You don’t know anyone who uses an iPhone to browse the web? Pretty sure that is where that Safari market share comes from.

There are other benefits of self driving cars. For example average utilization of a self driving car would be at least an order of magnitude greater than non-self driving one. Think about how much time a car spends parked and waiting to be

Yes, much better. In the last 8 years I haven’t had an update reset my settings yet. On major OS upgrades it will ask me to opt into telemetry but it defaults to my last selection which is “off”. Apple is far from perfect but I haven’t se

It is a bad manager that can’t just deal directly with those people. They should warn, then PIP, and then fire those people. You don’t need to punish the people that can work remotely because some people have no self control. So, yes I do

There are similar results for other IQ tests as well. You can study and practice to improve your score. Which shows that they aren’t really measuring raw intelligence. But, that doesn’t mean they aren’t measuring fitness for a task at le

Weird, yeah not sure why I had so many issues but it was an adventure to get all rolled back. Booting into recovery mode it had no issues charging or recognizing usb devices. So guessing something borked at the OS level. Just a guess thou

Not IOS but MacOS Sonoma made my 2019 Intel MacBook Pro close to unusable. Constant kernel panics, usb ports not consistently recognizing devices, charging not working when powered on, wouldn’t recognize displays over HDMI. I had to roll b

Yeah Linux desktop environments are a bit of a mess but OP specifically called out MacOS as well. Once you add Rectangle it is a solid DE in my opinion. Also it is Unix/linux compatible so kind of the same beast with good GUI/ha

Just curious what tools are you missing on MacOS or Linux that are found on Windows? I have been on MacOS the last 8 years or so but before that was all Windows and Linux. I prefer MacOS now but curious what I am missing. My colleagues th

Yeah I am having to downgrade to Ventura. There is a nasty external monitor bug where I can’t use HDMI to my TV anymore over a USB-C adapter. Ventura it works just fine though. But, I upgraded to fix a preview bug in Ventura where Previe

It sounds like this is the origin story of Python. Whoever worked with this person made it their life’s mission to enforce proper indentation.

In the US there are lots of long 3-4 lane highway stretches where this is perfectly fine. Also we already see this on mountain ascents. Plenty of times I have seen trucks climbing a pass at 30-45mph in the right lane and cars zipping up i

Thanks, I will double check. I was basing this off of this doc https://sparkmailapp.com/help/general/email-storage-and-back... . Also using the older v2 client and not using teams or send later. EDIT: you are c

I will look into it but from my previous reading it was only storing that for the Teams functionality and if that wasn’t used it wasn’t stored. Thanks though I will double check. If it is storing this I will need to move clients again lol.

Each Sparkmail client connects directly to my Google workspace account and emails are read in app and are not passed through their servers. I authenticate the application with OAuth nothing goes through their backend. Which is also how old

My paid for version of Outlook on MacOS tried to get me to route all my email, Google workspace, through Microsoft’s servers to “improve my experience”. So, yeah Microsoft is dead to me now. I moved to the Sparkmail (v2) client instead. P

If they are on MacOS they may make you their king. I still have PTSD from the last job that I had to use Teams on a Mac.

For me it is the cycle of over hiring and layoffs that make me mad. Executives bear no consequences for their decisions instead the consequences are borne by the lower level employees. What I would like to see is senior and executive manag

I have been traveling internationally continuously for 6 years and haven’t had any of these issues. I use Schwab, Capital One, and Chase for banks and credit cards. I don’t stay any one place longer than 6 months; usually just 3months in

It is more along the lines of when do you have post conditions that make more sense without the calling context. I write mostly small pure functions. In those with proper preconditions it is impossible to have invalid output since the outp

by alemanek 3y ago
In my experience preconditions are invaluable but fine grained post conditions within a function can get unwieldy really fast. I tend to move my post conditions outside to the caller. So, they end up in my calling modules and integration

If the police have a reasonable suspicion then they should have no problem getting a warrant. If they cant clear that bar then maybe they shouldn’t get that information. Rules aren’t just for people you like or approve of.

It really isn’t though. OP has been pretty clear. Need help? Send an email or make an appointment and he will respond with help. How is it your assumption that the team member asking the question can’t possibly be delayed 30-45min for them

Test containers really help with this. Should still have the big system tests that run overnight but a set of integration tests using Test Containers to stand in for the infrastructure dependencies is awesome. My team has a ton of those an

IBM, somewhat unofficially, is behind this recent fork. It might take a bit but if this fork gains traction then I would assume it gets this functionality.

NASA has stated they want to maintain a long term presence on the moon. If we take them at their word then we absolutely do need to be able to bring 100 tons to the surface of the moon. Water, food, air, parts, habitats, ..etc. All of tha

Also being able to bring 100 tonnes to the surface of the moon is a fantastic reason as well. Everyone can bring a set of golf clubs and balls. Heck we can setup a little driving range with the extra mass allowance.

The entire city of Petra was lost to western society (rediscovered in early 1800s) despite it being a part of the Roman Empire at one point and major trading hub for hundreds of years. We lose stuff all the time.
