Comment 30kg of CO2? (Score 1) 111

by _observer (#63265129) Attached to: Startups Capture CO2 and Store It In Concrete
The numbers don't make sense to me - 30kg of CO2 from 120km of driving? My car uses around 11L of gas per 100km (it might be better in the summer, but it's winter and I only drive in the city during winter). There's no way that it's producing 30kg of CO2 when I used less than 9kg of fuel.

Submission + - macOS 10.14.4 Mail client broke Gmail access for some users (apple.com) 1

Submitted by _observer
_observer writes: Hundreds of users are unable to read their Gmail in Apple's Mail client since the upgrade to macOS 10.14.4, with few workaround available. This is impacting business and personal users, although not all Gmail accounts are impacted. The web client and other clients like Outlook still work — it is only Apple's Mail client. Users are caught in a login loop.

It appears that the issue was even found and reported in the 10.14.4 Beta, but not addressed when the update was released.

No word from Apple about this.

While I am somewhat sympathetic to the software engineers having bugs in code (I am an engineer too), but this seems to be a BIG QA miss.

Gmail is the most popular free email service and this is blocking a large number of users.

Normally, I'm a big fan of very brilliant people... but then I didn't think it was possible to jump the shark in a motorized wheelchair. Seriously, what would any civilization want from a messed up, polluted tiny little planet like Earth? Any resource we have, except our own stupidity, is more abundant elsewhere.

The Zen of SOA 219

Posted by samzenpus from the read-all-about-it dept.
Alex Roussekov writes "The book "Zen of SOA" by Tom Termini introduces an original view to the challenging world of SOA. He refers to the Zen philosophy as a "therapeutic device" helping SOA practitioners to get rid of prejudices and opinions in order to apply a clear mind-set based on real-life experiences and the application of technology knowledge. Each chapter of the book is prefaced by Zen Truism that the author suggests to "revisit, reflect on it longer, and see if you are able to establish a truth from the narrative, as well as from your own experiences." In fact, the book is about a SOA Blueprint outlining a methodology for building a successful SOA strategy. The target audience is C-level Executives, IT Managers and Enterprise Architects undertaking or intending to undertake adoption of SOA throughout their organizations. I strongly recommend the book to all SOA practitioners involved in implementation of SOA." Read below for the rest of Alexander's review.
