That's true. However it is microarchitecture agnostic.

Assuming you're talking about PPC-to-x86, it was certainly usable, though noticeably slower. Heck, I used to play Tron 2.0 that way, the frame rate suffered but it was still quite playable.

Inflation is the first derivative. The rate of increase of inflation is the 2nd derivative. The idea that the rate of increase of deflation is itself decreasing would then be the 3rd derivative (think "the rate of the rate of increase

That's going to be very slow though, as it will read and write everything one byte at a time. The problem of course is that you can't specify seek/skip/count values as bytes unless your block size is 1 byte. If you don&#

No they didn't. Find by Name… still exists. It's ⌃⇧⌘F (ctrl-shift-cmd-F). You might have missed it because it's a dynamic menu item (Find turns into Find by Name… once you press ⌃⇧). Tip: Use the Help menu to search menu item

And would therefore have to follow the license of the code they took it from. That's exactly the point. Copilot is reproducing the same code but without the license.

Disabling link previews in high protection mode is more likely to be a combination of not issuing any network requests that could accidentally leak your IP, and being able to see the full URL so link previews can't pretend to be a diff

mdworker runs at background priority though, anything else using the CPU should preempt it.

Is it? Has anyone actually tested sending a QR code over iMessage? Because doing that does not generate a link preview, and so there is no reason for Messages.app to be decoding it and fetching the URL. If macOS really is background-scann

The docs also say these aren't meant to be used for performance tuning but instead of protecting against regressions if the schema changes. I guess the idea is once you're done and happy with performance you check the query plan f

Other package managers are okay with requiring sudo because they install stuff globally. Nix doesn't have that restriction, you can use it for local stuff, temporary shell environments, etc. So you need non-admin users to be able to us

Terminals are GUI apps. In theory there could be a protocol for telling the terminal everything it needs to know for accessibility, and then convincing all terminal emulators to actually implement this, but it sounds like a nightmare.

It's not one-sided though. Debt is often a very useful tool. You take on debt now because you can do more productive things with the money that will be worth more than the payments you have to make on it later. This is an extremely apt

According to the docs, the transaction release timeout is specified by the requester. The requester also specifies the duration to wait between retries and the maximum number of retries. So this does indeed appear to be exactly-once as long
