I agree. In the Internet Explorer days, there were also browsers that were custom UI built on top of IE Trident. The Chromium-based browsers of today actually offer little innovations beyond what browsers building on top of Trident have accomplished in the IE days.

I don’t think they’re standard batteries given the specialized form factor (size/shape/weight). On the spare parts page for the Fairbuds (https://shop.fairphone.com/shop/category/spare-parts-4?categ...) there is nothing mentioned about the battery specifications, so I assume it’s proprietary. That said, the parts are cheap - less than 10 euros for replacement earbud batteries is very reasonable.

For earbud tips - you can get aftermarket replacements of many sizes and shapes for cheap. Look on Amazon or Alibaba, but some brands are more well known like Spinfit.

As for active noise cancellation - my experience has been that anything outside of Bose or Sony is only OK at best. I doubt these are any better than the average set out there. But with the right aftermarket tips you can improve the quality of isolation on cheaper earbuds significantly.

EDIT: others have pointed out that the batteries are indeed standardized.

When you send an SMS text message, there's a understanding (and therefore, an expectation) that it goes directly to the recipient's phone/smartwatch and that they can reply immediately; i.e.: it's a system for high-priority (and therefore highly-intrusive) communications - this is why people generally don't give-out their mobile-phone number to strangers.

Unless you go to the effort to tell people that you route your SMS messages to e-mail and therefore reply in-your-own-time (hours/days/weeks delay), the people trying to contact you aren't going to expect that: they're going to expect you to reply much sooner. I'd be out of a job if my boss' panicked SMS messages about how our prod website is down went to email instead of my phone.

-------------

Any kind of "universal" messaging platform that anyone can use to send anyone a message needs to allow recipients to set how maximially intrusive those messages are - but senders might also want a way to set how minimally intrusive those messages are. Those requirements cannot be easily reconciled in a way that protects privacy and prevents abuse while also allowing anonymous and unsolicited messages or senders. So far the "best" way to do that today is by segregating senders (not recipients) by system (e.g. private SMS for high-intrusive; less-private-but-guarded e-mail for low-intrusive; public social-media, etc).

Consider services that tried to work-around that, such as LinkedIn's paid messaging feature - which didn't exactly go very well.
There is probably a point of view in here where Google is being stupid, lazily pushing like WebHID without any kind of standards support - like they've done countless times before. But Mozilla is also being stupid about clutching impractically tight to their ideals in a way that harms their users.

Mozilla has done it many times in the past when they tried to only support open-source codecs or refused to implement the DRM black box. In practice, at the time that meant on Firefox you used Adobe Flash for any video playback, and Chrome had a native `<video>` implementation. Even now, due to DRM differences, Netflix maxes out at 720p in Firefox, but 1080p in Chrome, and 4K in Edge.

> while giving its own ad teams inside details & time to adapt to the new paradigm

I've worked in ad tech my entire career and many years competing against Google ad solutions. To my knowledge, Google strictly separates Chrome privacy efforts from Google Ads, and these work streams are part of the Consumer Markets Authority oversight. https://www.gov.uk/cma-cases/investigation-into-googles-priv...

I highlight these nuances for readers who are not closely tracking ads and privacy efforts. It is easy to make claims like "giving its own ads teams inside details" without proof, but in ad tech we know Chrome is working with multiple testing companies. Some of us happen to work in ads, but we also believe in greater consumer privacy and are eager for an improved ads paradigm.
Why is this idea so out there? Most streaming used to happen over UDP. It might still. Anytime you have a use-case where latency trumps reliability (and security), you should use UDP.

That brings me to another point: HTTPS isn’t preferred because it’s the defacto standard now, it’s the secure bit, the “S” in HTTPS, which makes it a better option than using plain HTTP over TCP.

By going completely bespoke means you’ll need to implement your own protocol that implements some level of security and redundancy in UDP communication.
Arm servers do precisely have exactly that set of standards ((U)EFI/ACPI). See Arm SystemReady. You'll notice in the blog linked above that it mentions Arm SystemReady-VE, which uses those standards.

I think you need to specify more information here. What are you looking to go to grad school for? If you want to do a PhD in renaissance literature, then the answers you're looking for will look very different than if you are applying to law, medical or business school.
That's much better, thanks. In case I ever need to do years < 1000 or > 10000 :-)

Still, having that all over a query looks ugly. SQL is can be unreadable enough as it is without all the joins/table renaming.

I just want something more readable like EXTRACT(year from date), like you can in Postgres et al.

Would also be nice if there was a native timestamp like there is in, pretty much every other database.

I'm sensitive to "feature creep" but this doesn't seem like too big of an ask.
My parents had a hard time explaining my dad's job to me, so they just told me he was a scientist because he had a masters in physics (he was a diplomat). Like any little kid, my parents were my heroes, so of course this led me to becoming obsessed with scientists and reading up on science stuff, eg trying to read my sister's university textbooks.

I developed a hobby of reading up on and sharing factoids I found online, and found one about the 'god particle'. At first I thought it was cool because it seemed to basically talk about a particle that causes mass (of course, this was actually wrong, but that didn't really matter to a 10 year old), but reading about how it was predicted 40-50 years ago and the largest single machine humanity had built was being used to try to find it made it my favorite factoid and I'd excitedly start talking all about it the moment anyone showed even the slightest bit of interest.

In 2012 when the detection was announced, we were on a short 2-3 day vacation in Dubai and were having breakfast in the hotel. The TV was right next to us, and seeing the news I was trying (and failing) to explain to my parents how the Higgs boson had been predicted 50 years ago and it took that long for the technology to finally catch up to be able to verify it, and how this would represent one of the last remaining pieces of the standard model (although back then I didn't quite grasp that the standard model was not a full theory of everything). I was trying to explain to them the size of the LHC, how it was the biggest single machine we've built, how when they were turning it on for the first time, there were fears about it creating micro-black holes which might swallow the Earth.

I think that while we need scientists in the public eye, we don't need them as social media entertainers, a lot of well known science communicators on social media come off as attention-seeking charismatic fakes/frauds to me (eg NDT). Stuff like the interviews and documentaries Stephen Hawking had appeared in (or to a lesser extent, the ones Michio Kaku has appeared in) did much more for me in being inspired, even without having known what research they were known for.

I think we could also do with more books like Hawking's 'A Brief History of Time' and encouraging kids to read them. Also, instead of over-simplifying everything and passing off scientists as geniuses in the traditional sense, we should be more open in showing that the people who made these discoveries or predictions were not inherently born with it, the vast majority of them were completely normal people who worked very hard to build skills in the thing they enjoyed.

Another discovery I feel was somewhat similar is that of discrete time crystals, casually predicted in 2012, turned out to actually be possible in 2018 and has a similar 'cool' factor.

The Topics API doesn't seem to have any abuse opportunity since it's entirely enforced by the browser itself. There's nothing the JavaScript API can do that could give Google an advantage here given as far as I know there's only a single function that can be called in the first place.

I think more research would need to be conducted to see whether this change is actually anti-competitive or not.

Absolutely, and those were multibillion dollar projects that could be justified to help connect 4-5 different heavily populated regions - Vienna, Innsbruck, Veneto, and Milan.

In between the Bay Area and Los Angeles Metro there are only 2 metropolitan areas (Fresno, Bakersfield), and they have a combined population less than 20% of Veneto.

I am a happy customer of Grafana Cloud, yet, I can't use their backends for logs and metrics as they are terribly expensive and slow.

Somehow, VictoriaMetrics manages to provide much better results.
Ironically deceptive of her.
True. What is missing is the next step - looking at the code and figuring out why the weird thing is going on. In closed source, what'd happen is a call to support, who may or may not properly file a bug, which may or may not get to the eyes of an engineer that knows what's going on, who may or may not be interested in actually fixing it... But more likely it'd end up in the huge pile of "you're just holding it wrong" tickets and nobody ever would pay attention to it, because it's impossible for one company to pay attention to millions of weird complaints, and nobody else can. It's a numbers game, and with closed source, the numbers are much less favorable, because it's economically impossible for it to be otherwise.
I really like the idea of this since I’ve been through a few pairs of AirPods. I’m not digging the shape as much but love the idea.

Probably not, since it has a dependency on sqlite3 which also depends on node.

I notice several people saying the energy is better spent on hospice, but these seem like different activities to me?

Not everyone who dies spends time in hospice. Wikipedia says 7-8% die from accidents and violence, and over 30% die from heart disease, which would include sudden death due to things like heart attack. I'd also expect those who die in hospice to be less likely to have unattended/low-attendance funerals. Family and friends have time to plan and gather for the death because they know it's coming. They also have time to adjust start the grieving process.

If someone I knew died suddenly and I was the only one who could make it to their funeral, I would certainly appreciate having someone else there as a witness, even if they didn't know much about the deceased.

With a "proper" covering index (an INCLUDE clause in SQL Server or Postgres for example) you add data to the index value. This means it can be retrieved just by looking into the index but

- it's not constrained (e.g. to be orderable)

- it does not affect the behaviour of the index, so you can have covering data in a UNIQUE index, or in a PK constraint (although for the latter one might argue a clustered index is superior)

- it only takes space in leaf nodes, not interior nodes, so you can have better occupancy of interior node pages, less pages to traverse during lookup, and they have better cache residency

- and finally the intent is clearer, when you put everything in the key it does not tell the reader what's what and why it there, and thus makes it harder to evaluate changes
we call this chaining.

In the API itself - you could specify the chain links by specifying the source.

To be precise - a GroupBy(aggregation primitive) can have a Join(enrichment primitive) as a source. To rephrase, you can enrich first and then aggregate and continue this chain indefinitely.

> Graph DBs are kind of scaling poorly

That makes sense. Since you scaling these on the read side it is much much harder than pre-computing on the write side. (That is what Chronon allows you to do)
That's literally the W3C standards process!!! W3C standard are supposed to start with a single vendor implementation, then a draft spec, then collaboration and multiple implementation from other vendors, and THEN a final W3C Standard Specification. The very reason why this spec is not on the standard track is because Mozilla refuses to implement it in Firefox.

Matt promised targets.

Every target was missed and financially the deal was a failure.

The board then stopped any further acquisitions.

I would guess that texts / beeper were cheap and that Matt is looking at a very very long time to profit. He was once a fan of the 'pizza/team' ratio that Bezos/Amazon pushed, so maybe that's where he is looking.
Neon Signs Are Glowing Strong in Seattle
Probably not. An 40GB Nvidia A100 is arguably reasonable for a workstation at $6000. Depending on your definition an 80GB A100 for $16000 is still reasonable. I don't see this being cheaper than an 80GB A100. Probably a good bit more expensive, seeing as it has more RAM, compares itself favorably to the H100, and has enough compelling features that it probably doesn't have to (strongly) compete on price.
I think it would be best if the government just bought majority shares and kicked him out. Sort of like with General Motors.

It only makes sense if you are playing multiple games against the same opponent. Let's say you get 2 points for a win, 0.5 points for a draw, and 0 points for a loss. If you draw both games you both get 1 point. But if you win one and lose the other, you'd each earn 2 points instead.
PS1 Programming Course with MIPS Assembly and C
The UDP side of this doesn’t sound very hard. Most challenging part is probably the outbound HTTP requests (if I understood the problem correctly?).
Yeah. This is what I imagined should be how these things work. But it is tricky. The system needs to pattern match on what types you've been using, if possible. So you need to vector search for code to do that. Then you need to vector search for the actual dependency source. It's not that simple, but would be the ultimate solution.

Small nitpick, but the "pointlessness" of it is actually the point! It's the sacrifice for no other reason that makes it a sacrifice and, thus, worthwhile.

It doesn't seem like it, though I'd recommend modding your 3DS anyways. The process is pretty short and painless, and It becomes a really cool piece of hardware that can run GBA/DS/3DS games, has a working Virtual Boy emulator, and can easily retrieve patched games (useful for undub's, fan translations, and romhacks). And, now, can connect to the Pretendo network.

I mean, you could make an otherwise polite, respectful or reasonable comment, and the fact that it made someone leave the discussion would make it the opposite of what it actually is, as well as "toxic". Even more, the level of "toxicity" of certain expressions would depend solely on the average tolerance of the userbase to them at any given time. You could rather label these expressions as "discussion enders", I guess, to signify the general reaction to them, rather than the nature of their content, which can vary from user to user and across time.

Slight aside, I have been intrigued by the prospect of running enarx keeps provided by parties I would otherwise need to have a trust relationship with, locally on my data.

WebHID is work done under Web Platform Incubator Community Group, wicg. http://wicg.io

There's tons of work done with this group, and it is very much a genuine, multi-party attempt to standardize out specs.

I have a hard time believing this is an innocent mistake you've made, portraying such a stark "Google couldn't care less" dark-world fantasy. Over something very normal very boring and very commonly done by everyone in the web community. Yes, the web is bigger than w3c today. It has been for a long long long time now. HTML5 isnt w3c either, but no one is saying the sky is falling because of that.
