They made an incredibly complex and ahead-of-its-time OS. Too good for Microsoft to pull off. They weren’t even putting in all of their ideas (the most ambitious but complex ones were left on a sort of wishlist called Blackcomb), but they still wanted to have an OS with the following features ready for 2004:
.NET: A virtual machine in which apps didn’t need to worry about memory or concurrency
WinFS: Semantic filesystem with complex queries to manage everything with
Avalon: An XML-based user interface layer that allowed to dynamically, visually design UIs — even the desktop
Indigo: A network stack that allowed for easy network IPC with XML, allowing to further connect apps beyond WinFS
it was way too much for the Windows team, and eventually, they had to scrap tons of code and reset in August 2004
So Audacity has fucked the dog...
Because the problem remains, and ultimately somebody has to pay for it.
Always surprised me HOAs don't create some kind of collective cooperative credit union, so they can at least raise capital and have some mechanism for paying for it longer term. Maybe they do, idk
You don't have to have a crystal ball to work out that's not going to be reachable for most people. There must be a better way.
In the case of re-finishing a flat roof or painting the building, okay, but major repairs? Doesn't work. The special assessment for the building that collapsed apparently meant all residents paying 82000 USD.
The trouble is the method for dealing with maintenance projects in this condos, the so-called 'Special Assessment' is completely insane. Basically the residents have to collectively fund works.
Ths first of many, I am sure.

Medical
Had my chemo port removed today. Very fast procedure, much simpler than when it went in (which was general surgery).
Although it's local anaesthetic and painless I'd almost rather be asleep. The imagination is much worse than what is actually taking place. The weird sensations of tugging and pressure and the doctor's head just above your chest.
I am growing tired of security researchers digging out esoteric, difficult to execute exploits, releasing them with scary names and then reapng clout. It's utterly tedious.

OK, port done. Go test and let me know!
It should just work(TM) on all archs (where "all" might == "little endian").

Bluetooth audio implementations are weird. My wireless earbuds have this fade-in with every embedded audio file or web video. I don't understand why. My Bose headphones just play it like you'd expect.
The inimitable Marlon's Ducati Factory tour is absolutely brutal. I could barely get through it for laughing.
