Went to look at the weather forecasts for Chicago, since I’ll be visiting my sister there soon. Based on the past several weeks, my primary concern was snow and ice on the drive over. Instead, they’re promising warm dry weather with high winds and a chance of firestorms.

Guess I’d better pack a water type…

A village is missing their idiot…

Ilya Somin is perhaps the most reliably wrong commentator in what can laughably be called the “libertarian” gang at Reason, but this one takes it to a new level:

“If, as Musk says, the U.S. was all about English/Scots-Irish culture, there would have been no need for the American Revolution. The British Empire was dominated by those groups.”

Jaw-dropping ignorance from someone who claims the authority to lecture on law and liberty.

Apple, on the other hand, has plenty of them

Years ago, someone at Apple broke the keyboard shortcuts for switching between windows in Terminal.app. My suspicion has been that it had something to do with adding tab support and setting the app to default to using those shortcuts for tab-switching by default.

Someone finally filed a bug with a simple, clear repeat-by: hide the app. That’s it. Hide the windows just once, and they all lose their shortcuts. And I’m sure that the tiny handful of QA testers left for MacOS have never tested non-default behaviors.
