@fgtech Yeah, that wouldn't surprise me. This is a thing in quite a few retail chains.
@artkavanagh Ah, thanks. Will update the post. I've been running into a lot of annoying micro.blog bugs lately.
@jl\_siewert It's my go-to PDF app on the iPad.
@klandwehr Yeah, I can imagine that.
@edsu That's a long-standing Icelandic tradition :-)
@fgtech True.
@pkra Some form of opt-in by users would be nice, yeah. And it's pretty likely that Apple will continue to work on this so fingers crossed.
@Miraz My pleasure!
@pkra Hah! Yeah, that as well.
@zap Oh, I didn't know that. I love the new Mickey Mouse Shorts.
Exactly! Like he says at the end, he's broken all of these rules himself at one point or another. Sensible defaults which you only change when you have a good reason to :-)
@peter It's kind of amazing how little progress has been made in laptop hardware design. And in the case of the MacBook Pro, clear regression even.
@Miraz It is, isn't it? Definitely has a few thoughts in there that will be useful at one point or another.
@vincent Yeah, same. I wouldn't care if I wasn't a fan.
@pkra Haha, yeah. That happens too. Also frequent is suddenly getting updates when a domain expires and the old blog gets replaced with a spam blog.
But in this case I know a few blogs that never really stopped, just became more sporadic. Not many. But they do exist.
@Miraz My pleasure!
@odd Yeah. Sometimes problems just don't have easy solutions. Even so, knowing about the problem is always helpful :-)
@AlanRalph I never got into the habit of using the Reading List. I should try that again.
@AlanRalph Exactly!
@jack Thanks. I did not know this was possible. Trying it now.
@kusters Thanks! Trying that out now.
@fgtech I do love that photo :-)
@peter That's a good point. I had wondered about the patches. Usually when you see those in these circumstances that's a recipe for either divergence or substantial lag.
@jack I disagree. Cliffhangers in serial storytelling always imply continuation, even when an actual continuation isn't on the cards. Ambiguous endings don't imply further stories but instead refuse to resolve specific threads in the story, leaving it up to the viewer/reader.
You could do ten more seasons of Watchmen without ever resolving the question left by this ending, if you wanted to keep the mystery. You don't need to resolve it to continue the story in that world. It is intentional ambiguity and you could choose to maintain in future stories. That usually isn't an option with cliffhangers.
This has much more in common with the ending to Sopranos than a cliffhanger.
IMHO, and all that :-)
@baldur Also, here's a thought experiment that I'd like people to try whenever they read an article on scaling, management, growth etc:
Is this coming from an organisation whose product manifestly got worse as it grew?
If so, take everything written with a grain of salt.
