Read it again. He doesn't claim she was drunk. He says that she herself implies she was drunk when he said certain things he says he did not say. He further states that people that know her know she doesn't drink that much.

On the Mac at least, there is PostgresApp. A double-clickable application that wraps a PostgreSQL server. Installation takes a minute or two without having to use the command line for compilation. https://postgresapp.com

Apple has cared about user privacy a lot longer than 5 or 6 years. I've has Apple equipment for over 20 years and at no time have they sold my info to a third party or forced invasive 3rd party software to be installed on a new machine

It could be that temps are stored and converted from Celsius. 20C = 68F, 21C = 69.8F which gets rounded up to 70F.

Homebrew is a piece of crap. There's no away to install specific versions of software (unless you dig through the git repo and install using a commit hash). It has a scorched earth policy of wiping out dependencies willy nilly. One tim

I find it ironic in a lawsuit over Apple's supposed dominance, that Epic is claiming that executives shot down a plan that as Cue puts it "that iMessage should expand to Android to cement Apple’s hold on messaging apps".

Interesting that it took an essay contest to break the tie. Seattle now has an ordinance that they must rent to the first applicant who qualifies. This is to prevent discrimination against minorities.

This article is bogus. They spend a whole bunch of time benchmarking build sizes, nothing about why they need so much code in an iOS app to begin with. Apple has dropped limits for large app downloads on cellular. They now put up a dialog t

Looks like they finally figured out where to store the rolling ladder (what they used to fetch merchandise from the overhead shelves). This was back when Apple had their store-within-a-store feature at BestBuy. People in online Apple forums

They use explosive bolts that attach the tether to the deck of the rover. They're almost 100% fool proof. Here's a Wikipedia entry, they're called pyrotechnic fasteners and NASA uses a lot of them. https://en.wikip

The more impressive part is that the sky crane shot pictures, video and data and had to download everything to the rover before it was cut loose. As soon as the rover wheels touched ground, the tether was cut and the lander flew away.
