Comment So... (Score 1) 91

... you don't like widgets?

I've been a MacOS user since 1.0 (and NeXTSTEP before that) and this capability has been front of mind forever. Nothing wrong here...this is great!

The developer experience on MacOS continues to be superior to both Linux and Windows for many use cases.

I really don't see the issue here. If Apple wants a unified experience, while still prioritizing the developer and power user experience on the Mac and the consumer experience on the iOS devices, that makes a lot of sense.

Comment Re:Do people watch new Trek? (Score 3, Interesting) 213

Well, they have millions and millions of viewers for each show, so yes. If you don't like it, that's fine, but lots and lots of people do.

Discovery is, in my opinion, the weakest of the shows, but it has its moments. And cool 32nd century ships.
Lower Decks is awesome. Simply awesome. TNG, but with a comedic edge and showing more of the non-main-crew, while still showing them.
Prodigy is something new and different, with a heavy Voyager vibe to it. It's fun to watch.
Picard is very different between S1 and S2. While not what I wanted, it's fun to watch. S3 looks like TNG S8.
Strange New Worlds is TOS with Pike instead of Kirk, and other different, and very compelling, crewmembers. It's very similar to The Orville, but its S1 is funnier than The Orville S3, which is much more serious and less funny at all.
The Orville, while not "Trek" is the closest you'll get to TNG right now.

Comment What were they doing before now?!? (Score 4, Insightful) 273

Every major firm doing any kind of software development process should already be doing this! Proper security and change control, reviews, and approvals are key to any mature Software Development Lifecycle. If these basic controls were not in place prior to now, that's ... very surprising and very disappointing.

Comment Too little, too late (Score 2) 51

I grew up on old Unix. The original System III and V, Solaris, HP-UX, IRIX, and more.
SunOS, and then Solaris, were the best. They were awesome, and Sun Microsystems did a great job with them.
Once Oracle acquired Sun, the neglect to Solaris, and the SPARC architecture, was immense. What Solaris and SPARC are today are hollow shells of what they were. That's sad, but it is what it is.

Comment So ... good? (Score 0) 42

Sounds good. They are using a risk-based approach to ensure that folks that have accounts on their system that are more highly prone to attack have implemented processes to ensure that compromise does not happen and can be detected if it does. That sounds like a great idea. This makes sure that customers/clients/users are listening to their warnings, derived from real threat intel, and are taking appropriate measures to protect their accounts. Good on FB for forcing this, especially for users that have been ignoring these very valid warnings for some time.
