You can set contacts to bypass do-not-disturb settings. At least on the iPhone you can.

And a middle-age'd man named XFree86 lol.

No one thing is going to "fix our environmental problems." Only by doing a lot of "things" can we hope to "fix" our problems.

What are some of the main use cases for this project?

I switched a few years ago and while there's a lot to like about (and power in) zsh, there's a lot i really dislike about it. For starters, it adds so much additional functionality and compatibility that the documentation (man pages are terrible). Also, the additional history & variable expansion capabilities are messy/ugly in shell syntax (imho). I think ultimately the problem is that, for shell scripting, bash has clearly won, but other shells show that there's room for an alternative specifically for a user's interactive interface...but zsh didn't get the memo so is trying to be all things to all people. One of these days, i'll probably swing over to fish...if I can get the energy to change my environment yet again.

As the saying goes: If the only tool you have is a hammer, it is tempting to treat everything as if it were a nail.

I’m assuming the op is referring to relying on a commercial CDN provider’s anycast implementation but I could be mistaken.

Apple switched when bash switched from GPL2 to GPL3 which they didn’t like. The older bash is still available.

Considering the number of features and capabilities that can be given to a usb-c cable, I think a better alternative would be to take cue from the humble resistor and use color coded bands around each of the ends. Text can only really cover 1-2 capabilities and it’d be nice to have a way to know exactly what a given cable can do, even if it requires a decoder ring.

I don’t remember if it was called out explicitly but there’s a fantastic documentary out now on AppleTV+ about Louis Armstrong. If you have a subscription, I highly recommend watching it!

You forgot (or missed) the rest of the quote:

> …and the way people sang.

As the article stated, many great artists changed one or the other, but only Louis did both.

It also probably has the same caveat that shock wave lithotripsy does too, where if the stone travels below the pelvis, the procedure can’t be used.

Having had a Ureteroscopy procedure, I can say it sure as hell doesn’t feel minimally invasive. It (well, post-op until they remove the stint) was almost as unpleasant as the kidney stone.
