Most of my Sonos speakers and soundbars worked before the app update and right after, all that became unreliable, across devices. I’d say that leads me to believe it’s an app issue versus just Bluetooth. Agree that BT by itself has a reputa

For me, this was stunning : “ 2:51pm to 3:20pm: The change was applied to all clusters” How can such a large change not be staged in some manner or the other? Feedback loops have a way of catching up later which is why it’s important to rol

Sending HTTP 429 is also a good way to ask that the error returned is not because of a downstream generic failure, but excess traffic. Having clients suspend retries altogether allows the service to come back up. Manual retries triggered fr

As far as I understand, economics is a part of Social Science, not just resembling it. I don't think it can contend with the other two branches [1] per se - Formal and Natural, whose basis is different. [1] https://en.wikipe

We realize now or at least in recent past, the value of true nutrient-rich food or a balanced diet. Carbohydrate abundance was likely important in moving people out of hunger and poverty but excesses of the same kind of diet are a reflect

The blog is mainly about ML - I don’t think the author alluded to overfitting having originated in that space; they just said it’s used extensively.

Firefox Containers by far is the best feature I’ve seen in a browser. For that alone, it’s worth trying it out in parallel. I moved from Chrome to Firefox 4 years ago over months; give it a shot - maybe move your social media browsing there

The fact that the rest of Twitter is online, Spaces requires logging in, and that their auth is online makes me feel maybe it’s lack of prep and not a DDoS. Even if it’s a DDoS, proper preparation for an event of thing kind would require mi
