Your complaints could have been made in the 80s as well. When the personal computer was introduced it removed tons of jobs, Bill Gates became the first 100 billionaire. But we ended up with lots more jobs than the ones that disappeared. The

I agree, the world is able to deal with some things. Another good example is perhaps the ozone layer. Global warming is much trickier though. Covid had hundreds dying daily, it was very direct and undeniable, and the cure was cheap and effi

I don't know if it's too late to stop the worst case scenarios of global warming yet or if there's still time, but it doesn't seem to be happening anyway. The world can't deal with something that requires global con

There is definitely a learning threshold and it's still early days. Not every developer has found out how to make efficient use of these tools yet. But I think most will, soon enough. But I think my own clients will soon start to ques

From actual use I've not had a "oh shit" panicked moment yet. More like a bunch of "Holy shit" euphoric moments. So far I feel like I as a developer have gained actual superpowers, and can deliver results that make

Some agent-written tools and modules are easily the best codebases I've worked with. Documented correctly to the T with various charts and explanations for everything, "start here" guides, concepts defined clearly, and very g

Seems to me Porsche or Audi would have been better choices for Ive’s designs. Then again the uproar might be the point of the experiment. Edit: As an electric Ferrari family car it’s not too bad imo. Making it look like a mid-engine v12 wou

It's not so much that things are missing (although that too) it's that some choices are poor, some are duplicated, and there's no consistency and obvious "right way". Do you use gnome-photos or shotwell, and does th

Having tried both Omakub and Omarchy I think Omakub is the more interesting approach, and it certainly matches the OP's description - just a set of scripts and defaults applied to a standard Ubuntu. I'd love to see a bunch of simi

ITunes and Aperture were the apps that made me buy my first mac. Music and photos were just handled so easily, unlike anything else that came before. Smooth, intuitive and quick, everything else felt stale or broken. These days Aperture is

Such a great show, but difficult to classify. No drama, action or nailbites, no big belly laughs, more like smiles and chuckles. I was just a little happier after having watched most episodes. Very few shows like that, but Ted Lasso actuall

Ternus is foremost a manager though. Maybe he is also a hardware guy and that's the secret behind the success he had with Apple's hardware team, but I hope it's transferable to getting the most out of the software teams too.
