HTTP Streams (and Server Sent Events - which is a predefined body format that is understood among web browsers) are supported just fine by most infrastructure - probably even better than websockets.

The advantage of them is that "they are just HTTP requests", so as long as your proxy actually can forward request and response bodies in a streaming fashion it will work. There's no need to understand the contents. It will not work if the proxy is implemented by waiting for the whole HTTP response to complete before forwarding the body. But that wouldn't work very well for a whole lot of other use-cases like file transfers, where buffering the whole body is not practical.

A caveat is that most proxies won't allow for indefinite body body streaming, since they want to avoid all the TCP connections being tied up, so it's likely that the streaming would be interrupted at some time. In that case a reconnect logic would be necessary. But same applies to websockets.
Before 2001, government security checkpoints were extremely rare throughout most airports worldwide. In the US in particular, there'd be some bored private security with metal detectors at most that you didn't even need a ticket to get past.
Was just there at re:invent the other week, and I couldn't point to anything different about the airport WRT security and TSA. Very long lines, traffic in and out of the airport was _insane_. My last impressions of Vegas were the terrible traffic, long lines for a limited selection of airport food, but hey, if I wanted to play slots, there they were.

Yes, F1 had wrapped up the week ago, but it didn't seem like they were hurrying to take anything down.

I don't think it's weird at all -- but then, I've been the same way for several decades. My colleagues are not my friends (nor should they be) and I don't interact with them as I interact with my friends. This includes not talking with them much about about what happens in my life outside of work.

15% seems reasonable. They're not only charging to cover payment processing, there are salaries to pay for those developing the app stores, the human app reviewers (virtually non-existent in case of Google Play), storage, bandwidth, etc.

Granted, both Apple and Google also earn money from ads (shame on Apple's part). In that case I can sort of see the justification to lower their cut to below 15%.

> But Gen Zers, who are just beginning their career journeys, are having an especially difficult time. In a 2022 survey by the meditation app Calm, 58% of Gen Zers said they felt anxious frequently or all the time — a big jump from the one-third of Gen Xers and one-quarter of baby boomers who said the same. A Deloitte survey of 22,000 people from March found a similar result: Nearly half of Gen Zers said they felt anxious and stressed almost all the time, while only 39% of millennials said they felt the same.

> In a survey conducted by Gallup, nearly half of workers ages 18 to 29 reported that their job had negatively affected their mental health. In some cases, the stress of the workplace manifests as a sense of ambivalence and withdrawal from their professional lives. Another Gallup survey found that Gen Z was the least engaged group in the workplace and the most burned out from their jobs.

The lower end of the cohort has barely worked long enough to be worrying about layoffs or lack of pride in their work. My own career only started at 30. This is the generation that bullied parents and teachers around for years with weaponized psychobabble and made pronoun enforcement a thing (like we live in a goddamn MUSH).

Now they're entering the workplace and finding that being a master wordsmith of Reddit rhetoric doesn't translate to economic value. Their only path to success involves cancelling everyone critical of them to invoke the Peter Principle, and if they can't do that, they melt down.
That does sound feasible. There are a number of airports (SFO probably being the largest) that have their security screening performed by non-TSA third-party companies, which I suppose is the ultimate political embarrasment lever to pull.
It is but it was a reasonable leap on Quake - Quake had 256 colour palette for the whole game whereas Half-Life had a 256 colour palette per texture, Half-Life got coloured lighting, Quake had game code written in QuakeC whereas Half-Life had game code written in C/C++, Quake had vertex animations but Half-Life had skeletal animations etc.
Definitely the same bones and I'd say that a lot of engine code would be identical, but there were some big changes that aren't trivial to implement in id Tech 2 to get feature parity with Half-Life.

That doesn't really explain why the number of British expats living in America is 3x the amount of American expats living in Britain. Coupled with the fact that America has ~5x the population of Britain, that means a British person is 15x more likely to move to America than an American person is to move to Britain.
So it was never really lost. As far as we know it simply wasn't produced in 1 particular region (Europe) for a relatively short amount of time (1 century).

And, like I said before, it did not offer any significant structural advantages for its labor inefficiency. So "Damascus steel" is just 1 minor technique of producing a specific steel alloy, with many substitutes that had been used in its place.

It's not like human civilization suddenly lost the technology of steel production and forging.

Lost tech is a meme. I could say the modern humanity lost the tech of making horse armor, but it is just inaccurate semantics. We can still make metal and we can still make armor in the shape of a horse, we just don't, because there's no demand for it.

Yeah, mandatory treatment is a touchy subject, and getting it funded is a task itself. I think we might see better results if we had a doctor advised period of mandatory treatment. Maybe 1-6 months based on the situation. Unfortunately I don't think such a thing is feasible in the US at the moment.
Plane hijacking was an every decade occurrence. So there there isn't enough data to say if they have made a difference yet (this is debatable, but there at least isn't enough data to have high confidence). That is before we get into confounders: the economy is different. The 9/11 hijacking changed the game so potential hijackers are less likely to try since passengers are no longer going to sit back expecting a free trip to Cuba. cockpits are not locked in flight, so a hijacker couldn't do anything even if they tried.

None of the TSA screening changes would have made a difference. The knifes the hijackers used were placed on the planes ahead of time (the old metal detectors would have found them). Checking IDs against a no-fly list could be done in many less intrusive ways.

Yes. Construction loans include electrical.
Of course there are people that make stuff. There are VW factories, there are natural gas wells, there is a baker just down the road selling bread. But the author is using an anecdote to make a point: America is about making stuff. Most people in the US make things. We have government bureaucrats and university professors and data entry people, but a larger portion of our population creates things, it's a part of our culture to be creative, it's no longer really like that in Europe with a few exceptions (the Netherlands for example exports a ton of food) and you see that when you look at aggregate imports vs exports.
> Whether a user is in Safari, Safari View Controller, or another browser on iPhone or iPad, when they tap “Add to Home Screen” and create a web app, the cookies are copied over, including the information about login state. This will only work if the authentication state is stored within cookies. No other kind of local storage is copied over.

So an offline-first app will not work. A user has to login if they want to see the same data when they open a web app from the home screen and when they open the same web app from the browser, and the data has to be synced in the cloud to make that work. Great for privacy.

It's be neat to see smaller ram happen in desktops and servers too.

But CAMM's clearly ridiculously horizontally aligned. An incredibly dense two dimensional surface-to-surfave connector. I'd love to be wrong, but even being so small, seems hard to imagine that in a desktop+ sized system.

On the plus side, it is a dual-channel (quad ddr5's half-sized 32b) setup! So it takes over a lot of other connectors! But it's seems unlikely-ish.

One common theme I've noticed with Progressive policy on the west coast is that well make the progressive amendments to our laws and policies, but we don't have the institutions to support those policies.

At least with Portugal, they have a stick in their policy that enforces treatment and medical attention if you're strung out and using on the street.

There's so much nuance to the WiFi problem. So many put the ISP owned gateways on the floor, behind a TV, in the basement, in the attic, etc. Like an overwhelmingly large amount do not understand that putting your gateway in a bedroom closet on the opposite side of the house when you need it in say, the living room is nearly always the problem.

The only time I can recall when it wasn't for goofy reasons, was the launch of the Intel Puma chipset, where it would suffer from a CPU issue causing packet loss, or freeze until hard restarted.

" full stack rf role"

This is the right idea, in many cases, the "HW" team might focus on RF but does "antennas to bits" (i hate that term) because of the need to get a prototype up and running to test it. If you have baseband circuit and DSP experience you could be poised for a lateral move especially since the operational frequency will be less critical for your skills. For example, without years of mmWave experience a move into doing mmWave RF wouldn't make sense but that doesn't mean you can't work on other parts of the mmWave system.

RF HW design is very much a systems engineering field and folks that have experience in each block are more desirable than ones that focus on only one piece in most cases.
> Whenever I go to an art or craft fair, I’m struck by the feeling that in a different world there would be a market for ‘artisanal software’ - with varying ratios of utility vs. aesthetics as the other arts and crafts have - and with independent software craftspeople selling interesting apps.

I recently watched the 5 hour cut of Until the End of the World (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Until_the_End_of_the_World), which is an early 90s movie set "20 Minutes into the Future" (https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/TwentyMinutesInt...).

> I'm not an expert on Python but I don't see how Python is significantly more dynamic than e.g. JavaScript.

JS has much less in the way of magic methods that can affect "normal" object behaviour, and it doesn't have metaclasses in the way that Python does at all. Most of this customization goes unused most of the time, but the runtime still has to handle it in case it's being used this time.
Also pretty critically it moves the reckoning past the Q4/Q1 boundary, where annual budgets and performance reviews are being decided. That could be the difference between layoffs vs. hiring in your department, between departures vs. high morale, or between re-orgs vs. continued productivity. If you can fake it for an extra couple weeks, it might mean getting another year of continued funding, and with an extra year of continued funding you might just deliver what you originally promised.
Before 2001 you could in some cases buy your ticket at the gate (most of the time no, but some high demand routes they did do this). You could escort you kid right to the gate, and on the other end "grandma" would be waiting as they got off. We lost a lot.
It depends entirely on your social circles. That’s why all these discussions about $some_platform being completely useless because of course everyone uses $other_platform are completely pointless. I haven’t seen any of these in which there was any useful information or even a hint of looking things in perspective. It’s only people telling everyone else that no platform is relevant except for their pet app.

I'm not sure if that's what the legislation is about though? I hoped for it to be more about legal responsibility for the results of operating AI services, considering they pose difficult legal challenges, at least I suppose so, regarding responsibility.

I admit that I have not studied the law in detail, and in case it wasn't clear, I am Not A Lawyer.

If the law instead is about regulating the release of model weights, I will understand this and it would of course disappoint me.

It’s not a risk, it’s a certainty, and I ask:

So what?

We saw life under criminalized gambling. There was more loan sharking and kneecap breaking going on but overall gambling happened on a much smaller scale than it did under legalization. The people I see hurt by gambling only seems to have skyrocketed to me since legalization. The legal for-profit gambling industry does more harm than the gangsters ever did.

Just because alcohol criminalization isn’t worth it doesn’t mean we have to throw away criminalization as a tool in the toolbox.

> And no one seems willing or able to hold him accountable

And...this isn't Musk's fault, just like winning the 2016 election wasn't Trump's fault. Instead, the responsible use their power and influence to general smokescreens of distraction. There's no focusing on the real problems - e.g., the cluster fuck once known as The Fourth Estate - when the public can be easily manipulated with hyperbole, non-news, etc.
The presupposition was "let's assume it was an engineering problem, how would they solve it". Obviously we can revert it back to a business choice rather than engineering problem rather trivially.
(5) was particularly bad: an off center hole should have been visible to the naked eye of any trained machinist, and at least one person should have inspected all safety critical parts. This would have been the final fail-safe to catch the combination of all prior errors. It was not made.

There's actually another failure - (6) - which is the failure to perform visual inspection of the assembling mechanic which should have generated a query or note at the very least. While at this point the mechanic is probably given specific points to check, and an aggressive timeline for assembly, and has little motivation to extend critical thinking beyond the assembly task as they cannot possibly intuit all of the design intent for every part and subassembly, a better run assembly process with a culture of observation would have had this flagged for verification with designers.
Is this any different than the sailing stones of death valley?
It's really frustrating to see this headline. The officials decriminalized drugs, wiped their hands and backed off from any follow-up legislation to keep it working correctly. It reminds me a lot of the ACA. Officials got the bill passed and have collectively stopped making updates to the program to keep it healthy, but then constantly criticize its faults. American politics are sad in that it's hard to celebrate any victories when you know those victories are doomed to mismanagement anyway.
> Not to mention the changed calculus for the passengers if a hijacking were to occur.

If there were no air marshals, and the cockpit door was replaced with a 1970s-style beaded curtain hippie door, I would still expect future hijacking attempts to fail.

Before 2001, a hijacking was almost guaranteed to be an inconvenience for the rest of the passengers. A diversion to another airport, being stuck on the plane while negotiations happen, etc. After 2001 every passenger is going to assume they're being commandeered as a missile. There will be tons of resistance from 1A all the way to 33F.

(Strong cockpit doors are still a good idea. I'm not arguing otherwise. But the changed calculus you mention is enormous. It alone I think would make successful hijackings a rare occurrence.)

How fast is it going when it arrives at Oumuamua?

Or to put it another way... how long will it have to gather data?
Both gambling and drugs (alcohol is a drug too) need one small but utterly crippling regulation everywhere in the world. Ban advertising. No advertising of any kind, electronic or physical. No logos, no brands, no specific color patterns if they happen to do gambling or drugs. No advertisement via product placement - so no products on visible market shelves. But otherwise leave them legal.

I'm guessing that as soon as overaggressive advertisement is banned they will immediately lose a majority of fresh marks and victims. During BigTobacco trials those companies showed stats that the overwhelming majority of new smokers are teenagers. As soon as they can't be easily influenced the abuse usage will go down.
This is the right answer and it is hopefully one people will converge on, although true to form it will be after trying everything else. Its super frustrating in a lot of cities right now because the current political environment seems to want to have a "stochastic junkie" if you will. When it comes to violence, disorder, theft and just generally refusing to be part of society in a non-harmful way all we get right now is a ton of verbiage about how addiction is a disease, these people can't be held responsible for the actions they've undertaken, they're serving their addiction, etc, etc, etc. And so then someone says "Well if they are completely incapable of conducting themselves rationally then we should probably step in and force them into treatment to remove the thing that is making them act this way." And of course a huge uproar comes in response from the same enablers "We can't force them into treatment! They have rights! We need to wait until they choose to enter treatment and they have to consciously take responsibility for completing the treatment."

And so we're caught in this terrible in-between with people who can't be held responsible for their actions, but who also can't have the state enforce care on them unless they ask for it, and regular citizens just trying to peacefully live their lives bear the brunt of it. Its a luxury belief whose costs are disproportionately borne by the lower income members of society which makes it even more galling to watch it masquerade as some sort of progressivism. Ultimately people are going to force politicians to make a choice. If these people aren't responsible then the state needs to step in until they can become responsible. If they have inalienable rights then they also have responsibilities that come with those rights and need to be punished for their misdeeds. The current path is not cutting it and the voting public is waking up to that.
> therefore discussed is iMessage, which categorically is not SMS/MMS

That's not the reality though, correct? When I send a message to a friend using the Messages app it's being sent as an iMessage if both of us use an iPhone. I don't care what the format is, my intention is to send an SMS. So you can't use this as evidence of popularity of iMessages.

Just looking at my message list: at least 40% of my messages are alerts, reminders, payment confirmations, etc. Are you saying in Europe people get those via Signal?
>2.4GHz band has 14 channels and I've never told my setup which one to use.

This is an issue because some channels don't overlap, so if there's interference on a particular channel, your throughput is going to tank. Additionally, if the gateway/router/ap is always switching channels this will cause low power devices (nearly anything mobile) to disconnect and attempt to reconnect.

I'm still under the assumption that it's preferred to pull a Wifi survey before deploying any hardware so that it can be setup properly to function reliably.
