BTLE Device Handoff is another name for the BTLE Audio multi-device stream control. Read a little about it at the Bluetooth LE website[0] -- you're looking at a combination of the Audio Stream Control Service and Telephony Bearer/Call Control working with the Coordinated Devices setup.

One of the goals of BTLE Audio is that you could be listening to music at an airport from your laptop and an announcement can chime in over your music to tell you that your flight has been delayed once again, then hand off the audio stream to your phone when you get a phone call from your significant other asking if you're going to make it home in time for dinner (you aren't)

Miracast is an open standard, and there's multiple open source libre DIY implementations of it -- you can even use it from Wayland now.

AS for how to handle background execution, if it really is that hard to handle scheduling background tasks, how is it that Microsoft once again figured it out over a decade ago with Win10 mobile, which had a "get in, get out, and if you take too long, we might knock a few times before giving you the boot"

Separation of duties, principle of least privilege, and zero trust?

Why would any worker have access to delete both the repo and its backups?
After years of watching brands miss the mark with internet humor, I created a tool that helps companies leverage meme culture for real marketing results.

Features:
- AI-powered meme trend analysis (coming soon)
- Instant meme-to-marketing templates

Stop guessing. Start memeing.
Great catch! I'll fix those rows later today

Any suggestions for stuff I can put in the probability rows?
You can turn Anubis into Proof of Storage by appending large amounts of random data to the session cookie and then hashing it on each request. Combined with per-session-cookie limits, you can effectively force the LLM bots to store all the data you want if they want to scrape your site.

Is this okay for coding? Does it work with macs/linux?
Bigscreen as a company isn't really looking to expand the VR market, it's just making an enthusiast-grade product aimed at people who know exactly what they want. Quest focuses on being a smartphone-like device with an integrated ecosystem, while Beyond is more of a PC peripheral for using Bigscreen the app, video content, social VR and some simulators. The audience for these things is small, but pretty dedicated, so it makes sense to offer a high-end solution targeting just them.
Can anyone recommend what the best VR headset is if all I want is the appearance of some giant monitor floating in front of me? I don't think I need any kind of specialized controllers or head tracking or anything like that.

I'd just like to be able to pretend I have my monitor with me when I'm on a plane or space constrained in some way, and I'm happy enough to use keyboard and mouse without seeing them as my input options.
Not really. Social security (and medicare) specifically makes promises of future returns to current payers, based on the assumption new entrants will provide the money to pay for those returns. To underscore the point, they are even structured separately.

Normal social services (from schools to even medicaid) merely transfer money between individuals in the present.
It's frustrating because the two common methods for reducing motion sickness shouldn't be hard to implement, even for lazy console FPS ports. Tunneling while the user turns, and teleportation controls. All VR games should have those accessibility options. A stable +90FPS framerate and the highest fidelity VR equipment also helps.

Granted, these are still not a silver bullet for motion sickness. A lot more research needs to be done in this field.

Same. The Index is way too heavy for long sessions and the screen door effect is quite noticeable. I bought it in 2020 and haven't really touched it after playing some Half Life Alyx and Beat Saber. A headset that's only 107 g would be really amazing.

They also document the error codes:

https://www.samsung.com/us/support/troubleshoot/TSG10000997/...

But as mentioned most big appliances usually have a small service manual tucked inside the chassis somewhere. Those will have these instructions and the table to decipher the error codes, along with some basic troubleshooting steps. It might also include official part numbers to replace components which might have failed. This is often true for washing machines, dryers, fridges, dishwashers, stuff like that.

On my GE units it even stores recent codes in case it experienced multiple different issues while running. You can cycle through the history in the maintenance mode.

I do agree though, in the end you still probably need the table to decipher the error codes.
> Hartzheim identifies as a libertarian but told me she considered neat lawns a sort of civic virtue, which she acknowledged could be inconsistent with her usual suspicion of onerous regulations. “I generally think government should stay out of people’s business,” she said. “But we live in a city, and there are rules for a reason; we have to live next door to folks. Letting yards go willy-nilly, having mice and voles everywhere — that isn’t something we should support.”

This is such a perfect encapsulation of actually-existing libertarianism that I would call it a mean-spirited and uncharitable parody if it wasn't quoting a real person. "The government should stay out of your business, except when I hold you at gunpoint until I like your lawn."

(And you can't even blame this part on HOAs, this was a city councilor talking about a municipal regulation for lawn standards)
I always say being a manager is one of the toughest jobs around, tougher than most IC jobs. But at the same time, bad managers have many more avenues to escape accountability than ICs do.

I greatly respect the good managers I know. But as a current example, one of their direct peers has spent several years driving off top talent, failing to deliver on goals, and is now encouraging others to quit in order to destroy their own team on the way out…and is currently on a multi month leave of absence! And their boss says “oh but you see I must follow process x” and “the problem has only recently gotten this bad.” All of which are bullshit lies to cover the fact that this toxic manager has been very effective at deflecting and avoiding.

I have to wonder about a job function that cannot police its own ranks.
You can ban or restrict private cars but still allow business related uses. This is how it's done in many places. It would actually clear the roads even more for the higher economic value activity!
Beyond the basic implementation of quoting and escaping, those are things you also have to worry about if you use someone else's csv parser.

And if you implement your own, you get to choose the answers you want.

Radio 4 on long wave, I believe - which is only guaranteed until the end of June this year because the BBC’s stock of irreplaceable high power valves is running out. As well as triggering Armageddon the LW signal also switched older electricity meters (phew, back on topic!) between standard daytime and cheap overnight power.
I found it quite disappointing to find a marketing piece from Nikki.

It is full of general statements that are only true for a subset of solutions.
Enterprise solutions in particular are vastly more complex and can't be magically made simple by a syncing database.
(no solution comes even close to "99% business code". Not unless you re-define what business code is)

It is astounding how many senior software engineers or architects don't understand that their stack contains multiple data models and even in a greenfield project you'll end up with 3 or more.
Reducing this to one is possible for simple cases - it won't scale up.
(Rama's attempt is interesting and I hope it proves me wrong)

From: "yeah, now you don't need to think about the network too much" to "humbug, who even needs SQL"

I've seen much bigger projects fail because they fell for one or both of these ideas.

While I appreciate some magic on the front-end/back-end gap, being explicit (calling endpoints, receiving server-side-events) is much easier to reason about.
If we have calls failing, we know exactly where and why.
Sprinkle enough magic over this gap and you'll end up in debugging hell.

Make this a laser focused library and I might still be interested because it might remove actual boilerplate.
Turn it into a full-stack and your addressable market will be tiny.
Cook has been exceptional for the stock. But we would likely all agree that on the product end (take Siri for example), it is absolutely clear he and the leadership do not use the product. If they did, I do not believe they would be ok with it being horrendous for over 10 years. Also Apple has had a lot of mishaps under Cook (the wireless Air charger that never got made, butterfly keyboards, Vision Pro, Siri, an OS that is riddled with bugs, iPhone battery slowdown, touchbar on a pro device). I might be missing a few, but he is very clearly not a product guy
Other people are saying that it's the norm in some other countries for couriers to require a OTP at delivery, something that is very rare in the US.

Doesn't that imply that those places have package thievery problems far worse than in the US?
> I can’t tell you the number of times people have asked me for “development” or “leveling” conversations where I get excited and start talking about learning, skills gaps, and such and it’s clear all they wanted to talk about was salary.

This seems to be a rather naïve response. In a paying job, the main impetus to increase your knowledge and performance is to gain more salary. Clearly the people that they are talking to want to know "what kind of value do I need to provide to the company in terms of knowledge or skills that will enable me to make more money". I don't see why this should be a disappointment.

yeah, they did so much for the ecosystem with awesome controllers and stations and just dropped it?
Rules that restore competition are a specific subset of regulations. Undifferentiated "more regulations" not only don't inherently restore competition, they generally do the opposite by increasing barriers to entry and compliance costs for smaller entities, so asking for regulations without specifying which ones is like saying we should solve a problem by using weapons. It's not saying something specific enough to know whether you should agree with it in a given case and in the absence of more details the heuristic for how to answer that question is no.
That's not how quotes work.

You should be able to have it both ways, except there are neighborhoods/towns that require "though shalt have 100% Kentucky Bluegrass trimmed within 1.5"-2.75" inches length and bushes shall be aligned with building edges or property boundaries."

Ideally, there should never be requirements to have a "well groomed" lawn. And incentives should be aligned to discourage overly manicured lawns (higher water costs, taxes on fertilizer, whatever else works).

You have to use another device during that drop of connectivity on cellular connection, and edit the same content. That doesn't happen often.
It used to be much easier and more precise with 3D Touch, though. But probably even fewer people knew about that.
Scientists are aware and account for that.

One way they do that is by focusing not on megafauna but on creatures that exist in immense numbers in a biosphere like insects or even smaller creatures. They also look at pollen and other biological matter that gets spread evenly.

They can also look at the effects life has on the structure and chemistry of earth. For instance, they know when oxygenation happened because there are chemicals in older rocks that can not form in the presence of oxygen, while there are chemicals in younger rocks that can only form in the presence of oxygen.

A big evidence that the end-Permian effected land as much as the ocean is the behavior of rivers. When plants are present, rivers tend to meander because plant roots hold onto the river banks. When plants are not present, the river is able to take the shortest path to the ocean. Rivers banks laid down at the end of the Permian meander, river banks laid down at the start of the Triassic do not.
> Also consider the mouse that couldn’t charge while you use it

I've come around a lot on that design. Well, it's still an awful mouse shape as far as I'm concerned. But putting the port on the bottom gets people to unplug the mouse. I like that as a goal. And it can do a temporary charge pretty fast, so the downside isn't very big.
Not the worst no, but it definitely could be more readable/discoverable.

But the functionality as an ebook manager is insanely great in my view.

I like the retro style, but new users are always completely lost with the UI, its off putting to a lot. I know, I introduced (or tried to) introduce some people to calibre in an effort to show them that Amazon what not the best and only way.

But, again, hats off to those making calibre. I will moan publicly when my PR for GUI improvement are not approved, until then I’ll shut up.
We have time, but there is a lot to do.
Well now that's moving the goalposts. Military aircraft are frequently upgraded with new models or blocks throughout the production run. So there will always be new capabilities undergoing testing. The F-35 TR-3 is behind schedule and over budget as usual, but that really has nothing to do with the NGAD / F-47 program.
There’s probably some threshold they’ve reached at which just adding more stores doesn’t generate any incremental revenue. So you’ve got to wait a bit longer, well, where else are you going to go?

Maybe I’m just a bit too cynical

Somewhere, at a tender age, I read a paean to the Chevy Straight Six engine block. One of the most heavily modified engines of all time. Later on when I read Zen and the Art of Motorcyle Maintenance it had a similar vibe and effect.

I still sometimes use it as an allegory. As it originally shipped it had very low power density. It’s an unremarkable engine. But what it has in spades is potential. You can modify it to increase cylinder diameter, you can strap a giant header on it to improve volume and compression more. You can hang blowers and custom manifolds and more carbs off it to suck out more power. IIRC at the end of its reign they had people coaxing 3, almost 4 times the first gen OEM horsepower out of these things. They had turned it into a beast for that generation of “makers”.
It’s not.

A census literally counts every individual. Census public reports are aggregated for privacy.

This is about spatial disaggregation of aggregated census data. The problem in developing countries (which is what these datasets are used for) is that they often fail to run a complete census (in some cases, for many decades) because it is expensive and/or the government is not functional. So these datasets may not be well-calibrated overall.

The US has no problem running a decennial census, aside from nonresponse by immigrants, conspiracy theory enjoyers, etc.
>Well that's all I needed to see. If an increase every two months and setting a new profit record every year isn't enough then maybe someone else should be in charge of this.

Gross profit is not relevant, $2.4B on sales of $24B is only a 10% profit margin. With 5.6 million customers, that is $440 per customer in profits.
Windows does support SSH now, so maybe you could rig RDP-over-SSH yourself with port forwarding.
Then it's not a waste of money. That is the beauty of money, everyone see fit how it is useful to them, while holding the same value (currency) for all.

What I do with my 1 EUR has value to me, and might be a waste to you. You might be spending that 1 EUR on a keychain that looks good to you. Personally, that's a waste of money, but not to you.

Are you making this point because you believe that UBI/GMI is not earned, and therefore someone else had to dictate how to be use? Like food stamps?
Well, sure, just like I don't get an EV credit for walking.

The way the TN visa works is you are supposed to go to the border with your papers, and get adjudicated there.

Unless you aren't allowed to re-apply after one denial (which I don't believe to be the case), it doesn't matter which border control point she went to for her return visit.

And unless the overton window has shifted into actual full fascism last week, being turned away at a border checkpoint is not grounds for a multi-week/month imprisonment.

But I suppose you can excuse any barbarity with 'well the victim was probably sketchy'.
Yes, IronRDP is written entirely in Rust, but we also have bindings for .NET and the web. We originally developed it for our RDP web client for Devolutions Gateway (https://github.com/Devolutions/devolutions-gateway) but now also support it as an option in Remote Desktop Manager (https://devolutions.net/remote-desktop-manager/).

Devolutions Gateway implements the RDCleanPath extension used to bridge WSS to RDP, making the connection from a web client possible. The same IronRDP core can be compiled to a native client for regular RDP connections outside the browser. There is also some work done for the server, but it's not as advanced as XRDP.
> It's not the first time a major airport is down because of power failure, and other airports are working to address this type of vulnerability.

To be fair, I'd probably be more interested to hear what major airports are doing to avoid a reoccurance of CrowdStrike-type scenarios. Which is perhaps a more likely re-occurence than loss of substation feeds.
It'll be nice to have more high end non-Meta options. Meta's headsets are a pain to use for PCVR. Third party software like Virtual Desktop is basically mandatory for Meta and PCVR.

(For the curious, this website I maintain about setting up a particular flight sim with VR documents all the meta-specific tweaks and caveats I've found: https://www.8492sqdn.net/guides/dcs/performance/)

There's also quite a lot of drama right now between Meta, Khronos and OpenXR: https://mbucchia.github.io/OpenXR-Toolkit/
Your arguments using "first" and "second" are invalid, because those words have nothing to do with numbers, like also "last".

If you argue based on English, you should point only to the ordinals "third", "fourth" and the like.

In the older European languages, the initial position in a sequence was named using words like "first", which mean "closest to the front". The next position was named with words meaning "the other", e.g. "alter" in Latin (the old European languages had 2 distinct words for "the other from two" and "another one from many", e.g. "alter/alius" in Latin).

However when the need for naming other positions in a sequence besides the first, the second, the last or the next to the last (penultimate) has appeared, then the ordinals derived from numbers have been invented, like third, fourth etc.

In later Latin, the word meaning "the other" has been replaced with a word meaning "the following". This has been inherited in the Romance languages and it has been borrowed in English as "second". Also in Old English, "other" had been used for "second", before "second" was taken from French.
They installed a root certificate on windows computers that could have been used to MITM all traffic.

I personally had issues with the project years before that when I tried to install their Linux .deb and they ran `pip install` as root in the pre install script inside the .deb. That caused so much havoc to clean up I was pissed at them for years. Now that idiocy is blocked by default in current versions of pip.

> "We were being bullied on our own property."

Solution - Refuse to purchase property subject to an HOA. I realize this might not be a tenable solution for some people, and I find that to be a very unfortunate situation. We should really educate our friends, kids, neighbors on the perils of these often-broad and legally binding agreements that seem to be sneaking into real-estate contracts/deeds at an alarming rate nationally. If you aren't comfortable with each and every provision being enforced upon you, don't purchase!

Regarding the grass lawn situation, there are alternatives like mixing in clover varieties which actually fix nitrogen (e.g. improve soil health) while requiring considerably less water than most lawn grass to survive. Here in urban Denver my wife and I have opted for a 100% "mini clover" lawn in both the front and back yards. It's already green and growing while neighboring yards are still dead winter brown grass. It also stays nice and green well into the late fall after most grass is dormant/dead.

I realize this doesn't do a lot to address the biodiversity angle the article took on, but it's a potential alternative for those seeking options. If you allow it to grow a bit you'll get flowers that are helpful for pollinators in addition to the healthier soil. I can attest that after you give the clover seed 6 weeks or so to set roots and sprout (no walking on, keep it moist) it will serve you for years. We're on year 4 at our house. No regrets.

All modern VR headsets are going to have head tracking - even for something as simple as outputting a monitor signal, you need to have it occupy a point in 3D space to avoid motion sickness and to let the user naturally look at it up close, etc.

If you're going for no expense spared, the Apple Vision Pro is probably the best device that does exactly this. The Beyond 2 from this video is also good, but it only works in conjunction with a PC, it's not a computing device. Otherwise, there's the Quest 3.
