Nothing in general, there's just a new and more secure way of doing things. There's no reason to change if you're comfortable with the existing way of doing things. Personally I trust GitHub to get the security right more oft

Auto pilots disengaging and sounding an alarm in unexpected situations have lead to multiple crashes, also the autopilot wasn’t engaged at the time, but the pilot was following a computer created flight path. Commercial aviation is designed

Because hierarchical structures and names are easy to explain to most people. macOS has supported tagging for ages, but I’ve never seen it used extensively or as a complete alternative to tree structure.

AZs are physical boundaries, but the networking and software is interconnected. Regions are (mostly) isolated, though global services like IAM and CloudFront often have their main control plane in us-east-1

That public status page has no bearing on service credits, it's a statically hosted page updated when there's significant public impact. A lot of issues never make it there. Every AWS customer has a personal health dashboard that

It's an edge case, it only happens _if_ you have either very long running transactions holding xids, or you haven't vacuumed your database enough and it has to do a blocking vacuum to move the xid forward far enough to wrap around

Forced population control - either preventing or requiring people to reproduce - is a terrible idea. The low birth rate has a huge number of external factors, not least of which is given the current housing and job market many people simply

Where I live high doses of cyproterone acetate have been used for chemical castration (>200mg), but at these levels there's a chance of developing benign brain tumours, so they try not to do this. I think zolodex is also used in thi

By default MS SQL uses pessimistic locking, depending on isolation levels. There's only one version of the data on disk and the isolation level of a transaction determines what happens - for example if a transaction in SERIALIZABLE rea

A .app inside a zip is fine. Under the hood, Apple used to have a tech note on it but I can’t find it right now. Essentially the OS uses file system event notifications to watch for bundles being added or removed. It maintains a database of

Yeah, finder is a horrible mishmash of ideas poorly executed… but: 1. macOS standard behaviour - actions require the command key. 2. Yeah, that’s strange. I’d expect a command key to be required. 3. That’s quick look. The behaviour relies o

For applications there is no Windows style install process where things like the registry have to be updated, the os manages these associations itself. For things like kernel extensions yes there’s an installer, and some more invasive apps

This is mostly a historical thing. There’s no real reason to use .dmg these days - historically it was the only Apple-supported way of compressing macOS files and keeping their resource forks intact. These days .zip is fine. That said there

Seeing snow when your eyes are closed or in darkness is fairly typical from what I understand. Visual snow as a diagnosis is visible at least in reading-level light and against light backgrounds. I see snow against all colours in a typical

Some people - like myself - prefer to see all the messages go past and mentally thread them. It’s a skill I learnt from many years of irc use. Others prefer to click through and not think about thread content until they choose to. Also I’d

That’s because the human body can metabolise a small quantity of cyanide. Going by Wikipedia sweet apricot kernels produce ~0.3mg of cyanide when eaten, but the toxic threshold is around 100mg for acute effects. Still, chronic cyanide expos

They use Apple-specific properties because these are non-spec behaviours that nobody should be using. Since there’s no official way of invoking these legacy behaviours they’re placed behind vendor properties. Firefox does the same thing.

It’s not legacy behaviour for Safari, it’s legacy behaviour for the web. Browsers support all sorts of issues created by old browsers and loose html specs - see the comment about the special value to centre text like Netscape 4 did.

Given that Apple have owned CUPS for close to 15 years, yes they still use CUPS. The author left Apple in 2019 and now maintains a fork.

It makes sense on a network with only managed servers - couple the firewall deny in with flow logs and forward to your monitoring system, it’ll alert you to suspicious traffic. However on a general purpose network I agree. If you’re not usi

That focuses the menu bar for keyboard navigation. The question was about the fast navigation keys Windows has on menu items, which has no Mac equivalent.

There is no Mac equivalent to this Windows feature. You can set up a shortcut to move keyboard focus to the menu bar in Keyboard preferences under Shortcuts (in fact you can remap any application’s keyboard shortcuts there). That’s also whe
