I'm thinking that was just a typeface (looks like Profil) that was available to their printer. It also shows up in the word WARRANTY in the back of the manual: https://s3data.computerhistory.org/brochures/apple.ap

Doesn't `git merge -s ours` do this? This resolves any number of heads, but the resulting tree of the merge is always that of the current branch head, effectively ignoring all changes from all other branches. It is meant

It drives me nuts that local governments in the US continue to use Twitter/X to disseminate communications, despite having perfectly good web sites of their own.

I disagree. A lot of the problems come down to part A of the system not coordinating well with part B. Take the brouhaha about the Tahoe window corners: obviously there wasn't enough communication between folks designing the window f

As someone who witnessed a lot of the quality decline at Apple from the inside, hiring more people is decidedly not the answer. All that does is encourages management to engage in more churn, which is the source of these sorts of bugs. The

No, this bill would be subject to the filibuster (since it's not a reconciliation bill under the Budget Act), so it's not a simple majority.

I must admit I somehow missed "at the motel" part of your post. I'm sorry! (I still disagree with your broader point, since I don't think you can meaningfully draw a "has skin in the game" line.)

Renters can also enroll their kids in public schools. And in terms of mobility, renters might be stuck in a one- or two-year lease, far longer than it might take to sell a house. Maybe those transient homeowners are the ones who shouldn&

That really sucks, but don't deprive yourself of something you think you might enjoy because of that one jackass. Chances are that next time you won't experience something like that. Also, basically every pro and semi-pro sports

Yep, that's a great workaround, as long as you have third-party apps you're happy with.

The point is that Apple's own design team was.

But you cannot, in general, migrate your data backwards. Apple's system apps will upgrade their data stores forward only. This isn't a problem if you are willing to e.g. re-download all of your (Mail.app) mail.

You can view statements via the Web on < https://card.apple.com/ > (though not for the associated savings account, if you choose to add that).

Lawyers, admins, and executives, sure. But what about the complexity on the engineers who now have to maintain an exploding matrix of modes? I can definitely see that becoming burdensome.

It's also the meaning used in the title of this very Web site.

Is this increasing complexity in the Web layout world worth it? Anyone who wants to use this is going to drop support for older browsers (and, in so doing, older machines that can't run newer OSes and newer browsers). Personally, I us

POSIX does not specify the init/rc script system, so it's not a factor here at all. A POSIX-compliant system could use Python scripts. macOS (which is UNIX 03 certified) uses launchd. A POSIX system has to ship the shell, not

That's fine; I just thought it was weird to say that we should check to see whether any shell scripts are used in the BSD init system. We know there are; it was a deliberate design decision at the time, even if we might now wish for i

I can't tell whether you're making a joke, seeing as the entire BSD init system is built on shell scripts.

Basically, I bought a physical Apple gift card via the Apple online store, and it was never delivered. UPS tracking (on Apple's own site) showed it never left the origin. I called to get it re-shipped, and they (in so many words) acc

Mine happened earlier this year, FWIW. Believe me, I have no desire to defend Apple. Their behavior absolutely sucks. I just want a good resolution for the author of this blog post.

Good. Don't be afraid to follow up if they drag their feet. Be respectful but persistent. I'm sorry this is happening to you. It's a shitty feeling.
