The parent is not saying that replicating human judgement is unnecessary complexity, quite the opposite, that our expectations for software replicating human judgement are making it complicated and as a result of that complexity we have &qu

Except UFT8 is not backwards compatible with ASCII! An application written to only understand ASCII will not print non-ASCII UTF-8 characters. That is what you are asking here. It can't be done with ASCII/UTF8. It can't be do

Thanks for confirming no plans. I've lost track of the number who have promised it for years and never delivered. This looks like a nice app for iPhones, but its not useful for serious iPad work. In case you revisit this decision in th

5K iMac + two P2415Qs is what I'd ask for. Depending on how much travel/client meetings maybe a tablet or cheap compact laptop.

Rockets generally want to fly over unpopulated areas to avoid raining debris on people should they explode. They get a boost as well when flying east due to the earths rotation. As a result, launch pads are located in areas where the rocket

A longer sampling period could certainly be a potential solution. It could also cause a different sort of user confusion. If I start up a game, play for a few minutes and then worry about battery life and go check.. If I still see 8 hours I

And yet these new "fewer materials" macbooks are significantly more expensive. =)

This is nothing new though... Every laptop I've owned (including many PowerBooks and MacBook Pros) has gotten about 1-2 hours when playing a game that maxed the GPU and CPU. How does a ~80-100Watt hour battery get more than 1-2 hours o

The time estimates make an assumption that you can use a small sample of energy usage and project it linearly over the remaining battery capacity. This assumption breaks down on modern processors that get much of their energy efficiency by

I agree. Particularly with the USB-C and Magsafe points here. I definitely have had cases where magsafe has helped, but it was primarily with the older macbooks with 4 hour batteries. The benefits of a non-proprietary connector shared with

At this point the biggest clue is that it is not sold by a well known Apple authorized reseller at the MSRP. These counterfeit chargers look nearly identical to the originals, including all of Apple's branding. It is absolutely false a

Ten years ago when Xserves were a thing we ran web servers on OS X, but primarily because we needed OS X for some other server software and it was cheaper to also run a web server on those boxes than stand up a Linux box. We've since a

It is not a fully electric system like the Model S. The drive system is electric but the electricity itself comes from an onboard CNG turbine. The battery just acts as a buffer and place to store regenerative breaking energy.

Yep, aware of how KeepassX does this. Its better than some (i.e. there are locks at all) but dropbox doesn't always cooperate. Have been looking for a better solution, but most seem to not even do the lock file thing.

Most aliases require adding explicitly. The primary feature of the catchall address is that it is a blacklist rather than whitelist for aliases. Gmail style + aliases (which don't require explicit adding) are almost as good, but can be

Sure, I'd be happy to share my use case, especially if it might improve support for this workflow =) I've been using a catch all email address on my primary domain for 15 years. Yes, I get some spam to things like sales@domain.com

The FAQ states that they don't support catch all email addresses. Does anyone know of a service like this that does?

As the original article mentions, it sounds like Apple has already engineered a situation where they can't get into their own phones. This Apple only backdoor option exists only in equipment that predates the secure enclave hardware (s

Actually a huge chunk of the US ISP market has IPv6 in production. Comcast, Time Warner Cable, AT&T, Verizon Wireless, T-Mobile, Sprint, Google Fiber. Ironically, it is their huge monopolistic size that actually makes them great candida

by zaphoyd 11y ago
If you live in an area where you have a choice of ISP then at least inquire about whether they support IPv6. Chances are if you have a choice the factors other than IPv6 will make more of a difference. I.e. I'd have a hard time recomme

I think in this case the issue isn't binary prefixes vs decimal which in this case would amount to a ~7% error, but rather bits vs bytes which is an error of ~800%
