If you ship a binary to a person’s computer and that binary has a secret embedded in it, that secret will eventually be discovered. This has been discussed here before: http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=4411696

Actually, it’s more like 166: $ grep -c -i "titanic\'" iphonelist.txt 166 It’s only 190 if you include names like “Titanic’s iPad”, but those aren’t funny.

As the author of this dotfiles repository, I completely agree. These are my settings, and I’m sure not everyone will like this configuration. The idea is that automating all these OS X preferences (hidden or not) can save you a lot of time

@tubbo That’s still possible when the green icons are hidden: no icon means it’s synced successfully.
