That was the point of Tog's conclusion: edges of the screen have infinite target size in one cardinal direction, corners have infinite target size in two cardinal directions. Any click target that's not infinite in comparison, has

And in my experience, when people moved from Windows to the Mac they're so annoyed that there are differences. When I try to explain that these were present in the Mac long before Windows, people start to understand.

Since OS X 10.3 (2003) Control+F2 moves focus to the Apple menu. The arrow keys can then select any menu item which is selected with Return or canceled with Escape. Command+? will bring you to a search box in the Help menu. Not only that, a

How about, if your taxable income exceeds some multiple of the median income of your district, you are no longer eligible to represent them. It’s pretty amazing how much a representative’s income grows once they take public service positio

I read that last phrase as if one were on their death bed and called out to the grim reaper, “Wait! I haven’t read War & Peace yet!” At which point the reaper sighs and vows to return when you’ve finished.

About 20 years ago I used Cyrillic confusables to watermark internal documentation that was being leaked by a disgruntled customer service employee. The document would dynamically render and include the employee ID based encoded as bits in

That’s what PATH_MAX is. It’s the size of the buffer used for paths - commonly 4096 bytes. You can’t navigate directly to a path longer than that, but you can navigate to relative paths beyond that (4096 bytes at a time).

I don’t think most modern file systems have any limit to the depth of nested directories, that’s not how directory trees work. There are other limits like the number of objects in the file system. The ability to reference an arbitrary path

Yeah, this never made sense to me and I’ve suggested it to the district, especially for lower grades. They will never block all of the websites they need to unless they block all of the websites. Allow teachers to unblock specific sites for

It’s pedantic, but in the malloc example, I’d put the defer immediately after the assignment. This makes it very obvious that the defer/free goes along with the allocation. It would run regardless of if malloc succeeded or failed, but

It’s really a shame. May last “favorite” MacBook was from 2013 where everything was upgradable. I bought the fastest Core processor with the lowest everything else and upgraded to 16GB of RAM, SSD (granted at SATA speeds) and a second data

They’ve proven themselves to be bad actors with no moral compass. No different than street drug dealers, casinos, traffickers, or any other predatory industry. They should’ve regulated as such. I don’t have any problem with old-timey “Dishs

Do you feel like the current Apple engineering orgs either don’t understand the philosophy that came from NeXT or has the world changed and some of those choices are no longer possible? For example, until a decade ago, macOS was extremely s

I’ve tried to explain this before and unless you’re steeped in late binding, encapsulation, and message passing, the details are lost on most people (it seems including modern language designers). For the GP, in most languages the dot or ar

If you would be able to withdraw (you wouldn’t be able to) that money has to come from somewhere, and that somewhere is from other people who were scammed. No one is going to get beaten because of your interactions with scammers. They’re go

What is Apple’s QA process? Do they rely on some random set of manual tests that may or may not get run each release? There have been so many things that seem like one of the most valuable companies in the world would include in tests, but

Amazon doesn’t just fulfill Amazon.com orders. Anyone can send inventory to Amazon and use them for fulfillment on their own e-commerce platform. The distributors don’t know Amazon is going to be fulfilling orders from several of their reta

I worked on Prime and Delivery Experience until 2013 and commingling was considered relatively taboo due to the destruction of customer trust that would likely result. It was an obvious optimization. There was already an issue with return f

Odd that your site would show macOS looking window for a product with an identical name to a major feature and app that’s been part of macOS since OS X[0]. You may run into some friction trying to launch native apps in the Apple ecosystem t

I really liked the Wii interface as a TV interface. It felt very much like a modern way to navigate a TV. Modern TVs have some of those features, but none with the whimsy and fun of the Wii.

It doesn’t have anything to do with bash (though modern bash may use a built in for `[`). He don’t have the `[` program (usually linked to `test`).

I typically use make for this and feel like I’m constantly clawing back scripts written in workflows that are hard to debug if they’re even runnable locally. This isn’t only a problem with GitHub Actions though. I’ve run into it with every
