Yeah, at this point I wish they'd just use numbers like iOS.

So we're at iOS 17 and macOS 14.

Because honestly I stopped caring about keeping track of the names long ago. It's cute if you care, they can still put it in the About window for the sake of tradition, but it would be a lot more helpful if it were just referred to as macOS 14 in the press and documentation.
It's all part of the text .. leaving out "well regulated (ie. trained responsible locals that can act as a unit, not village idiots with 3 DUI's and a couple of domestic violence charges) is 'infringing' on that right to have well drilled, well outfitted, well regulated, armed people.

Within the last 6 months, a local Target I use has refitted most of the store with locked sliding doors for shelves and anti-theft tags for larger items. I noticed that high priced groceries like steaks also tend to be permanently ‘sold out’. There is an open street market nearby that sells products that match closely with what the target sells. Homeless tend to just hang out in front or inside. Wasn’t like this several years ago, so times are clearly changing.

Maybe. But compared to eg 18th century people almost all our time today is spent on frivolities.

Of course, we often pay each other for these frivolities. So people don't treat them as free time.

no one is normalizing bioweapon threats, they're normalizing accusing the other side of bioweapon threats

but I guess that's pedantic and I agree with you that it sucks that no one would be surprised if a bioweapon did occur because everyone suspects the other side of it anyway

If we're coming up with brick and mortar analogies, it's got to be grocery stores and generic branded items. Kraft Mac vs Great Value.

It's hard for me to say Amazon shouldn't be able to do it while every grocery store can, but there seems to be a quantitative difference because of the ridiculous number of options online vs the finite shelf space of a brick and mortar.

All the same economic games are played. Items are placed on specific shelves to drive specific sales, etc. Sale numbers are known by the store and they get their cut.

The distinguisher is supposed to be in the quality. Premium vs generic. That doesn't seem to play out healthily in Amazon's marketplace.

Maybe one difference is the consumable nature of the grocery products vs what one typically buys online (Amazon batteries as opposed to an animal carrier). Or maybe we have given up too much with the consolidation of grocery chains the last few decades and that is equally problematic.
The unfortunate truth is that there are no drag-and-drop solutions. Almost as a general rule.
I'm not really sure this is the case, and I think most people who say this haven't tried Tailwind out in anger.

Tailwind is really just a DSL over CSS. Which means you need to know and understand CSS to write it. The syntax is perhaps marginally simpler, although it has its own complexities. The biggest thing you no longer need to worry about is selector specificity, but even that's something I rarely worried about in the first place in CSS.

Everything else - the cascade, the attributes, the units, pseudo-classes, and so on - are all present in Tailwind, and you still need to understand what's going on to use it. And because Tailwind is mostly just a relatively transparent layer over CSS, all your CSS knowledge still applies. So you're not using "someone else's code", because in writing Tailwind styles, you're just writing CSS in a different syntax.

(Whether or not you need that different syntax is another story, and that mainly comes down to how much you use components and partials in your HTML authoring. If you work quite hard on deduplicating your HTML, then Tailwind is useful because your styles end up deduplicated for free alongside the HTML. If you tend to use HTML directly as your content authoring tool, then Tailwind leads to a lot of duplication, and you probably want to use CSS directly.
I'm genuinely curious, why does this take so long?

I can't even begin to imagine. If I'm deleting 200 files on my M1 MBA, that's still going to take 30-45 seconds.

It's doing something. What is it doing? Does it have something to do with Time Machine or file versioning or secure erase or what?

Everything else is blazingly fast as it should be.
At least theoretically one could have a dynamic language with e.g. C-style malloc/free manual memory management, although I haven't actually seen such a thing in practice.
Nothing wrong with buying smart equipment, as long as it's local first using common protocols like generic Zigbee. That way you don't NEED to use the manufacturers hubs and interfaces and you substitute out for your own controller like Homeassistant or a third party Hub.

I'm generally not a huge fan of templating "languages". (Probably because they're almost never actual languages, and typically when they are, they turn into symbol soup that doesn't look anything like the end result, structurally speaking.)

That said, I've been using Spinneret for a side project[1] for a while, and overall I'm very happy with it. It's nice to have macros like deftag and all the other magic powers of Common Lisp, and because of CL's syntactic simplicity, the templates remain easy to read and reason about while getting a lot done.

I recommend giving Spinneret a try!

I think a major benefit of open source is that it doesn’t require good intentions on the part of the maintainers. A consortium of maintainers ensures that none of them have the market power to change the license.
There is already a german word for it, it's called "Verschlimbesserung". Which you could translate to "Improving but making it worse", sounds better in german so. :)

Having more choice means that in case you need them you can use these other choices, it doesn't mean you will have to explain to someone about all these different choices and how they work, your current explanation of how to download apps will still be valid. Also, these new choices will not impact the sandbox implementation of core iOS.
There's a difference between software engineering and computer science. Yes, with a CS degree you will gain deep understanding of how computers and programming languages work, but few programs teach the skills needed for professional software development. Also, by far the majority of programming in business is pretty simple: it doesn't require knowing how to invert a matrix, but it might require knowing the best language and library to use if your domain requires matrix inversions.
Of course they haven't invented it. But it's the execution and scaling that's more difficult than ideas. Like Elon Musk says, Ideas are easy, Execution is difficult and scaling is excruciating. I find it amusing how much we as a civilization don't value execution, scaling and operations.

I have 2 stories of the 'no can do' in Europe vs USA.

Was on a business trip to Oslo Norway. Meeting involved a bunch of people, from around Europe. A couple of Finish guys joined my wife and me at a very nice restaurant. Not coat and tie, but definitely a major step up from a USA chain steakhouse. One of the Finns wanted a hamburger, but he was a big boy and was very hungry, it was 7 hours since we had lunch. So he asked that his hamburger be made with 2 patties of beef, not one, happy to pay whatever the price was. Waiter left, came back 15 minutes later and said sorry 'we cannot do that'. Excluding fast food, I cannot think of any place that would sell a hamburger in the USA that would not have accommodated my friend.

2nd event is the UK mobile phone service. At least my experience when you go to a brick and mortar store (not a kiosk), the manager there has the authority to do pretty much anything. Not literally, but they can get a lot accomplished if you need help. In the UK the people at the store do not know, and are not authorized to do anything beyond sell you a phone. And God forbid you want to terminate your service. Hours and hours later.... if you are lucky .... they will let you end your service (assuming contract is fully paid) in 2 months from now.

You should thank Steve Jobs much more than Google for this revolution. Mapquest was the true pioneer. Apple and the iPhone then made maps and driving directions slightly more portable. Google iterated on their initial idea by integrating GPS, street view, and finally traffic data onto those driving directions.
Logitech still supports the Harmony devices, for how much longer remains to be seen. I just recently replaced some that had broke so I'm good till the next device failure as long as I don't make any major replacements either.

I know I'm part of a dwindling customer base that still uses separate A/V gear and not just built-in streaming apps and a soundbar, but it seems like there would have still been a market for competent universal remotes that you could customize.

I hated how almost every generation of their remotes got harder to use and program compared to pre-Logitech Harmony. The Touch remotes were practically unusable because you had frequently used buttons in poor locations and a touch screen that you had to scroll through to find the correct soft touch button for that wasn't especially responsive, the old models with all hard buttons were vastly more usable.
But I think that's the misconception today. Micromanagement is often being confused with just management. Terminology wise I agree with your term

Maybe that's true, but in the long run, I'll stick with the "community" of multiple SaaS providers all awkwardly sharing a permissive license than the one provider who took their ball and went home with it. Ultimately, the companies involved have to somewhat care about their users because the product needs to be good or no one will use it. The alternative is core Terraform or the first party's IaC options, which are all more closed and more don't care about the user.

Community may not be the #1 goal, but it's certainly on the list of things that has value about the project, both to the users and the maintainers.
You're only counting the negatives. Even with all those negatives, Google has a net positive effect on the web/Internet, IMO.

You can outsource work but can't outsource wishing. You got to know how to demand and what to reject, or else, if you try to automate or outsource that, the other people and AIs won't necessarily work in your best interest. They follow their own interests, you got to do it yourself.

Not knowing that something exists is a sure way of never demanding it. Having an education is even more useful today when all you need to do is knowing how to ask.

It states one of the purposes of the amendment. Many early commentator also omitted it when talking about the amendment.

> The meaning of the provision undoubtedly is, that the people, from whom the militia must be taken, shall have the right to keep and bear arms, and they need no permission or regulation of law for the purpose.

~ Thomas Cooley 1898 https://twitter.com/MorosKostas/status/1645290273902305280

> The prohibition is general. No clause in the Constitution could by any rule of construction be conceived to give congress a power to disarm the people.

~ William Rawle 1825 https://twitter.com/MorosKostas/status/1645290263299117056

> Mr. Eliot, of Massachusetts, who had charge of the bill in the House, moved an amendment to the seventh section by inserting as one of the rights to which negroes were entitled "the constitutional right to bear arms." Since the House adopted this amendment, which was also concurred in by the Senate, it is evident that the right to bear arms was regarded as one of the rights pertaining to citizens, and as this right is secured by the Second Amendment, it may reasonably be inferred that the other rights and privileges secured or enumerated by the first eight Amendments were also regarded as belonging to all persons.

> Horace Edgar Flack 1908 ~ The Adoption of the Fourteenth Amendment https://twitter.com/MorosKostas/status/1645290276993527810

> The right of the people to keep and bear arms. object of this clause is to secure a well-armed militia. It has always been the policy of free governments to dispense, as far as possible, with standing armies, and to rely for their defence, both against foreign invasion and domestic turbulence, upon the militia. Regular armies have always been associated with despotism. But a militia would be useless unless the citizens were enabled to exercise themselves in the use of warlike weapons. To preserve this privilege, and to secure to the people the ability to oppose themselves in military force against the usurpations of government, as well as against enemies from without, that government is forbidden by any law or proceeding to invade or destroy the right to keep and bear arms.

And this kind of highlights the kind of hypocrisy implied by the original comment.

"Having to do manual labour to make ends meet while the _______ paint and write poetry was not the future I had in mind"

For the less fortunate people struggling to make ends meet, it may not matter that much whether it's robots or the aristocracy, or the upper middle class doing the poetry writing.

Until the last couple decades, 99% of humanity was always doing doing manual labor to make ends meet. It's just that the literate class throughout history always identified with the 1% rather than the 99%. We're conditioned to think that creative endeavors are always more "noble" than manual labor because that's what nobles did.

Ironically the fact that we pay "knowledge workers" more than manual laborers might have contributed to this outcome. If toilet janitors commanded a $500k salary maybe more R&D budget would go to inventing robots that are good at cleaning toilets, instead of AI systems that are good at solving leetcode.
