The previous capabilities of Quicktime, Airport Utility, Disk Utility, and Pages did not come back. The "new" Quicktime was introduced 8 years ago. The pattern we've seen is Apple decides to re-write a utility because reaso

It's a good list with a lot of sense. My one minor nit is that they don't stock soda because it's not healthy. Let people be themselves and make their own decisions: you should provide something to drink and it should be what

Mono Lake and Bodie in California are really quite good. Plan to go during a new moon. And they're reasonably close to SF.

India is on the list. That tells you a lot about the selection criteria: governmental efficiency is simply not a criteria. Nor is passenger wealth a criteria. My guess is that these routes are chosen based on population of the end points, d

The link is pretty bizarre to me. It can only occur if an enormous region of an ocean is tremendously heated. Short of a Chicxulub-style event in which down falling ejecta massively heats a large region, I don't see how you get there.

Question: Does this undermine California's safety standards for self-driving cars? I was very pleased with how quickly California slapped down Uber. Will California still be able to do that? For those who don't remember: Uber was

Let me give a clear example of why repealing Prop 13 would be a bad idea: my Mom. My Mom has a fixed income and owns her home. Plenty of savings for retirement like a responsible person. My Dad retired in 1986. This is in Fremont, Californi

Please get checked out by a doctor. Anytime you have really weird symptoms, it's best to be sure it isn't something serious. Short answer: No, I've never had anything like that. After concentrating for an extended period, I&#

You're kinda missing the point. We've had 50 years of very rich people challenging the law and losing. Many of them applied to the USSC. The USSC is not interested because this is basic mundane permit-condition stuff. The only tim

For anyone new to this issue: keep in mind that when Khosla bought the property, California Law and prior Caselaw were crystal clear that there is absolutely no legal way for Khosla to close or reduce pre-existing beach access. This is not

They have no water rights sufficient to create a farm in the middle of the desert. They bought a town which only draws enough water for personal use and some small gardens. It's also on the way to Las Vegas, but requires you to detour

I have a friend who cleans up around the Bay. It's fairly common for him to find a safe that's been opened and then discarded as trash. (You'd be surprised at what floats). So yeah, if your safe isn't bolted down, a burg

I feel so bad for the Scratch language, which converted to Flash at exactly the wrong time.

I'm a Qt programmer. It's very very good because it attempts to look as much as possible like a native app rather than forcing a "cross-platform look and feel" like Google has been doing lately. But it still feels wrong

Yep. Use of AVX2 and so forth a pretty standard thing to do to get decent performance for video/image encoding and decoding. Worth noting: Skylake with Integrate Graphics includes an x265 encoder and decoder. If that can't be adap

HEIF already exists as a standard [1] with comparable compression [2]. What does Pik hope to do better? (And please don't say "patent free" unless you are certain Pik will not infringe on those same patents) [1] https:/

I really miss Pascal; it was a great and safe language for beginners. As it was extended with Objects and Modules, it was great for development. But there are good reasons it was surpassed by C. In early Pascal, you got a pointer by allocat

Before we instituted the Glacier backup, we discussed whether or not a few days or weeks time would be "good enough" for our needs. We decided it was. So I totally agree that before picking a backup system, one needs to evaluate

That's why we wiped any system which showed sign of infection. Keep in mind this was ransomware so... probably... it is reasonable to assume the infection will not be subtle.

We had that happen at a company I worked for. Someone blindly opened an "invoice". We were back to work within a day. For each computer, a full malware scan and then back online. Dumped the one hard drive which was infected. The N

Housing and Jobs need to be in balance. If there is "not enough housing" what you are really saying is "cities permitted more business capacity than housing capacity." Those two markets really need to be tied to each oth

I was curious about the canyon after looking at geo maps a couple of years ago. When I looked at Wikipedia at that time, it described the canyon as an ancient feature created by a long-ago river. Is this stuff undergoing a revolution in und

That's incorrect! Routine use of a path over your property over a large amount of time is a classic case where a public easement is created without the owner's consent. See "Prescriptive Easements"[1]. You absolutely wil

Sorry, but you are wrong. Khosla could have maintained the property in the old state where he charged admission and made no changes to the property. He was warned about this when he bought the property. California law is extremely clear abo
