. It was either no GPU at all or a GPU drawing maximum power, no in-between.

Maybe Nvidia's latest code releases will help with that?

A lot of macOS behavior can be toggled by modifying the system component defaults.

For example, turn off autohiding of the Dock from commandline:

defaults write com.apple.dock "autohide" -bool "false" && killall Dock

Include the date in screenshots you take:

defaults write com.apple.screencapture "include-date" -bool "true"

Here is handy website which documents many of the defaults and their purpose:

I've never seen a team that encouraged writing new macros to solve routine problems. But I've certainly been on teams that made heavy use of a few carefully deployed macros to solve recurring problems specific to that codebase.

I think elixir's sigils are probably the closest thing I've seen to "routine, encouraged macro use." Since almost every application will end up with a bit of template lite almost-dsl pseudo language for something or other. They're simpler than defining a grammar & writing a parser and more maintainable than regex.
Well, then I'd say ERROR is a very bad name. Because it's a well defined word with a precise meaning. If you tell somebody "an error happened here" they will have no trouble understanding it, and what they understand won't be "we need to wake up somebody to deal with this NOW!".

Those names are proof that your logging structure was created for debugging, not for production.

This isn't something that anyone should be surprised about. They were basically handing out these "loans" like if they didn't they would get fired. The amount of people bragging about it at the time on social media was enough to know that the vast majority of these loans were going to be abused.

For the SBA loans, if the applicant didn't request over 25k and put up collateral, they will never see a single payment.

For the PPP loans, that money was gone with the intention of not getting it back.
Woke used to be an endearing term at some point. You're assuming that the quotes are there to poke fun of it, they could be there because it's a foreign or coloquial term that the author is a bit unsure about too. You have not to lose by assuming good intention until irrevocably proven wrong. The US, being influential, ends up exporting a lot of its internal politics, however other parts of the world don't necessarily interpret them in the same way. I've seen people in Brazil using the term woke in a positive way. To be honest, I only learned now that it's always pejorative.
I don't like this article.

- we are all doing monitoring wrong? No, sorry.

- You set up these tools with the mentality of "set and forget" but they actually require ever increasing amounts of maintenance? The tools and your monitoring rules require maintainance like everything in IT.

- Logs OK, don't use logs for monitoring.

- Metrics Yes, do use time series for monitoring.

- Prometheus is really designed to be running on one server. You can scale vertically ... Actually you can operate more than one Prometheis behind a load balancer, avoiding the situation "when there is a Prometheus problem you lose visibility into your entire stack at once", and without needing to federate them.

I get it, getting closer to 50 myself. I've seen plenty of older devs that try to coast it in at the end. I never had any intention of ever retiring, so I just keep learning. Still spend 10-15 hours a week reading on things. I don't always have the motivation to actually experiment on non-work projects as much though.
Everybody’s physiology is different of course but I found that even when I was eating 5 eggs a day, my LDL actually dropped. (HDL is more a function of exercise)

I don’t think it’s that clear that dietary cholesterol is highly correlated with serum cholesterol in everyone. For me my LDL seems to be more correlated with excess carbs and sugar — when I cut back on those while maintaining my egg diet my LDL actually got better. (But this is not medical advice, please consult your doctor. May not be true for people with underlying conditions that require Lipitor)

My experience matches this guy’s (but please discount this type of bro science appropriately — YMMV)

Very well said. Let’s bring a few salient points:

All of us here work at jobs, possibly in very large corporates. Do we see anything illegal going on? I would reckon that >90% of us have gone through our corporate life without ever being a part of anything close to even illegal, at worst we forward something to legal to be extra sure. So if we think corporations are regularly behaving illegally, we all have simultaneously seemed to have lucked out to be in the one the one ethical and legally compliant organization.

If some part of your worldview is that the world is being filled with greedy, selfish and unethical people, constantly trying to screw over others but you are the exception most likely your worldview is completely off (Most people view themselves as the good guy/ hero of their world). In my experience it is very unlikely for anyone in C Suite to ever risk any actual fraud in their dealings (or anyone in the organization really), however lawyers are essentially parasites on society who feed on productive work to make a living while gaslighting rest of society into believing that they’re playing an important role in protecting it.

I'm referring thinking in this context as "thinking for yourself" and the ability to distinguish lies from truths and being able to accept some as undetermined.

And flexibility as having gone through the "thinking" phase and arriving at a conclusion and opinion, the ability to defend, bend or uproot the previous conclusion or opinion as supported by newer evidence and experience.

Then there's people who pretend to be one but are another, some who don't know who they are, some who are splendid pragmatists in some areas and astute dogmatists in others.

And then you come across some weathernerves who've done much better for themselves simply by following , some dogmatists who've done well for themselves by leading the skeptics. While the pragmatists, sit around gathering and categorizing others and themselves, and some others commenting on such comments, thinking they've finally; finally figured it out.

Oh! The variety. Such is life...
It's not even clear if FedEx has anything to do with this. The other named defendant is "Holman Fleet Leasing", which seems to imply these vehicles were leased to FedEx.

If that's the case, then any possible scandal here would be squarely on the company selling the vehicles - not FedEx.

FedEx might just be a tacked-on name. You see that quite often with Prop 65 cases. The plaintiff attorneys add anyone even remotely related to the case, just to drive up pressure and chaos, hoping for quicker/larger settlement offers.

In this situation, even if FedEx has nothing to do with vehicles sales, they might opt to settle and write a check just to make the bad publicity go away. If you think that sounds like a shakedown, you'd be right.

Ask HN: Any simple, cross platform app for playing with Stable Diffusion?
I'm aware of DiffusionBee, but it's only for macOS currently.

I know of AUTOMATIC1111's project, but it only really caters for developers. You have to download files, clone it with git, move stuff around... it's a horrible user experience. Not one click.

I found a project called EasyDiffusion, but the installer started dropping a horrifying volume of files on to my disk including masses of useless Python dependencies, including tests which should really not be in there. All of it's just bundled into the installer. And it looks like this stuff was just built by hand and uploaded to GitHub Releases by the author. The UI is also in-browser, not native.

Is there going be a simple, hermetic way to play with this stuff for Windows?

Everything social progressives in the US are currently for (at least, all the parts that are at all distinct from what the median American is for), and methods they use in an effort to move toward their goals.

When I was a teenager adventuring through the GNU/Linux userland and all its interchangeable components (including on Gentoo!), OpenRC was awesome compared to what I was used to (SysV). Beautiful colorized output, fast startup with parallel execution of jobs... all before Upstart (RIP, though I don't miss it) and Systemd.

I'm pretty happy with Systemd these days, and in some ways I don't mind the way it has 'standardized' (read: dominated) Linux stacks. But I'm glad that people are still doing the work to keep OpenRC viable and integrating it into a full-featured, long-lived, relatively popular distro.
