It finally fixed the tab bugs in MacOS 27 that had a beta release in June.
I bet you that China, Russia and the UK rank higher

So he proved there is life after death. He sent the key 76 years later, just had to help invent chatbots first

Doesn't feel good slipping into irrelevance does it. This dude was complaining about having no funding and planning to leave the US just a few years ago, now he's all over the place giving talks and lecturing people about AI. He's got the classic case of epistemic trespassing

I don't use homebrew for speed. I use it for trust

Yes, it is proving something actually happened, that is your monitor screen showing something you photographed.

How about you paste a replacement link that works just as well with your comment on telling others what to use
"Smart"? Have you read his writings in the last decade? It's all nonsense, which is why I stopped reading circa 2018

I feel like most cases of wait times are due to elevators "waiting" empty in the wrong floor. They either all wait in the bottom floor, or all wait where they were last left at. Would be better if their waiting floors were distributed throughout the floors so that first response is fast.

Leading with: "identifies a new way to attack round-reduced AES, the most widely used symmetric cipher"

First thing I thought when reading the title was "is this about those never ending self-help books?"

Re:DKIM2 and DMARCbis Have Landed on Wednesday July 08, 2026 @09:56PM (#48839982)
> Isn’t that already what DMARC does though? For DMARC to pass you need DKIM _or_ SPF alignment, not both.

But now if SPF passes and is aligned, DMARC passes (it doesn't matter what DKIM's status is). OP here wants to complete skip the SPF check entirely.
