I’m not trying to “resolve their issue”, I’m casting doubt on the OP’s story as presented.

> I, too, have gotten "do you still want to receive messages from this person" popup after removing a conversation. It exists. That sounds like “do you want to block this person”, not “do you want to mark this as spam”. Block

I had the same reaction, but upon reflection, the reject/filter actions themselves aren’t what’s safe, it’s the usage of functions that accept unsanitized input and safely wrap the SQL that’s going on here.

I’m really confused. 1. There is no quick action to report as spam, so how is it even being triggered? 2. You regularly delete your conversation with your wife? 3. It seems implausible that Apple would disable someone’s iMessage account bas

Do Big Sur updates really take longer to install? I’ve been putting off installing a Catalina update on my laptop because my impression is they take ~45 minutes to install, which is what this article claims Big Sur updates take.

In Git you don’t have to actually commit, you can use the staging area. It’s something I do rather often. I’m going to make a non-trivial change and I’m not sure if it’s the right approach, so I `git add -A` first, make my change, and then

Vim is the only editor I’ve used that has a branching undo model. I know there’s a UX problem there but I don’t understand why more editors don’t support this.

The only reason you wanted to use “async” was because of micro-optimization on thread context switches?

Offsets from GMT/UTC are annoying when you have to deal with DST though, as it can be confusing to remember which offset applies at any given point in time.

There’s also https://vim-adventures.com/ which is a neat way of learning Vim by playing a game.

I’m really hoping this rumor is false. I want the 13” M1 MBP scaled up to 16”. I don’t want an SD card, F keys, MagSafe, or any of the rest of that.

If future Rust versions do make semantic changes to existing language constructs, that will presumably only apply to crates built with the new edition, and crates built with the old will get the old semantics. If we’re talking ABI-level stu

Rust has “Editions”, which are points where they can make breaking changes as programs and crates (libraries) have to opt-in to the new edition, and you can mix crates from different editions. So if they need to make backwards-incompatible

A run-only AppleScript shouldn’t be fundamentally any harder to detect than any other form of compiled binary. Does this just mean that security researchers and antivirus tools simply haven’t paid attention to run-only AppleScripts as a vec

I suspect the number of macOS machines on networks with misconfigured DNS is far higher than the number of macOS machines whose admins want to prevent them from talking to Apple. So I’m glad they’re going to great lengths to preserve thei

Tcl is one of my favorite scripting languages to work in. It’s wonderful in the simplicity of the core language and how you can write things that act like keywords as just pure Tcl. I’d love to see Tcl gain some modern sensibilities like cl

You make it sound so sinister, but yes of course Apple will use IPv6 if that’s the only (or best) route. That’s a good thing. Where does “constantly freezes” come from? You didn’t mention that in your linked post. And if your computer “cons

The way dispatch_time_t currently works, having the high bit (bit 63) 0 means based on uptime (or mach_absolute_time()), having bits 63 and 62 both set to 1 means based on the wall clock, and the addition here is having 63 set to 1 and 62 s

by lilyball 6y ago
I was actually misremembering a bit. Sufficiently old versions of mach_absolute_time used a function called clock_get_time() on i386 (if the COMM_PAGE_VERSION was not 1). This changed in macOS 10.5 to a tiny bit of assembly that just read f

Do you have any insight as to why libdispatch added support for this new clock internally (in the last year or two), but did not expose it in any public API? In C I can manually construct a dispatch_time_t that will use make libdispatch use

by lilyball 6y ago
It was added some years ago, and I believe mach_absolute_time is actually now implemented in terms of (the implementation of) clock_gettime. The documentation on mach_absolute_time now even says you should use clock_gettime_nsec_np(CLOCK_UP

Is it possibly exposed via sysctl, which does support a flag to list all variables?

My understanding is the poorly-worded emails are deliberate, to act as a filter to get rid of the folks who are unlikely to fall for the scam. This means the scammer isn't wasting time talking to these folks when they'll never pay

It should in fact have an effect on real-world code. It looks like sloc in general doesn't handle nested block comments, so any source file that uses nested block comments will be counted incorrectly by sloc.

iOS saves screenshots of tabs. I scrolled through my own and found a bunch of old tabs (didn't realize I had so many) that just showed pure black. macOS saves screenshots too, to show when hovering over a tab. Curiously, it doesn'

They almost certainly did it as a joke. If they had some other motivation they wouldn't have picked something easily identifiable as analog audio equipment.
