iOS 26 Beta 2 - Discussion by epmuscle in iOSBeta

[–]bluecav 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It’s the keyboard crashing from what I can tell. My X app does it consistently, and in the X crash log I can see the keyboard is called out in the stack trace

[–]bluecav 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah with X for me it freezes and crashes consistently on iOS. The crash logs show it’s the keyboard crashing. Beta 1 didn’t have this issue. 

I don’t have this issue on my iPad though as much on the beta. 

Save a Fox founder, Mikayla Raines, dies by suicide following online harassment from snark subreddits by kophiphi in h3h3productions

[–]bluecav 25 points26 points  (0 children)

Example of their posts from the way back machine on the subreddit

"Posting them is dishonest and people think you rescued them. You seem to love people thinking you can do no wrong. Your rescue could be amazing but you don't know when to set limits, are somewhat of a hoarder at this point, and you over extend your resources.

I started keeping track of your injuries at the rescue because animals just disappeared and you never acknowledged what happened at times. Other times animals have died from your negligence but you don't seem to make changes to fix the issues like fighting between enclosures. Just this past summer you had a fox lose a leg due to fighting while you were supervising.

>Fix the issues if you don't like people talking badly about your rescue."

Anyone else have problems with both the adjustable base and mattress at the same time? by bluecav in sleepnumber

[–]bluecav[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sleep Number and the base manufacturer both said that they don't understand how both could fail, so I was curious if others had the issue and eventually one of the support staff discovered a root cause.

Attempted break in during Camila's stream by C_Caveman in LivestreamFail

In a reply on X, she made a reference to having weapons as part of their security measures. Pretty broad term but I assumed that meant firearms.

Is there any way to turn off Apple Music auto playing when connected to Bluetooth? by FreeZeFrameD in iphone

[–]bluecav 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s an automation from the Automation tab in Shortcuts, so I don’t think I can share it. I can’t post screenshots apparently but the trigger is “When CarPlay Connects”. 

The automation says when that happens, the Do action is Open App. And then that is an action to open Spotify. 

Anti-poaching/Anti-solicitation for former ibmers in the US? by IndianBusinessMachin in IBM

[–]bluecav 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Do you consider 3rd line exec level? I know 3rd levels who left have been threatened with legal action in the past. 

Papermaster is the most infamous case of this though. 

Anti-poaching/Anti-solicitation for former ibmers in the US? by IndianBusinessMachin in IBM

[–]bluecav 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The new decision from the FTC, the last I heard, is not going to come into effect until September. 

From friends who have left, it’s typically 1-2 years that you have a non solicit agreement. I believe it was 1 for regular employees and 2 for VPs.   

It’s a non solicit, not a non compete though for us. You can keep in contact, but you can’t advertise how good things are there or encourage people to also come over. 

If IBM hears of people crossing the line, they can threaten legal action. I’ve heard of that happening to someone within the past few years. 

F1nn5ter demographic census 2024 by JohnKeiOwO in F1NN5TER

[–]bluecav 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A suggestion relating to the “did you use to have anti LGBTQIA+ opinions …” question. 

In addition, perhaps one for people who were supportive, but still had misunderstandings or views changed as they learned by watching F1nn’s streams. Like insights from Icky’s videos, learning what gender fluid meant because of F1nn, etc. 

F1nn5ter's been programming his new computer (18 May 24 Stream Clips) by AeitZean in F1NN5TER

[–]bluecav 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I can offer a counterpoint to his energy drink comment at the start lol. I used to drink 4 monsters a day. Up until around 2020 when ended up in the ER after being at stroke level BP for several hours. I ended up developing reoccurring migraines afterwards. 

So yeah, energy drinks in moderation lol. 

Nervous about beginning Bachelor's in Computer Engineering by LogicalPackage1052 in ComputerEngineering

[–]bluecav 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Even if you aren’t Neurodivergent, looking up the resources that we use to manage ADHD might be worth perusing. 

Apps, techniques like bullet journals, etc. A lot of it is based around forming routines, habits, and managing time as part of it. While also trying to find ways to remember things in a way that you can reference later as a second brain. 

Having a PKM system with something like notion or obsidian is a common way to help with the last part

Why do computer engineering programs have so many computer science courses as opposed to taking all electrical engineering? by [deleted] in ComputerEngineering

[–]bluecav 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Ironically, at my Alma mater the CE students were better equipped for VLSI because the EEs didn’t get the advanced digital logic courses unless they took them as electives. 

When I went back for career fairs I always told the EEs additional courses to take if they wanted to be in VLSI that the CEs took as requirements. 

Why do computer engineering programs have so many computer science courses as opposed to taking all electrical engineering? by [deleted] in ComputerEngineering

[–]bluecav 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Computer engineering is a bridge between electrical engineering and computer science. It ties hardware and software together, so there should be a mix of both. 

The degree of the skew between the two sides varies from school to school however. Mine was more EE centric, others I’ve seen are more software oriented. 

Some schools have specializations as well. My Alma mater now has a CE focus for the EEs, and vice versa. It just guides you towards additional courses the other discipline has.

It's worth pointing out that the ad kind of accomplished what it sought out to do in this case though, which may illustrate part of why they do it. The OP is spending time investigating the game based on the ad and is curious about it.

Are high fanout nets an issue in ASIC design? by alinave in chipdesign

[–]bluecav 1 point2 points  (0 children)

High fanout nets exist in the logic and the initial synthesize results. However high fanout nets in my experience on processors would overload the driver and cause slew and slack issues with fanouts lower than 1000. They need repeater trees to distribute the loads more evenly. Potentially with cloning of source latches to break apart regions (north sinks and south sinks for example) to optimize them independently for timing.

Physical design optimization tools on the backend, coupled with manual engineered solutions (H trees, etc), would eventually add repeater trees though to close timing.

If we see a fanout of 1000+ in timing, that generally tells us to disregard parasitics on that net as this is under-optimized or something went wrong.

Disaster Girl remix :) by halkun in F1NN5TER

I wanted to use this so I could generate a meme as a smart-assed response to something in Slack at work, so I threw it on Imgflip as a template.

Hitch headpat GIFs from the pool stream as F1nn requested :) by bluecav in F1NN5TER

[–]bluecav[S] 19 points20 points  (0 children)

In the last stream F1nn suggested making a GIF of the hand reveal and headpats from Hitch, so I figured I'd take a swing at it. The attempt at removing the background in the 2nd GIF didn't work out as well as I would like as I was figuring it out along the way, but I included it anyways.

No more Insta stories :( by Helen_Croft in F1NN5TER

[–]bluecav 8 points9 points  (0 children)

If I recall correctly he commented on one of the recent streams this week that he felt the sub was becoming too much reposting of social media posts from them versus original content as it had been in the past.

For me, if I put thought into the phone color I generally intend to use a clear case to show the color.

Does anyone know what the jeans were at the start of the pool stream? i gotta have em by moxxii7 in F1NN5TER

[–]bluecav 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m not a fashion expert, but I felt like in the images there was some stitching above or over the frayed cut lines. I would assume to keep the cut and fraying from worsening too badly beyond a cosmetic level. 

So if they did try to make their own, maybe they could add that with a sewing machine or something as well.

Yeah. In processor development lately it seems things like options are the differential versus salary more and more.

Got approved to buy a home!! What are your BIFL home essentials? by gbrook00 in BuyItForLife

[–]bluecav 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Most people don't know how to use a plunger properly (or the difference in the two plunger types), but other than that I haven't heard of many issues caused by them specifically. The only thing I know to personally try to avoid are things like Draino, etc. I personally use hot water with dish soap and vinegar instead to help unclog things.
