And its binary is banned on certain macOS installations. I have two identical mac minis with the very same OS version. On one cron runs, on the other the cron binary doesn't run (killed: 9) even if I re-sign the binary in different location with my own codesigning identity. It's that banned.
Why would Apple "ban" a binary they ship with the OS? If I just run /usr/sbin/cron on my Apple Silicon Mac, the output is "Killed: 9" but if I actually create a crontab for a user, it works.
That's fascinating. I'd love to see a shasum tree of both OS installs to know if this was due to some path-dependent upgrade sequence one of the machines went through; or whether this is down to some sub-model-number hardware-component stepping issue with power efficiency or something, that only one of the machines is affected by, where the implemented launchd solution is "don't let cron run."
The one machine where cron was working, had crontabs prior to upgrade to 15.x. The other had none.
I have googled back then and discovered that yes Apple specifically want us to suffer with their braindamaged launchd instead of cron, and thus they went to extraordinary lengths to get rid of working tools.
Anyway, cron is easy to rebuild from sources, so that's what I did.
I think proportion is more useful that quantity. 66% of housing units (that's all forms of housing, not just single-family homes) have a garage or carport. Also, given that there are ~145 million housing units, 60 million would be a bad situation.
> most are within 100 miles of a fast DC charger
That's not good enough. No one can spend 3-4 hours to drive 200 miles round trip, or even 100 miles, to charge quickly.
There needs to be a good solution for the 33% of households that don't have access to EV charging as part of their home. Until it becomes really plentiful, part of the solution may involve fast charging that only the 33% can use or that favors the 33%; people who can charge overnight at home should charge overnight at home.
Fast chargers colocated at grocery stores people shop at at least weekly are a solution, Tesla did this (Meijer partnership), as did Electrify America. Walmart is rolling out charging at most of their US stores. Home charging is a solution, but so is workplace level 2 charging.
Can you charge at home? Do so. Can you charge at work? Do so. Can you charge at a grocery store or other location your task will take longer than the charging? Do so. This works for most Americans, while charging infrastructure continues to be rapidly deployed. The gaps will be filled, how fast is a function of will and investment.
Chargers at grocery stores and other places of public accommodation that have lots of parking and customers who stay a while are good options. I don't know how many are enough; even fast chargers take orders of magnitude longer to use than a gas pump.
At least in the midwest very few grocery stores have fast charging. Usually the fast chargers are along highways on the outskirts of cities, and even then they’re almost always at gas stations.
Agreed. However, the number of people who live 100+ miles from a fast charger rounds to zero. Something like 85-90% of the US population lives within a metro area, and even in the least "EV friendly" states probably has a fast charger within 10-20 miles at most.
And that would be OK as a clue if Silverstein was a red herring, Grizzly was also a children's author and Scarry sounded like scary (and also meant something in the same ballpark as Gory, Grim, and Grisly)
Safari (desktop and mobile) also has tracker blocking built in. "Prevent cross-site tracking" and "Hide IP address from trackers" are two settings it has; I think the first is checked by default, I don't remember about the other.
In the DevTools network pane, it shows requests to known trackers, like Google Tag Manager, being blocked.
Try using Amazon in Safari sometime (in Lockdown Mode, no less): non-stop ads (some which flash), sponsored results dominating the first page of search, random Dufus pop-ups forcing AI. You can hide "distracting" elements but they just appear again later. Safari is not a user-friendly browser.
Safari is my default browser. I don't know what "Dufus" means, I don't recall any A.I. references. On Amazon, it's all first-party stuff, what browser blocks that natively? It seems like you're comparing using Safari without an ad blocker to a different browser with an ad blocker.
I know the most popular ad blocking extensions don't make a Safari version but there are ad blockers for Safari.
I don't get any of that in Safari or any other browser. "Rufus" is just a button in the main navigation, between "All" and "Same-day delivery" that I ignore. On individual product pages, there's "Ask Rufus" stuff in a couple of pages but it's no worse than other content I scroll past and seems just like previous features that didn't have a named AI identity.
Yes, the tabs in a tabs pattern should be keyboard navigated using arrow keys (ironically not the Tab key).
Also, the summary for the currently open details element will have the wrong state, 'expanded' instead of 'selected'. And while a set of details can now have a maximum of one open at a time, you can't ensure exactly one is always open (without JavaScript) as the tabs pattern requires.
