It kinda seems like your example says more about the specific behavior of the MacGPG installer than about the general reliability of macOS's package database.

Oh totally... It's slightly surprising there's not an emergency evacuation procedure for people who work in the building that involves locking all devices that remain in the building via a hot-key or hot-corner. Come to think of

Wow, I did not realize Activity Monitor did that. QuickTime Player seems to have lost its dynamic icon, though. I've gotten to the point where I don't even use the dock anymore, it just stays hidden. Quite a long way from the go

There probably is, and it probably wasn't. There's a big difference between an office of someone who regularly meets with visitors and a room that is likely limited to a handful of people under controlled circumstances. It's

Reminds me of customizing WindowMaker's dock with system monitor widgets[1]. I wonder how quickly (or if at all) the macOS dock responds to changes to an app's icon... [1] https://www.dockapps.net/category/sys

It seems the huge and annoying "Why don't you join Github" banner is gone now, too. They must have eliminated the persistent cookie that clicking "Dismiss" presumably set. That banner was very frustrating for me,

I'm slightly surprised to not see any mention of materialized views. We're in the middle of a project in which we use file_fdw to provide an interface to CSV files which are replaced nightly, but we then also have indexed material

We implemented something like this on our own. We have child classes that inherit from an AR-backed parent, and on the parent we implement an instance method that transforms it (via #becomes) to the appropriate child based on the value of

Interestingly, that cable seems to use a 3-conductor (TRS) 3.5mm connector as opposed the usual 4-conductor one found on EarBuds. So I guess that implies it doesn't carry mic input?

Do either of those deal with YouTube ads? The old iOS ad blocker I've been clinging to has stopped blocking YouTube ads recently.

Ironically, coreutils introduced[1] a requirement to add `--no-preserve-root` to `rm -rf /` way back in 2003, so that particular example doesn't really support the counterpoint you're trying to make. EDIT: clarity [1]: https

Perhaps the concern in forking it would be that the group that creates the fork now has the responsibility of maintaining another project, on top of the project(s) they already maintain.

It's the lower tier MBP though - it replaces the "two port" one. The "four port" one is still Intel.

PCH provides the infrastructure for Quad9...so I don't think it makes sense to say that Quad9 is "relaying" DNS traffic to PCH/WoodyNet. There isn't some organizational boundary that's being crossed.
