great little app. I had to approve it specifically in System Preferences > Security & Privacy > General because it's not signed, but that's a minor detail.

To really remember, let's assume a person needed to be 15 around 2005. Those people are now 33. Not what I'd call "very young". Microsoft was founded 40+ years ago. It's changed over that time. So has Apple. So has

Microsoft probably doesn't care about Windows market share on actual native hardware. They are moving their business customers onto the cloud. Microsoft Windows 365 is what they want people on. Monthly subscriptions and streamed remo

Powershell is available native on MacOS: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/powershell/scripting/insta... But so is current versions of bash, csh, sh, zsh, fish, etc etc ad infinitum in Macports.

Rectangle is great. The fact that some apps (mostly Electron based it seems) are terrible at remembering where they were last opened does appear to be a MacOS trait.

I'm pretty sure that Apple will bring a major new product like AR/VR to market with a bunch of apps lined up. I doubt the lack of gaming titles is causing them to not bring it to market. VR/AR is not mobile gaming and its not

MacPorts makes your Apple a Unix box in userspace and has most of the apps and frameworks and languages. WSL2 is just running a Linux in a VM. You can do that with VirtualBox and other hypervisors. You can also spin up a Kubernetes runtime

Open offices were designed to minimize the space per employee. A "happy side effect" is that it made it easier for micro-managers to micro-manage.

Different types of workers need different levels of face-to-face interaction. Marketing teams, creatives and other similar groups need more face-to-face interaction because what they're creating is all about interaction, with the com

This is nonsense. What they're saying is that we need to start designing habitation to be more localized and less dependent on commuting and endlessly expanding suburbia. Suburbs, particularly the US variety (and Australia) are terribl

Not as true now as it was even 2 years ago. Slovakian wages are reaching parity with the "West" of Europe, and Romania is climbing as well. Until the war, Ukraine was also climbing that same ladder. And when the war is over, they

While I understand your argument, and it has some legitimacy, particularly in relation to anti-trust regulation and moving back to actually enforcing the laws, as opposed to what has been happening since the late 1980s. Low-skill workers on

This is being driven in industry by the push by US FedGov (via NIST) to have supply chain verification after the recent hacks. POTUS issued an EO and NIST have been following up, leading to the promotion of schemes such as spdx https:&#x2F

Just a comment, using the term "mainstream medical system" is a "code smell" for me when discussing medical science. Have you had your gut biota analyzed to see whether there is a basis for your inflammation issues? Yes,

RPC is a fundamentally broken concept because it relies on both server and client being synchronized, which is brittle and requires whole system upgrades. Protobufs and things like optional fields etc help, but not that much. One of the pro

The "idempotency" is that the request should not cause a state transfer from the client to the server that causes the server to change the resource. That doesn't mean that the server can't change the resource itself fo
