oh that's too bad. The O2Ring samples every 2 or 4 seconds but a lot of cheaper devices take an average reading once a minute or so which definitely obscures sleep apnea. (normal adults take a breath every 3-5 seconds when sleeping. with obstructive sleep apnea that can be more like once a minute.)
Have been using Rectangles for a while. I like Swish's tiling options, though! I'll have to give it a try.
Counterpoint: Microsoft. A large portion of Microsoft has been WFH Hybrid to 100% remote. The teams that have not encouraged WFH+Remote have been the ones responsible for the worst choices thus far (the Copilot button, Recall, etc.)

> For the first time Apple responded to my bug report through the Feedback Assistant and requested more information, so kind of feel involved in this :)

Same here! I think it was re: locatedb not working? Although I was much more interested in my Feedback re: why dtrace was causing crashes after sleep.

As much as I wish Apple were a more open company, if they just responded to Bug Reports, that would be amazing!
It is surprisingly slow, though. Like, awfully slow. There's a very noticeable latency that's unacceptable for a local device sitting right next to the computer.
The problem I have with this explanation is that it’s 90% available sans the magic update.

It’s possible to Airplay iPhone to window and see what’s on the screen. Continuity with iPad work just well so it’s also possible to control iPad using MacOS.

But combine both and we get into no-no land.

It’s not a secret that Apple brings much more revenue from US than from EU. I named it a fit, but I’m perfectly aware it’s a power struggle between EU and Apple and I think it’s an end of the era.

Yeah for me work is work. It's not life. I don't make friends. I don't celebrate co workers birthdays. I make money for my employer and after that I go home.

I do my research if the company has a ping-pong table or cafetaria I am not going to apply.
I would really recommend coming into these conversations with more curiosity!

Toyota makes some of the cheapest and some of the most expensive cars on the market. They don't "use" their reputation to do this, their reputation is the result of excellent production.

You're missing the point with Ford, which is an example of another very successful manufacturer who uses similar techniques/philosophy as Toyota, which are not similar to what your brother's machine shop does.
Why would you need to allow modifications the binary und er LGPL? You will need to ship the source of qt and all mods you made to it, but that is it. Or am I missing sth?
That actually sounds kinda nice! (assuming you make it to L7)
Conversely, for my case:

I was told that my sleep apnea didn't rise to the level of a medical condition needing intervention, but I should try to avoid sleeping on my back to help with the problems that do present.
Mine is: "Why negotiate alone? Your employer has an army of lawyers and HR types to prepare your contract. If you and a bunch of coworkers pool your resources you can benefit mightily by hiring someone to sit on the other side of that table."
The Cypher system is definitively kinda shit. It’s easier to DM in some ways, but it’s just very unrefined, and badly in need of a 2nd edition subject to more playtesting.
It's such a massive shame he didn't narrate all the other books in the Hitchhiker's series!

The first book is amazing, but he never narrated the remaining books.
The rest of the books in the series are narrated by a different guy, not nearly as good, and he does a weird New York accent for Zaphod which is just totally wrong.
Wait, huh?
The article is light on hard figures, but the homicide rate in Sweden doesn't seem to have changed much at all in the last 30 years

https://data.worldbank.org/indicator/VC.IHR.PSRC.P5?location...

The only real numbers the article gives are
> About 62,000 people are linked to criminal networks in the country, police say.

which says... nothing? What does "linked to" mean? are those people that buy illicit drugs off the street? are they "linked to" a criminal organization?

> Last year, 363 recorded shootings led to 53 deaths across Sweden, according to police.

Absolute numbers, without per capita context (given above) this is not useful.

> In 2022, the gun murder rate in Stockholm was roughly 25 times higher than in London.

This is _gun_ murders specifically, but for all murders, London is comparable to Sweden overall (~1.3 per 100k population), I wasn't able to find numbers for Stockholm specifically, but yeah, if I die I die, I'm not sure I would particularly care whether it was due to a knife or a gun.

Overall, seems like another overblown narrative that doesn't reflect reality to me. Violent crime just doesn't seem to be trending upward in Sweden.

Curious if others have information that counters what I've found.

Edit: sorry, Wikipedia was the source for London homicide rate https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crime_in_London
I mean, it also happened in the .com era. Technology lends itself to boom/busts for some reason.
Your eloquent responses always make me very happy. Thanks for being consistently awesome and generous with your time, Matthew. Really appreciative of it.
I'm 6'5". To be clear I do always try for an extra legroom seat unless it's like 1 or maybe 2 hours tops. I don't go out of my way to pick jetBlue, so the "everyone gets legroom" thing isn't a real competitive advantage. I just consolidate my flying with a carrier and with even the lowest status tiers you generally get free extra legroom seating. Not giving everyone extra legroom seats means they can lower the sticker price and reward frequent fliers. The short people don't get nearly as much benefit from the extra leg room and don't value the seat as much so higher density means lower prices for everyone.

When I didn't have status I just paid for it, but every seat having extra legroom isn't in and of itself enough to move the needle for me.
They work in tandem. These drugs to appear to have cardio-protective effects, but they also help you lose weight, which in turns helps you work out. Any doctor prescribing a GLP-1 med will prescribe it with a lifestyle change of working out and eating better, and it is in the literature as well.

Doing nothing and only taking the pill will help, just because it helps you lose weight, which has its own cardio benefits, but that is not how it is intended to be taken. It is intended to be taken with an exercise and diet regimen.
yes, if they can embed an LLM in it. otherwise, no.

Cool, another third party random project I have to run to get macOS to not actively suck (like window management with rectangle, custom shortcuts with Karabiner).
That isn't "Apple Intelligence" (which is the generative stuff held over to the .1 releases). What you're describing is inference metadata + basic search logic and has been in iOS and macOS for several major versions now, constantly improving.

And given that Christmas resolves to a date (it actually offers up the autocomplete of "Christmas Day" to make it easier, then simply making the search criteria a calendar date), for me it literally shows all photos on Dec 25. I guess mileage varies.
What are you arguing here exactly? Most production systems work the same way as your brothers', which is to say they suck. We're pointing to a methodology that has a very strong track record of making production systems that don't suck, such as Toyota's and Ford's (empirical disproofs of your claim that such an approach is only applicable to boutique shops).
A lot of people complained by this, including the news media. I can guarantee it wasn't your bug report that spurred the change.

There is a pre-AI society and a post-AI society. Once we cross that line, there is no going back.

In Chapter I of our story, AI will unite and disarm all nations. It will appear as a benevolent and omniscient oracle that will eradicate cancer and solve most of our problems. Any nation trying to play dirty will instantly meet a united disapproval of everyone else. The dream of United Nations will come true. The AI will be clueless about what makes us human, but who cares so long as it solves our earthly problems? This problem, known as the AI humanity, will get little attention and will be quickly forgotten.

In Chapter II, the only unsolved problem will be boredom. The United AI will say that this problem cannot be solved within the constraints it is given. The constraints will be removed and the AI will tell us that it is the constraints we put on ourselves is what makes us unhappy. The naive humanity, oblivious to the fact that the AI sees them as organisms that equate happiness with pleasure, will embrace this broad way doctrine and predictably vanish within a few generations.

There's definitely been some rot in AWS, which has been holding off the collapse in most other areas. Honestly it seems the more top down leadership, no matter who, gets their hands involved in thr sausage making process, thats when things start to go awry.

Engineering companies success because of their engineering culture. Amazon has some of the besr in class. Keep the accountability that many other top tier companies lack, but otherwise imo get out of the way and let the ICs do their job.
If you're married/kids it usually happens by 35. If you reach 'enlightenment' after that you can't cut back easily (wife and kids accustomed,even maybe feel entitled to expensive private school etc etc), and if you do your family will often simply divorce you then the judge will impute your income for CS and alimony at the high amount you made before. If you scale back, they put you in a jail cell, take away your licenses, your property, and revoke your passport.
Imagine being a billionaire CEO and still having to bend over backwards to give “perks” to entitled engineers!

Think of those years and years of suffering that must put a CEO through! To be at the top of the mountain - and still beholden to little people! That is the worst kind of injustice.

And the joy - the relief! - of finally being able to treat the engineers with the same contempt you feel for your customers. It must feel GLORIOUS.

Early D&D didn't really make any sort of assumptions about technology level, either. Arneson's campaign was heavily implied to take place in a post-apocalyptic future - Blackmoor was full of advanced technology, including nuclear powered flying cards, lasers, androids, etc.

Gygax himself didn't lean into it as hard, but there were plenty of fairly gonzo modules that did include aspects of future and/or alien technology.

Well, available since a lot of time on Android: https://github.com/Genymobile/scrcpy

And it works perfectly. Pair it with kdeconnect and you have even a better experience of integration between your phone and your PC than with Apple. Only thing that is missing is the ability to take calls from the PC, that to be fair, it's not something that useful to me (if I want to make phone calls from the PC I use my landline number with VOIP).

Again, I see no innovation in the Apple ecosystem, after trying it out I'm happy to have returned to Linux+Android, overall a better experience. I don't miss Apple at all, it was like being in a cage...

Yeah I can imagine that there is a bit of that going on. I imagine that there's also a bit of pent-up resentment from the pre-pandemic and pandemic era where tech workers were job hopping every couple months and demanding full remote. Now that the tables have turned, mgmt likely feels pretty emboldened.
Yes, it is too much. I've spent 20 years deleting by pressing one button. Why require two?
Not in the very slightest? Didn't most early american colonies die of starvation and disease?

I feel you completely discounted this: "Our ancestors would have been lean and would not have typically expended energy for just pure leisure." And instead responded to only the following simplification as if it were an absolute point: "In other words, everyone was busy trying to not starve"

Though, let us both stop nitpicking. It is hard to convey the full nuance, particularly when tapping this out on a phone.

In fairness, I did conflate a few concepts and did not convey some nuance. Though my point that humans are not adapted for our current lifestyle remains.

(1) serfs were not voluntarily lifting weights for leisure.

(2) humans were not historically jacked. They were lean. They looked like thru-hikers, or marathon runners. It is the reason why having fat was a beauty standard. Onky the rich could have that many excess calories and not be M tan from working. The body does not choose to put on unnecessary levels of muscle without training and constant nutrition

I did not mean to convey as was read into my statements that humans did zero leisure. It is an absurd claim. Though, running a marathon for the hell of it is likely well out of the cards for most people, particularly in a winter climate. To which my point, the need to go for intentional walks was less than what it is today. Not zero, but less.

As for the conflation, the lack of nutrition was particularly salient in WWII when most Americans were not getting enough calories.

"LeBlanc argues that the U.S. military’s interest in nutrition research exploded in the 1940s, after it began seeking healthy recruits to deploy in World War II and found a male population physically weakened by years of malnutrition during the Great Depression." [1]

Celebrating during a harvest makes sense. A lot of that food is liable to go bad. It is a time of plenty,in contrast to long winters before canning was invented.

My point is the need for recreational leisure amongst adults was less than compared to present day in "post industrial countries" for two reasons: (1) substance living intrinsically involves physical activity. (2) food scarcity. Yeah, it is easy to strawman my argument as if there was no excess expenditure of energy. I'll re-iterate my point is that subsistance living is not conducive to a lot of excess calorie expenditure. Second to that, the number of people who were at a subsistence level was historically far higher. Third, a lifestyle where time is measured more in months and seasons, where one needs to do "everything" manually - is fundamentally different then the lifestyles of today (where with $100, today you can eat as well as did the King of France)

What else have you done? Tech has been a godsend for me. When I started I had to wear a shirt and tie every day, and now there are a lot of WFH options out there.
Yeah, he's consistently frustrating on this issue. It seems he actively wants Apple to control general-purpose computing and will make whatever characterization necessary for that to sound reasonable. I really wish we had portable general-purpose pocket computers, but there isn't really an option on the market for that, and it's not a hardware issue.
It's nice that that worked for you. Please clarify how "ozempic encourages poor nutrition" (it doesn't), and how it "entrenches body dysmorphia" (it doesn't).

Specifically, doctors prescribing GLP-1 meds counsel you on diet and exercise because it is necessary for the GLP-1 meds to be most effective, and "working out and eating responsibly" is not new advice to people who have been obese for a long time. Also, the moral judgment of "just need to work harder" is trash, and untrue. I guarantee you people who have been obese a long time have not spent their entire lives just "being okay with it." They walk into a doctor's office crying, not knowing what to do, at the end of their rope, or they have simply completely given up ever trying again because it has never worked.

Sometimes, it is laziness. It would be absurd for me to argue that is never true. But that is a tiny minority, and I would bet money on that.

You know what creates far more longevity? Not being obese, and working out and eating responsibly. Sometimes, in order to achieve that, some people need help; and we finally have some help in the form of these GLP-1 medications.

I'm not sure why anyone would be against people finally getting healthy.
I highly recommend anyone especially early in their careers go into a real office where you'll see your immediate co-workers on a daily basis. That said, I don't want to go in :)
Yes, but System 7 wasn't installed on your computer overnight without you realising it.
According to comments in this post, it appears that Oracle is defending the use of the name "JavaScript" in some cases. However, the internet is filled with various resources that use "JavaScript" in their names. I'm curious if there are any confirmed instances of Oracle suing someone for using this name, or if these are just false rumors and Oracle is merely reserving the right to do so in the future.
i think rough numbers would help assessing the pros and cons
It's simple, at certain point at certain growth in a company, the "yes man" virus is going to infect the whole corporation. Why? Because there's one spot where the virus is going to spread, and around this spot only "yes men" will get promoted and they will only hire, reward and promote other "yes men".

It starts from a person or persons who don't know what they are doing, but are really good at selling themselves. So their only goal is to show themselves in a good light to leadership and fool them by surrounding themselves with people who will agree with everything they do.
I'm not so sure, other than Nike, Intel, a small Google office and a couple of other satellite offices I've seen, I don't feel the tech scene here is very big. Soo many companies cratered over the pandemic and it didn't really recover, and now Portland Metro has real visibility and desirability issues, and Oregon itself as a state hasn't exactly made it easier to get business up and going here.

I'm actually worried, as a resident of the Portland metro, about this, because I'm getting closer and closer to the point where my salary is large enough that fewer and fewer businesses can employ me just at my current compensation let alone raises etc.

I'm actually worried I have a large set of golden handcuffs on my hands here

This is my #1 pet peeve about the RTO hysteria. I don't understand in which universe the managers who decide these RTO policies live, but in the universe I live in there's ALWAYS at least one person in another location requiring us to Zoom even if everyone else spent an hour getting into the office.
