So if you wanted a bunch of those to transmit onto the same bus/network, and use exponential backoff to resolve collisions, they would just keep colliding forever, right? Because even if they tried to seed their delay with randomness, they'd all do so the same way every time!

Unfortunely.

Of course there is, CMT was a build tool, not OS scripting.

No need to give me CERN links to me to show me Python bindings to ROOT, or Jupyter notebooks.

> The company in its argument to the EU competition enforcer said it operates five App Stores on iPhones, iPads, Mac computers, Apple TVs and Apple Watches, with each designed to distribute apps for a specific operating system and Apple device

They might as well count the iphones with different aspect ratios and inflate the number beyond five.
a 2-9% improvement at global scale is insane! This is not a small number by any means.
You sometimes see it, but mostly at events. Last time I had canned water was expo2020.

You can also get water in tetra pack paper containers. Again, I mostly see these at events where there is some reason to brand the water in an ecological fashion (had a pack that was imported from Norway to Dubai for cop28. I could really taste the sustainability in that one!)
It’s because the total dollars of capitalized software deployed in the world using Python has absolutely exploded from AI stuff. Just like how the total dollars of business conducted on the web was a big driver of JS performance earlier.

If you don't start with the professional tooling, you may have good fun, but nobody will hire you. When I entered the industry 20 years ago, "software development" generally meant desktop application development (Visual C++, Delphi) and "server-side web development" (PHP talking to MySQL, spitting out HTML). By just knowing how to upload files to an FTP server, you could do your own address book application or CD catalogue, and get hired.

Now you need to fool non-technical people into demonstrating "industry" knowledge of a specific combination of Tool A/B/C.
Yeah, thats a good question but i mean, feels like just a matter of time until someone figures that part out. If we can make GTA V load in under 2mins, we can solve human aging...
Sadly, it seems to be the only bug tracker or method of getting issues noticed by the tech firms with the issues.
That fact is directly due to the above, not the other way around.
Exponent, Shell.
I honestly don't understand why everyone misses a very important fact: iMessage is not an app, it's a service that uses Apple's servers and Apple's engineers to maintain it and you have not paid for it. No, as an Android user you do not have a right for free access, use SMS for that. It would have been nice if there was an Android iMessage App, but demanding for someone else to pay for you is dishonest.
My recommendation would be Duplicacy [0]. Code is also on GitHub [1].

It has a paid GUI version, $20 for the first year and $5 for subsequent years with discounts for multiple machines [2]. At least once they've run a promotion for a very cheap lifetime license.

Use it just from the CLI is free.

My setup is pretty simple, Syncthing and Duplicacy (GUI version) run in a docker container on my home server. Everything gets sync'd to the server and then Duplicacy backs it up hourly to a Hetzner Storage Box and BackBlaze B2.

The deduplication is a huge data saver on the cloud storage especially for pictures or videos that may be on multiple computers and different syncthing folders.

On my last build I completely bypassed the issue. I minimized noise and improved thermals by deshrouding the GPU (Zotac Amp 3080) and using 120mm Noctua fans for cooling, as shown in this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QUaZVpN51Po
I would still recommend running it properly locally, but whatever. Pseudo-devcontainer it is. I assume the code is properly volume mounted.

In production, you would want to run your app through gunicorn/uvicorn/whatever on an internal-only port, and reverse-proxy to it with a public-facing apache or similar.

Set up apache to reverse proxy like you would on prod, and run gunicorn/uvicorn l/whatever like you would on prod, except you also add the autoreload flag. E.g.

uvicorn main:app --host 0.0.0.0 --port 12345 --reload

If production uses containers, you should keep the python image slim and simple, including only gunicorn/uvicorn and have the reverse proxy in another container. Etc.
Emulate China? China emulated us.

The US had all that 100 years ago. We are passed that stage and bringing it back is going to have to be artificial and forced. And probably won't even work.

China is not a USA that figured out cheap manufacturing. China is an emerging economy that reaped the benefits of being an emerging economy (lax regulation + borderline slave labor). The same way (generally) the USA did 100 years ago to get to the advanced economy stage it is at today.
AFAIK Japan is also working on the Google and Apple monopoly or abuses with the store, so for the ones that always will use the same anti-EU arguments try to make them generic to also work for Japan.
> What's amazing is that you can also use git locally, without a server, using "git daemon".

I don’t think that’s amazing. What was amazing to me was back when I couldn’t set up a Subversion repository without a “server”.

Someone asks on StackOverflow about why `git push` behaves a certain way? The principle of Laziness dictates that you try to reproduce the issue with two sibling directories where one is a remote of the other one. Like they apparently do in one of Git’s integration tests:

git remote add $1 up ../mirror
I've been practicing guitar pretty hard for 4 years. Certainly not 8 hours a day since I have a job and wife, but at least 1 or 2 every day. I feel like maybe I'm not practicing the right things.

When you were playing guitar 8 hours a day, do you remember what you were doing for those 8 hours? Learning new songs? Practicing scales? Transcribing songs? I know all those things are important, but I'm still trying to figure out what I should really be spending my practice time doing.

I think my goal is just to be able to play with friends for fun, no gigs or anything like that, and sound decent, rhythm or lead. And maybe write a few songs.
I still have to try, what I have to lose?

I am still going to run out of time sooner or later, I should make it worth it.
Otherwise what is the point.
But with lots of power output, you can put up heavier craft, even much heavier craft. It's hard to know where all the curves would work out because we have no idea how large, or perhaps rather how small, a mature fusion reactor can be, which means it's more in the realm of science fiction right now than anything we can put real engineering to.

Some interesting actual work on fission-powered planes was done: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nuclear-powered_aircraft but as the article says the niche they would theoretically occupy ended up going away, especially since a crashing fusion-powered plane is a pretty significant inconvenience but a crashing fission-powered plane is a catastrophe. We're not used to thinking of air flight as something with huge amounts of power available to it for very long periods of time, so our intuitions don't match what is possible. Still, I would think these would be very expensive, if for no other reason than that there is no reason to build them unless you meant to make them very, very large. It's the sort of power plant that could make something like the helicarriers in the Avengers movies possible (albeit I suspect with rather more surface dedicated to control and pushing through air) and it would probably have to be a plane, not a helicopter-based system), but even if we had the blueprints in hand we'd be looking at investments sized more like Navy ships than airplanes.
You should set your browser to always open pages in Reader View. Especially on mobile. If needed, you can easily turn it off for specific pages. This blocks all crap and leaves you with the text and images only.
please permit me to indulge the most extreme example of what you just said.

He went off trying to raise money from the Middle East to create a startup he would have controlled trying to make AI accelerator hardware. The conflict of interest vs what OpenAI was doing was absurd. Don't thieve from one startup to build your own next startup.

Given AIs power and hype & control over people, maybe also don't go about trying to disrupt the industry with a bunch of anti-Democracy sovereign powers. Maybe stay a little closer to home.

There's so much general banter in comments about ownership & what to do/what not to do. Little of it is specific to what happened here. Don't undermine your startup by creating a new startup thats going to overtake & subjugate your current startup. The people running the current one don't want to be devoured.
More glaring about the claimed performance gain is that they didn't mention what code they ran (as far as I could see). Was it a selected small piece of code or was it a big Django monolith? As I didn't see any mention of what code it was I'm going to assume the former, and that the latter will actually get worse performance. Because that is what typically happens when someone build a new JIT compiler. It takes a couple of iterations of optimizations for them to become useful on nontrivial code.
Local Storage falls apart on iPad/iPhone, unfortunately. The data is deleted if you don’t visit the site often enough. I lost my Wordle stats over a vacation this way.

Even worse, if you have an HTML game hosted on itch.io (which uses a cross-domain iframe, for security), Safari just silently discards all Local Storage when you close the tab, with no option to disable this behavior on a specific site.

I know Local Storage is supposed to be just a cache, but I really wish we had opt-in durable storage…
You don't. You get no-fee access to iMessage with your Apple devices (phones, tablets, laptops, desktops). Why is that relevant though? Why should Apple be forced to support apps on their competitor's platform?
As with many things “not profitable enough” is a huge detriment to society and a huge flaw with unchecked capitalism when so much wealth accumulates at the top
Mixed feelings. I’d like a GNU store but that’s about it. It will be annoying when people start using the Facebook spyware store or some other junk. That’s their choice I guess, but it makes the ecosystem work (typo edit: work should be worse) I think.
I had assumed that eventually, we'd see chips with integrated memory after the Apple Silicon chips did it.
> he still is able to show enough "EQ" to his team and investors to keep them happy.

He was really good at hiring (and listening to) people who were better than him at lots of other things. Sheryl Sandberg in particular is probably more responsible for FB's success than anyone except him.

He also retained a ridiculously large proportion of those early folks, who could tell him he was being dumb. He's basically lost almost all of them in the past 3-5 years (to be fair, they were all billionaires so he did well to retain them for as long as he did), so we'll have to see how the next 5-10 years work out.

> That can make homes worth less and harder to sell

Their home is worth less as climate risk increases. It is just being priced appropriately. A house that is now in a more severe disaster zone is reasonably worth less.

> Richard Redmond was quoted $7,500 a year for federal flood insurance for his new home on a barrier island on Florida’s east coast. “I chose to forgo the flood policy,” he said. “A $7,500 annual fee for $350,000 of coverage makes no sense.”

Seems like a relative bargain given the location.
You can also buy a used card. Most mid+ cards from the last 5 years are quite capable. I got a 5700 XT to play some games and it’s I think better than any console you can buy? Cost $170 I think. Can do 1440p in most games still
I honestly don't understand why everyone misses a very important fact: iCloud email is not an app, it's a service that uses Apple's email servers and Apple's engineers to maintain it. No, as an Android user you do not have a right for free access to other people's iCloud inboxes.

Well, it's in a 3D perspective so we have the third option of saying that they're both to scale and that the perceived size difference is a forced-perspective illusion. In that case you could actually measure the distance depicted in the diagram, though I have my doubts about how accurate they bothered to make it!

It appears that the problem is related to the version string transmitted by Firefox Mobile. If they were to send an older user agent string, the issue would likely be resolved. However, any rollback would need to be implemented by Firefox, and it seems they are not at fault here.

From Google's standpoint, this issue may be considered a "new" bug, which means they need to conduct an investigation and address it. Consequently, a rollback is not a viable solution for them.

Nobody really cares about audio quality any more.

I used to, but I realised that my mid-40s ears are now the limiting factor, so I might as well have the convenience of wireless.

The real problem isn't 'another device to charge' though, it's battery degradation and the wasteful, disposable nature of Airpods.
It is not about how long it took. It's because the pilots forgot to pull the circuit breaker.

In most crashes, both recorders lose power so it's not a problem. In cases like this and the plane is fine, the pilots need to pull the breakers.

Recorders have been found months after accidents and still retain all data.

Ha. Not the parent but most likely it fell out of their pocket while on the roof - perhaps cleaning said gutters - and wasn’t noticed until later.

I did something similar many years ago with a Motorola razr phone. I was digging trenches for an irrigation system. I checked for my phone a day later and had no idea where it went. My best guess is that it fell out of my pocket and into the trench, which was subsequently covered up.

I joke that one day a more advanced civilization will dig up this ancient artifact, wonder what its purpose could have been, and make up some fantastical story after the fact as to why it ended up in that shallow trench.

That would not be possible because Macs are much more open by design. There are so many methods to subvert such a restriction, and most of them can't be removed without significantly degrading the utility of the OS.
