Obvious, but this is my biggest takeaway from the announcement.

I learned Director (and Authorware) a little in school. But by the time I graduated, Flash was the standout, and I specialized in it for almost a decade.

Interesting timing. They just announced the Atari 800XL Hybrid Gaming Console, coming out in April:

I've been using TB5-compatible magnetic USB adapters to switch between TB5 Macs. The keyboard, mouse, & hub all plug into my monitor.

I used the Sabrent TB4 KVM for a while. I had to give it up and use the magnetic USB hack when my new gear outpaced the KVP switch (i.e. TB5 == 5K HDR @ 120Hz).

If anyone here does try magnetic adapters, I highly recommend the 90° flat connectors, since they're far less prone to disconnect when you move the monitor.

Yeah, this one is the standard. It's pretty robust.

Plan mode is critical in the beginning, because there's a lot of long tail decisions that haven't been considered, let alone resolved.

But as skills and memory are populated over time, Plan mode isn't as necessary. It becomes simpler to let Claude just build and get something general in place that works, and then refine from there. Auto mode will ask essential questions.

I still use Plan mode for big feature changes, to confirm that I've asked for what I want in the right way. I tend to prompt casually, with only a few specific details. Plan mode helps me see the whole picture before committing. In a few cases, it also helped me decide the feature I asked for was wrong.

Or buy the ~$400 speed editor and get the license for free. That's what many people do.

No. But some of it was certainly a parody of the trash heap that was 20th century human civilization. Those groups are still around.

Technically, all of them ;-)

I think we can still buy ice, but I don't think we can buy coffee anymore. Coffee was a fun excuse to go to center camp every afternoon.

It depends what time you try to exodus. If you wait until the end, it's 50k+ people trying to leave a campground at the same time.

You can, but a big part of the marvel is in walking around (er, biking) and seeing the spectacle. If it's your first year, that's your job: be the audience.

Uhm, your link states that they were price fixing over 20 years ago, and were in court for almost a decade. There was another accusation in 2018, but it was dismissed.

That's not a long history of pricing fixing, just accusations.

Trustworthy companies take reasonable steps before.

Why are you installing random extensions?

Firefox reader mode can often strip out JS annoyances.

I think the discouragement started long before AI, probably before GUI, based on the terminal-like website you host.

It's simply a clever way to satisfy the current administration's ambitions. Nothing had to change, just the semantics.

Most streaming audio already share the same peak volume. The problem is compression. You can compress the hell out of audio, make it sound extremely loud, and it will still have the same peak volume as uncompressed audio.

> those factors affect all the audio similarly... Output volumes can be calculated using standard curves... TV broadcasters have had to figure all this out years ago.

Sorry, but all of that is obtuse. The fact that some digital audio can be perceived as much louder than others –– yet it's all limited to the same digital range –– proves they aren't similar at all.

There is no such thing as a standard curve for compression. Source levels vary almost infinitely. Accurately separating and reducing sound after the fact, without turning the whole thing to mud, is considered to be an impossible technical challenge.

Next, TV broadcasters worked on a predetermined schedule with predetermined advertising. This gave them time to inspect and approve ads in advance.

Streaming ads are generally served just in time from third-party services to the streaming host. FFMPEG gets the output from the stream host, but the host has to combine content together from multiple sources (entertainment + multiple ad servers) into that single stream. Currently, sound-level is completely at the whim of each ad server, as well as each ad producer. Meanwhile, the final output is at the whim of the streaming host: 24-hour-news streaming sites probably have different audio standards than Apple TV+.

Ultimately, AI could potentially be used to solve it, since it can generate / make-up new sounds as part of reverse-compression. But it would still have to be done in advance by the third-party ad servers.

Very curious how you avoid supporting multiple browsers. Apple, Google, and Microsoft each require users on their platforms to use their native browsers for secure connections.

And if your company has any web presence or apps, you usually can't cherry pick which browsers your customers can use. That means some portion of your company will need access to other browsers for QA purposes.

> 99% of security experts I know use ad blockers.

But if they all use Chrome, wouldn't those be really weak ad blockers?

> My org (or rather, the org they pay to run their IT) blocked browser plugins with a security justification.

Same here, but only on Chrome. Firefox works fine.

> You submit useful diffs in areas that having nothing to do with your team, but not at the cost of finishing your official tasks.

> You write up what you learned in an interesting, useful and persuasive way.

Very curious (and appreciative) that some company cultures allow this. I haven't had such experience (although I work in a parallel role). It's usually just grinding out tickets.
