macOS 15 Sequoia: The Ars Technica review
  • The good

    • Window tiling is good!
    • Small but useful changes to most apps that don't break anything that was already working.
    • Compatible with most of the same systems as macOS Sonoma was last year.

    The bad

    • Apple Intelligence is the tentpole feature, and none of it is ready yet.
    • Somewhat significant disk usage increase.
    • Window tiling isn't as flexible as it is in Windows 11.

    The ugly

    • Drops 2018/2019 MacBook Air for no great reason. Sure, the processor is slow, but it was also slow last year, and it did have an Apple T2.

  • Agreed with you. In Europe, there’s a superstition that gifting a knife can "cut" or sever a relationship. To avoid this, the person receiving the knife must give a coin—usually just a small one—back to the giver. This act symbolically "pays" for the knife, turning it into a purchase rather than a gift, and preventing any bad luck or harm to the friendship or relationship.

    It’s blend of practicality, tradition, and superstition.

  • One explanation ties this to a belief that closing a knife someone else opened can bring bad luck, or is considered bad manners. There’s also the practical side: if someone hands you an open blade, they’re entrusting you with a dangerous tool, and closing it before handing it back could suggest you don’t trust them to handle it properly.

    Allegations of staggering criminality by Boeing spelled out in complaint by whistleblower John Barnett, released by lawyers after his death
  • Red flags 🚩🚩🚩

    Years of “Performance Management” (PM) reviews cited in the lawsuit show Barnett was frequently being scolded for documenting issues on paper and in emails, and even, it seems, being too “knowledgeable.” In a July 2014 PM, cited in the lawsuit, a senior quality manager allegedly wrote, “John is very knowledgeable almost to a fault.” This “knowledge,” the manager wrote, “gets in the way at times when issues arise. John likes to be right and at times rechallenges issues that appear to [be] resolved at a round table.” In the same review, under the heading “Delivers Results,” Barnett, who prior to being transferred to South Carolina only received perfect scores, had received a 2 out of 5 score. This “Opportunity for Improvement” was because of his habit of documenting issues in writing. The PM noted that “John still needs to learn the art of F2F (‘face to face’) engagement to address and follow up on issues instead of using e-mail to express process violations.
