If that were to be the reasoning, the least they could do is provide 2 ports on phones so nobody needs a dongle to listen while charging.
That's fair. I don't have any elderly relatives I'm responsible for, but if/when that situation arrises I'd probably try to set up contact records for their caregivers and providers. It's a shame that scammers and spammers have ruined our telecommunications system and that the telecom companies haven't done anything about it.
Yeah, oral appliances don't fix the actual problem: tongue slacking into the back of the throat. It's the same reason a chin strap will just make you choke.

Supposedly you can "train" your tongue to stay in position with tongue & jaw exercises, but I saw no effect.
Meh feels like something without teeth that won’t really help. I’d rather see the FCC require telcos & celcos to require caller authentication so that spam calls can be traced to their source and cannot be anonymous, and so that spammers can no longer spoof numbers. I’m cynical about this and I’d love to be wrong, but get the feeling the FCC doesn’t dare to do things that will make a real difference, or worse, actively looks the other way, since the service providers make money on spam calling and will throw a fit if regulation gets in the way of their profits.
Yeah. This is the most boring take on the story, but also probably the most correct, and definitely the most actionable for the rest of us.
The current MacBook Pro has an audio jack…
And bodybuilders always lose some muscle mass at the same time. This is the whole reason behind bulk and cut cycling.

Yes, the goal is to minimize the muscle loss. However, there is always some muscle loss.
Link leads to private/missing page now.
The difference is now they think one of those small looped dimensions is much bigger than others, around a micron in diameter, and gravitational anomalies can be experimentally tested when two masses are within a micron from each other.
Does it really matter? It's terrible judgement to post something whose intended meaning hinges on whether you know an American rap song from ~30 years ago to a public venue like Twitter. There are plenty of voters who weren't even born when Tupac was still alive.
Yes, away with those pesky DVDs—stream everything. Give us a portion of your income every month so that you may never pay just a single time to access some piece of media.
Yeah. What even is the of keeping things split?

RADV even has big commercial customers now (Valve).
> I can’t imagine him hurting a fly.

A lot of people say they never thought their neighbor could hurt someone, after the fact.
I'd be shocked if this isn't done already? It was a plot device in the Ben Affleck bank robbery movie where they foiled the police DNA swabs with hair clippings from the barber shop.
100GB Blu-Rays are pretty easy to find as well.
Can someone more knowledgeable of engineering/economics post an analysis why we dont have cheap EV cars?

It seems like you can take a Corolla, replace the drivetrain with a much cheaper and simpler EV drivetrain (with ~100 mile range), leave the rest of the car alone, and sell it for $15k would be a winning combo. The use of EVs for long travel is rare as is, and most people would be happy charging at home off their 220v drier plug to do the basics commute next day.

Seems like if I want to buy an EV now, the only options are basically a combination of an art piece, a bespoke computer that can stop functioning completely due to unproven software, and some systems designed for sport.
Oh. In that case it's no biggie.

To tack one additional problem onto your excellent list: the commit message is usually only the start of a conversation about why a change should be made. The rest of that discussion is whether it meets the bar and what needs to be adjusted before it can land on the collaborative trunk. Done well, that is valuable reading.

Git was designed with the distributed viewpoint. A commit message, as written by the author, is necessarily correct: I’ve decided this is right, and it’s on you to decide if you want to merge it into your history too.

In our current systems we usually have a URL in the commit message that links to the actual story behind the commit — the discussion on the pull request, merge request, or code review. I rarely see the results of these discussions being amended into the commit message. If the repo lives forever but the database behind the code review tool gets toasted then something just as important is lost forever.

(I come from a background of one idea equals one amended, fast forwarded commit to master. It’s possible other people rely on branch history to reflect the evolution of ideas and how they go from a request for review to approved code. In my experience branch histories tend to have very low quality commit messages and even then they only show one side of the conversation — the author’s responses to their reviewer’s and their own critiques.)

Everybody in my office (dev) prides themself on their great power of concentration. They can really get in the zone. Hyperfocus on that software all day.

But concentration has a dark side. When you focus on one thing you ignore 1000 other things. To the point of blindness even. And it can become a habit.

Such a creature, clear-sighted in his software work but blind to all else. That "all else" being a world of emotion and nuance and nameless fuzzy things.

That creature must surely be an asshole.

Eh. From what I've seen, needing an optical drive is pretty rare for most users these days. And when you do need one, the external USB cable variety is really cheap and works fine.

It is nice that on older laptops, like pre 2012 MacBook pros and ThinkPad T400s, you can swap the optical drive with an additional drive caddy and put multiple SSDs in the machine.
it unfairly punishes property owners in soft rental markets like the one we have now.

i’ve seen an unusual number of multifamily properties listed all over SF last few months.
I'm obliged to deal with one such individual. Unlike yours they have provided sources, typically in the form of images designed for disinfo hit and runs on Instagram and Facebook. I look up the studies they reference, and as in your case it totally misrepresents the data. The worst thing about it is the people behind them know exactly what they're doing.
Do you actually drive an EV, or are you just parroting FUD?
Nice polish on the app. However, I built this exact thing for myself using PowerShell (you could use any scripting language) , my OpenAI API Key and Snippety (on macOS). It was trivial to do and the costs are next to nothing.

But for users who want something ready made and don’t mind subscriptions this looks nice.
On the other hand, the systems are trained on “free” data so it kinda should be public property by default.

Claiming it’s fair use to suck up the entire web and pay wall the derived result is absurd argument.

They were probably waiting for him to slip up and say something like this.

This is a touch paranoid.

it was misinterpreted, he thought people would get a reference that they clearly did not

As a general matter, people should spend more time saying what they mean instead of engaging in meta-discourse of quoting cool references to each other for vibes. It's an unhealthy way to communicate; online discourse is totally irony-poisoned and (imho) this is partly why there's such a breakdown of social trust.

And really, don't you think throwing out lines like 'die slow motherfuckers' in public for cool points is a little...juvenile?

Watching the way they handled this recall so poorly got me to do whatever it took to reduce my snoring and mild sleep apnea down to almost nothing (mouth/throat/tongue exercises did the most followed by head positioning). The stories of people who relied on their CPAP caught up in it were heartbreaking and nerve wracking.

Edit: I used a combination of the Snore Gym app and Vik Veer's videos on Youtube. After a couple months my snoring became barely audible, but it doesn't always work for everyone. I was tilting my head down at night which blocked off my throat somewhat, so I lifted my head up higher with a bigger pillow.
love that this was built from the Apollo developer. Obviously incredibly talented.
The screenshots in the post are likely from the simulator.
It's so interesting to me that fundamental ways of life like this can go nearly undocumented save passing references. We know a lot more about the annals of Greek history, for example, because that's what was written down. Ekirch took years to rediscover all these references to biphasic sleep because it was so fundamentally normal that historic writers never thought to focus on it. Now, with our obsessive encyclopedic documentation, it's unlikely that future generations will forget our ways of life.

> Tan is now too important

How is he important? Would a person on the street know who he is?

I guess this goes with the idea that he can wish death on people and be an asshole but that’s ok, as long as it’s hidden.

Assuming he is so critical or important should the public then know better what his thoughts or attitudes are?

“Gosh, wish someone handed him a twitter account earlier so we knew before signing a contract or something…”

On the other hand one can take a more compassionate view and say maybe he had a mental breakdown or some trauma. Not knowing or caring about his importance, I’d default to that, as I would most strangers in that situation.
These were recorded in the simulator as stated in the article by Christian. However there is a recording mode on the device itself as well, although as I don't have one I don't know the specifics.
Any good references for the exercises?
Well, an IDE is not fundamentally out of scope, but for the foreseeable future the plan there is more along the lines of plugins for common IDEs (e.g. VSCode, Jetbrains) and integrations with existing code review and code hosting services (GitHub, GitLab, etc.).

We want to integrate with a few reasonable permutations of a development environment and overlay stuff like dead code deletion and refactoring (Already got a tool for that! More to come soon, but that's not the full business for us, just the first feature), static analysis (see NullAway/NilAway for examples that go beyond basic linting), tools for managing compatibility between dependencies and fixing flaky tests, and LLM-based code transformation and code review tools. At some point or another we have talked about how we'd rebuild each and every step of the development process (up to including version control), but for now there are easier and more urgent problems we think we can solve than that or building a new IDE :)

If a carrier delivers a spam text or call, if they can’t definitively prove who sent it, it should be treated as though the carrier themselves sent it (and fined accordingly). Watch how fast telcos mandate authentication and other KYC measures after that.
Could you detail a bit what exercises you did and how you changed head position? Thanks!
Taxing vacancies breaks the rent logjam caused by financing agreements that allow you to tack missing rent onto the end but require recapitalization for lower rent.

Individuals and small landlords raise or lower rents in response to market conditions as they prioritize cash flow--it's very difficult to make up for lost rent. It's the private equity financed stuff that is artifically keeping rents too high as they have enough cash to ride across an empty property almost indefinitely.

Vacancy taxes stop the idiocy and force the private equity financed stuff to be market responsive as well.
MLB has a soft salary cap (“luxury tax”). You definitely see teams like the Yankees and Red Sox make moves to reduce paying it.
I'm talking about tangible non-financial assets -- e.g. hydrogen bombs, hospital beds in VA hospitals, US and interstate highways, national parks, national laboratories, etc. IIRC, state and local governments are required to either report the value of similar state-owned assets and recognize their depreciation as an expense when it occurs, or, in some cases, to maintain them so that they do not significantly depreciate. The federal government doesn't do that. That means that whenever federal borrowing (debt) increases, people somewhat inaccurately infer that the government is operating at a loss. Private firms can increase their borrowing while they are profitable, and many have done that to pay higher dividends or buy stock in themselves in relatively recent times. But the figures in the unified budget of the US government and its various related trust funds don't tell us much about the net costs and benefits of having a government or how much it is worth.
yep, wouldn't have bought it without it. that and the lack of touch bar make the latest models awesome
This looks beautiful. I think Alphabet just won a more premium app than they might have made by choosing not to play. I hope a Quest port might happen someday.

There’s a screen record function, the same as the rest of iOS. MKBHD uses it extensively in his review video.
I’d have guessed they count “delivered bytes” not “transmitted bytes” and then you need to take into account each leg of the transfer. Which for starlink is at least two (for the simple bend pipe situation) and up to potentially something like ?20? (for a “halfway around the globe, totally starlink” connection). The latter is probably statistically negligible, but even the factor two would give ~2% utility. Which, taking into account, that at least 2/3 of the orbit time is spend out of reach of anywhere useful, this would give something like 1 in 10 possible bytes being transmitted. Which is much better than I’d have guessed if asked blindly

It is good economic policy. There isn't much of an argument that tax is helpful to the economy. The argument is that despite the damage tax does to the economy, we should tolerate it anyway for moral or logistical reasons. The list of countries that taxed their way to prosperity is ... I've never seen the list.

There is an argument to fairness. Everyone should be subject to the same tax rules. Even deserving causes like educating elite children.
Well, quantum computing has shown results. Aside from stuff like D-Wave, people have managed to put together classical quantum computers and used the qubits for actual work. I do agree that string theory has been largely untestable so far and we should look at other approaches at this point.

I'm so sorry for your loss.

In my first year of college, I lost a close friend in a similar way. Perfectly healthy 18-year-old girl. Went to sleep in her dorm one night and never woke up. It was my first real experience with death, at least at an age that I could truly understand what was happening, and I think not having a real cause made it so much more difficult to process.

They did find a cousin afterwards who had an undiagnosed heart defect, but they said that it was likely unrelated. Still, a small bit of light I suppose from an otherwise tragic event, that otherwise it might not have been found and he might not have known.
Has this evidence been examined sceptically? I've heard this theory a few times, but it always sounds like one person's obsession, and I struggle to credit it.
My mistake. It is in a privileged forum category and I had forgotten that. I had thought it was in a public area.

Blood boiling.

A complete failure of the QMS.

I know the FDA wants/needs to keep Philips around to manage the recall, and like... people with CPAPs need them, but I really wish they would just terminate all of Philips' licenses/approvals/clearances right now. I hope the DOJ has bigger penalties to lay down.

FDA's post market surveillance relies on manufacturers to be sufficiently honest. Philips sat on thousands of reports for over a decade. This is simply unacceptable. For the FDA to be able to say with a straight face that their post market surveillance has value, they need stronger assurances that manufactures will play by the rules, and I feel that means really making an example of Philips here.

I've worked in medical devices before, and I am quite aware of how easily QMS and SOP can diffuse responsibility. It's so easy as a line worker/line manager/middle manager to shrug and go "well, I did my role as prescribed by QMS and SOP - it's not my problem that we're sitting on 10k medical device reports that we should be notifying the FDA about". And that's a huge problem.

Obviously upper management has the most blame here, but no one involved is blameless. The QMS has some boilerplate about how everyone is responsible for quality. If that's true, then everyone involved is also responsible in some part.

I know terminating all of Philips' licenses for like 5 years or something will basically make a lot of people jobless. But like 500 people died because some assholes decided to go for the $$$, and everyone else involved let it happen. That's not an acceptable corporate standard.
That ignores the fact that string theory is supposed to be a physical theory of the universe. If a physics theory is untestable and can't be falsified, it's really hard to justify funding it using physics grant money. Might as well get funding from the math department.

This is definitely on my mind as I consider whether (approaching my half-century) I can switch careers at all, without going back into a full-time role.

Freelance word-of-mouth has a habit of drying up in difficult times (like the times we've been through), and at any rate it is rarely useful when you want to significantly switch direction; those mouths likely have far less interest in the new words.

There is, to some extent, a way forward, which is that you do a chunk of your primary promotion mutually. That is, find someone else you are working with a lot, or multiple someones if you are organised, whose work you respect, and agree a simple, mutual cross-promotional scheme that you can both monitor.

Or agree to swap writing biographies, marketing blurbs, all the things you find difficult about writing about yourself.
This is the truth. Like Bill O'Reilly or (younger, less wise) Howard Stern, they're all about the cheap outrage shots if it leads to status or money. Either that, or they're incels in need of friends and social skills.

A cliche, perhaps, but build times and land times have always been a top priority of developers, particularly as tooling, specially code analysis, grows more complex. Developer tooling should be as blazingly fast as we can make it! (And obviously we aren't the only ones aiming for that, but it's good to have it as an explicit top priority!)
