Deep cut, and I appreciate the hell out of that!

This happened a couple of months ago…

“This discovery could be revolutionary. Imagine being able to monitor organ function without invasive procedures, or see precisely where a vein is to draw blood. It could also pave the way for breakthroughs in understanding how diseases affect the body at a microscopic level.”

Fringe is probably all of those.

Gotcha, I was just wondering what specific “slightly bad shit“ paper, and ethical dilemma, they had run across

American Spectator, so probably H.L. Mencken wrote that.

He also wrote this: “Democracy is the theory that the common people know what they want and deserve to get it good and hard.”

What question? What paper? Inquiring minds want to know!

This was posted earlier. Just because they’re not going to give it to authorities doesn’t mean it won’t sell it to them. Or that it isn’t selling it to everybody else already. The other thread mentions that iOS natively has an app that’s completely private, and that there are apps for android and iOS that don’t share the data with anybody.

One of my bosses has a concept of “T-shaped developers”, which means you know everything a little, and have depth on one thing.

7months: ouch, sorry to hear. I wish I had some words of wisdom to share.

It works great if nobody ever leaves or dies or takes vacation. We try to discourage siloization of projects and emphasize cross-training - it makes the job more interesting, gives people more/better tools to solve problems with, etc. And anytime the business objects we mention the project where X left and how painful it is to get new anything added/enhanced because none of those tenets were involved.

However, all bets are off with offshore contractors. Some want to learn, some simply don’t care and will do the bare minimum.

Depending, it could be your freezer, if you’re storing it there for a bit.

My mother in law has a book about “Woke Jesus”, and I know some churches have had issues because the parishioners think Jesus was a wuss.

Seriously, zero clue.

nothing like pushy maniacs to make my day complete

 

I am looking at these two, trying to find a deal on the Pro 2022 that makes it close to the price of the 13" 2024 Air. Right now the "deals" are still in the $999 range for it, as opposed to $800 for the Air. Which sucks - seems like the 2022 is still better, but $200 is $200. I have a pro 10.5" now, but the lure of bigger has finally won out, years later. Trying to see if I'm missing anything - on paper the 2022 is still better, even if older.

Advantages of the Pro 2022:

  • FaceID, not TouchID
  • Promotion display (120hz vs the Air's 60hz)
  • can run external display

Advantages of the Air 2024:

  • Cheaper
  • Newer - supported longer?
  • ? Anything else?

Don’t know how I’ve never come across this, but this made me laugh and cry and nod appreciatively.
