I think 1% per year is insufficient for repairs. Even a paint job will cost more than that these days. There's also a potential HOA fee, even in many neighborhoods with freestanding homes. But there are tax benefits of home ownership t

They are pushing business-to-business service too, like ships, airlines, and retail/office backup. Plus smartphones can talk directly to their satellites. A lot of countries will use them for military use. Whether it adds up to a reaso

My MacBook Pro M1 keyboard broke too and Apple wanted $900 to replace it. I bought a $30 replacement on Amazon and started replacing it myself. Unfortunately the repair was a bit too complicated for me, but luckily one of my co-workers had

The best book I've ever read on the topic was the classic Mac OS Human Interface Guidelines. I still recommend them even though some of the specifics are out-of-date. https://dev.os9.ca/techpubs/mac/pdf/H

The ones I remember most affecting performance were zeroing allocated memory and the Spectre/Meltdown fix. Also, the first launch of a new app is slow in order to check the signature. Whole disk encryption is pretty fast today, but pro

Very cool. Street names with an on/off toggle would be nice.

We had edge delivery issues when I didn't use my ISP's DNS, especially from Apple. Not exactly sure of the mechanism, but downloading Xcode would take 2 hours instead of 10 minutes.

Note this quote from the article: “Weakly affiliated Democrats had basal Testosterone levels 19% higher than strong Democrats and all Republicans.” So it's not as simple as "more testosterone means more Republican".

The one issue I have with SQLite's file format is that if part of the file gets corrupted, you can't easily recover the rest of the file. I asked Richard Hipp about this many years ago and he said that fixing the problem would unf

It'll likely be very workload dependent. The M4 Max will probably do a little better in single threaded tasks like browser benchmarks and the M3 Ultra will do better in things like video transcoding and 3D rendering.

About 40 years ago my father, an oncologist, told me there were two common types of prostate cancer, the fast growing type that kills you and the slow growing type that doesn't. We've learned a lot about it since then, but that de

This sucks beyond belief. The whole reason I moved to Insomnia from Postman was because Postman uploaded all of our APIs and credentials to their server without asking. I have clients that demand privacy - we can't even discuss the exi

Thanks for this. I had more fun writing The Grouch and another goofy app named VideoBeep than I did with 35 years of more serious software. -Eric Shapiro
