It doesn't say they got arrested, but apparently the person in question didn't turn off the Bluetooth device when asked to. Ignoring or disobeying the instructions of flight attendants is a federal offense.

There were movies but they weren't very good.

From the 1700s, Magic lanterns had moving parts, and there were magic lantern shows.

The Phenakistoscope was a kind of simple movie, and was projected on a stage by the mid 1800s.

The Zoopraxiscope was used with a projector from 1880 in public lectures. It is of interest because it used actual photographs.

The Kinetoscope was a little later, by 1892.

If your company relies on "oral tradition" to maintain documentation, then your company may not survive with or without AI.

"Oral tradition" is the engineering process of knowledge being lost. That is to say it's not engineering.

Maybe he should have made a backup earlier.

This is what happens when you don't consider all the edge cases.

The edge cases break the law.

tl;dr it seems like it's been different things at different times, officially, and that NeXTSTEP has been used for a long time.

From the Wikipedia page, this 0.9 release doc lists "NextStep" as a registered trademark.

People are using this particular feature. I don't really understand why, but reports are they do like it.

Apparently even Debian is supporting it (despite the summary): https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/a...

It turns out some people are using it. I don't know why, but from time to time they submit bug reports and patches.

So if people are using it, there's no real reason to remove it. If some people don't want it in their version of the kernel, a compile flag works fine.

The only thing that matters is whether people are using it.

If people are not using it, then remove it. If people are using it, leave it in. If somehow it still bothers you (I don't know why), then you can add a compile flag so it is not in your particular kernel.

It's clear the original trilogy was lightning in a bottle for many reasons, and it's clear that Marcia Lucas and other skilled editors had an absolutely huge impact. But can you really say the editor is the "more talented" Lucas? Seems to me that for a time, whatever partnership George and Marcia had personally and working together, worked really well.

After the split, neither one of them ever created something as on target as the originals.

Then again, Star Wars is almost unique for the cultural impact it's had. Hard to do a repeat.

A lot of people doubt that Iran was/is trying to make a nuclear weapon.

Just shows how sometimes connotations and visceral impacts of words change over time.

I learned about that movie from The Wall..

My kids call me a boomer when that happens to me. And yeah, it happens.

Though to be fair, I actually really like the side button -- the one on the lower right that is touch sensitive. I use it for activating and using the camera. I just ALSO sometimes activate it when reading in landscape mode. Oops.

How do they keep the proteins from denaturing?

RTFA.

I didn't rail against Rust. It's fine. LTR
