There's a fair bit of variance in the number of bills per congress, but not really in a way that correlates to the usage of the filibuster. Check out https://www.govtrack.us/congress/bills/statistics

It's the opposite. Reconciliation lets you pass bills that only change spending/revenues, and isn't allowed to change policies which are revenue-neutral. You might be thinking of how it's not allowed to create a defici

He seems to be the glue that's holding together the current coalition. The fascist project set is absolutely there, but they've never really won over the MAGA crowd who flocked to Trump's rallies. It's certainly possible

Obsidian put out a release fixing this today (1.9.14), but I think you have to do a full download-a-new-installer rather than just letting their auto-update do it.

The thing called Launchpad was removed, but its shortcuts still exist and take you into Spotlight's (new) applications panel. This gives you the searchable-list-of-apps that Launchpad offered, though it doesn't let you rearrange t

I think we're at an impasse on the issue of your argument, and your characterization of my interpretation of it. I disagree, but I don't think we're going to reach an agreement here. I will drop it, and we can just argue abou

I like how it looks. It's nice to have a fairly-minor shake-up in the aesthetics every now and then, and it makes everything feel a bit fresh and new. And I do sincerely find it fairly minor -- things got a bit rounder and glossier,

I'm willing to rephrase it down to "the argument being that a change made on iOS later coming to macOS supports the idea that the platforms are merging", though that feels like a distinction without a difference to me. > A

If you want to talk about steelmanning arguments, have you considered that I might also be unconvinced by prior examples? And thus dismissed those off-hand references as largely irrelevant to the main content of your post? Jeff, they'r

The criticism here is a bit overblown. What happened is: on recent iOS versions, when you tap a video in Safari to show the controls it slightly dims the video until the controls hide. In the latest macOS release, macOS Safari has adopted t

Almost worse is AI bug reports. I've gotten a few of them on GitHub projects, where someone clearly pasted an error message into ChatGPT and asked it to write a bug report... and they're incoherent .

It's a lot easier to affect the behavior of a company that's actively trying to get your business, versus one that has already written you off.

I'm curious what their sample set for this survey was, because "90% of software developers use AI, at a median of 2 hours a day" is more than I'd have expected. (But maybe I'm out of touch!)

I don't see how this is related, because "will cause substantial public harm" doesn't appear to apply in any way.

The iPhone Air, however, does not. (Which is technically in line with you saying “17 series”, since there’s no number in the Air’s name. But your comment makes no sense unless you thought the Air was included in that, and so…) See: https:&

The changes to Spotlight are fairly power-user focused. There's a lot of enhancements to make it quicker to set up shortcuts within it, and they've added a clipboard manager feature to it. This summary looks acceptable: https:&#x

It's not software zoom -- it's them doing binned pixels at 4x and then unbinning them and cropping down at 8x. Same thing they were doing on previous models for the 2x zoom, and now unlocked on the telephoto lens because of the re
