Once again I find myself flabbergasted at working in an industry where the people working in that industry have no interest in getting paid for the work they do. You can spend $100 these days just eating dinner at a mid-tier restaurant. Qui

I think this is a combination of a bug interacting with two different things. One is the extension change checker, and the other is the system that adds extensions invisibly in order that the OS can still pretend 23 years later that extensi

I don't think it's actually auto-correcting, it's offering an emoji option in the word suggestions that matches your last typed word (if there is one) and allows you to select it to replace the previously typed word. As far a

It's some sort of bug around saving "non-standard" extensions. And it seems to grab as many of the original characters as it can that match a known extension, so `test.foo` becomes `test.foo.f`, `test.solo` becomes `test.solo

If you were writing a Java application, would you do your own DNS resolution, or would you make a new socket address object and give it a hostname and let the api resolve the hostname for you? If you don’t hand roll your own dns protocol lo

by tpmoney 2y ago
No this appears to be if an application registers a DNS resolver proxy on the local system, getaddrinfo doesn't use the proxy, and presumably just hits whatever the network interface's configured DNS server is.

The finder probably chooses this paradigm because cut + paste is destructive. If you cut text and never paste it, the next time you copy out cut you lose that text forever. So if you used the same paradigm for files in the finder, you could

One argument in favor of removing it (not saying it’s the reason or that they didn’t have other options) is that ctrl-click and open did not obviously do anything different. That is, whether you ctrl-click and open a signed app or an unsign

True, it would be more accurate to say that what "zoom" is designed to do is expand the window as much as possible to display all the content, however the application defines that. For many applications, the result is a fully maxi

You can also double click the title bar to expand to fill the screen, and double click it again to return to the previous size. One caveat to this is if your application saves window sizes on close and you close with a full screen window an
