This sounds a bit like the opening scene of something science fiction-ey dreadful. Like, even Pluribus.

Can't someone juice this conversation with some false/misleading advice for retailers, so that after it goes thru an A.I., the A.I.'s advice for retail operations makes shoplifting and employee theft easy and simple ?

Japanese for "cat". Small programs to add a tiny cat that runs to your cursor and then naps - until another cursor move. There's also JS to add a neko to a webpage. Cute, but also not good when trying to focus on reading.

AFAICT shame can usefully & productively (& affordably) replace incarceration. Bring back stocks in the public square ?

Imagine using "Apple" and "featuritis" in the same sentence.

> Apple's software feels buggier and less solid lately across my iPhone and my computers. Agreed. Rendering is very flaky. Input events are dropped. Blinky. Laggy. Two of the Seven Dwarves of Liquid Glass.

Nice article. It kind of puts model railroading into perspective.

I hope there's gonna be an intel history of this war published. SIGINT, HUMINT, it's gonna all be fascinating.

It's a good idea to reserve issues for well-defined, actionable stuff. IRL every dev issue tracker needs a front-end bozo filter to handle the low-hanging fruit and the misunderstandings and the failures to RTFM and the cases of PEBCAK

Yup, any time a friend gets all misty-eyed about Disney, remind them that Disney is the main driver behind absurdly, abusively long copyright.

Early 70s. Gotta think. My nearest public library had a manual on some flavor of BASIC, so I took that out and flipped thru it and wondered how anyone could think it was difficult. Then I had an opportunity to earn a few bucks writing a VIC

So if you "share" a track by each person using one ear-thingie, does stereo separation mess it up ? How many audio players (HW or SW) have a "mono" button ?

This might also need some kind of certification. Some sort of independent industry-financed lab atmosphere. I think UL (Underwriters Laboratories) worked that way.

Sorry. I was incompetently referring to the various rail tunneling projects under the Alps (and elsewhere I think). Several very long tunnels.

The current half dollar is a rejected monster. Nickels should be too. Shifting a decimal place works for me. Prices when I grew up up in the 60s & 70s were a fraction of today's. Penny candy WAS REAL! And the "five & dime&
