What is Tiblur? There’s no explanation given in the post and the link is to a sign-in/amount creation page, also with no explanation.

But does it still support the first-gen iPhone?

There is another option:

• Downsize the office to better fit with the number of people who do actually want to be in the office, either full or part time, and don’t cause a huge ruckus about people who prefer to work remotely.

At my job, most people are in the office 2-3 days a week, but there are a few who are there nearly every day. We also have some people who are remote/WFH, including a few who are remote even though they live very near by.

We could always move Veteran’s Day to September but then establish Armistice Day on 11 November, which is what the rest of the world calls that day. Net result would be one more federal holiday (just with some renaming).

Or, we could mess things up by leaving Labor Day and Veteran’s Day alone and adding “Armistice Day” in May. :)

No duh - why would it have any ability to do that sort of task?

At that point Apple might as well pull out of doing business in the UK entirely.

Another commenter mentioned that this is probably happening due to the EU’s right-to-repair law. If Apple has to provide the parts and instructions there, then they might as well do it in the US as well and get some good press and goodwill for supporting the bill.

It’s essentially the same reason why once the EU’s USB-C law goes into effect, the US versions will (probably) also switch to USB-C, even though it isn’t required.

Videos are not documentation.

They can be used to demonstrate examples of how to do a particular task, but as other commenters have mentioned, documentation involves listing classes, functions, parameters, etc and clearly explaining what they all do, in a searchable manner. Text is searchable, video is not.

Nope, I absolutely hate Jira and everything that I needed to do in it at my old job. Luckily for most stuff we had other issue trackers (multiple, but that’s another issue), but whenever I had to touch Jira or any other Atlassian tool, it was a bad time.

Even human life will still likely survive, just not necessarily in the large-scale, global civilization that we have today. Even if that all collapses, scattered pockets of human civilization will remain across much of the world.

I wouldn’t characterize statistical analysis as “AI”, but sadly I do see people (like those authors) totally missing the differences.

I’m generally hesitant about AI stuff (particularly with the constant “full steam ahead, ‘disrupt’ everything!” mindset that is far too prevalent in certain tech spheres), but what I saw described in this article looks really, really cool. The one bit I’m hesitant about is where actual pages are presented (since that is actually presenting a segment of the text), but other than that it’s really sad to see this project killed by a massive misunderstanding.

Enhanced Safe Browsing was released in 2007 as an upgrade to Google’s standard Safe Browsing feature that warns users when they visit known phishing and malware sites.

That’s gotta be a typo. Gmail itself came out in 2004, and I doubt that “Safe Browsing” and then “Enhanced Safe Browsing” both came out in the first three years.

I’m guessing it’s supposed to be 2017?

Regardless of when it came out, the nagging prompts sure are annoying.

Mine went through just fine - I’m curious what subset of users this affected.

Regarding the list of who you supported, Patreon has sent me monthly “Your Patreon receipt is here!” emails that list out each supporter and the tier. I don’t believe I explicitly enabled these emails - they just started coming one month, so presumably one would have needed to specifically turn them off to not get the receipts.

The only use that I’ve thought of over the years is event logging where you need a very high confidence that no one has tampered with the logs.

For consumer software, yes, most is still being built with a baseline target instruction set from the early/mid-2000s. In 2019 there were reports of Apex Legends requiring SSE4.1, an instruction set from circa 2007. It will be be probably close to a couple decades before consumer software would start commonly requiring these instructions.

However, for more specialized environments, such as scientific and high-performance computing applications, it’s much more common that you will be using custom software designed for a specific task, and that it’s normal to recompile the software when you get a new set of hardware. In those applications, these instructions can make a huge impact, as you know exactly which capabilities are supported by the hardware and can use everything available.

I believe there are also some (possibly limited) situations where a program can check what instructions a processor supports and use either the newer (higher-performance) version or the slower, more widely-supported version depending on that check. There may be limits on how often that can be done however.

Symmetrical gigabit is a bit much for a baseline. Should it be widely available for all, and for a good price? Absolutely. But plenty of people (probably a majority even) could be adequately served by something like 300 down/100 up as a baseline tier.

Yeah, I also pay for YouTube Premium (have since it was YouTube Red), and get a ton of value out of it, but I’m still bombarded by all those absurd “Shorts” clogging up my subscriptions feed. I’ll have to try the linked extension - I’ve been meaning to see what’s available…
