Bugs me too. Your best bet is launchd which solves the problem, but it is a bit of pain to write job definition property lists. More here: https://www.launchd.info

I'm a dentist who regularly treats OSA with dental appliances; they work by posturing the mandible forward with a maxillary and mandibular (two-arch) device as a way to increase the cross sectional area of the posterior airway, reducin

I like RockAuto. But since I had a bad run-in with a supposedly-quality oil pan for an Aisin transmission, I've increasingly been using OEM. Like, from the local dealers. But, there's always things like brake calipers from TRW whi

I read about the loudness wars, got super upset about the injustice of lost dynamic range, posted something about it on my dorm room door... 15 years ago. NOTHING has changed. The article notes that Spotify, but originally it was terrestria

Possibly helpful to some macOS folks: I converted all of my cronjobs to launchd agents/daemons and the increased dependability has been helpful, since I use a laptop which sleeps a lot. What I mean: "Unlike cron which skips job in

As I understand it, software playing a ripped DVD doesn't "know" when a data source is a ripped DVD and does not expect any corruption -- it will not seek over or ignore issues like a DVD player connected to a TV will. I&#x27

I just got next year's fees: premiums are $911.86 per month for family of three. More than the principal and interest on my house...

That is correct. To corroborate: my health insurance contract states I must pay $13,600 towards my medical expenses (this is AFTER premiums) per year, before they will begin paying on my behalf.

I believe aluminum is nicknamed "solid electricity" due to the ore purification process or somesuch; which dovetails well with the strategy you outline here!

That's super-interesting to me because I came out of undergrad with $0 in debt... and I came out of dental school with $280,000 in debt.

His comments about the keyboard in the current MacBook Pros are particularly apt: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4KuVvb9DTaU So, even a person holding 1 (2, 3!) genuine Apple keyboard(s) in their hands likely still couldn&

I'm using Cloud Sync to backup a Synology to B2. Have you considered btrfs snapshots? I use them because I'm backing up a lot of sparsebundles and I had the same thought as you: if they get corrupted and then automatically back up

You've set the stage for how strikingly bad this current situation is: the keyboards in all new Macbook & Macbook Pros do not work as keyboards (the keys fail when they should not). The way to fix this is to make the laptops thicke

For me they broke automount (/etc/auto_master). It just... randomly takes root ownership of my smb shares. So I can't get to them. Then it randomly gives me ownership back. Crazy-making. Writing a Cocoa app right now to watch

My thoughts are similar to yours, but not due to innovation but rather a functioning, humane welfare state. My wife and I have been eyeing up Sweden or Denmark for years. If family wasn't here, we'd have left already.

I agree completely. The long-takes, especially. Amazon Prime Video has a good collection of Mr. Roger's Neighborhood episodes. I'll find myself drawn in to the show in a way I'm not at all by any other kid's shows. Incid
