@tfb the very first one had only two usb ports, and shipped with 10.3. the refresh with four ports shipped with 10.4.
@aza_leah if it’s not a named location on the map (like a business), long-press on the screen, and it will show the lat/long at the top (in the search box) and a popup at the bottom will have directions, share, etc. buttons.
I have a first gen mini, and I remember trying it out on that.
@Preston a friend posted about http://atulgawande.com/book/the-checklist-manifesto/ a couple of days ago. have you read it?
@njoseph with go, yes. once i’ve already written the code to download sequentially and tested it, it takes 10-15 minutes to adapt it to use goroutines as a worker pool.
on the elixir side, there’s GenServer and GenStage. GenServer is very easy to set up, akin to doing it with goroutines in go. GenStage took a couple of tries the first time i used it, but i think i understand it now. it’s more generalized than simple goroutines or threads; using a GenServer would’ve been a lot easier to use, but it didn’t do all i needed for my project.
I have a desktop with an Nvidia GPU, with HDMI output (windowmaker, though using the normal gdm session manager, Ubuntu 18.04). I use pavucontrol to set the output to my headphones whenever it boots up (defaults to line-out with HDMI audio disabled). but, whenever screen blanking kicks in, something Nvidia-related (I suspect) re-enables HDMI output for audio, and uses that instead of the headphones.
I bought a laptop earlier this year that runs stock gnome (Ubuntu 20.04). my son uses it for his online classes once a week. no matter what devices he plugs in -- USB headphones, something in the headphones jack, etc. -- it never messes up like my desktop. he also has three possible microphone inputs (laptop, external webcam, USB headphones) and it always remembers the last selected device.
MS-Windows, like fossil-fuelled transportation, is something undesirable, but difficult to avoid without separating from mainstream society.

The Right Leadership
Great teams benefit from great leadership, to help everyone gel and drive forward together. One aspect of that leadership was sheltering Android and running it like a startup inside the big mothership of Google. Another aspect was having decisions being made by a single person, not by a group of people.
San Mehat said, “Much like Apple, it really helped to have that visionary asshole type. The one person. Not a committee. Not five people. One person that was like, ‘This is the way I want it, and that’s the way it’s going to be and I don’t care.’
“Having a single person at the top making these decisions resulted in the team and the product continuing to move toward the goal. It was making a decision, even if it’s not the right one, but just a decision to move the ball forward. You can’t steer if you’re not moving.”
> Android wanted to fix this problem with Android Market. They wanted a store that anyone could upload apps to. Michael Morrissey, who was leading the services team on Android, told Nick Sears his goal: “I want a fourteen-year-old kid sitting in Kansas to be able to write an app in the morning and upload it in the afternoon to Android Market and have it go out to sell to all the customers.”
An investigation by Connecting Vets reveals how a loosening of the Rules of Engagement in Afghanistan during the Trump administration designed to put pressure on the Taliban resulted in far more civilian casualties. The following article is based on over two dozen interviews with drone pilots, military lawyers, Air Force Joint Terminal Attack Controllers (JTACs), as well as journal entries and footage from drones in 2019 obtained by Connecting Vets.
