You could try searching for "Post-it Flags, 200/High Volume Desk Grip Dispenser"

* They remove cleanly, if you're worried about permanently marking up or defacing a book.

* They are easy to write on (I've mostly used EF nib fountain pens).

* Best of all, since they are color-coded, you can invent your own scheme (e.g. blue == "I should revisit this", yellow == "my top N favorite quotes from this book", etc.)

Edit: to add another point

* They are large enough that you can write a decent sentence in there -- the "page flag" size might be a tad too small for that (but thanks to the EF nib, I often find myself using different-colored flags).
In all seriousness, written defamation is a tort if you can prove that the allegations about you are both factually false (not just "opinions I don't like" or "not the full story" - even the statement "X is a Nazi" might not be defamatory) and materially damaging. It doesn't sound like either of those is the case.

If this guy loses a $10M/year job over these posts, his lawyer may well go through them to see if they are defamatory.

Does anyone else have a problem where secondary displays on mac just stop working, and the only way to fix it is to unplug and replug the display cable, or cycle inputs on the monitor? Nothing I've done seems to fix it. I don't know if its because its a 144hz monitor or what, but it never happened on my previous 60hz monitors and it never happens when i plug into my windows box.

It wouldn’t, as soon as the movement resulted in a cost which impacted current Microsoft products, Microsoft would scale back.

But Microsoft have such huge vendor lock-in within big business that moving to an alternate would be a significant cost.
I forgot about Swift, that's true (and great).

Kotlin (and even Java 15+ nowadays) can emulate ADTs with sealed classes, but the ergonomics are incredibly bad and the ecosystem is not build around the concept.

Scala has ADTs, but I would put Scala in the same category as Haskell or OCaml. A niche language.

Typescript does not have ADT, they have union types. You can build a discriminated type out of a union type, but you have to do this manually. This misses on the ergonomics of using ADTs plus people do it in different ways.

ADTs in one way or another are becoming more mainstream, but they are very far from being accepted by default.

From https://github.com/orgs/community/discussions/54450#discussi... :

"I'm Australian so I wont be attending either (I am not comfortable to enter the US due to a preexisting medical issue)."

That's the "Medical costs in the US are extremely high. You may need to pay up-front for medical assistance" part of the text.

I do not know if travel health insurance generally covers complications from a pre-existing condition, and as other mentioned, getting travel insurance which covers the US is already a special case.
Your chronology is incorrect.

- Arthur Andersen and Andersen Consulting split in 1989. It was an acrimonious divorce, with a long arbitration settlement finally concluding on 1 Jan 2000.

- That settlement gave AA exclusive use of the Andersen name. So Andersen Consulting changed its name to Accenture on 1 Jan 2000.

- Enron collapsed in 2001 and Arthur Andersen went out of business in 2002.

So it's not accurate to say that AA's consulting business continued at Accenture; the split happened a decade earlier.
I've had Apple silently delete music from Music when I had iTunes Match, and I've stayed paying for Dropbox despite wanting to use iCloud, which would be no extra cost for me, because their mechanisms for dealing with conflicts are different - Dropbox saves a version with "Name's conflicted version 2024-04-26" in the filename, whereas AFAIK iCloud silently decides what to keep and drop so you can't manually decide how to merge a conflict.

I too find it hard to imagine how someone can lose all their passkeys three times, and I guess they may be doing something funky given their profession, but I think many of these events just happen too easily in the Apple ecosystem and my trust in them managing things like that is relatively low - hence my use of 1Password instead of iCloud keychain. The Music thing in particular really stung as I never got a good handle on what was missing - I'd just occasionally come across a "this file is missing" error when I tried to play a song, and I'm left with this kind of cloud of unknowing when it comes to my Music library.

Thanks for the considered reply, I've searched for the answer myself and never had any luck. It is strange that all of these studies confidently announce the one percentage and never mention the other, and without the latter, the former seems meaningless.
Exactly and this is what they've been doing, per the recent trial and post on the guy who destroyed Search. That's what 90% market share let's you do, stuff another 1 or 2 ads before results, reword/suggest queries so they are more valuable, worsen results so people try more queries (and see more ads) for one search, articially boost the 2nd ad bid (in a second price auction) so that the winner has to pay more than 2nd place bid.

Been a shareholder a long time and 20%+ growth on 11-digit quarterly revenue still mindboggled me
I think it is true that you can's export passkeys stored in Apple Keychain. However, the statement is false in two ways:

- Apple's iCloud Keychain syncs across devices

- Apple has APIs that allow third party apps to create and offer passkeys, presented as a first-class option in Apple's authentication system. I use this to sync my passkeys between my Mac, Windows PC, and iPhone.
Plenty, but fortunately the fix is just an unplug+replug. In the past, the secondary display kept working but a sneaky kernel task took over 200% CPU, and you had to 1) realize the computer is feeling even more sluggish than normal 2) know what the heck kernel task is 3) know that un/re-plugging will fix the CPU load

YES! And if it enlarges one's worldview, it's because Philosophy stands as the root, the superset if you will, of all other areas of knowledge, art, science, etc. For example, if Gödel's Incompleteness Theorem explores the boundaries of what Mathematics can know and we want to seriously understand what this means, then we are entering Philosophy.

I stopped not because they are less enjoyable but because they are too enjoyable.

When I play games, I inevitably end up extending my gaming sessions when I get caught up in excitement. This is especially true with fighting games.

I find that unacceptable since I have many other hobbies that I want to give my time to. It is just easier to avoid the temptation of extending my sessions than to fight it.

I don’t think I’d call Deleuze “wrong” based on my one line description, if you haven’t read him yourself.

The rest of your comment seems predicated on a Platonic idea of concepts; which is definitely not in line with how Deleuze thinks about things. His ideas are very much not in line with the typical way of thinking about concepts as universal things we discover.

Edit: I should note here that I’m not an expert on Deleuze or Platonism, but I would probably say that Deleuze’s skepticism makes more intuitive sense to me.

Direct distribution will completely re-shape the content landscape, I believe. Probably starting with the most dysfunctional industry of "producing" music. The intermediaries are borderline parasitic there.

This is how I'm using them. Still have a username/password, with a passkey as an additional factor. I use 1Password for passkeys rather than Apple's solution, which enables me to use them wherever I have 1Password.
I think I'm a tech guy and know my fields. I still have no real clue how passkeys work, how it is better, what it really is.

When your security feature is not as simple as - remember a name and a password and store it somewhere safe - it doesn't work.

Something about keys that are on devices. But what happens when I use a phone and a pc? How to get access then? Do I need a User/PW for the first time? Or do I need one of those keys I have to plug into the device first?

She begins by splitting her essay prompt—the title of the essay given to her students—into two paragraphs before adding a sentence in-between in white using the smallest size possible. The idea is that if the essay prompt is copied and pasted into ChatGPT, the teacher can then search for the sentence hidden in the small white font when the assignment is submitted.

There is a problem though. "If a student happens to notice that there is hidden text in their assignment prompt, then there are some possible outcomes: they can either remove the text or mistake it as a part of the instructions," she said.
I am now conditioned to believe that any time a lawyer or a corporation crafts a statement, it has the bare minimum truth value required by the semantics of the statement.

In this case "baseless speculation" would mean "it's all true, but you can't prove it" and "inaccurate" means "one minor detail is a bit off."
I don’t experience most of them either. Windows do get shuffled occasionally but it’s not that frequent. My setup is a Studio Display and now quite old Thunderbolt Display.

The Dock issue for example isn’t a problem for me because I have mouse sensitivity on high and take advantage of Fitts’ law. Tossing my cursor to the left with a certain velocity lands it on my left side dock on the secondary monitor reliably.

My use of the second display is primarily sets of “secondary” apps divided into desktops. This setup keeps everything sorted and makes manual management of windows mostly unnecessary… just switch to the desktop with the windows you’re looking for.

I could probably get used to a single large display or ultrawide, but I’d gravely miss that mix and match aspect of virtual desktops on multiple monitors. It’s so much nicer than futzing around with tiling, splits, etc.
Passkeys are exactly like SSH keys. You should use them exactly like you use SSH keys.
MacOS is notorious for this. By default, it would only run binaries signed with an Apple-issued certificate. You can bypass this multiple different ways, of course, but that requires knowing that it can be bypassed in the first place.

Then there are mobile OSes where you don't get to see the binaries at all. Yes you can repack an apk but again, that's a more involved process requiring specific tools and knowledge (and very awkward to do on the device itself), and iOS is completely locked down.

I thought Mac had it better than Linux. But after reading this...

Anyway, I'm hopeful the situation for Linux will improve over the coming years with Wayland more-and-more becoming the default (so more people use it, and more will put effort to make it better) AND being a better foundation for building multi-monitor goodness on top (Xorg was getting old).

Would Windows do a better job at this than Mac? (havent used Windows in decades)
The external display limitations of Apple silicon Macs are inscrutable and infuriating.

I have an M3 Pro from work. At the office, I plug it into an HP dock with a single USB-C cable (which I believe is TB4). I have 3 displays connected to the dock and they all work.

I purchased the exact same dock for my home, but only 2 of my displays work there.

I think the M3 Pro is documented to support 2 displays; you have to get the Ultra to have 3 (absurd). The dock is able to do some kind of workaround with the displays at the office, but I can’t figure out what the displays at home are lacking for that to work.

It’s 2024! For gods sake I should be able to have a dozen displays if I want.
Yes - I noticed that the OP mentions they reboot a lot. If you just reboot for OS updates, and use sleep the rest of the time, most (all?) of these problems go away.

Same for closing apps - with modern OS's keeping an app open is likely not an issue as it'll not consume resources when not in focus, unless it's running a heap of background tasks.
If you've been fired, it typically signals you had very bad performance or committed some fireable offense. If you were laid off, you were ostensibly just on the wrong team at the wrong time.

A lot of the sciences (as all fields of study at the university) is more art than science (in the English sense). Locking in philosophy to be more like the sciences, narrows down the enquiry. Take the social sciences, where philosophy is crucial to provide epistemology, how do we know, that is crucial to look at when conducting a study. Or ontology, what is there really, what are social relations, what is culture. Philosophy's metaphysics grounds the sciences, the project of Kant who came from the sciences, and was shocked by rationalism and empiricism, which shake the very foundations, the former basically saying we cannot trust our senses and have to derive everything from thought alone, and empiricism, saying thought is messy, everything has to based on sense-data. Kant then provides the synthesis of both concepts, and in the culture wars we can still see its reminiscences. We never have cold facts, all of what we know is based on apriori knowledge, things we take for granted, learned, are influenced by society. So philosophy is crucial as a base layer. Trying to abolish this layer only impoverishes the sciences.
I'd love to use a Linux distribution and window manager on my MacBook, in particular KDE. Would be totally awesome, great hardware and a power-user friendly operating system. I resort to using a ThinkPad for my Linux needs and it's ok but the new Macs are just leagues ahead in terms of hardware.
macOS has an accessibility feature which lets you set a second display to be a continuous zoomed-in presentation of the first display. It’s pretty good in use. But EVERY TIME you unplug the second display, macOS forgets that you wanted that set-up. It’s configured three or four layers deep in System Settings, so it’s fiddly to reach (more-so if your vision isn5 great and you’re squinting to find the controls in the first place). I’ve given up using the feature because the interruption to workflow is so infuriating.
Three times I tried switching from Windows to Mac and each time I bounced because of how janky basic window ergonomics were. I shouldn't have to buy single-dollar-programs to fix core OS functionality.
WikIran is a WikiLeaks clone, so, yes, it has already been done.
Yeah I agree. I am familiar with crypto and public key authentication and password hashing and so on, and I cannot follow all of the terms and use modes. To the average user it's going to be a complete black box. They won't have a clue what's going on.

With passwords it's fairly obvious. Even if you don't know about password hashing, semantically it is the same as how you would obviously expect. Same with password managers. It's obvious what they're doing.

So I think this would fail even if it didn't have all the problems the author mentioned - it's simply too complicated for normal people to understand and trust.
Changing between set ups, also hurts. Itshould be built in that it knows I've been here before and rearrange to match this rig, not the one with the stifle giant monitor, and nit the times I'm just on the mac
I've had to make a bunch of Hammerspoon hacks for myself to make macOS remember where windows should be.

In my experience macOS doesn't even remember where spaces should be.

If blue pumped LEDs rely on short wavelength emitters and phosphor excitation, how similar is the light spectrum to that of fluorescent lamps?

As you may know, fluorescent lights are not used in museums because the UV light from them damages things. Incandescent lights were used for a long time, but I've been told that now LEDs are recommended because the emission spectrum is sufficiently safe. I'm wondering if blue pumped LEDs will cause a reversion.

> I don’t see why a li-ion battery pack wouldn’t be usable for 15 years.

For 2 reasons, primarily. First, Toyota chose nickel-cadmium batteries because of their higher charge-cycle life, at the cost of a much lower energy density (about half that of li-ion). Secondly, they designed their system so that the discharge rate and the discharge level of their battery pack stayed low, thereby maximizing the lifetime of their battery pack, at the cost, once more, of extra weight.

So those two aspects combined mean that you can expect a much longer real-life usage of your battery pack before reduced performance becomes an issue.

I fully agree that a battery pack replacement after 15 years could be considered reasonable (as long as the build quality of the rest of the car warrants it, which is not a given nowadays). But if the mean-time between replacement is around 5 years, then it becomes unreasonable.
Whenever I think about the good old DOS days, QEMM and DESQview come to mind. Esp. DESQview which was a rather essential part of my DOS experience... Sources for these would be fun to look at.
I dislike the limitation on how many external displays you can have with a Mac, though by and large I've had very few problems with it. I can't really identify with any of the problems the author mentions, personally. The only problem that happens semi-frequently is that windows on external displays will swap displays when I resume from sleep.
I use multiple external displays (some at the office and some at home) with an Arm Mac and, frankly, it mostly works without thinking about it. Sometimes things change their shape because of the different resolution, but it basically works. Just my $.02

Them, after I show them the comics: “and so you bought that shirt?”
Superficial and banal. Sorry.

Thinkers like Kierkegaard, Nietzsche, or even modern existentialists have far more interesting things to say on the nature of ambition, the search for meaning, and the human condition. Is a surface-level analysis by DHH (referencing other awful role models such as Musk) really the best we can do?

The clichéd dichotomy of the corporate grind vs thrilling, chaotic adventures lead by visionary leaders is simplistic to the point of redundancy. It's a pretty old theme by now and reiterating it barely tells us anything useful.

This whole blog post is just a collection of broad comments and claims without any meaningful critical examination. Harmless enough, but hardly worth taking the time to read IMO.
I just recently had a really weird bug with Linux and external USB-C display. Basically after reboot with lid closed, system was gone into madness, like display flickers, laptop blinks with its led and eventually it just dies (probably kernel panic).

Turned out it's a dance between systemd putting system to sleep because external display is not connected and waking up because external display is connected. I might be wrong about it, but basically display takes some time to initialize and without input it'll turn off, so those events couldn't alight. What's worse it worked sometimes, so I spent some time distro-hopping, because I thought it's a bug in kernel or mesa.

In the end I just disabled sleep mode in systemd. I don't like this solution, but it's Linux, what could I say... At least I was able to disable it, LoL. Probably with Mac I would have to live with it.
The corroboration does come from people inside: from the emails they wrote, which were released as part of court proceedings.
