> Apple is actually the opposite of Ubiquiti -- they don't want you to be able to configure anything or have any visibility into anything.

True, however before I was running a UniFi household I did quite enjoy Apple's Airport equipment. Back in the day it felt like they were the first time I had consumer networking equipment that I wasn't forced to reboot regularly to resolve issues.

Not a fan of either but I feel obligated to point out they don't appear to be sponsoring Omarchy, they just posted about it on their social media account(s). Hyprland they actually did do a small sponsorship for.

Very cool! I think I'll have some opportunity soon to give it a shot, I have just the set of projects that have been needing a tool like this. One thing I think I'm missing after perusing the docs however is, how does one onboard other engineers to the cluster after it has been set up? And similarly, how does deployment from a CI/CD runner work? I don't see anything about how to connect to an existing cluster from a new machine, or at least not that I'm recognizing.

I almost used this recently to gain more control over the HTTP cache behavior in our app at work, but eventually realized what I wanted could be achieved by combining plain old cache headers with some more intelligent cache busting query strings. I would definitely like to see some more real-life examples where this API provides unique benefits over traditional cache handling.

With the proposal in the OP, I would think so yes. But the MacOS setting mentioned directly above is blanket per-app at the OS level.

The issues in question here surface even with an empty city, at higher populations the CPU will almost certainly become the issue but right now most of the complaints are unrelated to sim performance and it even seems like for most people the sim performs quite well even at higher populations.

So the last "good" Windows was what then, 3.1? Modern lock screens are essentially just glorified login prompts and we had that in 3.11 I believe.

I've been noticing some of the same with The X-Files. There are seemingly random shots with lower quality, and any shot with heavy VFX looks original, but most of it now looks quite sharp.

My assumption is that is only for the particular ad or company and that they will just show you ads from other places instead. More of a way to nudge the system into showing you more "relevant" promoted tweets than actually removing them.

There will almost certainly be some tie-in with Microsoft's impending xCloud-based streaming service. Given that they will be starting from a position where people already own games on their platform plus the addition of Xbox Game Pass, I expect that service to really eat into any potential Stadia users.

I will absolutely take this opportunity as others have to praise James Mickens. I'd encourage anyone to simply go type his name into YouTube and watch some talks if you haven't.

I follow a decent amount of video essay channels on YouTube, some better than others, here are a few that I think operate around the same level of quality as Every Frame a Painting:

Lessons from the Screenplay - Similar to EFaP but for screenplays (obviously)

Wendover Productions - Many topics but generally focuses on Logistics, Aviation, Economics, Geography, and their intersections

Ahoy - Video games, firearms, and their intersection

NoClip - Video games; Their format is more traditional documentary as opposed to video essay, but I feel compelled to mention them here due to their quality work (disclaimer: I donate to them via Patreon)
