A DM will never be as compelling as asking someone something in person. People can and will entirely ignore DMs about topics that they would never ignore in person.

Isn't it part of the standard?

In relation to the PCB, so if they're horizontally mounted onto the motherboard, you end up with vertical slots on the back of a standard tower.

Yes.

Does everyone follow the standard? No. Including big names that prefer to have their logo facing up.

We've made a ton of progress. They didn't have decentralized computing at all in 1978. Now most things run on remote machines. Also, there has been a move away from the imperative style that makes parallelism so difficult.

I recall being stuck in a closet for hours during tornado warnings multiple times throughout my life. It gets boring. Programming is a good way to pass the time.

I don't know, maybe a war is a bit different. For the first two weeks of it I could not really focus on anything work-related. Worrying whether your city gets captured by the enemy or heavily shelled, being constantly interrupted by air raid sirens, worrying how to replenish supplies, worrying about safety of your family, etc.

Even after I evacuated my family further from the action, we still had missile strikes and air raid warnings. Being away from home, learning about horrible things happening in your country, those things do not help with being productive.

Traditional engineering can be done by unlicensed persons. It's just that the final design must be signed off by a licensed engineer. In the same way, open source software can be contributed to by unlicensed software engineers, but if the system will be used in a production product, it must be signed off by a licensed software engineer.

> if the system will be used in a production product, it must be signed off by a licensed software engineer.

Now I think you're talking about something that large companies could get behind: a massive barrier to market entry and competition that simultaneously neutralizes the threat of open source software while allowing them to sell it.

>It's just that the final design must be signed off by a licensed engineer.

This is a great way to establish a new system to elicit corruption like you get with building permits etc. After all, you don't want your design to be stuck for 9 months waiting for approval, do you?

What industry do you wish to deregulate? Also, software is not unrestricted "progress." It is unrestricted "change," which is not always a good thing.

There's a line in the article that mentions that the beard is fake.

Crap phones too. My phone is four years old and is borderline unusable because most websites don't bother to load all the way. Most apps have trouble loading too.

"So not even Apple knows the location of your AirTag or the identity of the device that helps find it."

Correct. And if you read that carefully, it does not say that Apple doesn't know who the owner is. The owner, in this case, is not whose phone reported the tag.

neither of those statements say anything about identifying who purchased the air tag and what apple account is tied to the air tag.. you do realize that for someone to be able to find the location of the airtag, it has to be tied to their icloud account? the airtags have a serial number. it's trivial for apple to identify what icloud account is associated to the tag by serial number..

Yeah, I regularly do this.
