This article needs an editor the way that Austen Allred needs a conscience.

> Transitive is providing the engine used in Apple's Rosetta software, which translates software for its current machines using PowerPC processors so it can run on forthcoming Intel-based Macintoshes. "We've had a long-term relationship with them," Transitive Chief Executive Bob Wiederhold said Tuesday.

Thank you for the correction. For those wanting to know more, the technology was called QuickTransit.

Rosetta 2 may have been developed in-house, though. That bit isn’t yet clear.

The article is boring and repetitious. I love a well-written long read. This isn’t.

Bad writing? Maybe the article was edited or processed to show more ads?

Interesting story told poorly in an atrocious UI.

> I don’t really like the idea of blaming others for one’s lack of curiosity about a subject… I’m the one who changed, not the way plate tectonics are taught.

100% agree.

The author seems to be arguing that it’s someone else’s duty to point out what’s interesting. I suppose a essayist or columnist needs to believe something along those lines.

Who needs someone else to tell them what’s interesting?! Isn’t “Golgi apparatus” enough to get you going? If you’re relying on a teacher—or some blogger,for that matter—-to call out everything that’s worth finding out about, you’re going to miss a lot of stuff & most of the really good stuff.

I’d like to see Chris Nolan follow-up “Oppenheimer” with “George (Marshall)” and “(William) Knudsen”

At least those that talk publicly about company culture. It feels performative and inauthentic, but maybe that's necessary to compete? They are selling culture surveillance technology of some sort.

Reminds me of mandates to get more on the engineering blog: makes an organic, authentic good into something performative.
