It's interesting because the new studio display has 4 usb-c ports and 2 support thunderbolt, but they do indicate which ports are thunderbolt above the port.

Now I call it with --required which only applies critical and security updates. Then I call it again with --safari-only, and one more time with --list to see what remaining updates are available. Frustrating (but sadly not surprising) there isn't a way to apply all available updates excluding major OS updates.

I'm sure Safari sucks to support for web developers and is missing a lot of cool apis, but I'm willing to take those tradeoffs for the increased privacy I get as a result.

That being said, I do think Apple should allow third party browser engines.

It seems obvious that if Tanenbaum, or any open source project used a GP license in lieu of a permissive legally familiar license like MIT or BSD, the likelihood of the project being used in a commercial product would reduce to nearly zero. Intel would have used a different OS for their management engine.

I'm glad the GPL exists and believe the world is a better place because of it, but it feels like more and more it's salad days are in the past and the world has moved on.

The ops experience reminds me of the story of the maintainer of homebrew that despite widely being used at google was not able to be hired for a job there. It's disappointing and feels unjust, and I wish it was different.

I read through two thirds of it during Covid. I think it’s has an unfair reputation of being a challenging read; yes you’ll encounter new vocabulary, but the narrative itself is really interesting and clear.

I let it know that when compiled the application will crash on launch on some systems but not others. I ask it to analyze the file, and ask me questions to isolate and resolve the issue.

So far only Gemini 2.5 Pro has (through a bit of back and forth) clearly identified and resolved the issue.

As an example the tape spindles, among other changes, are different: https://chatgpt.com/share/67f53965-9480-800a-a166-a6c1faa87c...

It tries, but there are some things it can't perfectly preserve like the last access time. Instances where it can't duplicate certain types of extended attributes or ownership permissions it will not perform the operation.

Reminds me of the story of the Navy ship and lighthouse: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lighthouse_and_naval_vessel_ur...

But it doesn’t come with a block list, so you have to construct your own.

* I saw the ability to start and stop time to represent creative vision. At the beginning of the movie, Catalina is in his office, then nervously goes out to the edge of the building and steps off then commands time to stop. I think this was him testing if he still had the ability to be creative because he didn't know if he could or not. Julia "sees" his creative ability during the building demolition, and demponstrates her understanding to Catalina, which is why he reveals his model to her, and with her eyes closed she can "see" how he actually envisions it. He tries to stop time in jail and finds he no longer can, after encouragement from Julia together they can start and stop time. I see this as either Julia becoming his muse, or that they are now creating collaboratively.

* I think this also explains the scenes of them on the clock, which is supposed to be a figurative location. I'm pretty sure we only ever see Julia and Catalina there. It's because only they can enter this metaphorical creative space together.

A few questions I have are: why do they need a lock of Catalinas wifes hair to heal his eye? Why as prosecuting Catalina did Mayer Ciscero hide Catalinas wifes corpse. Would be curious to hear others thoughts.
