Some versions of xargs don't respect the shell's max argument length, so on older platforms (MacOS X 10.4 sticks out in my memory) it's easy to cause xargs to try invoking with a longer command line than permitted. This is fi

Ouch. I always upgrade within a couple of months though so I guess I've never noticed this. Certainly APFS has made my 5 year old Retina MacBook Pro feel faster when compiling so I'm not complaining too much.

It’s certainly true, but normally it’s based on real data rather than feelings. It turns out us computer experts are a tiny minority of computer users so things we want to do are often hidden. Better than my dad finding the options though.

You’re not the only one I’ve heard of, but I haven’t worked a pattern yet. I’d agree with your conclusion though, unless you have two machines wait until the .2 release. Of course make sure you report the issues to Apple.

Apple maintain security updates for at least 2 previous revisions of macOS. As long as you keep your system updated you’re as secure as the current version.

Then the driver behind was following too closely, which has little to do with an optical illusion on the road.

You have to authenticate this and it wipes your faceid data. It doesn’t allow upload of the current data.

I think it's due to relative power of the consumers. In most medical and dental situations the consumer does not have a lot of power compared to the providers. A government-lead system can drive down to the cost of providing, eliminati

DuckDuckGo doesn't just run a web crawler, it aggregates from many sources including Bing and area specific APIs. Not all of these sources supply date information so you'd end up with some results having it and others not. Informa

Us-east-1 is where all the shiny new features are released and where most customers are. From experience the other regions are much more reliable.

Come to New Zealand, I haven't used cash this year. Everyone takes cards, though contactless isn't popular with merchants due to unregulated interchange fees.

I’ve recently seen inside the horror that is the US interbank clearing system. It seems crazy to me. In New Zealand we regularly share bank account numbers for payments, most obviously via TradeMe, our ebay equivalent. If you had my bank ac

That’s quite crazy. Though here in NZ we don’t have a National ID number either, we have several different numbers for different purposes. Most places will work with a driver licence or passport number, but given there’s no need to register

Until recently (~5 years I guess, possibly longer now) MySQL beat PostgreSQL in raw read performance and scalability - though you'd have to scale MySQL sooner. PostgreSQL has been better than MySQL for high-write workloads (thanks to M

You can make a mess out of any development system, and a knee-jerk reaction to throw out RDBMS guarantees is as sensible as ignoring Javascript because legacy jQuery made the UI really hard to understand and debug. I've worked on some

I'm not sure what you're getting at. Good RDBMSs do not have any global locks, table level at most, and can easily handle thousands of reads and writes per second on modern hardware while maintaining isolation between transactions

I've used Postgres for years because it's sane out of the box. I know you can configure MySQL to mitigate these issues and use InnoDB by default, but the mere presence of data-destroying features is a red flag to me. I know I coul

And the other doesn't get in to it anywhere near as much as the US because most of the time you get what is subsidised.

Yes, you can get a beat effect ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beat_(acoustics) ) as the ultrasonic frequencies interfere with the audible ones. It's generally not considered desirable.
