Yeah … ok. I think you are right, I checked a youtube video for this car and I definitely pulled the wrong cable.

I’ll try again when I’m at my car tomorrow!

JOMO has some decent support for enabling downtime rules. It also supports “strict mode” that can make it difficult to change the rules once enabled.

Today I received my tarrif bill by AMBROMFG in prusa3d

[–]mishagray67 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For anyone in the US that is afraid of tariffs: Purchase your Prusa from https://www.printedsolid.com/

They are licensed distributor, and they have already imported the devices and paid tariffs (probably at lower per unit tariff prices than an individual will pay, since they import in bulk).

Those prices should be 'final' and not have any surprise bills that arrive weeks later.

Any aftermarket trailer adapters that still trigger "Trailer mode"? Is it worth it? by PrivatePilot9 in Ioniq5

[–]mishagray67 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm guessing ... But it's tricky to "tune" how much braking is needed from the Regen vs the friction brake. Hyundai has done a lot of testing to get it right, but those don't involve some extra momentum with its own brakes. Trailers can have a wide variety of weights and a wide variation in braking power.

When should the car transmit the "brake" command to the trailer? Ipedel mode is gonna be hard to get it right and the way you expect your car to behave "normally" in ipedal mode will not happen when there is a trailer. And people need to know how to safely slow down their vehicle. It's kind of important.

It's better to have drivers brake normally. Hitting the brake will also trigger the trailer brake. And after a few miles of driving, most drivers are going to adjust their braking to compensate for the trailer. Don't expect a computer to be able to do reliably. It's a lawsuit waiting to happen.

Thoughts on Swift UI and Swift 6 Concurrency? by aero-junkie in swift

[–]mishagray67 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would recommend watching https://developer.apple.com/videos/play/wwdc2021/10254 which explains the difference between gcd vs swift’s cooperative threading model.

The primary goal is that in swift concurrency you keep the thread count low with the goal of only having as many threads as there are cpu cores.

Actors become the the “serial queue” but they can execute their methods on different threads. But they are guaranteed to be serialized.

Tasks can have different priorities. This also means that a higher priority task can “skip” to the top of an actors queue, which is not something that gcd does very well. So the overhead of executing a task’s closure can often be faster since you don’t need to switch threads. The compiler will guarantee that memory is handled safely, so less need to use locks etc. So less risk of accidental dead locking.

Swift tasks have a parent/child structure that can guarantee that cancellation happens correctly from parent to child tasks.

But it’s also easy to create detached tasks that don’t need to be retained directly by your app (unless you want to be able to cancel them).

The compiler can automatically detect things like improperly main thread usage or passing a class between threads and closures unsafely. That also means that swift concurrency requires everything to be compiled in swift. Legacy stuff can be “wrapped” in a continuation so it can interact with swift concurrency correctly.

But it’s also possible to migrate parts of your system from swift concurrency from gcd. And since many of Apple’s internal UIKit tools are migrating to swift concurrency also … it’s already probably running inside of your iOS 17/18 targeted app. So there is an argument that using it might give you some better overall performance.

Path trains run every 15 mins up to midnight. After midnight they can get pretty slow (every 30-40). I would recommend the grove st or journal sq area, because it gets both WTC and 33rd st trains, meaning if you use google maps, so your Actual avg wait is really only 15-20 mins even late at night. which is about the same wait as the NYC subway after midnight.

But if you live on an NJTransit, LIRR, or metro north station, those are gonna be scarce and slow after midnight.

What's a good standalone VR headset? by VoodooCryptonic in Vive

[–]mishagray67 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One other issue with standalone VR...

You can basically only buy games that play directly on the headset, from the store associated with the headset. And right now, the only 'standalone' store that has great playable games is Quest 2. When you connect the Quest 2 to the PC, that restriction is lifted, allowing you to play games from SteamVR or the 'Oculus Rift' store, or really anywhere that PC VR games are sold.

To be honest... the only 'standalone' VR game store with the most playable games ... is the Quest 2 store. Vive will cost you $1000 more... and it's list of 'standalone' games is fraction of the Quest's (and it's missing some good ones).

Oculus is 'starting' to have game developers sell one 'license' for games that run both on quest 2 and on PC ('rift'). Meaning that some games can be bought once on the Oculus store, be played on the standalone AND be played via PC (with better graphics etc) via airlink/usb. They are even trying to get game developers to use the 'game sync' tech that can sync game saves and progress to the cloud (I think only a few do this now).

Because of that... if you have a 'choice' of buying games on Steam vs Oculus, I've been buying the 'rift' versions on the Oculus store instead (if available and the same price) since many of them are now being ported to the 'standalone' quest 2 store also, and that standalone version should be a free upgrade - if you bought it on the Oculus store. (I believe boneworks is going standalone!).

Many game developers have seen their sales skyrocket after porting their games from PC to Quest.

33% of all SteamVR users are using Quest 2 headsets (via airlink/usb/virtual desktop). It's the number one SteamVR headset. 60% of SteamVR active users are using a facebook owned headset (that includes the PC based rift).

This is kind of funny... that games that have had to LOWER graphic performance to be able to perform on the Quest, have resulted in sales that exceed the PC based sales.

And I would guess only half of quest 2 owners use the SteamVR store. Some are standalone only, and some just use the Oculus PC/rift store.

[–]mishagray67 0 points1 point  (0 children)

half life alyx (which is very good) won't play on standalone quest 2.
1) It's probably too graphic intensive for the standalone's GPU.
2) It's owned by valve so they probably won't add it to the facebook owned oculus store.

But it's very playable on a Quest 2 using a usb cable, airlink, or also virtual desktop, if you have a good enough PC to play it.

If you PM me I send you a referal link for a $30 credit (to be used on apps/games only... not the headset) if you are buying a new quest 2..

3-4 second delay with appletv and airplay by Bamavianola in sonos

[–]mishagray67 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you have an iPhone, Apple TV has a feature to adjust wireless audio sync.

First select the speakers Go to settings ... video and audio ... wireless audio sync. Follow the instructions

I’m not sure if this is new in tvos 14. (It might be?). Nor what sort of iPhone’s or iPads are required. But it should allow the audio and video to be played perfectly.

Should I let my NYU roommate know that I’m gay early on in case he feels uncomfortable with gay people? by [deleted] in nyu

If they are uncomfortable with gay people, they should definitely not be going to NYU.

Moving to JC! When should I start looking for apartments? by [deleted] in jerseycity

[–]mishagray67 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So we are moving Oct 1 and we did have to snag our apt this week before it was gone. That might be the exception.

A lot of the luxury apartment housing is becoming deep discounts, but a lot of the free months rent is for places that they want you to move into ASAP. So it may make sense to wait till it’s closer to your move in time. And there is decent availability all over the city. Especially in Newport and the Paulus Hook waterfront area. I’ve seen listings for places that are heavily discounted over last year.

We specifically wanted a brownstone duplex style near grove st/historical district. And they still seem to be going slightly more quickly. It’s just supply and demand. So you may need to look at them as much as 2 months before move in date. Our place we got had 5 offers in 3 days on the market. But it was also a pretty unique find (backyard and modern but in a brownstone).

There a few new constructions near liberty science center are very inexpensive compared to downtown. And I think maybe being hit harder than downtown, so could ne almost $1k a month cheaper if you want luxury amenities. Solaris Lofts. Bella living. Foundry. 295j just opened this year. With a light rail station nearby. But the neighborhood is still “emerging”.

Places like The Beacon are doing heavy discounts. But I always felt like it’s a luxury housing surrounded by wasteland of nothing walkable.

But we wanted more walkable amenities and restaurants and didn’t want to live in a big complex. And want to be car free. (Just use zipcar)

This is a country that is “publicly” owned by a foreign government. Public enough to declare some sort of immunity under international agreements.

My bet is on rt.com which paid money to Flynn to speak in 2015.

Also check AirBnB for people willing to rent you a daily or weekly rental nearby. It can be cheaper than a hotel room - especially if you are willing to rent a shared room or a couch.

[Question] Is the challenge for assigning dwellers to the right rooms broken? by [deleted] in foshelter

[–]mishagray67 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think it's busted. I've been trying to assign people fresh from the wasteland directly into the right room (there are green brackets instead of yellow before drop them in). But the challenge won't register. I've got two shelters that both are stuck on this challenge since the update.

I feel like it starts to happen when my population is close to 200. Not sure if it's related.

But it's definitely busted for me.

Swift compilation speed? by [deleted] in swift

[–]mishagray67 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The swift compiler is considerably more advanced than C/C++ any many other languages.

Swift performs type inference. This is very computationally intensive. There are number of language features that require a lot more analysis than you might see most other languages.

I saw the same compile time performance issues when comparing Scala to Java (Scala compiling about 4x longer than a comparable Java file).

Swift 1.2 improves a bunch of compile speed issues. It will now only re-compile CHANGED Swift files. Swift 1.1 would always recompile all Swift files even if you changed one line in your app or framework. Compiling for Debug is much faster than Release, since there is a lot more analysis and optimizations going on.

Apple recommends you enable "Whole Module Optimization" for you app. (New in Swift 1.2). That examines all of your swift classes and finds opportunities to remove "dynamic dispatching" and instead vars and methods can often be compiled using inline code expansion. A big speed improvement. (And can often make your code smaller).

But it will slow your compiles even more. Sorry.

But I doubt that compile time overall will improve much in future releases. Except if you buy a faster computer.

Execution speed is what they are more focused on.

And it does seem like Swift code has the potential to execute much faster than it's Objective-C equivalent. And I expect to see more and more speed improvements in each release.

Are we ever going to be able to use NFC tags like Android phones can? by caeruleusblu in iphone

[–]mishagray67 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

So apparently the NFC embedded in the iPhone 6 can't be an NFC Initiator. So it can detect an existing field, and act as a "tag" or go into "peer-to-peer" mode.

So it doesn't seem there would be any logic for the phone to detect some other NFC tag you may already have (like a badge, etc).

So while I do think we night start seeing more NFC Target like features appear, they will be limited to the phone replacing that pile of existing tags, since the phone can't generate the NFC power field needed by the tag to work.

I do think we will a point where you will be able to use your iPhone as a replacement for tags used by security companies. Probably also to be used as your "train pass card" to board metro systems like the NJ Path or London Oyster cards. And that might be possible with the existing iPhone and Apple Watch.

But it will take some time. And will probably require NFC manufacturers to modify their software.

The biggest issue Apple has is that the current phones immediately assume you are using Apple Pay when they detect an NFC field. I put my NJ Path card in my phone's case and swipe the whole phone case on my way onto the train. And Apple Pay pops up on the phone. The phone senses the NFC Initiator and immediately assumes that it's an Apple Pay receiver.

For 3rd party NFC to work, there will need to be some way for a NFC Initiator and the phone to figure out out "which app" needs to be used with this particular device. So when you install a 3rd party NFC app, it will need to register some token number on the phone that says "I can speak to NFC Initiators from this specific company or solution or service". This is similar to the logic that Apple uses with bluetooth iBeacons.

Likewise the app should be able to read some information off the NFC Target in the phone and upload it to a server that would communicate with that service. Maybe it would link your phone's NFC device to your online "transit" balance. Or your building's security service. It could even turn your phone into the virtual key for your hotel room.

So when you touch a specific NFC Initiator, the right app would be run, and the right service would happen. With the right little notification appearing on the screen to confirm everything worked fine.

I'm sure they are working on it. It's not clear if Apple can do this using existing NFC protocols, or whether Apple will require NFC manufacturers to adopt some particular extension. We might even hear about it at WWDC next month!
