It's disabled until you manually re-enable it. That documentation page's wording suggests otherwise, but that seems to just be an artifact of trying to really hammer in the advice that you should only keep it disabled temporarily

Whether it's a justified choice or not, for whatever reason, POSIX semaphores are very rarely used. macOS does not even support them (except for the named ones used for IPC). So pthread_cond_t is certainly 'the' API in term

POSIX semaphores were created as part of the older 'real-time extensions' aka POSIX.1b, whereas the pthread API was created slightly later as POSIX.1c. (Source: man pages, plus [1] for a list of standards.) [1] https://

Nitpick to the footnote about Pokémon: Harden is not a no-op. It increases the user’s defense stat. What makes wild Metapod helpless is that they only know Harden, rather than also having attacking moves.

I haven’t played Alyx, but I think you should try Boneworks. It has not just standard melee weapons, but also the ability to grab enemies with your hands and sort of grapple with them, based on a physics simulation. And it has other aspec

But how do you train it? If you're just training the AI to complete text, you can train it on any text. Your version sounds like it requires much more structured inputs.

Not reliably, no. But at least for this size of model, its capacity to memorize seems to be limited to works that are so popular that 'everyone' knows what they look like. And it also seems to generate them only when asked. So

But there are active USB-C extension cables, as well as hubs that connect with USB-C to the host and have at least one USB-C port to connect a device. Beyond that, forbidden as passive extension cables may be, there are dozens of brands

I think getting the high score for a 40-year-old arcade game is a perfectly fine hobby and a fine thing to take pride in. Certainly, if you check Twitch, record competition in single-player games draws plenty of viewership. The most popul

For one thing, it would be nice if every directory had a hash that covered all its contents (recursively), like Git tree objects. That way, all sorts of tools that need to check which files in a directory tree have changed – including `git

Don't know, but if you want to find out, `sudo spindump -onlyTarget coreaudiod` is a good starting point. You can also try `log stream --process coreaudiod --info --debug` to see if it's logging anything.

I’ve read my fair share of American legalese, and I haven’t seen either the phrase “permission to trademarks”, or the odd usage of the definite article. Combine that with the phrase “Tablets in USA” lower down (few Americans put the A in U

True - but then consider Discord instead. Similar userbase size, same decision to use Electron on desktop, but no bosses forcing people to use it (for the most part).

Until recently, Firefox was an inferior browser, at least on macOS where it did a bad job of fitting native UI conventions, had a much less secure sandbox than Chrome, and was also behind in performance. Seems like things have improved on

I don’t know. If someone was interviewing me and asked how they should stop interview fraud, I’m pretty sure I’d wonder if they were passive-aggressively accusing me of it. At the least I’d feel self-conscious. Which would probably not b
