I always see stories complaining about major macOS versions, but I've yet to see one about Windows yearly feature updates (except the data loss one years ago).

It seems that even though the initial releases of Windows 10 and 11 get criticized, Microsoft is better able to balance new features and bug fixes than Apple for smaller updates. They're also far more transparent about known issues.[0]

edit: Windows is no nirvana, but it's not acceptable for Apple to reserve security updates to the latest major version, and to only fix a previous release's bugs in the next release. It does feel like a permanent beta. Maybe creating a separate, and well-staffed, QA and bug-fix team would sidestep Mythical Man Month issues, and allow them to maintain the current pace of new features? Think about it, Craig! I bet a lot of Mac users avoid Apple's apps because major third-party apps are more stable.

Josephus has a single paragraph about Jesus. It had been debated whether this is a later Christian interpolation into the manuscripts. The oldest manuscripts of Josephus' works that survived are from the 9th or 10th century. It might be possible that all our text witnesses go back to a single intermediate "Christian" Josephus. What speaks against such a conclusion is a) that (if I remember it correctly, I didn't cross-check) the passage uses the non-standard spelling "Chrestos" instead of "Christos", a so called iotacism, caused by a shift in the pronounciation of Ancient Greek where the sound of iota and eta morphed into each other, and b) that the paragraph appears in the context of Roman religious scandals, a quite unfavourable location. The counter-argument is that a clever forger has deliberately made a spelling mistake and chosen an unfavourable context to make his interpolation seem all the more credible.

Be that as it may, another aspect from Josephus is much more interesting, because it provides us with some context we would have otherwise missed: He tells us about other pretenders of the Messiah from that time, inluding the Roman suppression of this movements, and about John the Baptist in some detail. These passages are usually considered original.
Ok, I see. Yes I do agree that having some visual indication of independence of month from year would be better than none.

Although in this case since the only thing you can do is try to touch and move something, it only takes one "not sure what this does-touch" action to discover that they are independent; and then you know how to operate it. Not ideal, but low on the pain scale.
> the IRS and the Google datacenter are black boxes that are enormously powerful, automated, and dangerous.

The IRS is transparent and easy to deal with. They are extremely powerful, but that's different.

I've never heard of anyone getting totally boned by the IRS who didn't deserve it.
TBF, each update was bringing long expected features and bug fixes, and more than anything dramatic performance improvements.

I started using macs around the 10.3 area, and boy was it slow and clunky. Was still glad it existed in the first place, but it really came a long way forward to the point it’s now faster than windows on ARM.
It won't be too long before it will be commonly understood that eating anything that kills bacteria is bad for people. Our guts contain a diverse and fragile ecosystem of bacteria, fungus, and viruses which can be disrupted by eating things that are poisonous to them. Why does this matter?

Because those things control our immune system.

"Understanding the interaction of gut microbes with the host immune system is a timely and important health topic as the rate of many diseases such as numerous immune disorders are rising at an alarmingly high speed and may result from dysbiosis of commensals."
You could both be right -- could be that a hub/spoke model would fare better in a software failure, because everyone would return to the hub and things would be straightened out the old-fashioned way.

I wanted a 90's era Powerbook so bad. The 2015 is a great machine in 2022. Over the years I heard the elders say it: buy used on the cycle if you can't afford the newer gen. It's really true. And I rarely hear someone who buys the expensive loaded kit complain, even 10 years later. This is how they get away with it. I think I must have learned Linux attempting to rescue my Windows systems, haha. Now I want to rant about Darwin...

"Would I be better off using ZFS native encryption and replicating the encrypted stream without giving a key to the rsync.net side?"

I think you mean you are using borgs "repo key" method where the key to the repo is stored, remotely, inside the repo, correct ?

Just to clarify for others:

That repo-stored key has a passphrase so this method still keeps all of your files encrypted in a way that nobody at rsync.net can access.

FWIW, I use this method personally - I like the idea of storing the key with the repo and unlocking it with a passphrase.
Good luck with that Dec 24-26 (the time frame we're discussing). You might get an answering service that can get a message through to your doctor but the office is likely to be closed and empty. Then you still have to find an open pharmacy with your medicine in stock.

> Toyota is taking on a lot of risk with their bet on Hydrogen

They took a lot of risk on it, but it was hedged with hybrids
, including PHEVs (with which they have done quite well), and while they are a little late to the party with a pure BEV, they are rolling those out to.

There isn’t any real sense where I see them gambling on hydrogen now except as a side bet.
This is a great idea. I've often written small chunks of code in my favorite other language (scheme). I find this very satisfying.

Of course, I only do this after finishing the original task.
Sometimes, it's possible to work up prototypes in your favorite other language before starting the main task. This often leads to better code (i.e. less code).

Anki's editing tools are a really generic, and thus tricky to use, tool, agreed!

Like many other anki users, I've ended up writing code that generates my decks.

If you can think of a better UX for editing cards specific to what you're studying, implementing a tool that creates and edits cards outside of anki, and then using anki for the study part, will probably end up being less work in total.

If it's _only_ the editing part, that's solvable without having to rewrite the whole SRS system too.
Do you genuinely not realize how absurd and downright offensive the strawmen you're constructing here are?

The cave we're talking about here are one of approximately 100,000 Aboriginal art sites scattered around Australia, and best we can tell was abandoned by all, including the Aboriginals who once lived there, for around 19,000 years until rediscovered in 1956. Yes, it would be nice to preserve it and the teenage edgelords who vandalized it should be punished, but their thoughtless graffiti isn't exactly genocide.
A decade ago it was a good watch because every single time they had something brand new.

Of course it’s difficult to follow that trend but for a long time now it’s just been iterative updates.

Maybe it’s just because I’m getting older and my views on consumerism have strengthened, but I used to get excited to preorder their new products, now I couldn’t care less.
Is there any tech manual out there? Would love to see how it works.
I know nothing of your own situation, but having personally deployed fully working and operational WiFi for a 10000 plus seat stadium, various other campuses, but also seeing cell phones work in your pocket moving in a car or in a big city shopping centre is amazing. Even the Starlink stuff that is already deployed.

Anyway let's wait and see - I'm pretty sure T-Mobile wouldn't have signed on for something that is just a pipedream
I don't think the GP is saying that H+ and H3O+ are literally synonymous, but rather that "H+" in the context of an aqueous solution is actually shorthand for a hydronium ion and not a solvated proton (with an H2O implied on the other side of the equation for balance). My recollection from high school and undergrad chemistry is that an unassociated proton is very highly energetically unfavorable in solution relative to a hydronium ion, so any "H+" in solution would exist almost exclusively as the latter. Is that accurate, or is it just a simplification they make for the sake of not overcomplicating things in intro chem classes?

> What they don't teach you is that the government aggression towards natives didn't actually "stop" until Kennedy (and even then I'm still in doubt)

It is still very much in progress. Native American activists are not exaggerating when they describe reservations as third-world countries located in America. The sovereign status of first nations is in many ways used against them and prevents real help from arriving (e.g. the horrendous alcoholism and abuse that exists in some areas).

It was a big deal that US President Joe Biden named a person with indigenous background (Deb Haaland) to be Secretary of the Interior, as the Bureau of Indian Affairs exists under that function.

I always assumed the main thing with satellite messengers was that they transmit with much higher power. Not that such a system is easy to design, but the “voodoo” mentioned previously was more about achieving compatibility with an existing RF system at much longer ranges than the system was designed for.

Work sucks. Unless you're a shot caller you're destined to be ground down to the bone via attrition. Work politics, non-sense meetings, code you have no passion for. Developers are still cost centers to be minimized. Professional code is rarely important, meaningful, or enlightening. Neither are the people you work with. Promotions rarely pay commensurate to the responsibility.

The trick is to stop caring so damn much. Your job doesn't need you no matter how good you are. There's 100,000 developers in another country ready to be contracted out to take your place once it becomes fiscally responsible for the company to do so. Keep this in mind at all times while at work. You are replaceable no matter what superlatives they assign to you. In fact, superlatives, 360 reviews, etc are all just carrots dangled in front of you to get you to take more on-call shifts, push yourself harder, skip holidays and meals, etc. They may not overtly indicate this but regardless of how "good" a company is these are fundamental. Paretos principle. 20% of the developers (the morons) do 80% of the work. Don't strive to be the 20%.

The solution? IMO, find some hobbies. Use 'em as excuses to never do extra. The ole "sorry I'm busy with <important thing>" trick. Dedicate the least amount of brain power to work that you can get away with. I often check out mentally for several hours at work. It's probably some kind of survival mechanism but I don't really hate showing up, coasting, and collecting a paycheck. My work still gets done and occasionally I'll even "take one for the team" to get a couple extra positive reviews. Gives me more energy to spend on things I like. It's honestly not my job. I do this at every job. In general, I am far happier not killing myself so the CEO can buy another ferrari. Let the bright eyed new grads learn the hard way.

> A factory is always bottlenecked by something, sales if nothing else

I don't feel like that's a very good conclusion.

If a good chunk of your processes have roughly the same capacity, and they're all running at that capacity, you don't have anything I would call a bottleneck.
Economic framework is probably overstating it. Reinersten quantifies the value of delay which he does using economics. This is the first time I have seen delay quantified in the context of agile product development (maybe I need to read more!). Extended to the roadmap the same idea can be used to sequence/prioritize features?

Most other frameworks are qualitative and seems like they were coined by someone who just graduated from b-school - high on feel good power words but low on objectivity ;)

Reinersten has some videos on youtube which are good intro into his thinking -

1- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=du2WV1IbULU - This one is actually part of a playlist

2- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L6v6W7jkwok - This is longer and covers a bunch of his ideas.
There are far less contemporaneous sources for Alexander the Great than there are for Jesus of Nazareth. So perhaps Alexander didn’t really conquer all of that land, and he’s an amalgamation of Macedonian and Greek rulers who invented him to glorify and justify their gradual conquest of Egypt, Asia, and Persia. And everyone in these countries like Seleucids and Antagonids got together to agree on a founding myth.

Or, you know, the theory that doesn’t rely on a historical conspiracy.
Cavitation is also very important in boat prop design especially when you're looking at torpedoes and stealthy submarines. I didn't know about cavitation in large engines!

As a matter of course I avoid United, and American doesn't have much presence out of SFO or OAK. Delta has done right by me each and every time something's come up.

Stuck on the tarmac in the snow and miss the connecting flight (last of the day)? They automatically rebooked me on another airline and I got a notification from the app as soon as I had reception.

3+ SFO bound flights delayed at JFK because of crazy winds at SFO? They proactively encouraged people to rebook, gratis. I rebooked on a flight the next day on nicer equipment, through the app, went into town, grabbed some bagels and had a flight at a nearly ideal time of day.

Regional plane goes tech? They had a red coat out and about keeping everyone informed.

Missed a flight because I misread the departure time? They sold me a same day ticket on the next flight at a hefty discount and I kept the inbound leg.

Southwest has a huge disadvantage and it's not tech: it's the lack of interline agreements. Nearly every other airline (except perhaps Spirit) can rebook you on another carrier when things go sideways. Southwest simply can't. With an interline agreement in place you'd have far fewer people getting stuck with exorbitant last minute fares.

In general though don't fly when you're getting unusual weather. Less than an inch of snow at PDX throws everything into chaos (and Portlanders call it fucking snowpocalypse). A few inches of snow at PWM and they don't even blink.
Windows users are just used to things not working so they become desensitised. Every windows laptop has had suspend broken for the last few years and windows users just think it’s normal that your laptop heats up and drains to 0% overnight.
I used something like this to get from Berlin to Amsterdam. I wasn't hotboxed but did get to spend the ride chatting with an attractive fashion student. It was cool because I'm not involved in fashion at all but my uni was using that industry for a lot of examples in lessons.
So basically he's using the path integral formalism, and since that requires you to specify both the start and end points of the path, he's claiming that physics has to work that way?

That seems like a very extravagant claim given that we can compute the same results without using the path integral formalism, and without having to know anything about future end points.
I stopped drinking in January 2014 as part of a Dry January challenge with some friends. This was after a decade or so of heavy alcoholism. I had one relapse two months later, and since then, I've kept it going. No alcohol since March 2014.

Of course, there's more to the story, like all the reasons I was an alcoholic in the first place. The other people who were doing the challenge just went back to drinking normally. But at that moment, I just happened to be at the right place in my life where abstaining for a while helped with quitting: I was in a stable relationship with a supportive partner, I began to take my career a little more seriously, and I had just gotten back into competitive Dance Dance Revolution. Playing hardcore DDR several hours a day, I could clearly see the effects of a previous night of drinking in my physical and mental performance -- as pure numbers, in the form of scores.

It's worth trying: you might be at a stopping point too. Without that Dry January, I may have slowed down, but would I have really, actually quit?

In short, my perspective on alcohol is as follows:

- Mental and physical health are hard enough to maintain without constantly poisoning myself with a depressant. If you're having a hard time getting things done, and you aren't exercising enough, alcohol probably isn't helping.

- I needed to learn to socialize, express my emotions, and release inhibitions without alcohol. So I did, and now I can do that.

- Without alcohol, for better or worse (almost entirely for the better), life becomes drastically more predictable. Yes, you'll probably make fewer crazy memories. But: you'll be a better friend and partner, every flight of stairs gets way less dangerous, and you'll pretty much never vomit again.

Coming out of alcoholism on the other side really feels like a superpower. No hangovers, better sleep, and I don't get sick. At social events, the drunker everyone else gets, the funnier and smarter I am.

I completely understand why people drink, and I don't hold it against anyone. I just don't need to do it anymore. Dry January is a good idea.
100% agree that happens, and frequently, but it's also perfectly avoidable - don't try to maximize volume. Bring a carry on that fits underneath a seat. I typically travel with a rectangular backpack (plus, if needed, a check in, which I acknowledge may not make it there). It gives one an independence and self sufficiency that's completely worth it.
This wouldn't apply to everyone's circumstances, but I found it helpful to go for a walk away from the office in the middle of every day, weather permitting. (I worked in a city with interesting scenery; I'd eat lunch in 15 minutes, then wander around exploring for 45 minutes.) It was refreshing, and gave me perspective that there was a world outside of the office.

Do you?

You haven't actually responded to any of the points I've made, you're simply insisting that because "there's a lot" of Aboriginal art sites, vandalizing them is somehow okay or not that big of a deal.

> their thoughtless graffiti isn't exactly genocide

Thoughtless destruction is pretty much the exact definition of genocide.
SWA averaged about 4100 flights/day in 2021. 5400 flight cancellations is about half of this load.

irrops and cancellations during holidays has unfortunately been normal especially since COVID but I'm guessing fewer employees and the winter storm would cause this to happen.
I expect it to be unimaginable, literally, because without a running brain I can't imagine. How do you even reason or predict beyond that.
they were right about all of that, except that bsd did have general ipc

they ended up implementing the multiuser timesharing capability (aka multitasking), but i remember the machine as ridiculously unstable anyway

this probably made the gui unusably slow on the available hardware, though the at&t unix pc did sort of work on hardware that was only two or three times as fast

not sure what you'd do with ipc without multitasking tho

This looks something like the Transactional Interpretation of QM, which made use of advanced as well as retarded waves to explain things like EPR correlations. I think it's fair to say this is still a very open area of research and it's way too early to say how it will end up.

I was on the eagerly checking when this update came out. Wanted that iphone as webcam feature. It's such a huge improvement. My webcam no longer looks like a washed out newspaper printout.

No. One is science-based and good faith. The other is regressive and based on Christianity.
My "new" (and I don't claim this is unique at all) rule for Amazon is that I no longer buy 1) anything that goes in or on my body, 2) is a safety device (carabiners, rope, flashlights, etc.), 3) is a fire hazard (charging bricks, etc.), or 4) high counterfeit risk/low barrier (SD cards, etc., as I do wedding photography professionally).

And that's even from the "Manufacturer Store", "from Amazon". Still not worth the risk of co-mingling (which I'm skeptical even happens, even if Amazon says a seller can opt out of co-mingling).
