sorryitstrue | 5 years ago | on: MacOS Catalina: Slow by Design?

An issue I've been dealing with forever on my mbp 2013 is the machine just pausing input for 2-4 secs (video and audio don't hitch, just keyboard/mouse input).

I recently took the trouble to completely wipe the disk and reinstall macos mojave and it's still happening so it's not due to cruft installed over time in OSX. I dunno. I'll deal with it until it gives up the ghost and probably move to a windows machine with the work they're putting into WSL2

Interesting that you interpreted this as a correction and not support of your point

I don't think this was a statistical statement, it's colloquial. We're not at the beginning, it's not right at the end, we're "in the middle"

One thing I wish you could do is have two different copies of an input - in my case, I wanted a video stream input (webcam) where I apply one set of filters to it for one scene, and a different set of filters to another scene. Seems like filters are globally applied to the instance, and you can't have two different scene elements with the same video input device.

sorryitstrue | 6 years ago | on: The sad state of personal data and infrastructure

My point is, people's minds aren't caught up to the scale of data, and I don't think there is a technology solution for it. We now have more data and more technology but it's not solving the problem.

Hell I don't always know where I'm going to put all the groceries I take home.

EDIT - to add - too much data isn't really useful. When we are talking personal data collection it's basically a librarian's job, which is non-trivial

Pretend we didn't have computers and people wanted to store all the facts in their lives - how many people could manage a library / filing system rich enough to catalog the level of information we're expecting to keep here?

FF is significantly better on OSX battery than it was in the past (since v70 I believe).. however Safari is still king. I never fire up Chrome anymore on my Macbook

Can't wait to compare this to Safari, which I don't like but is dramatically gentler on my macbook's battery.

I like you analogy if in your story, the inventors of CRISPR can exert some sort of power or control over the actors who are engineering a super-virus and thus make a moral decision to do so or not

I am suffering silently through using Safari.. might this be the end?

Now canada can become the shipping hub for epackets and it can be forwarded to US addresses from there. Good opportunity for someone.
