       My bank won’t allow me to send a #Zelle payment with a “/“ character in the memo field. This brings up many questions about the competence of this service.

       @foone The force of acceleration would turn the passengers into plasma, so that’s one downside

       @hpcnotes If rather have two oxen than a million chickens to plow a field. The overhead of marshaling a million chickens to a task would dwarf their benefit.

       Our firmware build depends on Windows, inexplicably. And probably perl5 on Windows.

       @phoronix Not surprising that Linus doesn’t understand that file names are intended for humans.

       @phoronix 16 cores per memory channel is still a pretty bad ratio

       @Alice That’s like $16, a lot of money to spend for someone who wasn’t even your close friend then.

       @Gte Multi-architecture (fat) binaries are really two or more mach-o binaries wrapped together with a lipo header. I don’t think they can share any common segments, even if the linker were smart enough to do that. There’s no reason you can’t stuff two or more PE (windows) binaries in the same way. The fact that Microsoft chose not to do this is some unfathomable bad internal decision, not a technical one.

       This is #Mac OS Panther, released in 2004. Its UI has many things wrong with it (and is not pretty). But what it does well is a strong and obvious distinction between controls and data. Buttons and borders are clearly defined. Icons are immediately recognizable, even zoomed out and tiny like in this picture. No transparency or blending. Scroll state always obvious through visible bars.What this adds up to is reduced cognitive load when using the interface. Everything is plain, you can find a thing immediately. This is a stark contrast to #macOSTahoe and the many poor decisions in that UI.

       Why aren’t you using #PHP as a #C preprocessor?

       TLDR: Logitech let a cert expire, which for some reason makes their mouse stop working (if you have their configuration app installed). Having your mouse stop working due to network issues seems like a very bad design flaw to me, not just an “oops”. https://mastodon.online/@9to5Mac/115854286169233649
