Yup, that looks like something that belongs on Windows.

New captcha challenge?

Apple did displace Flash though, and Flash was much worse for a performant and powerful (and secure, and mobile) internet than Apple.

Technically speaking, I believe that was a joke.

The powerline perch stuff does actually work. I’m glad someone else mentioned it here already.

Ha! Touche.

You could always write CGI scripts in Ruby and Python, but other than catering to the PHP-infected, why would you want to?

Ish. I remember when the earliest versions of Rails used a CGI runner. Development didn't carry on long before application startup time became so horrendously slow that it was no longer viable. That is when it started to become popular to add a server in the application.

Now that people are back to writing their applications in languages that aren't as slow as Ruby they've, in many cases, taken the server back out of their application and have returned to the CGI model again; what is often marketed as "serverless".

Something doesn't connect here. I have a workout tracker app I use, and while I can't access the sandbox from the outside, the app has a feature to import/export workout history and it lets me dump a sqlite db copy via iOS share sheets just fine.

You're saying the app has the feature to export its sqlite DB?

If yes, that's exactly what the users in the linked bug report are asking Signal to add to be able to fix this problem themselves.

Normal people should be able to read 3 pages of text without having a melt down.

10-20 years ago, I’d fully agree.

Unfortunately, the normal people largely got replaced by 3 year olds that are >5ft tall and look like adults.

If Usain bolt claimed he would run 75mph, does him being the fastest runner change the fact that he lied?

If he was the fastest runner, won a the races and had all the world records, I don’t think failing to meet his aspirational goal of 75 would be important.

Boasting you're a year or two from something that is biologically implausible makes a person's proclamations in other fields inherently untrustworthy.

That said, a few seconds of cold gas thrust is more "cybertruck" bad than "theranos" bad.

Lol, aspirational goals. What other goal posts would you like to move?

I interpret that as they lose people all the time, but if you come into the ER with 10 bullet holes in you or after coming to a grinding halt on the freeway after a head on collision, they don't expect you to make it and it's not the sleepy drugs at fault.

Here's a thing humans do: They knew what they meant, but saw an amusing way it could be parsed, and said that, because it's amusing. We all knew what the comment really meant.

There's actually a few ways it could have been meant, or it could have been meant to convey all of them. We all have a pretty good idea in the general sense what they meant, but that amusing reply is also an invitation for the person to elaborate and add nuance.

Not even Windows hibernates or suspends reliably. Apple seems to be the only vendor that can get this right.

I've been using hibernate on Windows for the last... 15 years? And I don't remember ever having a problem. Lenovo and HP laptops.

It is easier to verify that there are no problems on Apple hardware. Windows and Linux run the same for me, you need good hardware to run well. Usabiltity and taste is a different question.
