"prety" I can ignore. "rane" I cannot. ;)

Joking aside, my assumption is that Trump's position on Greenland is exactly that same statement as you made. We do pretty much have free reign but so does everyone else and that's the sticking point...I think. I usually try to find some hidden agenda because every slimy political move is slimy, but this one, at least to my naive self, seems pretty straightforward. "We" have an interest in limiting how closely we let "enemies" get to our borders with established bases and working condition and access to resources.

Police "discretion" already does that. Everywhere. All the time. At every level.

TFS doesn't even mention Java in its "anyone familiar with" list, but Java streams have been around since 2014 and are much a more disciplined and formal implementation of a very similar concept of chaining operations together like this. I'd call this Python pipe operator nothing more than syntactic sugar. Seriously, honest question...does it actually do anything functional other than change the *syntax* of how you chain calls together?

Feels a little bit like moving away from legacy environments and starting fresh with [ insert more modern, secure, pattern-focused paradigm/language ] is a somehow more accurate summary to me.

Phew....I was starting to wonder if I was the one that had misread it cause everyone seemed to be taking it seriously.

Also...1343!? Holy shit!

I can't be bothered, so hopefully one or more of y'all will take it upon yourselves.

I'm not sure I understand what you're getting at because the weakest link across every OS is the meatbag running the keyboard. This article talks specifically about the delivery mechanism for this involving a dumbass user copy a base64 encoded curl command or some similarly stupid crap and running it. If you give me root because you believe this "security check" is necessary and blindly click OK, then I'm not sure which OS is going to be able to help you out there.

Came here to say the same; graybeard and all...except 35 years as a professional developer (software, hardware, firmware, whatever); e3 user initially with IBM in early 90s, then vi from about 92 to present.

Used to use Apple exclusively in the 80s until they absolutely lost their #$!@% minds. That period without Jobs (pretty much all of the 90s) was insufferable trash.

Eventually they sorted it all out but it took me a solid 15 years after their release of OS X to finally be willing to give them another try; and honestly it was all the Windows 10 horseshit that drove me to it.

Bought my first MacBook Pro (Intel) in, I think, 2016...never...looked..back. Ever. Not once.

Fancy with all kinds of pretty little bells and whistles? No. Intuitive, powerful Window management? No, for sure.

But it f'king worked. I have NEVER had a single crash of any sort on any MacBooks I've owned or running any version of macOS I've tried. I'm sure it happens, but holy hell what a difference the entire experience was from Window's upgrade/BSOD/reboot hell and Linux's atrocious desktop/support/management consistency hell.

And then Apple goes all in on ARM!? I'm here to stay I guess. At least for a while; almost certainly until I retire and beyond a bit...I could get by on what they currently have for that time period. So even if torched every good idea they ever had tomorrow, I guess I'm finishing up this career with Apple...where it all started for me.

I've found that, counter to what the talking heads would have you believe, the only people that can effectively use AI for coding tasks are the same people that can code effectively to begin with.

I see what they did there.

Maker of product receiving increased regulation claims increased regulation is bad. More news at 11?

Seriously...WHY would you do this, Apple? Everyone, everywhere along the review chain MUST have pointed this out. This has to be the result of someone at the design phase having some sort of misguided vision of the future of UI design or something along those lines. Someone had to PUSH for this to happen but I cannot possibly imagine why.

Definitely...since so many projects have done exactly that already. AlphaFold, ESMFold, Metagenomic Atlas, RoseTTAFold, etc. I'm pretty sure the technique is at the point these days that just about any protein structure of any interest can just be handed over to "AI" and it's as good as modeled.

This isn't a chicken or egg problem.

"La Presidenta" was *elected* in response to established hostility in the world against the US (including from inside the country) who has, historically, tried to do the right thing by everyone. He didn't try to hide his intentions until he got in office and then open up a big can of whoop ass he had hidden behind his back. He waved that can around in the air to make sure everyone KNEW what they were voting for. And they voted for it. You don't do that as a population unless you've had enough. Like...REALLY had enough and want to hit that big reset button for a minute; even if it means tanking the economy and taking the world with it for a few decades.

Anyone trying to claim all this distrust and lack of good will towards the US is brand new because "orange man bad" is just continuing to hide their heads in the sand IMO.

Hear hear! Even if we ignore who funds it, let's consider who runs it, who controls it...why would anyone in the world want all that power of information concentrated in the US? Especially when everyone in the world talks so much shit about the US on every front... Fine. Let's take our g'damn ball and go home. Nobody wants to be like that, but seriously, WTF? How much BS can anyone take before they finally just don't feel like playing anymore?

"But, but, there's gonna be disruption while new alternatives are developed"...yes. Correct. Rip the f'king bandaid off cause that's the only way anyone is actually going to make a change.
