- Comment on How to use phone microphone with Bluetooth FM transmitter? 10 months ago:
A while back, I tried looking into what it would take to modify Android to disable Bluetooth microphones for wireless headsets, allowing for call audio to be streamed via regular AAC or aptX, and for the call microphone to be captured from the phones internal mic. This would prevent the bit rate for call audio in microphone being effectively halved when using the ancient HFP/HSP Bluetooth codecs, instead allowing for the same call quality as when using a wired headset. This would help when multitasking with different audio sources, such as listening to music while hanging out on discord, without the music being distorted from the lower bit rate of HFP/HSP. This would also benefit regular VoLTE, as the regular call audio quality already exceeds that of legacy Bluetooth headset profiles.
Although, I didn’t manage to tease apart the mechanics of the audio policy configuration files used by the source Android project, given the sparse documentation and vague commit history.
I’d certainly be fine with the awkwardness of holding up and speaking to my phone as if it was in speaker mode, but listening to the call over wireless headphones, in order to improve or double the audio quality. Always wondered what these audio policies fall back to when a Bluetooth device doesn’t have a headset profile, but it’s almost impossible to find high quality consumer grade Bluetooth headphones without a microphone nowadays.

For the call setting under Bluetooth audio devices, I really wish they would break out or separate the settings for using the audio device as a source or sink for call audio. Sort of like how you can disable HSP/HSF Bluetooth profiles for audio devices in Linux or Windows.

The only experience I have with working with Fortran would be setting up
gfortranwhen building SciPy from source, and perusing its codebase to see how it’s FFT functions were so optimized. Not enough to diligently mod I’m afraid. - Comment on Voyager's 15 Billion Mile Software Update 11 months ago:
I was thinking of cross posting this to a Fortran community, but it looks like we don’t yet have one.

- Comment on What search engine can find this line of code on Github? 11 months ago:
I’m not sure why, but GitHub’s search engine, Blackbird, seems to be returning some erroneous results for this query:
/tnt_select\(.*2\^32/ language:C++ OR language:C
Any chance you could narrow down your search to a list of repose that use the library that pulls in
tnt_select()function, then clone and manually grep just those, or is it’s use too common to index by?Real funny that even narrowing down GitHub search to just the same repo doesn’t help the query results:
repo:ocelot-inc/ocelotgui ldbms_tnt_select

Perhaps, is there an engineering meme community I could cross post this to?

What was that device, an early cellular modem or 802.11 wireless bridge? The thing ontop of the briefcase looks like a head visor with an antenna. Google search keywords are just noise.

- Comment on Are there linux alternatives to ChromeOS? 1 year ago:
Call it WebOS or something.
Kind of off topic, but webOS was in fact a thing, but more of mobile OS alternative to android and iOS, first developed by palm, the bought by HP, then sold to LG.
It had a small but active homebrew community, with the HP touchpad being one of the early tablets on the market with an unlocked bootloader and Linux support.
- Comment on Programming audiobook recommendations? 1 year ago:
I don’t know of many recorded audio books, but you could also use a Text to Speech engine to listen to any technical blogs or articles. I use Android apps like Pocket or T2S to queue up a backlog of TODO read items, then when I’m out for a long walk, I can just press play and let the TTS do it’s thing. Of course, I curate this list for longer pure text reads, devoid of code snippets, equations, or visual graphics that TTS would have a tough time conveying over audio.
Looks like I may need to find a successor to pocket. They do a great job scraping connect via readable mode, but I’d like to find a shelf hosted or mobile+offline app equivalent for queuing up web articles, just in case pocket gets cut from further development by Mozilla management.
