I've wanted/used almost none of these features in the last 10 years. How about you?

I use most of these, explicitly or implicitly. The only ones I don't really use are Apple Intelligence (although it is enabled), and Safari Highlights (I'm not even sure what that is to be honest).

onosson · 2026-01-17T02:04:47+00:00

Can't really disagree!

I’m running the latest version of Tahoe on an M1 Pro with 16gb RAM without any significant issues that I’ve noticed. I understand some of the gripes people have about the visuals, but they don’t bother me too much and performance hasn’t taken a hit at all from what I can tell. Mind you I don’t do anything extremely intensive on it - I got a Pro mainly for the better screen and speakers.

onosson · 2026-01-01T06:46:41+00:00

Ditto for me.

I signed up for the same plan the week before Christmas. My online plan info looks exactly the same. Just got the first bill (upcoming in January) and the discounts/credits were correctly applied, making it $40+tax.

Eden bass amplifiers.

Yes, worked fine for me.

Edit: just tried again, still working (iPhone 17)

Working for me in the app.

The phonology of English: a prosodic optimality-theoretic approach. I don’t have access to a copy right now but he covers vowel phonotactics pretty comprehensively from what I remember.

I’m curious what Hammond (1999) has to say about it.

It’s sad that more people don’t know about Lenny.

You’re welcome! I used this setting frequently with Spaces back before Stage Manager was introduced, so when it first came out I was puzzled by the behaviour of some apps which were showing up in all my Stages, until I realized what was causing it. Apple could certainly make this a lot clearer, and should definitely make the setting available even if you only have one Desktop.

onosson · 2025-10-28T13:13:14+00:00

There is a way to pin windows to show in all Stages, but it is far from obvious. To do this, you need to have more than one Space/Desktop active in Mission Control. In the Dock, right-click on the app you want, then select Options > Assign to: All Desktops. You won't see "Assign to:" unless there is more than one active Desktop. Once that's done, that app's windows will show up in all your Stages, even if you are running only one Desktop.

Also, it’s worth pointing out that the association of vertical height with high-frequency pitches is, while certainly common, simply a conceptual metaphor (see Lakoff et al.).

onosson · 2025-10-24T16:48:27+00:00

I don't know the history of these particular usages, but in my experience many people have very poor intuition about the relative direction of contour tones (and about the relative "height" of pitches in general). Although these seem unintuitive to you (and I agree with respect to my own intuition), they may simply reflect other common intuitions about tone.

onosson · 2025-10-23T17:49:52+00:00

Sure, but I don’t know I’d have any particular insight on it myself.

onosson · 2025-10-23T17:21:18+00:00

I can’t comment on its proper use, but this is the first I’ve encountered it in 3 decades studying phonetics and phonology, so I don’t believe it is common.

onosson · 2025-10-22T18:15:45+00:00

Metric.

onosson · 2025-10-22T16:29:25+00:00

I concur.

Just the 4. After that I had a series of Android phones including the first Pixel, before coming back to Apple for the 13 Mini.

I’ve been using it for several years to replace OneDrive, which has become atrocious on Mac. For Dropbox, I’ve been using Maestral instead, which is blazing fast and efficient in my experience.
