You should also check out bpftrace which is a specific DSL to write both the kernel and userspace part in one language - rather than the mixed python/C approach people mostly took before that. And you can output things potentially as t

It removes some specific types of security, but System Integrity Protection is a "runtime" protection on OSX. It disables access to various files/etc even as root unless in the right context. So it seems unfortunate to have t

Seems unfortunate that to boot something unsigned you have to disable SIP, e.g. once we have a working linux port (I'm sure it won't be long) to enable booting it will reduce my OSX security at runtime [and not just from the boot

If you watch the WWDC keynote that’s literally what they are doing. You can write one set of code that adapts to iPhone/iPad/Mac and use the native sizes and tools for both.

The floppy drive controller chip costing and being better than the main CPU reminds me of some of my arduino projects. For example I was driving a GSM Modem (over serial) which contained a comparatively advanced ARM SoC driving it.. from an

Interestingly. In Australia there is 0 tax difference between being married or having been in a relationship for 6 months. It’s considered the same. Otherwise people would never get married :)

Also only a single external display (6K@60Hz) for the MacBook Air and MacBook Pro as per the tech specs, which is a deal breaker for me. The Mac Mini supports one on thunderbolt also and a second at 4K 60Hz that has to be on the HDMI port.

One of the technical problems with directory mappings in snaps is that a directory has to exist in order for you to mount to it, and snaps use a read-only filesystem so can't mount to a directory not already pre-created in snaps. Howev

You shouldn't get a new prefix - it should be static from your ISP, and your IP shouldn't be changing, so you don't need DynDNS per-client and can just add a static entry to a hosted DNS zone file somewhere that shouldn'

I’ve heard that story before and it was effectively centered on the fact that each year was a proportionally smaller part of your life as you get older. But feels like it wouldn’t be hard for that long term sense of time to be fairly discon

I suspect that's a bit of an over-assertion as it's mostly working fine for me on two different Intel machines. Would be great to link to a bug or some more info and it's something that could very likely be backported if it&#

Somewhat tangentially related Apple said in their keynote that the iPhone Pro LIDAR will be used for autofocus in low light. Which is a problem I have experienced - I have found for low light sometimes easier to take a video with the flash

This is a common confusion for most countries with tax-inclusive pricing versus the US tax-exclusive system.

I read they got kicked off the NTP pool, but it's not the only way to enumerate IPv6 sources. There are many different ways to significantly reduce the search space including looking only at announced prefixes, searching common IPv6 ad

It's worth noting that here in Australia cars have no such method, and you are not allowed to put a car seat in the front seat. Equally when travelling as best I can tell all European cars have a method to do this and you can install i

I think this is an intentional driver setting to avoid false touches/moves on crappy hardware. You can likely tweak it but I think that’s entirely the sort of thing the post author was trying to work on. I believe there is also a tweak

OS X managed to solve this using the standard file browser API grants access to the file. That’s a little more challenging on Linux though perhaps not impossible.

Right and the 16" MacBook Pro has an AMD Radeon Pro GPU. So NVENC is not going to work. AMD has an equivalent "Video Coding Engine" (VCE) which is supported through "Video Toolbox" (an apple API) as mentioned by ano

There are "Condenser" dryers that pump the water into a drain hose or water tub (that you need to empty) instead of into the air - that are still otherwise resistive. Then there are "Heat Pump" dryers that operate with a

"Heat Pump Dryers" which you describe have come way down in price in the last few years. Under $1000 AUD / $715 USD now. Note for the other commentators that there are also "Condenser" dryers that pump the water int

Curiously the "GST" in Australia (which is a similar type of tax) has a similar thing, $75,000 AUD+ per year before you need to register. Unless you're a taxi driver, when you need to register regardless. They carved that out

This is sadly a problem with cheap and/or crappy induction cook tops. And it is quite annoying. One of those little traps that it's often hard to know about in advance.
