Congratulations, you’ve encountered someone with passion. It lives in people all over the world, but Japanese craft has a particular gift for making it visible in every detail, every material, and every decision pushed to its absolute perfection. Toyotas quality, Grand Seikos polish and accuracy and Jiros sushi just to mention a few of the exported ones.

I can 2nd this. As a parent of a level II autistic son and then 6 years later a now 1 year old girl that does not appear to have any autistic traits. We delayed having the 2nd child by years because the first was so draining. They are night and day. During parental leave I found it hard to play with my son in ways where he acknowledged that it was fun. He mostly did repetitive activities alone like flexing a folding rule or similar. My daughter is completely different. As parents our son Ahmad thought us a lot about not projecting our expectations onto the children and meeting them where they are.

Oh yes. Samsung 9100 Pro does 14800/13400 MiB/s over PCIe 5x4.

They sold it to you, with a limit.

Chuck was also a guest at The Amphour in 2015 (four years before his passing in 2019). It is a really good listen. https://theamphour.com/241-an-interview-with-chuck-peddle-ch...

Yes, we should rename the kernel to cernel or qernel to avoid confusion. Snark aside I do not think that the letter k is too overloaded. There is room for KDE and the kernel.

Like the cube user switcher in MacOS?

“Well actually” in System 1 and later Classic macOS the puzzle and the calculator are ”Desk Accessories” that is applications that can run simultaneously as other apps, even though the operating system does not support multitasking. The rounded corners are there to distinguish them from the current running application.

I recently switched from an iPhone 16 to an Air and my experience is the opposite. I type way more accurate on the Air (even when both dictionaries are reset and have no screen protector what could make the touch less sensitive). I do not know why.

The banks did not block it. The Swedish state did not want to spend 50-100 kr per citizen to distribute the secure element. They instead opted for aligning with the one set of institutions that already had somewhat good customer knowledge and could bear the cost, the banks. The incumbent telco (Telia) also tried but their system was even worse than bank id.

This was also confirmed by a Valve developer recently about a bug in HL2:

The definition of a complex system is the qualifier for the quote. Many systems that are designed, implemented and found working are not complex systems. They may be complicated systems. To paraphrase Dr. Richard I. Cook’s ”How Complex Systems Fail” where he claims that complex systems are inherently hazardous, operate near the edge of failure and cannot be understood by analyzing individual components. These systems are not just complicated (like a machine with fixed parts) but dynamic, constantly evolving, and prone to multiple, coincidental failures.

A system of services that interact, where many of them are depending on each other in informal ways may be a complex system. Especially if humans are also involved.

Such a system is not something you design. You just happen to find yourself in it. Like the road to hell, the road to a complex system is paved with good intentions.

Touché, that is what we humans are doing to some degree as well.

“A complex system that works is invariably found to have evolved from a simple system that worked. The inverse proposition also appears to be true: A complex system designed from scratch never works and cannot be made to work. You have to start over, beginning with a working simple system.” Gall’s Law

The service is freemium, so they had a limited account. Decided to pay for a premium account. And apparently can’t downgrade and get back what they once had.

It says in the read me that X11 is required for clipboard functionality.

IIRC Apple dropped sub pixel antialiasing in Mojave or Sonoma (I hate these names). It makes no sense when Macs are meant to be used with retina class displays.

SCSI had a reputation of being very stable and yet very finicky. Stable in the sense that not using the CPU for transfers yielded good performance and reliability. The finicky part was the quality of equipment (connectors, adapters, cables and terminators) something that led to users having to figure out the best order of connecting their devices in a chain that actually worked. “Hard drive into burner an always the scanner last.”

Like everything else in engineering it is a matter of trade offs. The setup you chose to run really hampers the usefulness of having a checksuming file system, since it cannot simply get the correct data from another drive. As a peer pointed out: ZFS does support adding additional drives to expand a RaidZ (with some trade offs). What you cannot do is change the raid topology at the fly.

The Project Looking Glass UI != The Project Looking Glass They are talking about the UI which could have inspired Stage Manager. Apple also had the purple window button before Project Looking Glass so there is that.

No, it was not Steve that found the Symbol but Susan Kare the Macintosh graphics artist. https://www.folklore.org/Swedish_Campground.html

IMO that is not your call to make, it is the reviews call to make. It is the reviewers resources you are spending to learn more quickly. You are consuming a “free” resource for personal gain because you feel that it is justified in your particular case. It would likely not scale and grind many projects to a halt at least temporarily if this was done at scale.

I can see what you are getting at. Reminds me a bit of their GTK theme Nimbus for the Gnome based Java Desktop System but also Bluecurve of Gnome 2 with Bitstream Vera. Perhaps it just looks dated?

That is a question for those that did not make that small (free?) script, not Rogue Amoeba that solved the problem with a paid for app.

If you read his boks or others stories about Woz you would know that he was like this long before he had fortune in business. He spent a lot of time and money on setting up a quite popular answering machine service for delivering jokes and did attribute his success as an engineer to not having that much money [1] so he needed to make due with what he had.

The Register called this in 2007 [1] when they claimed that the Psion 5MX was the last computer to be fully developed by one team (hardware, software and design).

On an adjacent theme there has been a large debate in Sweden if a car that has mandated automatic eCall over 2G or 3G is faulty and thus not roadworthy if the 2G and 3G networks are turned off. The eCall feature was introduced broadly in 2018. It still uses modem sounds over a voice phone call to relay car emergency status and position. New solutions for packet only networks (4g and 5G) have been standardised but are not retrofitted to older cars.

The point is that before the AMD Ryzen Al Max+ 395 chip there was only Apple that offered something comparable for the desktop / laptop that could do these AI relate tasks. Were else could you find a GPU with 64-128 memory?
