Maybe I’m misremembering but I feel like Steve Jobs era Apple was much better at admitting mistakes. Nowadays even fiascos like the butterfly keyboard don’t warrant an apology, just a quiet change.

The one time I flew from Austin, there was a band playing at a restaurant in the ticketed area. Going through security it was bad (you could only really hear the drums) but once I was through it was downright painful. Really makes you wonder how these decisions get made.

I’ve witnessed some of the most talented leaders of my generation hit rock bottom due to burnout—hustling through the grind at 4 AM, hungry for that next breakthrough.

These are the visionary disruptors, chasing that high-level synergy between ancient wisdom and modern innovation. They’ve faced the struggle, stayed up in low-budget home offices, and scaled their mindset while contemplating the future of the industry.

They’ve been transparent about their journey, showing true vulnerability under the pressure of the city, and finding inspiration in the most unexpected places. #Leadership #Resilience #Innovation #Mindset #Entrepreneurship

So the works of J.R.R. Tolkien, who died in 1973, will enter the public domain in New Zealand (and other countries) next year? Or do they not, as he presumably published his works in the UK? Or they enter the public domain in New Zealand et al. but not in other countries?

I'm aware of that mirror. What I'm talking about in my comment is that there was a time when the development of the Linux kernel actually moved to GitHub, due to problems with the regular Linux kernel development infrastructure.

Isn't that the point of X-ray spectroscopy? As a layperson I don't know of any point in trying to "photograph" a single atom, but surely being able to do spectroscopy on a single atom is really useful.

It's quite clear to me that tech companies know that reneging on WFH will cause some employees to leave. I think that this is actually the entire point. You can do a soft layoff, without ever having to say the word layoff, and without ever getting "Tech company XYZ announces layoffs" headlines.

If you scroll down on the article in the OP, you'll see that Cantonese readings of Chinese characters are also context-specific, and they appear to have solved that problem with ligatures.
