ok...

wut.

this is just bespoke file management scheme. we've all been there, but there are better tools for this, as other comments have mentioned.

That's a neat idea! Any chance that a DMG can be made available outside the app store?

There's an excellent video on these presses https://youtu.be/hpgK51w6uhk?feature=shared

phrack has always had this kind of article. i'm sure if you grep for "A hacker is" or "the hacker ethos" you'll get a hit for every phrack issue going back to the 80s.

These two are the culprits every time a page has issues on Firefox for me.

what a shallow ad-hominem. during his tenure he was extremely well liked and growth was booming. why would his spousal relationships make him a bad leader? do you look to your managers for moral leadership?

Advertisers can choose where to spend the ad bucks, based on absolutely any criteria, how is this lawsuit even a thing?

I would bet that law firms love fragile rich people. "Sure, we'll write up that lawsuit for you, bill coming soon!"

Implementing a whole ass new W3 spec is not something for a single contractor working on donations to do. That's a recipe for never finishing.

Nobody decides to pursue their pro sports dream out of pragmatism or a career. They do it because its their calling and they don't care about the odds. They know that a fractional percentage will achieve the highest highs, and they go forth anyway.

I actually blacklist the entire domain from kagi search results.

They could have doubled down and invested in some newer animatronics, with voice recognition and more realistic movements, reactions, mobility, etc., to differentiate themselves from other pizza/video games chains. But instead they chose easy, with "big displays." How unimaginative.

For this reason, I prefer not to rewatch movies that really touched me when I was younger. I would rather they hold that place in my heart unchallenged. I'm sort of defending my younger, wide-eyed self.

well, yes, but windows at this point has a near-infinite network effect, with entire ecosystems and subecosystems dependent on it. gaming, for example, is still huge. so yes, it does technically suck, but just like with anything else, technical quality is not the only decision factor.

There's an entire cottage industry of debloating tools for windows 11: https://github.com/topics/windows-11-debloat

Going back a few decades, newspapers were dependent on the newsstands they were sold out of. They could put your paper higher or lower on the stand (ranking).

Going back not as far, CNN was dependent on your local cable company to deliver their signal to homes. Charter or Comcast could choose to stop carrying a channel altogether.

> It's not artificial. SMS is terrible on its own, and that's none of Apple's fault. It's not like Android users are getting together and happily having SMS/RCS group chats.

What? RCS is a real thing that works between Android users. It is Apple's choice to not support (or contribute to it or improve the standard) it because it locks people in and creates a very cozy, very real in-group sentiment.

Ok but, I'm sure the people doing that kind of work value it differently than just "how nice of a car can I afford." There is a real calling there.

i'm sure this is intended as great PR and a nice story, but it just reflects the dystopia that is the uninsured/underinsured way of life in the US.

I'll tell you what, that's an excellent landing page. that level of clarity is what many developers struggle with. i know exactly what your project does, all in 1 page. kudos to you, and keep at it!

that's kind of what we're getting soon: https://www.vw.com/en/models/id-buzz.html

it's no longer concept.

How does one do this in macos?

I just googled that, what a beauty!

> So if I develop a Catalyst app for an M1 powered Mac I can distribute it outside of the Mac App Store, and freely use Apple's SDK (as long as I pay the yearly 99 fee to enter their developer program).

As far as Apple is concerned, this is a huge oversight, and will be rectified in the coming years. The idea of computing devices as uncontrollable platforms is a mistake to them. It's only a matter of time.

It's interesting how much we associate a place with the fulfillment (career) we had there. I always smile fondly when I pass by the buildings I worked in years ago, in the valley.

It's a strange thought that the building I spent so many hours, days, years in is now just a thing seen out of the passenger window as I drive by, for maybe 2 seconds.

Such an absurd comment that was. If your customers are the ones paying for ads, and you cause your customers to leave, isn't that just deliberately tanking your business?

And "document in detail" it for who? As though there's some court or something that you can demonstrate why your business failed, and then.... what? Prove that it was departing customers? No one will give a shit. Just absurd.

Sometimes it's fun to think about the N-degrees of circles of yes-men around the ultra rich that lead them to believe the most absurd things.

> Calling this anti-consumer is rather subjective.

This is the entire fiasco distilled down to what is the root of the issue: to apple, non-apple users are not consumers. Substandard. This is the exact sentiment behind "Buy your mom an iPhone"

Messaging is by definition something that needs interop. This is why Apple (begrudgingly) supports at least SMS and MMS, because obviously you need to interop with "the others." It's also why they're being dragged kicking and screaming into RCS, which in all likelihood, they'll make equally shitty.

The fact that one company can dictate the terms of that interoperability, and make it as excruciating and inferior as possible, tells you all you need to know. But if you're the "in group" you can't even see what the issue even is.

So true. NASA's achievements are the highest of human accomplishments, imo. Sometimes I picture being on the team that built these triumphs, I think I would be overtaken with pride forever.

there is a lot of armchair quarterbacking in this thread.

i don't know why the people who were trained to raise these animals, lived with them, LOVED them for years, and came to the excruciating decision to terminate them are being treated as amateurs. from my reading of this article, the decision, although difficult, would have been made exactly the same way today. the paramount concern in zoos is always human life. they knew these animals best, and they knew what they were capable of.

i don't envy the keepers there that day, this will unfortunately be a cloud over their whole career/life.

It depends on the sound of the h. "A house" vs "an honor"

> I would rather doctors hedged their advice/proclamations a bit, then to be definitive when they shouldn't be.

Then we'd be complaining that they're telling us two wholely different opinions.

Medicine, like science, is based on available data. I have no problem with them admitting they were wrong based on new data.
