Just one AZ, not the whole region:

The Finder shows these icons for network volumes.

How does the Finder determine the model of the remote host? This is metadata in the _device-info._tcp Bonjour service record that is the server advertises. My Synology helpfully shows up as an Xserve, in fact:

  $ dns-sd -L "synology" _device-info._tcp local
  Lookup synology._device-info._tcp.local
  DATE: ---Thu 07 Aug 2025---
  0:24:28.117  ...STARTING...
  0:24:28.378  synology._device-info._tcp.local. can be reached at synology.local.:0 (interface 14)
  model=Xserve

Yep, I was using MAPI as shorthand for both RPC MAPI (which was traditionally used inside corp networks, where port 35 would be open) and RPC-over-HTTP.

There's also a JSON-based web services API that is, as far as I know, unpublished (which OWA and I think the "next gen" Outlook uses).

EWS is a SOAP-based web services protocol. Totally separate from MAPI.

What you're thinking of is called RPC-over-HTTP or sometimes "Outlook Anywhere".

> facilitating the native support for the Exchange protocol

There is not one single “Exchange Protocol”. There’s MAPI, EWS, ActiveSync, and more. Anyone know what this uses?

Back when I had Comcast (and thus native IPv6 at home), this was a great way to expose a web server at home without resorting to either weird port forwarding or setting up a proxy + SNI. Both of those work, but this is super clean.

(Now I only have IPv4, so I just use Tunnel).

From the livestream (at about T-30:00):

“We consider any data received that helps inform an improved future build of starship a success. From a milestone standpoint, our main goal is to clear the pad. Every milestone beyond that is a bonus. The further we fly, the more data we can collect.”

Fair. Thought you were talking about making SVB depositors whole.

I’d call the BTFP a mechanism to stabilize the banking system in the US, given rising interest rates. I guess I don’t care as much about the semantics, though.

It’s not available to banks, only to used-to-be-banks.

I believe this already exists

Amazon Selling Partner Services | SDE II | Detroit, Phoenix, Seattle, remote (US) | Full-time

The Cross-Border Listings team (within Amazon's Selling Partner Services group) is looking for qualified devs who want to work at scale on the core of Amazon's retail flywheel. We work on systems that have a huge, direct impact on Amazon's business, serving selling partners who sell on Amazon all over the world.

Our team values work-life balance, and we prioritize work that keeps that balance in place (e.g. automation, tech debt). Our standups are almost always less than 15 minutes, and we don't do meetings on Fridays.

Tech stack is Java, JS/TypeScript, AWS.

Location is preferably within reasonable driving distance to locations above, but willing to consider candidates anywhere in the US. Also: open to candidates who might want to commute to Detroit from Windsor (this is niche, I know!).

I am the direct hiring manager of these positions. If you're interested, apply to either of these positions:

Yeah, these job descriptions are pretty generic--I didn't write them! If you have questions, please reach out to me directly: [email protected]

Even better, the "MI Drive" site (for Michigan road conditions) actually shows live webcam footage from many (all?) of the DOT plows.

This is valuable during the winter to see the road conditions outside of areas like metro Detroit or Grand Rapids (which have fixed road cameras).

EDIT: I mostly drive between Grand Rapids and Lansing, and I haven't looked in a while, but there are actually a lot of fixed cameras on major highways now, even outside metro areas:

If you like tqdm, it's worth checking out pqdm, a parallelized version. If you have embarrassingly parallel work to process in a script, it makes it dead simple to parallelize and monitor the progress of something. Highly recommend:

The app and car communicate directly over Bluetooth for a number of functions, like lock/unlock, popping the trunk, and starting the car. This outage didn’t affect that (I drove my Model 3 during this time period).

You can start the car over the internet, too, but this is not typical, and the app actually warns you when you try to to do this.

Finally, the Model 3/Y have backup keycards that Tesla encourages you to keep with you just in case your phone dies. The app tells you this when you first pair your phone.

You can do this right now with the Remote SSH extension for VS Code:

That video is a screen capture from another video (which was screen capped from a livestream), but the original has much better audio quality.

Grand Central Dispatch (the OS-level framework that handles these QoS classes) elevates the priority of a queue if there is high priority work waiting on low priority work to finish.

Makes sense, since Accelerate has been available on iOS for many years.
