Too many people are missing the point of actions like this. You want to make lives of everyone in Russia more unpleasant to send the signal that a war can’t be an easy PR win. If you start a war, it should suck for your citizens, even if they are watching the news from a safe distance. If your leader starts a war, your life will become worse and you will be poorer personally. Sure, this is less effective for authoritarian countries, but is still useful.
Of course most Github users from Russia aren’t guilty, and many of them are already against the war. Good for them! But that’s not the point.
It’s Chromium-based, so, of course, it’s slow. Specifically, search is excruciatingly slow, removing an album from your library redraws the whole page, and—most frustratingly— as soon as you lose internet connection, your perfectly nice and readable page get replaced with “Artist pages are not available offline”. It’s a list of tracks and albums which is updated (at most, on average) several times a year, why require connection to continue showing it?
Not Mac-specific, but extremely weird: sometimes Release Radar playlist has tracks by wrong artists with the same name. I don’t think a recommendation model would use names instead of IDs, so it probably means that track was first ascribed to a wrong artist, and that’s... even worse?
There’s a good reason why doctors have difficulties with rare diseases—which is, of course, the rarity itself.
In medical school, aspiring doctors spend a few minutes at most on these relatively unusual conditions.
It would be unethical to spend a lot of time studying these conditions while many more people suffer from the more frequent ones.
Sooner than later, we’ll be able to solve, say, depression reliably via pills or vaccines or whatever, and then more rare diseases will be studied much better (likewise, there was little point in spending much time on depression when smallpox was around).
You don’t need perfect measurements to make decisions.
Comparing times between browser-defined events in the same browser opening the same site on the same day is about the most apples-to-apples as you can get.
It’s two days if you live in the US. I don’t, so the CD will have to travel for weeks to finally get stuck at the customs in the airport—and CDs are much more fragile than MP3s or FLACs. Moreover, I don‘t have a single device to put this CD into.
The point about “text is too big” is really, really strange—using 12pt in print is okay, but you should never use it for a screen—everyone's reading from the screen from a much bigger distance, and resolutions are getting higher and higher.
Vladimir Voevodsky received Fields medal in 2002, so please note that it's not usual amateurish try to create new mathematics while knowing nothing about the old one.
What's really sad: most of the comments here either say “Teachers don't need to be good, that's OK, we should never change it or complain about it or even worry about it” or “We need more vivid descriptions of bullying until we can agree there's some problem”.
