I'll take Classic Mac OS Finder, BeOS FS UI, and NeXTSTEP UI over OS X Finder any day.

Quote: For software to be truly free, “users have to have control to run the program as they wish and to study the program’s source code and change it,” Stallman said. “This is based on two essential freedoms: to make exact copies and to copy and distribute your modified versions as you wish.”

The distribution part describes the BSD Licence, not the GPL. With the GPL, you are not free to "distribute your modified version as you wish." With the GPL, if you distribute a modified version to others, you must provide the modifications. That's not freedom to choose.

Stallman's idea of freedom in terms of the GPL is that, if you don't like the many pages of terms, then you are free to choose to not use the software, which is a freedom you already have.

If you have to have as many pages of stipulations as the GPL has, I can't see it as freedom. The BSD license is, in my opinion, a free license, as you release it, and the consumer of it is truly free to do what they want with it.

Is efficiency all that metters in life?

For once in my life, I am glad we have the Electoral College.

Maybe start-ups can convince their employees to move to the Sunset with the singular goal of voting in a pro-growth person to the Board of Supervisors. You can do this one district at a time.

Yes, it is a suburb inside of a city. And the inhabitants of that area of The City like it that way. The people who live in the Sunset and Richmond form very powerful political blocks, and you're going to have to do a lot to unseat their representatives on the Board of Supervisors.

A lot of people who do not own (i.e., renters) in SF also do not want high rises. They feel like SF would have a long way to go before all of the foreign money runs out and those apartments would become affordable to them. In short, they don't think more building will benefit them in terms of housing, but will instead be bad for them in terms of quality of life, e.g., more people and traffic, etc.

I lived in SF for 17 years (moved to NYC 3 years ago), and there is one very simple reason: NIMBY. Most SFers would rather see suburban sprawl and the destruction of precious farmland than build up "their" city. They are fundamentally opposed to the "Manhattan-ization of SF".

I'd rather have floppy disks and air-gapped systems for our nuclear arsenal than have them all connected to an insecure network (which is pretty much any network these days).

On OS X, Command-left bracket has worked on Chrome, Safari, Firefox (and probably more) for years. Not sure about Windows or Linux, but keyboard shortcuts are very well established across browsers in this way (like Command-L, and all of the Emacs bindings like Control-A, Control-E, etc.).

Has this car thing in relation to Apple been confirmed? Nothing about the word Titan makes me think of cars.

Weill Cornell Medicine (Cornell University's Medical College) | New York City (NYC) | Full-time | Onsite but Remote is possible, too

We are looking for a Ruby on Rails developer to help us build our next generation Identity and Access Management stack. (You must be willing to develop on JRuby and deploy on the JVM.) You will work on applications for:

  * Credential Management
  * Duo MFA Device Mangement
  * Authentication Service UI (this is actually in PHP)
  * Account and Group Management
  * General User Lifecycle Management

Our stack includes (but is not limited to):

  * JRuby (because we need to use some Java libraries)
  * Rails
  * Ansible and Salt
  * Git and GitHub
  * Splunk (Splunk, and more Splunk)
  * RHEL
  * LDAP (with both LDAP and REST interfaces)
  * Active Directory
  * And more

You will be an integral part of the team, and will ship code on a regular basis (while most of the organization does ITIL, we don't), as we have been tasked with delivering a lot in a relatively short period of time.

And might as well mention this here, as it reads in the official job posting: "Visa sponsorship is not available for this position."

A NYSE Speed Bump You Weren't Aware Of https://www.iextrading.com/about/press/op-ed/

I asked Craigslist to do this years ago for the "for sale" sections, so that people included the number of doors on a car, the color, etc., and the kind of heat in an apartment, and so on. Such a simple thing, and would make searching so much better, and the service in general better.

I think we already have that... It's called "bank fees", i.e., depositors pay the bank to keep their money instead of the bank paying interest.

The thing that is never, ever talked about in these discussions is "geographic diversity", or "discrimination" as these folks would see it. Harvard could fill its entire freshman class each year with students from east coast private prep schools. They will never do that because it is just bad for diversity in general. A less qualified student from a public school in Iowa (regardless of race) will eventually get a spot at Harvard over yet another rich kid from a private school in the northeast. Diversity of all kinds is important, and since this article talks about "the children of the wealthy and powerful", they must also talk about the children of the middle class in other parts of the country that will indeed get selected over these elite kids just because they are a "fresh face from the Heartland".

"One of the things I find frustrating about web development is there is no interface builder"

There was, and Apple killed it. It was WebObjects Builder and it was a GUI for interacting with the components you wrote in code in XCode when doing WebObjects development. It was the web version of IB, and, in its day, it was awesome.

I actually love that he started the post talking about WebObjects. Probably the only relatively mainstream MVC framework that was designed by people who actually understood what MVC is supposed to do/be, and why.

You can see the results of this all over NYC. A building down the street from where I live has had scaffolding around it for over 2 years as they replace the bricks (building owners have to test the bricks ever 5 years in NYC if their building is over 6 stories). This building was build in the 70s. I have no idea when they are going to be done.

Another Republican-appointed federal judge. Remember at voting time, there are three branches of government, and then ask yourself this: Do I want this person to be responsible for appointing or approving judges to the federal bench?

I think you are confusing the commenter and the original poster.

I don't know, they might hold the cure to cancer... We destroy our ecosystem at our own peril.

In this time of drought, this seems like a no-brainer, but I would rather spend water on fish in an actual river (where tens of millions of other creatures live) than for cattle or almonds.

I used to think China needed us. Now I think they are using us up the way the US has used up 3rd-world countries for decades.

The images of California reservoirs remind me of images of the Aral sea in Uzbekistan which was drained during Soviet times in order to grow cotton in the middle of the Central Asian desert. Humans really are greedy and stupid.

"All of a sudden I was frustrated that she was stuck wasting her time in high school taking yet another history class, when she could be doing what she wanted to do with her life and spending all day learning skills that will help her in her chosen career."

Wasting her time taking a history class? Oh, I don't know, maybe something about being a well-rounded citizen who understands how society works from a non-programming stand-point. Also, learning is so much more than just the facts and what's going to land you a job. And formal education, more than anything, is about the informal education you get while not in the classroom -- like learning to interact with others, learning other perspectives, meeting and getting along with people who are different than you, and the list goes on, and on, and on.

They should have just gone with Windows 11.

Then you need to write to the state universities (and even private universities) in your state, as well, as they do the same thing with both state-funded and federally-funded research. It has been going on for decades.

If you want to do Mac dev, I strongly recommend joining lynda.com and watching Simon Allardice's Objective-C and Cocoa programming videos. You can watch all of them in one month, and it will be $25 well spent. Also, there is Lucas Derraugh's very good AppleProgramming channel on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/user/AppleProgramming
