> But visiting the past of someone from another galaxy is simply a matter of getting in a rocket and getting there.

If you can get there it was never in the past, by definition. It was necessarily in your future. The rocket is just a distraction. What you say is not fundamentally different from saying that tomorrow I can visit the past of the New Yorkers of Thursday. And then I can also visit their present and tell them what happened the day before.
This is mathematics, not physics. You can define stuff that don't "really" exist in the world, but that work for the purpose of calculating stuff.

"randomness" has as much right to exist in a mathematical sense as a "point" or a "plane".
Real world effects of parasitics are underated. Found out the hard way that there's a whole lot of pain involved with hot plugging a battery into a board when there's a modular switch mode power supply onboard. Oh, you have a low esr ceramic cap on the input? Lol, the parasitic inductances of your wire and traces have formed a tank circuit and pushed the input voltage well above the unhappy voltage of something. K, you fixed that part, nope, lol, your inrush current is actually 15A because you had 68uF on the output of the smps and somehow you burnt out the internal fet of the smps module. Goddam nearly flipped a table.

For your mouse: Ask your vendor to provide a driver for macOS. This is a usual problem with a lot of hardware. A lot of vendors don't provide a driver for macOS.
Before using a Mac I was told how glorious it was and a feat of engineering. Reality is that the Mac and associated products are not as perfect as Apple fans make it out to be. The window manager on Mac makes me want to scream. Navigating the file system in Finder is not intuitive and don't get me started on the Magic Mouse and it's charging port...
> I meant “shouldn’t have to conform” to a 2000 year old book.

Who shouldn’t? The way you framed it—in terms of “choice” and “self expression”—it could apply to everyone. Certainly, it’s not the role of teachers to tell straight kids that they don’t have to conform to Biblical or Quranic teachings if that’s what their parents want. That’s the point. Liberals believe in non-conformity, self-fulfillment, and self-expression for everyone. Many parents therefore don’t trust liberal teachers to talk to their kids about topics that implicate morality. (My Bangladeshi immigrant mom flipped out when my high school counselor suggested I major in European History given my interests. She doesn’t suffer fools!)

> No matter how you “draw the lines”, do you really think little Johny and Sue are going to decide not to have sex because their teacher told them “it was wrong”?

Many won’t, and even the ones that do will learn to keep sex a private part of their life and identity. Either way, the point is that—e.g. some white American teacher doesn’t get to decide how some Muslim kid is socialized to think about sex.

Libertarianism is premised on independent rational actors. Libertarian freedom doesn’t apply directly to children. Instead the freedom from State interference applies to the parents in deciding how to socialize their dependent, mentally undeveloped children.

It seems that many people considered the poison pill anouncment as a rejection of Musks offer. It was not. Here is a rough sequence of events:

Musks asks the board if he can buy Twitter.

The board institutes a poison pill to prevent any shenanigans while they consider the offer / to give them leverage.

The board decides to accept musk's offer. Musk did not have to do a hostile takeover by buying shares in the market, so the poison pill never triggered.

"At the meeting with employees on Monday, executives tried to assure employees that they wouldn’t be shortchanged by Mr. Musk’s acquisition. Mr. Agrawal told employees that their stock options would convert to cash when the deal with Mr. Musk closes, which he estimated would take between three and six months. Employees would receive their same benefits packages for a year after the deal was finalized and there were no immediate plans for layoffs, he added."
Cortex Labs Is Joining Databricks to Accelerate Model Serving and MLOps
It's got nothing to do with gestures, the key combo has the same switch delay as a quick gesture swipe (Which seems to have the same delay as mission control selection) when switching workspaces.

I've spent more time than I'd like to admit trying to get rid of this workspace switch delay. The tipping point for me on it was switching to a 16" Pro with a 120 Hz screen and finding out that means it now takes longer to switch.
Thanks for your honest feedback.

Our pricing still might change a bit in the future. I'm with you that with a couple hundred users it shouldn't cost more than 5-10$ to host this app.

The Thin Pro plan already includes 5GB for free, so we might increase these 5GB to a bit more.
So, User Presence and User Verification are distinct things in FIDO and thus WebAuthn.

User Presence refers to determining that a human wants the authentication, often through some simple button or contact switch. This defuses a remarkable array of potential attacks, but obviously it isn't actually authenticating very much since a two year old and your grandmother can both press a button.

User Verification refers to confirming this is the same human who owns the device. For a cheap FIDO device this might involve a PIN (not actually numeric, the difference from a password is that it's local, the PIN is not going to a remote web site, it's just proving to the device "I'm really your owner") while Yubico also makes devices that use a fingerprint, and I believe Apple sells products which use facial ID.

The UV flow is significantly extra work for the browser, especially for PIN where now the browser needs to pop up a PIN entry window securely. In contrast UP is not work for the browser, in fact, many cheaper FIDO devices UP isn't even optional, if you say "I don't want UP" the device ignores you and just demands somebody press the button anyway.

The authentication credentials you use to log in somewhere actually include signed bitflags from the FIDO device saying whether UP or UV occurred. So there is no way to fake this, if I didn't provide the PIN, my Yubico Security Key 2 will not sign the UV bitflag, and so a remote site knows it might just be a toddler pushing the button. Which is still fine as a second factor of course.
I implemented it on www.pastery.net, for example, as I love the usernameless auth flow.

Not even the creators of the browser think that it is ready to use, inplying it is unusable. So it is immediately disqualified.

Like what the sibling comment said: [0] Until it has achieved feature parity with at least Safari, then you can talk about 'value' or realistically using this browser over a Chromium one.

I can use a Chromium-derived browser today like Brave or ungoogled-chromium and have no 'Google' in it. The SerenityOS browser doesn't even qualify to be compared with the rest on usability other than being 'built from scratch'.

Gnome has this but you need to install the tweaks ui to get it. It's how I run Gnome.

With multiple monitors it makes much more sense to me than click to focus.

I tried it on windows but a lot of programs don't expect it and raise themselves when they get focus. My mac has only one monitor.
> However, stability-wise, it has been rock-solid.

Oh sorry, might not have been very clear, thats what I meant.

As I say I haven't used MacOS in a while, but in my eyes its always been the strongest choice in terms of stability, with the tradeoff being control and to an extent (depending on what your doing with it) compatibility.

Windows seems to specialise in compatibility, Linux in control (I prefer saying that than customisation, which in my view makes light of it) and MacOS in stability.

Apart from written in the article, my 2 cents:

- cannot invert scrolling just for mouse (I use normal mouse with wheel, not apple mouse) -> I have an app for that

- cannot connect Mac to a low dpi screen (like 1080p) without macOS looking like crap

On the other hand, macOS can run MS Office, or professional video and photo editing apps, which Linux cannot do. Alternatives exist, but are IMO worse.

Well... there is still no leak as there is no new shell spawn. I personally find this behavior way more natural then that of bash. If you don't want it, use variables. I can imagine coming from bash background that this irritates you.

> WinMain gets the entire command line as a single string

This has nothing to do with PowerShell which imposes its own parameter parsing standard so that no individual scripts do that. Also, when we are at it, I guess this "unsane" architecture is more flexible.
it's so funny to read day after day, month after month, people working on the same problem that other people have already solved. tech is dead.
> on Mac OS the left part of the menu bar (including the system menu) is drawn and managed by the current application

IIRC it is not drawn by the application, it's a system app that gets the focused (or rather, activated) app menu hierarchy as the app instructs through some IPC, but it's not the app process itself drawing there. The only part where an app actually can draw is on the right part, when one implements menu bar extras (which previously required hacks to inject into because the menubar extra API was severely limited, but IIUC now has a dedicated, managed API to replace the hacks)

That'll have problems with characters like spaces, you either have to use the -print0 construct or just stick with find:

find ./directory/ -type f -exec SOME_COMMAND {} +

The + means "stack up as many results as you can, up to the length limit".

Yes! It's like we've taught people to fish with the new latest in fishing equipment, but we failed to teach them some tried and true fishing principles. Haha, maybe this analogy breaks down.

I'd not heard of MTP before, so looked it up: "MTP is part of the "Windows Media" framework and thus closely related to Windows Media Player."

I wonder, can Windows natively work with APFS volumes..? I know with extra software it can, but then with extra software macOS can do all the things in the blog post too.

There is at least one thing I can do on macOS though that I can't on Ubuntu: run the latest version of Photoshop in a stable manner.

> the point was to create a new reality regardless of the truth...

Some people did that, sure. Others were genuine.

Many, many other cases of this sort exist, and there's no justification for it. Speaking of unwarranted - your assumptions about people's motives, to justify attacking and censoring them, are disturbing. Do you feel like that's a normal thing to do?
> It seems to me that most people view "time" as it "exists" in the universe as though there infinitely many infinitesimal sequences of "snapshots" of the universe in a linear line, upon which you could (if time travel was possible) jump between them.

I don't think most people view "time" as anything in particular. They just live it. Whether or not time is composed of "infinitely many infinitesimal sequences" is the kind of highly abstract question which most people will never ask.

> I was always under the impression that time as we know it is merely an idea and variable we add to equations to explain the motion we perceive.

Who can really say what time is – is it a basic category, and as such incapable of being explained in terms of anything more basic? Or is the temporal reducible to or emergent from the non-temporal? Some have opinions – most people don't – but who can really know whether anyone's opinions are right?

> We see one thing happen after another thing, and conjure up the idea of time to capture a duration between the two occurrences.

Do we "conjure up the idea of time"? Or is it an "innate idea", an "a priori concept", etc? Rather than something we "conjure", I think all thought, having any ideas at all, even being a mind, has time as a necessary precondition. To form the idea of time is simply to recognise something which has been there from the very beginning of one's existence, something which is an essential part of being what one is, being the kind of being which one is. To know that there is time is part of mind's ability to recognise what it is to be a mind.

Depends on the deal, I’ve been a part of a deal where unvested stock converted as if it had vested: depending on how much is outstanding, and the value of the ongoing relationship between the company and employees, you could expect all outstanding options (vested, unvested) to be paid.

That said, in this situation, it’s unclear how Musk will behave: on the one hand, to ensure a smooth transition, it makes sense to maximise the chance that employees stay on — even if he intends to cut them eventually — but also this is Musk and so maybe he’ll see people who won’t be loyal to him self selecting to leave as a bonus and he’ll make it as easy for them as possible (by behaving in the least good way) even if it hurts the company.
Depends on the buyer and nuanced details of how the awards actually work at Twitter. For existing shares vested those will most likely just be paid out in cash into a brokerage account for any shares still held. If the acquisition is a traditional pure cash transaction employees would cease to be shareholders.

On things not vested it’s typically up to the buyer. Obviously some incentive to not just annoy everyone to the point that they all quit, but the new buyer will generally quickly decide who they want to keep and won’t be too fussed if others just get pissed and leave. Reality is in transactions like this the employees are just another company asset for the new owner to sort out what to do with.

I think that yabai goes a bit deeper than other MacOs WMs; it gets you to disable (or partially disable) MacOs's system integrity protection, so it can use the OS window manager directly.
I wonder if the OP has switched from Windows to Linux initially. And did he write a piece complaining that everything isn't exactly how they're used to then?

A lot of "i'd switch but" articles - in all directions - basically come down to "the destination doesn't work how i'm used to". Even though they're fundamentally as crappy in the background.

“ If not, the statistic that cohabitation results in breakup more often could simply be a byproduct of how much easier it is to enter cohabitation than marriage”

What’s funny about what you said, is that it is exactly the professed reason for getting married.

I.e. marriage is harder to do, you have to get in front of the entire community and sign a consent contract. Etc. Doing hard things raises the bar for a relationship, and, controlling for everything possible, has far better outcomes for children.

Why do we need a trade off between stability and control?
