Whether that control you see visually is actually accessible to a blind user is a different matter entirely. Further, it maxes out at 2x, but a blind person would typically screen read at the equivalent of 3-6x.

It has been affirmed that the risks of the vaccine are less than the risks of the virus. Still, we shouldn’t shout “the vaccines are safe” so loudly that we can’t document and discuss real side effects and relative risks between competing solutions.

We’ve ultimately reached the correct outcome here, removing an inferior product from the market.

I enjoy Christmas cards and personal letters as much as anyone, but with electronic payments and telecommunications taking more of the volume, it is increasingly becoming an advertising service. If it is operating unprofitably, we are paying a form of subscription fee to receive those ads.

Apple resolved the issue after 48 hours of performance disruptions. Though I further noted one five minute disruption on 4/3 at 6pm ET. They still haven’t responded to our initial ticket.

We’ve worked around this by implementing Pirate Weather as an emergency fallback (it was an easy option since they are fully compatible with DarkSky’s API). But Pirate’s baseline performance is worse, and they don’t have a plan that supports more than 250k requests/month.

We may have to eventually switch to a different provider.

The API change was mostly straightforward, but the system reliability has been rough so far - yesterday afternoon and this morning, the API is returning high numbers of 502/503/504 errors, and on a large portion of the successful requests we’re seeing latency in the tens of seconds. Apple’s status page[1] indicated an “Available” status for most of this period; it took them over 12 hours to declare an issue that they dated as starting 7:47pm yesterday. Their official support channel has been mostly unresponsive.

How has the experience with the WeatherKit transition been for others? Does anyone have information about the situation and what level of reliability and support we should expect going forward?

See pages 30-33:

> during the Trump presidency, with 81.0% of district court nominees confirmed by roll call vote

> During the Trump presidency, in contrast to the two immediately preceding presidencies, only 15 (10.6%) of 141 district court nominees confirmed by roll call vote received zero nay votes at the time of confirmation. A plurality of nominees (36, or 25.5%, of 141) received more than 40 nay votes when confirmed by the Senate, while another 20 nominees, or 14.2%, received 31 to 40 nay votes at the time of confirmation.

You know officials are doing something right when they can secure broad support like that.

Such language must be carefully written. What is the definition of “construction” and “operation” in a legal context? What is a “predictive software generation system”? That’s a very specific use case, you sure you covered everything you want to prohibit?

You’ve inserted your clause in such a way that this dependency cannot be used in any way to build anything similar to a “predictive software generation system”, even with attribution, as it would fail clause 3.

You have to consider that novel licenses make it difficult for any party that respects licenses to use your code. It is difficult to make one-off exceptions, especially when the text is not legally sound. So adoption of your project will be harmed.

So if you are serious about this license, you need a lawyer.

> Only an application that handles video should be using those controls, and as far as I know, pulseaudio is not a such application. Or are it trying to do world domination? So, on a first glance, this doesn't sound like a regression, but, instead, it looks tha pulseaudio/tumbleweed has some serious bugs and/or regressions.

Style and culture are certainly open for debate (I wouldn’t be as harsh as Linus), but correcting a maintainer who was behaving this way towards a large number of affected users was warranted. The kernel broke the API contract, a user reported it, and Mauro blamed the user for it.
