The mystery of how a computer works is what drove me. I was interested in the mass produced microprocessor based systems. Once I found per integrated circuit system it became a combination of logic and hand crafted boards. This is is the ar

Another cultural reference to this idea is the song Heaven by Talking Heads. Nothing ever happens. Annoyed that npc is not defined in the post. Non-playing character.

I still prefer vertically integrated OS's. Documentation and troubleshooting is more difficult when spread across vendors.

The world hardly cared about DOS. QDOS,cp/m or otherwise.

How semantic do you want to get?

The default the GP is probably referencing is the early days all hardware vendors produced their own OS. Apple maintained the status quo as MS changed the status quo. The innovation MS really developed was the software license for OS's

Remember the world had DOS before MS bought it and sold it to IBM.

Totally off topic. I think it's important to point out that this is the first planned CEO transition at Apple. Every other CEO was fired or died.

No where did I say the phone didn’t need a redesigned antenna. Just that as shipped it did function.

He was correct that changing hand positions had a positive effect and a minor imposition. If they had recalled the phones I wouldn't have sent mine back the iPhone 4 was great and I was a satisfied customer. This was a long time ago an

Industrial Designer here and I believe Ive became too influential in areas. I believe a boring and consistent form factor is better than new models every year. This is what killed the USA auto-industry. Personally the iPhone 4 was a great f

I guess the first step is to install the cameras and see what I can figure out from there. I never thought about the perching or vocalizations as an identifier. Thank you for bring this up.

Just my opinion but I believe a self-signed is more secure than Let’s encrypt. When a self-signed cert changes and no one in the org knows why that is alarming. Getting certificate error messages every month and half every numbs the org to

I have a situation with a couple of hundred chimney swifts. I want to set-up cameras to differentiate between individual swifts. Any advice on how to go about this. My current plan is to put multiple cameras at the mouth of the chimney open

They did. Now think they feel a stack on Minis or Studios fills the reduce needs better. The multiple machines one gets software redundancy in addition to everything else.

I watched the forest protected by the Commonwealth’s environmental laws get dynamited and built. I like your optimism but find it misplaced in this case.

FERC is some sort of law that takes control of local ordnances to force local municipalities to accept energy infrastructure. https://ferc.gov/

There was always a population that preferred living on the margins of society. Hobo’s and tramps are different than the mentally ill and they were called hobos and tramps. My grandmother used to trade food for labor of these people as they

I think around 1986 Reagan cut the federal funding to the facilities that would house the mentally ill. This created the homeless situation in the USA. I remember the term homeless as newly formed at that time and remember the population ex

Refund might be the wrong term she handed back what she felt she wasn’t entitled to.

Diskutil has been around for over a decade and slowly getting features that hdiutil was missing. Things change but this is hardly some sort of sudden rug pull by Apple.
