I agree with you. I'd go one step further and let it be the only mode available starting with new versions of the library.

I understand your point, especially for company websites whose products/services aren't oriented to the blind.

However, there are many companies with products/services that are just as much for the blind as the sighted (government, insurance, legal, medical, etc.) and many of them don't even make an attempt. The blind are still people and they should have equal access.

I'd like to connect with you offline for further conversation. I didn't see any contact information in your profile (and there's none currently in mine either).

There are a couple of different ways of using Ceph with a filesystem: (1) CephFS, or (2) RBD (Ceph block device) volume mounted and then create filesystem on the mounted RBD volume. Historically, the RBD approach would likely have been the more common of the 2. Which of these 2 ways were you referring to?

Still working on my web site quality assurance software. Getting close to private beta (hopefully very soon). Back end is written in Java and built with Javalin and Jsoup and persisted to PostgreSQL. Front end is JS/React. My back end crawls the designated website and for each page runs a number of analyzers to assess the quality across the following categories: accessibility, content quality (spelling, missing spaces between words, etc), performance, security, content policy (required phrases and forbidden phrases), site integrity, and seo. Each site can be configured to have its own custom dictionary (for spell checking). It's been a lot of fun and I'm looking forward to taking the wraps off it.

I have and use a Mac Pro 2013 too. Mine is 8 cores with 64 GB RAM. I haven't used mine for any LLM workloads, but it does just fine for most stuff. My biggest concern with it is the OS. I'm still running macOS (the latest supported version) but it's getting continually further out-of-date security wise all the time.

Agreed! I wish Apple was more thoughtful about generating so much e-waste. The Mac Pro Tower (2006-2012) is a great example of where I thought they might have been on the right track.

What are some of your favorite CDs from the 80s regarding sound quality?

I once bought an Apple XServe and had the same experience. I sometimes don't always learn my lesson though. Years later I bought a Dell tower server. It wasn't as bad as a rack server, but still too much heat and noise. It's been sitting unplugged in my office ever since with my stereo components sitting on top of it.

I think it depends on the type of tool. If it's a specialty tool that I don't expect to use more than once or twice, I'll go for cheaper model. On the other hand, if it's something that I expect to use a lot then buying a quality tool (possibly used) is the better route. All of my cordless power tools are Makita but my 2 Makita drills were both bought used. For hand tools like combination wrenches and sockets my default route is used SK Tools bought at yard sales, pawn shops, eBay.

My Bose QC15 headphones (bought around 2009) are probably my best tech purchase ever. I've had to replace the foam ear pad pieces twice, but otherwise they're fantastic. These are wired (no bluetooth).

A number of years ago I decided that I had enough of iTunes and that I needed to handle my digital music collection myself.

Your first paragraph made me laugh. I'm that old too. We also regularly rode in the bed of pickup trucks, especially coming home from a baseball game.

Playground equipment today is very different. No merry-go-round, see-saws, monkey bars, etc. Even the swing sets are not always there.

Right! It's the combination of new laws/regulations and the higher likelihood of litigation when kids get hurt.

On the other hand, there are plenty of parents who completely neglect their kids. We don't want that either.

I too grew up in the be home for dinner generation and am very grateful for having lived it.

One of the comments I sometimes make to others when this topic comes up is that I'm glad that cell phones and the Internet didn't exist when I was a kid. Why? Because I likely would have missed out on the best parts of being a kid. Boredom was great. We would then find something non-boring to do, such as: ride bikes, play basketball/football/baseball, swim, listen to music, ride go carts, and so on.

Kudos to you -- much respect. I was an adult leader when my son was a Scout and I went on a number of weekend campouts and 1 week of Scout summer camp. One of the big challenges I saw was to get the boys to leave their electronics behind. Nevertheless, we had some really fun outings and the boys were able to enjoy the outdoors.
