Dashboard was a clone ("Sherlock") of Konfabulator, a third party app. It looks like Konfabulator was acquired by Yahoo but eventually shut down. Maybe this is once again an interesting third party opportunity?

I can't even recall how to invoke Dashboard. The fact that was always hidden meant I never used it.
There are metered parking zones all over Manhattan. Many are commercial-only during the day, but revert to regular meters after a certain hour. There are copious bus lanes on many major thoroughfares, which are legal to park in outside of peak commuting hours. In some areas the street sweeper dance starts the evening before, leaving many spots unoccupied after drivers have absconded in search of parking spaces that won’t see a sweeper while the drivers are at work the next day.

I use all of these hacks and more to make it possible to zip around town in a personal car.

>new frameworks like AVAudioEngine on OS X

AVAudioEngine is not a new framework on macOS. It was first available on macOS Yosemite which was in beta in 2013 and released in 2014. Developers have had 6+ years to develop and test using these frameworks.

This literally just boils down to developers complaining that Apple isn't further letting them procrastinate.
There’s something even better now, thanks to APFS:

No, it doesn't prevent /dev/random from blocking when estimated entropy runs out.
One line of thinking around requiring usage of preferred pronouns is that normalizing the act of giving/asking for pronouns allows for more inclusive spaces. For instance, if someone is transitioning between genders it might not be obvious what their gender identity is, and assuming their gender identity can lead to further dysphoria. At the same time, if you are someone who sees that the only people who get asked for their pronouns are people who do not obviously exist at either of edge of the gender spectrum, then the act of being asked for pronouns is tantamount to someone admitting their own confusion of your identity. This issue can be resolved for all parties and gender identities when asking/giving pronoun preference is the norm. For people with more straightforwardly normative gender identities, offering preferred pronouns is an act of solidarity with people who might not have the privilege of their gender identity being so obvious.

> I really don’t care about quantum mechanics anymore, and you shouldn’t either.

> Sean Carroll describes quantum mechanics as an “incredibly successful theory” but the frequency with which we hear this refrain does not make it more true.

> It is in fact a hot mess defined by constant failure and revision in the face of new experimental data.

> The theory has never been compatible with special or general relativity; it didn’t predict electron spin, and it failed to predict a host of subtle changes in electron energy levels such as the Lamb Shift, Fine Structure, and Hyperfine Structure. Yes it can calculate the excited state energies for hydrogen, but not for helium or anything that comes after.

It has definitely never been compatible with General Relativity. I'm pretty sure it's compatible with Special Relativity, though; in fact, when put into a Special-Rel-compatible form, it predicted the positron.

I'm also pretty sure that QED can predict almost everything he said that quantum can't. So, um... I don't think this guy is telling it straight.

Reading from `/dev/random` (true randomness) will block if there is insufficient system entropy available. You can read the currently available amount via `cat /proc/sys/kernel/random/entropy_avail`.

If you have an SLA that guarantees true randomness, and a certain response time or availability, you cannot really afford to block indefinitely while Linux builds up more entropy via its natural mechanisms.

Augmenting with haveged is pretty common, all it does is add more sources of randomness. I was hoping that jitter entropy (which seems kinda like the same thing) would alleviate the need to install one more package in these cases, but it's not clear. I will have to try it out sometime.
> Side note: there's giant hole in the market offerings for hobbyist single board computers.

ST's STM32 Discovery boards [1] fit that bill reasonably well. They're inexpensive (many under $20, most under $100), supported by an open toolchain (GCC / GDB / OpenOCD), and provide a wide variety of peripherals. Most parts don't have more than 1 or 2 MB of on-chip SRAM, but a decent number of their boards have 8 or 16 MB of external SDRAM.

Au contraire, it’s the belief that our system can continue like it’s doing that is the real hyperbole. Collapse is just baseline reality of civilizations.

- HISTORY: Collapse is a property of every civilization we’ve studied. These people were as smart if not smarter than us, working with societies smaller and simpler than ours.

- ECONOMY: The way money is created and managed today is an ongoing experiment that almost ended in 2008, and we are still on uncharted ground. We can only continue paying for debt by increasing consumption in the following year, yet our debt keeps increasing, by the ever-devaluation of our currency, requiring more production and consumption. No one is planning on an end to this model of growth.

- TECH: Most of our infrastructure is built under the incentive of increased efficiency and profit, not long-term robustness since profit has to be sacrificed to plan for contingencies like price fluctuations in supply. Short term tech outcompetes the long term, easy. Strong but fragile. And then there’s the incentivized inefficiencies from economies of scale: one calorie of food now requires ten calories of energy from our system to produce.

- COMPLEXITY: “More is different.” As everything becomes interconnected, things become entrenched into dynamics that become increasingly difficult to control and even reason about. Rational decision-making must always be filtered by the interests of the current system, thus there is a loss in agency in what we can do (read: incentives), and we are stuck trying to find creative solutions that must accept the framework of what may be a harmful system, often just making that system more effectively harmful.

- ENVIRONMENT: Some call it the sixth mass extinction. Whatever it is, the biosphere is changing dramatically. Soil is in a weird zombie state kept alive by oil. The basic line is that the value of life is diminished through the lens of our economy, as dead resources. So our model will continue bringing the real world into consistency with that deadness.

- MYTHS: When we live in a civilization that sanctifies all forms of advancement and improvement and growth, there is no fertile soil for the acceptance of limitation. We only have the vocabulary to label it pessimist. Thus, optimism becomes co-opted for the aspirations of a mythical techno-utopia beyond all conceivable boundary.
It depends on how the material is designed. Some materials like commonly available particle board, can't get wet at all. They swell up and crumble. On the other hand there are grades of plywood that are rated for wet applications.

Congratulations guys, super product! Glad you brought it to life.
Does your list of "all possible measures" include "significantly increased likelihood of meeting a grisly end"?
Thank you. This is what I was asking.
Few US drivers seem to appreciate how "subsidized" parking is (and by consequence, driving). The fact that most places in the US have parking minimums means that, for example, I end up paying $100-$200 more per month for rent than I would otherwise (as I recall based on a study), because I don't use the parking my apartment provides me.
The big point is to not give up something of greater value for lesser value. Human rights have greater value than increasing profit margins.
L3 hosting and UniFi is now unfortunately just one of the many, many areas where it feels like Ubiquiti just kind of quit on it many years ago. It's really unfortunate but I've really gotten that sinking feeling about the platform for the last year or two now, with their killing of the forums and no replacement/upgrade for the bug/feature tracking part being the final straw. But overall they seem to show a lot of the classic signs of basic internal dysfunction, tons of effort expended on surface gloss and re-skinning things over and over again (yet then failing to even quickly bring feature parity up), lots of basic features and even merely keeping internal components up to date disregarded, ever increasing technical debt in the hardware line due to failure to update and replace now ancient kit (which instead they still sell new at full price). Something is going to have to give at some point. Unfortunately I don't see anything else in the same position either. It's such a depressing waste of potential.
But no one is saying that these companies are forcing people to move to the new OS. The issue is that there's not even an option to move to the new OS for some users because their software literally can't run. It's not about chasing a moving target when the 64-bit change was announced 4+ years ago. Waiting until the very last possible moment and then complaining that 1 or 2 APIs changed leaves no one to blame but the developer that ignored the warnings and waited to fix their issues.
True, but worth noting plywood is spiral shaved veneers which are unrolled glued with the curves counteracting This is quite different from sawn dimensional lumber. Plywood is entirely cut tangent to the grain / tree rings.

Plywood is much weaker essentially because trees evolved to withstand wind and the veneers are cut perpendicular to wind loads.

I found suspicious application (with name like ePlayService or eVideoService, don't remember exactly) in app list, then connected using ADB and examined the filesystem, and decompiled suspicious packages. Then I downloaded ROM from manufacturer's site to make sure that the backdoor was there too.

Also I checked signatures on applications to exclude unmodified third party apps like Youtube and check only those with unknown signatures. This is where I found that the manufacturer signed their system applications using publicly available Android test key (which means device is vulnerable because anyone can make an app signed with that test key and gain high privileges on device).

Also, some chipsets (like MediaTek) allow downloading storage contents to PC using proprietary Windows application.
There used to be a doc icon and even a physical key for it.

Ranching in the Future
True, I suppose. But I think you'd be hard pressed to find even a plurality of developers who'd embrace the whole "my team at work is my tribe" thing. Perhaps it's motivating for some, but I would guess that for the majority of developers it would be an active turn-off, or at the very least neutral and not helpful.

And, at it's face, it's simply false. Companies (and the teams within) are factually not families, or tribes, or anything of the sort. They are a group of people working together for economic gain. They share very little resemblance to families or tribes in real life, and I can't see making that comparison as anything but a plea for loyalty... loyalty that will never be returned by the company when it's not convenient.

If I were interviewing at a company and they tried to justify having a standup using this rationale, I would stop considering them, as would many (most?) developers I know.
All politics is a charade to some extent, a social game humans play to achieve a result which we can't really get to otherwise; international politics is simultaneously more obviously a charade and precisely the place where keeping up the charade is most important, because the consequences are far more present.

In national politics, there's a government and that government has a police force and a military. Regardless of which political party or coalition is in control, the government goes on, day to day, running things, which includes holding elections, the magic which gives legitimacy to the process. As long as elections are real, the people are mostly willing to go along with it, so the consequences of utterly disregarding legitimacy remain remote.

International politics has no such entity, or at least none that has sufficient recognition. Therefore, it is essential that everyone play along with the norms, because deviating from those norms is more likely to spark a war.

Ultimately, a country is what a majority recognize as such; before you go away, however, consider how long you'd live if you insisted you were human but couldn't get anyone else to agree with you.

> Reading from `/dev/random` (true randomness)

/dev/random doesn't provide "true randomness".

/dev/random and /dev/urandom provide the same kind of randomness. The difference is that, for 99.999% of developers, /dev/random blocks for no good reason.

All haveged does is pollute the kernel entropy pool to make /dev/random less unstable in production.

Why does it matter? By increasing the frontage of the waiting cyclists stopped at the light they are actually helping more total cyclists to clear the intersection in the same amount of time.

It generally is good practice for the fastest cyclists to get up to the front of a waiting pack so that they can pull ahead and not get stuck behind people once it's clear to go.

Did you get a lucky brain or something? I literally can not stay focussed for 10 hours, even with little breaks here and there. And to do that for 6 weeks? The only way I can see this being possible is if the content you're studying is really exciting and fun for you. Otherwise, you must have a monk brain to do this.

In many instances a cyclist riding in the "car lane" is not illegal. It's not in Texas, in fact, it's legally required in some instances. I'm a cyclist, and recently I had a driver road rage at me because I was using the left turn lane, which is required by law when turning left!

I don't know specifically about Amsterdam, for what it's worth.

Also, a cyclist riding in the road is not necessarily unsafe either. Many bike lanes are poorly designed and contribute to safety problems.
It doesn't matter why they decided to. They did. We all know better, we can all point fingers until we are blue in the face, but that doesn't change that people will lose access to software that they purchased.

> except in a well-contained module?

This is probably one of the best reasons. Game developers aren't entirely to blame here, middleware developers seem to be sticking to 32bit like balsamic glazing. Even if you could pry their cold dead hands off their archaic architecture, they'd probably make you pay full price for the 64bit upgrade.

As for DAWs? Think about all the the VST plugins out there. Most of which probably aren't maintained and only exist as zip files on the artist's dropbox.

Dropping 32bit is aspirationally sound. It's grossly inconsiderate of the very most obvious aspects of reality.
> In which case anyone present can (and in my view) should get the meeting back on track.

I absolutely agree that people can and should do that, but in practice, I often find that people don't. And I personally get tired of it; isn't it reasonable to take a dim view of a meeting where literally every time we have it, I (as an IC, whose job this should not be) have to prod people to stay on track?

Creative Cloud apps only need to phone home for activation monthly (at least it was that way early last year). Impacted users just need to get a new Adobe ID and purchase a prepaid 1 yr sub to their apps using a Gmail address and VPN (if Adobe is checking IP). Then just get on a VPN once a month to let it phone home and otherwise block internet access for those apps.

Also, it's possible that the activation servers don't even check IP. Companies just don't want to get fined by the govt. There's no incentive for them to go beyond the letter of law in checking. It may be as simple as saying you're somewhere else when signing up.
