For 25+ years I'm not sure I've ever thought of the Mac market as primarily technophiles, so much as a crowd interested in the "pursuit aesthetic" and notably not interested in looking behind the technical curtain. T

When "other places in the world" is mentioned, one need not imagine it refers to the non-applicable places. That seems a wasted effort.

I'm skeptical. Maybe the FBI did use some illegal tool or more likely, a legal tool that they control the backoffice for, but the story I read outlined some pretty common blunders. This makes all the more sense if he was a mono-technic

I completely disagree. You may not get recognition with the people at the front desk, but you absolutely can get recognition from your peers inside a company and (as valuable?) people outside the company. Some of this has to be the result o

If you have talent, show up, and a clean criminal record, you can make it in the US without a problem. There’s more money than talent, meaning if you have talent, there are people ready to give you plenty of money. It’s not hard in and of i

We had thousands of pooled pieces between my set of friends when young and had whole worlds we constructed. Vehicles, ships, spacecraft, cities, fortresses, whole dramas. Can’t do that anymore, but I think programming satisfies similar imag

Unemployment is about where it was in 2017, which continued to drop all the way until 2020. So not as low as it was pre-pandemic, but objectively quite low, yes. Doesn't take away from your point. https://tradingeconomics.co

Image is one of those laws of society that we all wish wasn't true, all believe shouldn't be true, but is intractable and almost certainly derived from evolutionary pressure. "Vestis virum facit", or clothes make the ma

There is a BT cassette adapter, believe it or not. Tried it an old Audi we had that still had a deck in it. It worked but the charging cable couldn’t stay plugged in while cassette was loaded, and if you left it in car in cold temps of cour

Is it really a volume issue or a) an equalization issue; b) a background noise issue; c) both? Some BT buds will let you futz with an equalizer (jabra). It really influences the experience of what you’re listening to, for instance different

Ha I was thinking like “white-hot” but ur probably right.

Yet BT just “works” hitting 80% of expectations, 80% of the time. That’s why the solutions sell.

A downside being that backpacks (outside of hiking context) are so visually associated with schoolchildren that wearing them as a professional is kind of impossible, image-wise. For someone fresh out of college maybe; for thirty+ it starts

I think the formula is .8g per kg of bodyweight, not per pound. That’s a significant difference.

Wait, so about that night shift.. you mean “before noon” isn’t a relative reference to a period of time after waking, it’s an absolute reference to time of day regardless of when sleep takes place? That’s interesting.. irrespective of latit

> "Scientific" publishing is broken and you simply can't rely on it for useful information. Many studies don't even replicate, but they still get published and cited. I may take issue with some of your other statement

I have same reaction to payment plans. I fully understand the business goal of recurring revenue, but several times in last few months I’ve opted for workarounds/alternates rather than paying a subscription for a product where I would

It's doubly hard to maintain boundaries if you actually enjoy the work you do. Too easy to come home and just keep doing it. Not the healthiest though. I think the blurring of work/personal time is a mixed bag. Sure my personal li

I suspect at some level of deliberation in MS, it’s as simple as wanting a predictable and controllable view portal to their content and site resources, rather than worrying about Google or whomever else “accidentally” and temporarily break

Where did they come from, and where did they go? Business analysts that were given no-code tools, thought themselves the new-wave programmers, and then faded back into analyst/architecture roles?

Absolute totalitarianism is probably the only programmatically coherent social philosophy - it puts the "program" into programmatically. That has nothing to do with its appropriateness for the human condition.

COBRA is really spendy. AFAICR, it's allowing you to continue payments on your policy, but you then have to pick up what the employer was paying. In best of cases this usually means a doubling of what you used to realize as a health in

Regarding institutional incentives, it’s like this - company self-reports, is able to consider itself a victim of the person - that they were defrauded just like the Navy. They may or may not be bringing their own action against the former
