What you've said is pretty much what I always say about Notes, it was much more than Outlook and when Outlook took over I often wondered what folks did for all the things that Notes did that weren't just email and calendar. I wonder what is comparable now in the ability for someone not very technical to be able to knock up, say a simple change approval system? It sometimes seems with the loss of such things as Notes, Foxpro and Hypercard that it has become less easy for non-dev folks to create simple apps rather than more easy.

That reminds me of the latter stages of Sun Microsystems, where it seemed like multiple teams were developing competing solutions for system management and patching. Seems a wasteful model and not one that is servicing customers.

So much this, I don't understand why cloud providers don't offer an easy way to view this sort of thing as really it should all be in the logging anyway.

Rick Beato musing on a Billy Corgan comment on how AI is going to replace musicians. Will we be just be left with a front person to present the music, whose vocals are auto tuned?

I sometimes have 3 - 1 at the normal time, interrupted by needing a pee (Age/male/kidney disease), then a second interrupted by the elder of my two dogs needing a pee and a third short one until work time. Not ideal!

Interesting in particular in the conclusion talking about jobs and automation, a familiar concern now as then.

Oh yeah, the Swiss French way is a lot less confusing.

Apart from the US, where else has middle schools? Here in Scotland there is (Optionally) nursery, primary school (5-12) and then secondary school (12-16/18), no middle.

Very much so, the build quality is amazing. I sold my late dad's 1983/4 DX7 MK1 in 2014 to someone who is now a pal - it was gigged for something like 20 year, more than once a week and all it needed was a new battery.

Oh yes, so much agree - almost completely pointless to search for something in a chat and only see the one line that contains the search terms, none of the context chat around it - dumb dumb dumb.

Reminds of all those times we are told that 'customers demanded X', as if we all stood outside supermarkets with placards saying, "We demand huge strawberries that don't taste of anything". The market does what helps the market, it often isn't good for people or the planet they inhabit - that's the story of our current era and customers need to demand change on that basis.
