When I connect my iPhone 7 to my 2014 Prius via USB, it registers as being connected in iPod mode. This plays the first track, and then shuffles from then on. When I connect my iPhone 7 to my 2014 Prius via USB, it registers as being connected in Bluetooth mode.

This has less of the legacy cruft associated with iPod mode, and I don't have any of that weird behavior - when I connect in bluetooth mode, my iPhone 7 resumes play in the same way it would resume play if I connected a pair of headphones, swiped up from control center, and pressed play.

Life got a lot less frustrating when I realized there was a difference between the modes - now I use Bluetooth exclusively, and charge the phone with an Anker car charging adapter. Much better not having to hear the first song on my phone every time I plug in my phone while I am driving.

It just happened. There's a stickied MetaTalk post about it still I think.

Hey hey hey!
jedanbik··on Tonka beans – A delicious flavour with a toxic chemical
Tonka (Tonquin) beans traditionally were stored with [nasal] snuff tobacco as a flavor agent.

The Roli app has a good implementation of this on 3D Touch enabled iOS devices.
jedanbik··on Let me take you through my dream office
We have plenty of unisex multi-stall bathrooms here in Durham, NC -- most of them started out as a statement of solidarity against HB2.
jedanbik··on Drinking While Jurying
I hope you mean sleep deprived!
jedanbik··on Musical User Interfaces
This is why I get so excited about the (very rich) iOS music ecosystem: Audiobus, Ableton Sync, etc. You can see what audio is flowing into what, you can use touch to change things, and you can use Bluetooth and MIDI to outsource controls to different hardware as needed.
jedanbik··on The web looks like shit
I read the article on Chrome with uBlock Origin, and enjoyed commentary about ad blockers and anti-patterns between massive ads for Method dish soap the same size as the preceding paragraphs.
jedanbik··on Reddit’s April Fools’ experiment
Not a fan of the 3D chart they used - lots of data gets hidden by towering spires, and the camera tilt adds its own bit of distortion.

Did anyone create an old fashioned 2D heatmap?

jedanbik··on The Other Half
Sending healing thoughts your way, Jason!
jedanbik··on The Human Toll of Protecting the Internet from the Worst of Humanity
Can we get a collective thank you for the moderators on this website?

It's a hard job with lots of nuance-against-shouting-people, and now has probably been the hardest time to be a moderator in the history of the internet.

jedanbik··on Music's weird cassette-tape revival is paying off
Tapes can be driven/sequenced by control voltage - I think that's pretty cool.

Here's an example:

jedanbik··on Building a Data-Informed Culture
I talked to some folks at a company called Alation a few weeks ago at Tableau conference in Austin - interesting tool they've developed for working in this space.

Their product is almost like social querying, where usage and context become visible and useful metadata for a data warehouse.

jedanbik··on Ask HN: Maybe I kind of suck as a programmer – how do I supercharge my work?
Do you need a mentor? What kind of teams do you work on?
jedanbik··on Ask HN: Remote workers, what headphone/mic combo do you use for video calls?
I use the EarPods that came with my old iPhone 6. Any reason that wouldn't work for you? Planning to get AirPods for the wireless-ness once they hit the stores.
jedanbik··on RogueBots
Well, here's the game on iOS: Roguebots by Maksco Toy Ltd. https://appsto.re/us/BoPDcb.i
jedanbik··on Apple just told the world it has no idea who the Mac is for
We're developers. Let's write new software. Let's build new tools.
jedanbik··on Google to acquire Apigee
So there's that, and then the Apigee split out like Api-gee makes you think gee, that must have something to do with APIs.
jedanbik··on iPhone 7
Yes. AudioBus is a major iOS music platform.

Check out the list of compatible apps on their website, companies like Ableton, Korg, Yamaha, and countless indie devs take this seriously, and really, we all should.

jedanbik··on Canadian surgeons urge people to throw out bristle BBQ brushes
I like to ball up aluminium foil, and scrape the grill with that. Pretty hard not to see it.
jedanbik··on Academic Torrents: A distributed system for sharing enormous datasets
I believe a .org would be most appropriate here.

Thinking about http://opendap.org/node/305 for context.

jedanbik··on Apple announces iOS 10
3D Touch is to iOS as the Option key is to macOS.

Hold down the Option key and click on Airport or volume control to see what I mean in macOS. It gives you more information, and the information it provides is information you didn't necessarily need to have without holding down the Option key.

In airport, with the option key held, you see options to generate a wireless diagnostics report. Without the option key held, you can just switch networks. In the volume control, with the option key held, you can see options to change speaker outputs and mic inputs. Without the option key held, you just see the volume controls.

On iOS, with regular touch on the camera you get the camera. 3D touch - you get the ability to specify the camera you want before loading the app.

3D Touch is for iOS power users. Option key is for macOS power users.

jedanbik··on Traffic Simulation
Would taking trucks off of the road actually help this much?
jedanbik··on How a Car Engine Works
Watercooling on an enthusiast/gaming PC and a car's radiator + waterpump definitely has its similarities.
jedanbik··on Ask HN: Open problems in finance?
Changing legacy business processes to align with the post-recession regulatory landscape.
jedanbik··on OpenCorporates – Open Database Of The Corporate World
Search for any bank, and try to find something useful with all the branch results which are less than corporate.
jedanbik··on Ask HN: Which open source projects have kind, supportive, talented teams?
Scikit-learn is pretty great.

Very appreciative, smart, and plenty of room for beginners.

jedanbik··on First Timers Only
Mentorship in OSS makes everyone involved a little bit better at something, be it following instructions, learning practical tooling, writing clear instructions, justification of process and habits, etc.
