Why is it so much harder to write something again after your computer or program or whatever lost it? (don't ask)
FireWire heavily influenced the development of the Thunderbolt spec and made SO much possible that USB just couldn’t do at the time. Rest in peace, FireWire.
Talk about the end of an era. I’m sad about this even though I haven’t used FireWire in several years. I have all the Thunderbolt to FireWire adapters and MANY FireWire hard drives in my office closet.
I edited MANY films, documentaries, promos, short-form content, long-form content, you name it, on FireWire hard drives on various Mac Pros, MacBook Pros, PowerMacs, and Powerbooks.

Steve Jobs philosophy: don’t skate to where the puck is, skate to where it will be.
Cook’s philosophy: HOLD THE PUCK HERE AT ALL COSTS DO NOT ADAPT TO THE MARKET OR WHAT PEOPLE WANT STRANGLE THE MARKET
This is a good time to remind everyone that I always thought Tim Cook was the wrong choice for CEO and Schiller was the obvious successor to Steve.
Cook being the wrong choice has become more and more obvious over time.

Judge Yvonne Gonzalez Rogers Rules, in Excoriating Decision, That Apple Violated Her 2021 Court Order Regarding App Store Anti-Steering Provisions
Are the results of this disastrous for Apple’s App Store business? I don’t think so at all. Gonzales Rogers is demanding that Apple ... do what Phil Schiller recommended they do all along. But are the results of this disastrous for Apple’s reputation and credibility? It sure seems like it.
`tar` and Symlinks. Or: How to fix a failing Docker build that relies on extracting tar contents into a directory that exists as a symlink
I've worked with dates and times in several programming languages, and I have to say that the best is easily PHP (since the big refactor in, what was it, 5.6?).
The worst is easily Javascript.

2. John, the reboots are a pale shadow of ST, all flash, no substance. PALE SHADOW! 🤪 Into Darkness is ABYSMAL! Beyond is easily the best of the three 🤦♂️

@atpfm @marcoarment @caseyliss @siracusa Re: ATP Movie Club. I think I was (as usual) frustrated with each of you at some point, but I can’t decide if it’s surprising or unsurprising that I was most frustrated with John.
Many things I could say, but I’ll just do two.
1. Casey is correct: VI is generally considered the second best ST movie. II is indeed generally considered the best (both written and directed by Nick Meyer).
