It's just the Windows / Mac thing all over again. The parallels are striking.

Right. But Chrome allows you to do that if the administrator has enabled it. To handle that securely, though, would likely require a specifically restricted daemon or setuid process that is well beyond most normal update use cases. And that

But can you put an application in /Applications (requires administrator privileges), then have a non-administrator user run the app and complete an update?
875.
by moduspol 7y ago
I think Chrome supports allowing an administrator to enable updates by all users, including those who are not administrators. I've used Sparkle before (as a dev) and it's great, but I'm not sure it does that.

I agree, although Fox News is only the top US cable TV news channel, as far as I know. Now consider all late night shows, nearly all newspapers, most big news blogs, and the other cable (and broadcast) TV news channels. But regardless, ther

Yep. And perhaps the mainstream media (who is no fan of that leader) might also have some impact in the acceptance of ideas that would have been rejected as unreasonable ten or twenty years ago.

And (perhaps more importantly) actually give the end user a reasonable estimation of what's going on and how long it'll take for the driver to reach you.

Yep. Exactly my point, although honestly it didn't occur to me that the weight of the Wrangler might be an outlier.

Well, I mention it only because I get the comment a lot and my last car was a (two door) Wrangler. You could compare it to trucks, but it's just not perceived as a particularly heavy vehicle even relative to normal cars. The vibe I&#x2

They're not all that heavy any more. The Tesla Model 3 is 3552-4072 lbs, while the new Jeep Wrangler (JL) is 3955-4455 lbs.

To me, it's working against reality (and will have unintended consequences) if the price of rent is being held back from market price. If I were a landlord, this just means that rather than charging a higher rent following renovations,

Kind of implicit in the other responses here are use cases that call for a full cluster and all the complexity that goes along with it. But running a single node cluster is totally valid. I use one at home to run arbitrary containers (a D

Yep. For new AWS services, I always end up having to open the web interface and click through the GUI before any of the rest of the explanations make sense.

Well, presumably if that's the case, their ZoomOpener could simply be configured to respond that it exists. That would be enough to either direct the user to a download page or open the protocol-specific URI. If I'm understanding

I feel differently about it, but I think that's totally fair. Just pointing out that it's not quite the case that opponents' predictions turned out to be wrong. Some did, at least for the first year. But some haven't.
