From http://dtrace.org/blogs/ahl/2016/06/19/apfs-part5/ : "Explicitly not checksumming user data is a little more interesting. The APFS engineers I talked to cited strong ECC protection wi

My (limited) understanding of APFS is that it forgoes some integrity checks on the assumption that they have already been done by lower-level hardware. This is of course a debatable design decision, but it may indeed be unwise to use APFS o

Social for the sake of "social" would indeed be bad, but features that actually help you discover new music via friends would be good.

Yes, I would like to see more social features that aren't tied to Facebook. I know it's not their core competency, but it's odd that the Friends feature requires FB even though they support "standard" non-FB user ac

+1 for SomaFM: Ambient music mixed with the sounds of San Francisco public safety radio traffic: http://somafm.com/sf1033/ I also recommend their DEF CON channel, which has (usually humorous) snippets from various talk

Yep. I love my late 2013 15" (typing on it now), but also use a late 2016. They're both great machines, and there were controversial things about the 2012-era models at the time (soldered RAM, proprietary PCI connector for the SSD

The connections are standard mini-DisplayPort, which is still very much a thing. As is the Thunderbolt 1/2 protocol over those connections (in the audio world, for example)

Agreed, and I don't understand the hate many people (seem to) have for them - the most ergonomic keyboards are those that require the least amount of repetitive motion. Not that there isn't an adjustment period, but some seem to p

I agree it should be mentioned on that page too ("up to" would probably get them out of any false advertising claims). It's doubly confusing because there are 13" models with only 2 ports vs 4.

+1 for SourceTree, mostly for the per-line committing. Curious what about it makes you unhappy; it's always done what I've asked with minimum fuss.

I tend to agree but think some developers do consider certain software "finished" and a subscription model adds undue pressure. Whether that model makes sense really depends on the type of software, its user base and the develop

Another anecdotal data point: This has not been my experience at all. Its recommendations have gotten more obscure as I've liked/plussed those kind of things. It's more likely that you're encountering the limits of Spoti
