Nothing terribly major here, it sounds like. Making login items visible is a long-overdue change... but none of these are going to have any particular impact on average users or average apps. On a pettier note, can we get a better source th

Yeah, I'd suspect that if this lawsuit succeeds it's going to be on the grounds that Tesla's marketing gave users the impression that their self-driving tech was better than it really is, contributing to negligent driving eve

Magician was the start of a reasonably entertaining sword and sorcery series. The RPG campaign roots are really visible once you pay attention, but (as far as I can remember) in a better way than, say, Dragonlance managed. I always enjoyed

Thus the mention of extradition treaties, which mean (to a loose approximation) that other countries agree to let some US rules get enforced on people in their borders. In Terraform's case, it looks like they're in Singapore. Whic

Yes, the fairly obvious limit of going somewhere the US doesn't have an extradition treaty with. In Snowden's case: Russia. Which I personally wouldn't be thrilled to do, but the options are limited. Here's the countri

Eh, I read the book as presenting a maximalist vision: in a perfect world, all error messages would instead be help that lets you resolve your issue. Since it says to hide error messages and instead provide help, anyone who hides error mess

Yeah, the only real changes in the initial Resurrection release were the obvious graphical improvements, and some fairly minor quality-of-life improvements to the stash system. That said, they have started to make actual gameplay changes

It's a nice idea, but it doesn't actually work very well. The "contributions" section in particular is just wildly inaccurate -- it shows a lot of repos for me as "1 commit(s)" when I really have hundreds. Any

I last ate at an IKEA about a week ago. It was as-expected, on regular porcelain plates with metal utensils. The mashed potatoes were hot, but I didn't have their normal veggie mix or mac-n-cheese -- I always get the "veggie medal

Abrams was an interesting (read: poor) choice for the final film, because he's famous for setting up compelling plots and not sticking the landing. See: Lost. His whole "mystery box" thing is great at pulling in viewers, bu

I do agree with you that Disney mismanaged the whole trilogy, and the fault lies with them. They very clearly went into it without any sort of plan or even a particular vision, deferring completely to whatever each director wanted to do. Wi

I'm pretty sure that Darth Jar Jar is only a fan theory, without any commentary from Lucas confirming it. (We can speculate, but I dislike saying it so confidently.)

Actually, I might be thinking of the ~/Library/Messages/Archive folder, which used to contain a readable backup of your messages and which stops updating with the iCloud sync.

It sounds like your last statistic means that U.S. nurses need to do more work than their counterparts in other countries (to make up for a lack of doctors), which suggests that pay and staffing might well be the problem...

Yeah, I think it's perfectly reasonable for someone to look at it and go "$180 for that ? It's not worth it for me". It's very specifically-targeted. It does look cute, though, and if their SDK takes off I could se

It's worth noting that if you have the "Messages in iCloud" feature turned on, the local sqlite database can't be relied on any more. Or, rather, you become able to access messages in the client that aren't actually
