When talking about the short run and long run implications of anything it must be acknowledged that in the long run we're all dead. Furthermore, in the medium term a very large portion of people's lives can be wasted. Instinctuall

They could also not solve the problem. If someone isn't going to buy a lot more from you, doesn't talk to people who will buy a lot from you, and are unlikely to go to small claims court why give them an RMA? If some of your mer

I remember hearing about laparoscopic surgery and ultrasonic treatments for gallbladder and kidney stones while growing up. My dad was a surgeon and that was a large part of his "business", but he was really excited about the adva

That makes sense. Back before multitasking when you could have many applications open at the same time the Apple menu was really convenient for small applications like calculators. Much later once they had a multi-user operating system and

How was MacOS's shutdown confusing? That sounds a little more like the version of Windows where it was intentionally hidden.

If you force yourself to use the keyboard you might find it as convenient in Windows as it was in OS X. However, it is almost modal like vim. When I used Windows, I was used to `alt` followed by a series of keys for repetitive or common c

That's much better! Something approaching 1/5 made me think of movie theater concessions.

The metric system is a great system because it is almost universal. Base 10, as well as the other choices for what is ideal might be argued as inferior to other measurement systems. Since the time we are talking about is going to be used by

That's terrible to read. I'd hoped that Apple had just happened upon a streak of decisions that were inconvenient to users, and might reverse the trajectory. At less than 1/5 of $230B (more than 1/6?), and obviously at a

Should the police be able to enter any house with locks they can pick? I suppose that would educate people, too. edit: I misread the comment as, " without a warrant"! Ugh

Do I think people in tech should be subject to the type of popularity contests that domestic workers in Imperial Britain experienced? No. My point was that there is enough caution around these sorts of conversations with references, that co

I do agree with what you're saying, but also know of instances in finance where people have been fired for theft, then fired for the same thing again, because people were too wary of giving any information other than period of employme

That sounds unbelievably risky for the people giving the references to have long, nuanced conversations about someone's potential weaknesses in a new job. I can imagine many ways these conversations could be made off the record, but th

That explains why my dog doesn't understand me when I tell her not to eat the furniture, or rocks. I should just tell her, "don't take in any more rocks!"

I find it difficult to find out the explicit operators in Wolfram|Alpha. Using '+' seems obvious once you see it, but it wasn't to me before. Adding modifiers, like "steamed broccoli" might improve the accuracy of s

I suppose the era of PowerPCs was a little different, with Apple far ahead of PCs for a while, then well behind. Apple could have released Skylake 13" class laptops a long time ago. Possibly they thought there would be suitable Kaby La

A top dollar SSD over SATA III will be about 1/6 the speed of the new NVMe connected SSDs. Are there good options for external PCIe hard drives using Thunderbolt 2?

For $150 the ssd is twice as fast at the least. The options for external monitors are also much, much better.

I'm not in the power industry, but you can read more about the economics of retrofits here[1], and technologies here[2]. I'd imagine the cost of retrofitting depends on how much pollution needs to be mitigated to make the (polluti

The code statistics on github[1] show almost all C++, while vim is written in C. According to the author the project began as a reimplementation or merely a rewrite of vim then turned into a more ambitious reimagining of how to design a mod

Have you tried replacing the batteries yourself? A cheap battery I got off of eBay for a 2012 model registered over 100% of the stock battery capacity for at least six months. It looks like they only run $30 for your model. To make the char
