This is why I’m always wait as long as possible to update major versions, seems like there is fuckups big and small in every single major macOS update.

I looked at it for company chat and data, but those weird limits in functionality making in unusable was just too much, so them doing this too is not really surprising. Are they low on money?

What a terrible name and the only reason I know it’s not an aprils fool is because it’s November.

How will this not be used by trump/republicans?

Nope. I like the idea, but that is just still way too bulky, and just the fact that this is meta makes me want to steer clear.

This reminds me of the cars being produced in Russia at the moment…

I think he means, what causes apple to trigger those notifications. I don’t remember ever seeing that prompt, at least not without myself doing some action to trigger it.

Can you explain? Having a tool to detect changes and create a migration doesn’t sound bad? In a nutshell thats how django migrations work as well, which works really well.

This is one of two reasons why I decided to not try anything, ever.

1. What if it’s the most amazing thing ever, like ADHD medication, what if you get insanely productive, and you then have to go back to being mediocre?

2. What if it triggers something bad. If I get 10% worse at focusing on a solving a problem?

Nope

Less guns, less shootings, less gunshot deaths, it is that simple.

But how to get to less guns in a country like the US, that’s the real puzzle.

I wish they would make a paperwhite with the long next page buttons on each side of the screen.

My guess is that if you have enough traffic, they will probably bend the requirements.

Uh i have a little experience with this. I was an intern for a few months as part of my computer science degree, and sitting at a desk very not suites for office work, caused my right hand to start hurtig and having issues with tingeling like you describe. What ultimately worked for me was minimizing mouse usage by stopping pc gaming, switched to console gaming instead and stretching primarily my neck and shoulders, that really worked wonders. I was tested if my arms/hands had any permanent nerve damage, and fortunately I had not. Let me know if you have any questions.

To be fair, it’s quite often more expensive to self-host software than to use the sass/pass equivalent.

Yes, but if a company does this, they are essentially killing themselves. They have presumably spent a lot of time creating a company, gain customers etc, whereas a single(?) maybe anonymous open source developer does not have that much to lose.

Yeah, not surprisingly it’s not really that simple.. Some TVs just aren’t made for low latency, “game mode” enabled or not.

Exactly, and news headlines praise them for not having the same second surge of cases as denmark right now. While 5800 people dies versus 650 in Denmark.

Why? It’s likely the reason why we have seen terrorist attacks where people drive into crowds of people. Cars and trucks is everywhere, its easily accessible. I would argue that the other way around is the dangerous assumption, that people will NOT use the easiest accessible means to hurt other people.

Clicking any of the blog posts takes me to the installation guide.

I cant seem to find any feature overview? Id like to see screenshots and a nice overview of the features when browsing a project site like this
