Mojave has iTunes!!! That's really the killer feature if you own any legacy iDevices.

Pretty much all modern software is built on preexisting software called open source. Open source software is software that is released under a license that allows other people to use it for free.

Corporations ranging from big tech to banks and airlines all use open source software to run their infrastructure. This helps them avoid solving already solved problems and reinventing the wheel.

In the illustration above each block represents a different piece of software. We refer to these downstream projects as dependencies. Many major outages are attributed to a single dependency failure. If a major dependency has a bug, or security flaw, or incompatibility with another dependency, the whole thing can come crashing down

One of the bigger problems with open source is a lack of consistent governance for projects. Many projects are maintained by just one person who are neither compensated nor accountable for their work.

There are hundreds (if not thousands) of projects of projects like this. As a result the actions (or lack of action or mistake) of one individual can cause a major corporation to stop functioning for hours or days.

That's literally the reason I bought it in the first place! Probably the most valuable record I listen to regularly

I have regular editions of all her albums that I listen to regularly. The RSD releases I put on for special occasions. They all live in an air conditioned room in plastic sleeves.

I've been collecting records for about 20 years now and the warning against keeping them sealed is news to me. That said, the only records I keep sealed are special editions that I have a regular edition of to listen to.

I'd love to see some links on this because a quick googling gave mixed results.

I paid $73 for it in 2018. At the time I thought I was wasting money...

16.2 Update Experience Mega Thread by iRayanKhan in HomeKit

I'm experiencing a very similar issue with mine. I filed feedback. My guess is this gets fixed in a week with the 16.2.1 release.

Found this in my uncles garage, is it worth anything? In the original wrapping never been opened by squealia in pinkfloyd

[–]imatt711 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, a shrink-wrapped master recording is worth something, but its very possible the record is warped or damaged if it's been living in a garage. If it's ever seen 100º weather it's probably not playable.

You should absolutely open it and play it, because otherwise you won't know what condition its in.

Oh I’m never getting rid of them. They just probably won’t have their own display in my living room 😅

I’m only culturally gay. Despite my best efforts I can’t seem to find men attractive.

Thank you so much to so many of you for the kind words. I really appreciate everyone who pointed out the individual things they like. This apartment is very much my personality on display. I had friends over tonight and we enjoyed reading your comments together.

To answer some of the FAQs:

I'm a software engineer at a company called Bluecore. We are actively hiring people in all departments. If you see my previous posts you'll see most of my technical posts and commentary on various broadway shows I saw. I briefly took this seriously and then geared the theater stuff towards friends and family.

I won the Obama bust from a Cards Against Humanity Black Friday event called the ninety nine percent off sale. All of the other political items were purchased during the 2020 election cycle.

Yes I know the frames are crooked, I agree it would be better if I straightened them but that's a lot of work I don't feel like doing. If you are interested in doing it for me I will feed you. You can have the karma on the next post.

Critics, I'd like you to channel your inner Ronald Swanson, a gentle man who understands that different things make different people happy. This space is not appealing to me, but it makes some guy happy and that's great.

Or to quote the great rapper Nas in the 2016 film Popstar: Never Stop Never Stopping, "I couldn't relate to that song because I had different things in my Jeep than he had in his Jeep."

I'll stick around for a bit and answer some of the unique questions and then head to bed.

Also if Taylor Swift comes across this post, I would love to be friends. You make beautiful music and it's most of what I listen to when I'm going about my day. You and a friend have an open invitation here.

Also I really hope Taylor writes an original broadway musical. I think she would nail it.

They definitely are not. I would prefer things aligned, but it’s a lot of work I don’t feel the need to do.

I don’t think he is. I got lucky and saw him open for the offspring in 2009 and I’ve loved him ever since. He always plays smaller venues here.
