Not on Macs it hasn't. On the late 2013 it definitely didn't work. Along with a bunch of other things. Extremely unstable Linux machine. I assume all Mac laptops are the same. Except for the last three years. Can't even insta

I just got a new 16" mbpro a few months ago and now am very glad since I'm not interested in being a beta tester for Apple or dealing with shit not working because of the new arch, which is absolutely inevitable as a developer, ev

Except we already have an effective treatment, dexamethasone. So all those Swedish deaths could have potentially been pushed to now when the mortality rate is lower due to new treatments like dexamethasone. Instead, they were not pushed so

Few places in the world get hot enough to kill you outright inside a house. Most of the north (and south in the southern hemisphere) gets cold enough during winter nights to kill without heat. I guess it's puritan now to not want to di

Never attribute to stupidity that which can be adequately explained by malice is just as, if not more valid in most situations (which makes hanlon's razor that much more idiotic and useless). Both are likely explanations and both are l

In my current company on year seven, I've definitely learned more on this job than the previous seven years where I worked at over a dozen companies. It's not even business specific. It's about how to build software that does

I don't think you can tell the difference. But does it really matter? You work there, you build the best things you can, maybe get a promotion or two, then you move on. Or you just work there, put in four to eight hours a day and move

I'll just lay it at the feet of the people who stole ppe, shut down testing sites, encouraged people to drink bleach, refused to lockdown the nation, didn't implement contract tracing, didn't shut down the borders (only prete

Interesting how the TSA pretends it is police when it isn't. Also interesting the level of stupidity and incompetence shown by every asshole of every organization involved. Perhaps people are starting to see now, thanks to BLM, that la

The people who want to dismiss covid as 'just a flu' are not the kind of people who willingly research and consider details before making up their minds. I have never seen an argument by these people that takes into account the lo

Emigrating does not absolve one of the duty to pay taxes in the US. Renouncing citizenship does, but doing so for tax reasons is already illegal and those that do would be taxed anyway when renouncing.

To revise science and drop ideas not proven to work while adopting ideas proven to work can also be called "changing the goalposts" by people who simply don't understand how science works.

Mailspring is nice but they do require a login and probably scrape data. I use it for work only though so I don't care if they spy.

Your assumptions about treatment not improving have already been proven wrong by dexamethasone: https://www.nature.com/articles/d41586-020-01824-5

A death wish is not necessarily for oneself. Most Americans are wishing death upon others. Statistically, the younger and healthier, the more likely they are to kill someone else rather than themselves. Doesn't make it any less risky o

Dentistry is the last industry I'd watch as a harbinger of the economy. Going to the dentist is truly playing russian roulette with corona. The aerosolization of particles is inevitable as is inhaling them. If there is corona to be aer

The downside is not touched upon, however: losing access to an mfa account because the mfa is lost. This can happen in a multitude of ways. Losing a phone, wiping a phone, changing phone number, losing a hardware access key, losing recovery

Feel free to criticize. All I said is comparing lives saved to businesses destroyed is ridiculous and stupid as a criticism. Even one life saved is greater than all businesses destroyed, but that's just my opinion. You seem to think lo

Please. Crushing competition in the software field hardly compares to saving lives. Some estimates put the number of lives saved at over 100 million. Hell, saving one life would make up for all the business hurts Microsoft caused and more.

This happens so much, I wonder what the effect would be if management actually got honest feedback and listened to it. I think often the engineers implementing things know if they will work or not but their opinions are ignored, if they are

I don't know. The original law is pretty clear. The only reason this is an issue is due to the Supreme Court itself. What is Congress supposed to do? Pass another law that the Supreme Court will then willfully interpret ad its opposite

It's just somebody's opinion. "Probably" is the word that indicates that.

Not all black people, even in America, are African Americans. Which makes the term wrong even for people. This is a whole new level of stupidity, however, on par with say renaming the git master branch.

Obviously the black side will have to start first in chess now. Reparations. We can also swap the black and white keys on all pianos. So many things to do to fight racism. /s

It seems to me that black people are asking to not be killed for no reason, to not be treated like second class citizens, to have equal rights not just in law but it reality. In the meantime, white people respond by changing the master bran

Yes, but not everyone that went was drafted. Obviously, I make an exception for draftees. Poor people got fucked over the most. Still don't deserve a holiday though, let alone two, especially when dodging was an option.

Not to worry. They still have pictures of Hitler and Stalin. Those guys must've been the good guys since their pictures are still on google.

Actually the 2016 to early 2019 mbpros (and maybe airs) had the full size keys. People generally hated then because they are hard to pick out by touch. But you can grab one if you don't mind getting a keyboard that will likely break an

And these are the scumbags we're supposed to honor, thank, and in the future remember fondly? Memorial and veterans' days should only apply to soldiers who fought in wars against their will (drafted) or had a basis in reality. Las
