This takes place in Belgium:

This reminds me of a time in high-school when I was ~12 and I learned that in the USA they were allowed to have brands in school books, like John buys 12 can of Pepsi, drinks 1 bottle, gives 3 away, how many does he have left.

(note that I was 12 when I learned this, not that this reflects the level of math I learned at the age of 12).


They're supposed to introduce a setting that allow you to disable these promotional pop-ups. But many apps don't, and Apple doesn't seem to enforce it.

It should be an iOS level flip: no promotional messages.


I just wish support would land for `backtrace` on stable.

So the market is healing?

We have some dude at work who runs their own agent that makes constant commits. We're supposed to review the agent's output.

Exactly. The bottleneck becomes human review, not code generation. Agents can generate commits faster than humans can verify whether those commits should exist.

Took me a while to learn that the link above `new` points to `/newest`.

> How long I let the car warmup before driving after every start

Tangentially related: I wish I could pull data on a used car to check whether the previous owner waited to floor the car until the car is on temperature.


Yeah agreed, the data itself I don't have an issue with at all and this kind of info is stored on the vehicle. 1) We should have easy access to it. 2) Why is it instantly uploaded to some cloud, what I haven't done is tried to review how the data is used.

To be fair, I don't require my 85" TV to roam, as it's not as portable as my iPhone.

Until it gets stuck on a far away AP because it was the first AP to come online the last time the network rebooted.

Not sure if roaming is actually the fix for this problem. For whatever reason my Ring cameras just love connecting to the worst and most far away AP in my house.


Not sure how widely available this feature is, but the unifi controller software for the popular Ubiquiti APs lets you bind individual client devices to specific APs such that they can only connect to the ones you choose.

I had to solve a similar issue for some crap IoT lights that would join the incorrect AP after a power cut every time.

This, of course, breaks clients that try to connect to the loudest RSSI when the loudest RSSI that they hear is not the one that is chosen.

Yet to encounter this side effect. So far every crappy wifi device I've tried has obliged.

Don't want to name drop, but this is unfortunately a real phenomenon.

for static clients that works well, though you can usually set a min rssi and get the same benefit without so much clicking.

That works for fixed devices like a TV, but also tends to shrink the effective coverage area of the wireless network as a whole.

That can mean that the portable wifi speaker-widget (which itself doesn't need much bandwidth) might go from working fine on the back deck or well-enough about anywhere else in the yard, to not working at all outside.


> That works for fixed devices like a TV, but also has the effect of shrinking the effective coverage area of the wireless network as a whole.

Which is normally a good thing to push the clients to roam to a better AP, OR you walked out of the building and want you phone to disconnect. But yes, does impact overall coverage area size.


That only works if there's a better AP to roam to. It's often very easy to add more APs indoors; but hanging them outside is a whole different animal.

Meanwhile: As a practical matter, shrinking coverage means "Hey, honey! I fixed the TV!" gets met with a response like "Oh, so that's why I can't listen to Audible on the veranda anymore!" :)


Experimentally probe: say you "fixed" something when you haven't touched anything and see what responses you get.

Obviously only if your honey is the type that enjoys being experimented upon (So long as it isn't mean, I like thoughtful attention like that, but some might not).


I dare to say that most people I've cohabitated with were not like you, and that this would have been a fine way to play things out if they were.

I find it funny that the one device in my household which will not roam between APs is the Nintendo Switch.

My nintendo switch doesn't roam either. Usb wired ethernet at the dock.

Glad it works for you.

I need my TV to rapidly switch APs in very heavy load wide area networks with thousands of devices while I'm cruising through the venue with my motorized couch and entertainment system.

Now I want to actually build that for GPN24 next week. Wouldn't use AndroidTV for that though.


My favorite is the WiFi television/sign on an elevator.

Good luck watching the office when your cat pushed your upstairs AP off the balcony. Your tv won't auto switch to the downstairs AP which is now closer than the one that's suddenly in the driveway.

The dependency file is more important for a library and less for an application.

For a library, the dependency file (Cargo.toml, package.json, ...) defines the lowest version and its constraints of the library's dependencies when using the library in your project.

It allows for the engine to try to resolve versions of common dependencies.

E.g., in Rust:

You have awesome-lib, and depend on dep-1. Your version constraint is 1.0.4, which allows for >=1.0.4 all the way up to <2.

I use another-lib, which also depends on dep-1, But requires 1.4.2.

The engine will then resolve it to a minimum of 1.4.2.

If another library comes in and requires 2.8.3, then that dependency will be duplicated, and hopefully the API surface in those libraries don't expose the underlying dependency directly, because then you get funny errors like "These things have the same name but are actually different".


I have it turned off for my bank. For some reason Bank of America doesn't allow me to sign in with Face ID. I always need to get a text. Only reason I keep them is because I like a brick and mortar bank nearby.
