This was an upstream change in OpenSSH, not an arbitrary change by Apple.

Also, scp was in fact broken, and they fixed it by changing it to use the SFTP protocol under the hood.

Totally anecdotal, but I have found ripgrep orders of magnitude faster than grep when searching a large corpus of data (in my case, many multi-hundred megabyte to gigabyte XML files). As in, ripgrep completed the search in seconds, grep took multiple minutes. I'm sure I could have done some research to optimise/parallelise grep, but ripgrep worked doing the "dumb" search.

The 8 Plus was the first to have extra camera capabilities on the Plus/Max model.

For many years the max models did have better cameras, but for the 13 and 14 both pro models have identical cameras.

So the opponents' position is something like this?

Supreme Court: rules marriage equality is constitutional

Bigots: damned activist judges shouldn't legislate from the bench

Congress: legislates marriage equality

Bigots: damned activist legislature shouldn't legislate its concurrence with the courts!

Here's a fun, short alt-history novel set in a world where that plan was actually implemented:

If you want to host it on a service that hosts Docker images, such as fly.io or AWS Fargate.

Treating a symptom rather than the disease always works so well.

A lack of fulfilment in their lives, which leads them to compensating with displays of conspicuous consumption.

His followers called him Mahasamatman and said he was a god. He preferred to drop the Maha- and the -atman, however, and called himself Sam. He never claimed to be a god. But then, he never claimed not to be a god. Circumstances being what they were, neither admission could be of any benefit. Silence, though, could.

I think you would have less risk if you were selling life insurance policies to Soviet soldiers in Stalingrad in 1942.

The cholesterol change is easily explained - meat and dairy are two of the main sources of LDLs (“bad” cholesterol) in the western diet.

The diabetes one is harder to explain/link, as there are too many variables. One possibility is that the twin that went vegan ate fewer sugary snacks due to the fact that most such things are not vegan.

I have a friend who says using the word “octopi” displays ignorance of three languages at once - English, Latin, and (ancient) Greek.

…and nothing of value was lost.

As long as you ignore the antisemitism…

No, it is not. Apple does encourage setting up/associating an Apple ID account, it is not a requirement.

The best example of this is Torpenhow Hill in Cumbria, England. Torr, penn, and howe all mean “hill” in different languages.

Interesting...though they are talking about replacing the MPD with something ("a new transformative model") at least, not leaving the lot empty, to continue the metaphor.

If an apartment block were riddled with termites, asbestos, and concrete cancer, the people saying that it should be demolished aren't proposing that the residents revert to sleeping under the stars in the empty lot left behind.

Likewise, the people proposing that the MPD be abolished aren't saying that Minneapolis should go without a police force, just that they need a whole new one, without the legacy of the old one.

Being previously unfamiliar both with the black phosphorus allotrope, and with newatlas.com, I clicked on the link wondering if this would be the new “red mercury”. I was pleasantly surprised that it is much more interesting (and scientifically valid) than that.

And this is the equivalent for Ruby:

Diatoms are a type of phytoplankton (one of the most common).

FYI, Fastmail has just launched Gmail-alike tagging in public beta.

It is trying to troubleshoot a machine learning algorithm. Google is quite proud of the fact that most of their support is handled by machines.

My point exactly.

Why would you use an ecommerce platform instead of a regular SQL database?

FYI, dietician > nutritionist. Dietician is a protected term, like doctor, or dentist. Nutritionist is not. Any joker can call themselves a nutritionist.

Going to see a nutritionist rather than a dietician is like going to see a toothiologist rather than a dentist.

So it is rather an insult to your sister to say that she is "not even a nutritionist".

Yes, play by post most certainly is still a thing. Most RPG forums (e.g. https://forum.rpg.net/) have a play by post subforum, and https://rpol.net/ is a forum dedicated to play by post.

Also "I don't know what I'm talking about".
