Yep. I just installed it on macOS via Homebrew. Took about 5 minutes to get set up.

My point here is that if you use Linux enough, then you will encounter issues, period, regardless of your technical level.

1. If you don't encounter any trouble daily driving GNU/Linux, that is actually a sign of inexperience . That or you're doing nothing interesting. 2. If principles mattered more than convenience, most Linux users would be on

I predict in the coming days, the conspiratorialists will claim this is all 4D chess. Personally, I think Hanlon's Razor ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hanlon%27s_razor ) is as sharp as ever.

Why not weakness or incompetence? The guy is clearly out of his depth here.

A general purpose AI is going to struggle with technical concepts and terminology that it has never learned before, but the whole point of many papers is to introduce these very concepts and terms.

It seems a bit strong to suggest the "rights of the user" are in question here, when no one is being forced to use an Apple phone. It's happening everywhere in this thread, and I'm a bit surprised why more people don&#x2

Okay, so why should we value the web as the "go to" platform instead of applications? We can do this until the cows go home. You are making claims about values here, and not everyone shares your values.

iOS Safari locking out features is not inherently good or bad. Yes, it holds back further adoption of cutting edge features that some developers would like but that the average person doesn't care about. However, it also holds back fea

Is "pushing the bounds of what the web can do" something we should value? Given the current direction of the web, a preference for Safari's relatively slow feature rollouts seems reasonable.

1. Whether Apple is violating the law is up to the legal system to decide. 2. A lifting of the requirement is an implicit endorsement of a Chrome monopoly. This seems difficult to square with the intent of lifting the requirement.

So you think poor support for an optional technology is sufficient to call Safari the worst browser "in existence"? Let's work on that argument a bit more before posting hyperbole.

I think it's more schadenfreude. Here's a guy who has all the money in the world, but when push comes to shove, he struggles to obtain things that are easy for most of us, like respect, credibility, and competence.

I tried it, but I realized there was no mobile app to sync with. Unless that's changed.

I find it ironic that you are expressing a strong opinion that opinions do not make good conversation. Philosophy is the highest form of interesting conversation, and it's right there with religion (possibly politics, too).

As it's written, I see zero such implication. The author used the article 'a' instead of 'the.' There's your clue. For a forum that is notoriously literal, I am surprised to see so many people interpret such a

The author raises the point about 'Peking' because many people don't know that it's a romanization of Beijing. You are suggesting that the author is incorrect to omit the commonly known romanization? Develop the argument

It goes both ways. Americans are way too casual with lunchmeat and prepping raw meat and vegetables on the same surfaces.

Use vs. reference. 'Peking' is a romanized name for Beijing. So is 'Beijing.' Had the author said "a romanized name for 'Beijing,'" then you would have a had a point. Sure, you could use '北京,&#x2

This is as naive as drivers refusing to wear seatbelts. In serious crashes, you cannot control your body in the first place. Of course, the helmet is only 10% of cycling safety. But it's for that important 10% when your head crashes in

Oh, there's a vague connection then. The Chinese protests aren't just about Covid restrictions though.

Maybe this is too false of an equivalency for me to comprehend, but I genuinely do not see any connection between the two scenarios you mention.

There was actually some truth to this around 2014-2015, before the major clampdowns.

Guidance is normative, not descriptive. Science itself cannot tell anyone what to do. No amount of "science" can tell you how to prioritize your messaging, mask production/distribution, and hospital usage. Why is it inherentl

Absence of evidence is not evidence of absence. We are discovering new long-term side effects of COVID-19 exposure everyday, most of which could have been prevented by inoculation.

I agree that many applications don't need menu bar extras. However, the option is always nice to have. Regardless of the HIG, it might not be good to restrict functionality to Dock given that many people turn it off.
