$100/m for SaaS is very steep. For an entire productivity suite including mail, meetings and terabytes of backed up redundant storage with nearly no bandwidth limitations it's like $35/m for even the most expensive option.

I always called it a “bit-mass”. Like a thermal mass used in freezers in places where the power is not very stable. I knew I didn’t invent the concept, as there’s so many systems that cannot recover if the disk is totally full. (a write may

Its not a stupid question. Normally when I have run latency calculations in the past I run them from the perspective of the caller, not the server. In most cases this is over the network, a named pipe or sock file. I guess it should be po

I found that to be true years ago when I spooled the source of the Twitch leaks. To me it said, clearly: nobody cares about your code quality other than your ability to ship interesting features. It was incredibly eye-opening to me, I went

It's actually pretty common for old sysadmin code too.. You could always tell when a sysadmin started hacking up some software by the if-else nesting chains.

The Litz wire point is pretty spot on, traditional headphone manufacturers understood that cable ergonomics mattered. Somewhere in the transition to USB-C, that institutional knowledge just evaporated. Your last paragraph is depressingly

I do something largely similar. It alleviates the anxiety of knowing what cable does what. I use Apples Thunderbolt 4 or USB-C cables exclusively: if its white its for charging and low data, if its black its for high data. I’ve been doing t

by dijit 7mo ago
it’s interesting because I think youve internalised the constraint and built mechanisms around it rather than engaging directly with it, subconsciously.

Apple's woven USB-C cable gets dragged around with iPhones, iPads and laptops daily and manages durability at half the thickness. Durability doesn't require rigidity... in fact for a headphone cable, rigidity is the opposite of wh

by dijit 7mo ago
Nobody said the headphones needed USB 3. The point is that the cable is physically thick and rigid (like something you'd expect to carry serious data) but doesn't. Meanwhile Apple ships a thinner, more flexible cable that supports

My postings on LinkedIn have definitely had direct consequences in my professional life. I consider them all good because ultimately if you get upset by the way I behave then that's probably going to be true if we work together also.

Nearly all the top level comments are about the value of Linkedin at all rather than the technical reasons that 2.4G of RAM for a website is atrocious. Can we talk about how it's possible that any application short of video editing c

I think that's being a bit uncharitable to B&W specifically; they're one of the few headphone companies where the engineering does back up the price. The cable is the odd one out.
558.
by dijit 7mo ago
That's a more coherent version of your argument, but it's still speculative. You're attributing a deliberate strategy to what is more easily explained by indifference. B&W make about four products with USB-C cables. This

It's interesting that you'd think that. Connection table of a single IP is as high (by default ) as 16,383[0]. I've hit this limit personally, and due to limitations in stateful firewalling we had to move to stateless filt

You’ve gone from “companies add weight to feel premium” to “they went with the cheaper option because they could get away with it.” Those are opposite explanations. But either way, the cable doesn’t do what its physical presence suggests, n

Well, if you've set it up then you're aware that you need conntrack; Conntrack is not always your friend, and even when it is: it's adding a lot of overhead. https://www.tigera.io/blog/when-linux-conntr

I don't know your background, but I find that the people who feel that there's nothing wrong with IPv4 have never done any work with UPNP or NAT. For them it's always "just worked" and they don't recognise wh

Which assumptions? The weight reduction on the S2 is documented and the cable’s 65W rating is what the tester confirmed. If the argument is that B&W deliberately chose a thick cable to seem premium, it doesn’t square with them actively
564.
by dijit 7mo ago
I don’t think that’s what’s happening here. B&W actually reduced the weight on the Px8 S2 compared to the original, and the headphones themselves are genuinely lightweight for what they are. The cable isn’t thick to “feel premium” (it f

Can you help me understand why that would be a reason to compromise the comfort of the cable that is supplied for a device which charges at 5w? Or, why Apple manages the same in half the footprint? Or, why someone would expect that a cable

by dijit 7mo ago
The point isn’t really about audio bandwidth; it’s about the cable being strangely overbuilt for what it actually does. It’s rigid and thick, like a Thunderbolt 3 cable, yet only supports USB 2.0 speeds and fast charging for a device that d

I had a programmer pushing multi-gig packages to a Meta Quest 3; and it was taking around a minute. He didn’t even think that it could be faster because he assumed the Quest or software was slow and didn’t check. I implored him to try a dif

I actually purchased one of these as this article has surfaced before. It’s well worth the hype, I used it to audit all my cables (both for home and work) and it’s amazing how many thick and unwieldy cables are actually terrible for data. F

A lot of Apples offerings feel a bit like that actually. To be expected when lord of the supply chain Tim Cook is running the show.
