So, the American flight didn't follow directions or the lights. If that turns out to be the case, wow.

Hmm. I really don't think you have interacted with many "average" users. Once I get out of my engineering circle, the number of people who would be comfortable interacting with the command line is extremely small. To the majority of modern computer users, even the concept of a terminal and typing commands is completely foreign, let alone navigating the file structure via the command line. And oh by the way, on the Mac at least, you also many have to teach them how to give the Terminal app Full Disk Access privileges.

The asthma issue is with gas stoves. It is irrelevant with respect to a proper gas furnace. None of the exhaust from a modern furnace enters the home air supply.

By the way, if you are going to consider environmental costs for gas you should also consider those costs for electric.

We have quite a few power outages, so the best thing about gas furnace backup for me is that I only need a generator large enough to run the furnace fan to get heat in a power outage. Without it, I have to run a heat pump compressor and that is a lot more power than a fan.

No, I think you are misunderstanding the parenthetical claim. They are still benchmarking the actual reimplementation, they are just parenthetically pointing out that the reimplementations are being called from Swift, not Obj-C.

The reimplementation itself is 1.5x to 18x. They are using the parenthetical in precisely the way the style and usage guide suggests, adding the additional information that the new implementation is called from Swift.

Still over an order of magnitude less than the weight of all bacteria.

>Blogs aren't "realtime", so they don't solve any problems that people went to social media for.

Curious, what is your basis for this assertion that "realtime" is the primary reason for social media? I think "realtime" has created this incessant need to watch and feed the machine. That has been an interesting diversion for a while, but I can't see it as healthy long term, IMO. I, and many others I know, check up on friends once or twice a day and then got on with our actual lives. With a less frenetic and more sane model of interaction, "realtime" is way down the list of important attributes.

It does. Under View, select "Show Path Bar."

Charging issues after a couple of years are usually due to lint accumulation in the phone opening. A little careful time with a toothpick will usually get it sorted.

>The reason things like this go on in America and not in any other developed country is that Americans just accept it. "They didn't pay, so they die."

Your argument is based on a false premise. Nobody died. In a life/death situation, the fire fighters will do whatever is necessary to attempt to save lives, but they aren't worried about a structure that a homeowner chose not to protect.

In your country, if someone chooses not to insure a home, will the government rebuild it for free? What's the difference? I'm assuming the non-indigent case where someone can afford to pay the insurance. If someone is indigent they probably don't own a house. If it is government housing, then it of course would be rebuilt by the government.

There are plenty of problems in the US, but you have greatly exaggerated this particular issue.

>So? OP claimed nobody was willing to do private communication

You are arguing against an obviously silly false premise. I said "large numbers of people" were unwilling to use FB for private communication.

>I think Portal is a perfect example of how slow to adapt the company has become. It's a fantastic video conferencing device, certainly the best at its price point. We happened to enter the pandemic with this device already available for sale, but we completely failed to capitalize on it.

Thanks for your insight, but the Portal failure shouldn't be surprising. There are a large number of people who would never want to have a private conversation or meeting using Facebook infrastructure or be forced to create a Facebook account to join a meeting. As far as Zoom support, again, why would anyone trust Facebook infrastructure with private meetings?

Aside from the trust issue, why buy hardware from FB just to have meetings?

I agree that's a nuisance. One of the few problems on that site. On the Mac I use the StopTheMadness extension to kill that click hijacking. McMaster's site works fine now.

Not useful without the cell voltage. Need both to figure out the energy storage. Anyone?

Blink is a fork of WebKit.

Were you in the courtroom for the trials? Did you read all the briefs and transcripts and review all the evidence? They were able to prove 4 counts against her and 12 against him. What is provable and which counts relate to what sentences isn't necessarily intuitive. Why jump to the assumption of sexism without all the relevant info? Even if you had the info, do you have the legal qualifications to evaluate it?

I for one choose to trust my peers who spent weeks hearing all of this and poring over the details. Could it be biased? Sure, that's possible, juries aren't perfect. I just don't understand the rush to assume a sexist bias based solely on the aggregate sentence lengths.

That's why you keep a copy of the key somewhere else.

Yes, but "[w]e believe that a service of this importance will benefit from feedback at scale" will just make advertisers unhappy.

To state the obvious, I don't think they are reading the room very well...

>"Their survival is not at stake."

What do you base that on? As others have pointed out, DoorDash is losing money every quarter. These companies have experienced hyper growth in employee count while the economy is good. But they are still losing a lot of money every quarter. When the economy turns, that high burn rate quickly becomes a threat to their continued existence. I think most of these layoffs are essential and may still prove inadequate. DoorDash for instance is selling a non-essential service. When the economy tightens up, people stop spending on things like DoorDash.

False. It can't be left open to Everyone for more than 10 minutes at a time. Frankly, from a security perspective cutting this off after a few minutes is preferable. You can turn it back on for another 10 minutes.

Pure conjecture on my part, but I wouldn't be surprised if China wanted them to block it entirely and Apple negotiated this compromise to try and appease officials while still allowing information sharing.

Your hyperbole is a massive exaggeration. They didn't "bend over backwards" to help China suppress freedom. They maintained as much usability as they could under almost certain direct legal pressure from the host country. If China says turn it off completely, that is what they would have to do if they want to operate in China. Apple must obey local laws.

Would the interests of freedom be served if Apple refused to obey local laws and there were no iPhones sold in China? Everyone running a Huawei phone. Would that advance the cause of freedom? Samsung, Google, everyone has to make these choices if they want to operate in China.

You can directly enable the use of Metal with the drawingGroup() API.

You can also embed a UIViewRepresentable to "manually" embed a metal kit view inside a SwiftUI hierarchy. Basically use SwiftUI to manage most of it, but use metal to handle a bottleneck somewhere. Here is an example:

Assuming it has air left, always let out some air to blow out the gunk before adding air.

There is no reusable rocket available with 8.8 million pounds of thrust. And there certainly wasn't anything available when SLS was started. Falcon Heavy is about half the thrust of SLS. I agree that reusable would be much better, but reusability is a relatively recent innovation by SpaceX. SLS will get there. SpaceX is forcing everyone to up their game. In the meantime, no need to condemn them for not getting there yet during these transition years.

I think you are overusing the term "we."

Sorry, can't agree with that. Don't try to correct one mistake with another mistake. They both deserve the max, no reason to reduce his if hers is improperly reduced.

You may be right about the liquefaction, but there is zero chance the crew forgot to shut the cargo holds properly. They knew they were heading into a storm and everyone on that ship understood their lives depended on securing all the hatches.

They also bought a boat load of PPC Macs for much of the early Xbox dev work.

>The only time 68K code ran faster is when it made heavy use of the Mac APIS that were native.

Yes, and that just confirms the original point. Mac apps often spend a lot of time in the OS apis and therefore the 68K code (the app) often ran faster on PPC than it did on 68K because apps often spend much of their time in OS apis. The earlier post said "so good that for some things the PPC Mac was the fastest 68k mac." That is true.

In my own experience, I found most 68K apps felt as fast or faster. Your app mix might have been different, but many folks found the PPC faster.

The rest of the conversation almost certainly happened in person. These emails were just getting out some initial thoughts. Happens all the time. Also, notice that Tim Cook wasn't in the email conversation.
