This is the correct answer. For extra credit: if you have a weekly or monthly team meeting, include an agenda item for the people that were on call so they can debrief the team on what alerts fired and what the resolutions were. As a team,

I'm old too. I don't think we're old _enough_. According to my grandparents, back in the late 1940s through early 60s, I guess it wasn't rare for people to work at a _single_ company _for the entirety of their career_, f

As computers generally get faster, more expensive encoding can be considered. I'm using different tooling on an AMD 3900x for these conversions, so take these numbers with a grain of salt. $ gm identify test.tiff test.tiff TI

You got that dialog only if you were (un)lucky. System 6, 7, and 8 could crash in spectacularly visual ways, as some off-by-one memory access wrote into the VRAM. I remember it was a point of pride that macs crashed in ways that Windows BSO

C'mon. Non-Apple devices aren't _even remotely_ a priority for them. Just look how bad Apple Music is on Android and web.

This feels like a softball directly lobbed to me! I'm writing PhotoStructure, specifically to deal with my last 20+ years of photos, and the fact that I haven't stayed on top of keeping them all organized. The disarray was made (m

This is what I've found as well. Although Google Takeout is strictly better than pulling your files down via their API, even the metadata in takeouts can be mucked with. I'd strongly recommend only using Google Photos as what it i

FWIW, Macintosh System 6 was just black and white (and only 640x480px), so 3D wasn't really tenable. System 7 and 8 had support for color, and was as 3D as it could muster, like highlight and shadow treatment on buttons and other widge

Howdy: author of PhotoStructure here. This is the first I've seen of their storage box offering: it seems like this is just a storage offering, right? Like, it can't run arbitrary software, right?
