I believe you're misreading GP's comment and/or the associated graphs. The graph with 4x performance increase is comparing a MacBook Pro (Intel) with a MacBook Pro (M1). GP is comparing the MacBook Pro (M1) results in said gr

One of my family members is using Time Machine and is on Catalina, which forces APFS -- is there something I should be worried about (outside of cross-platform support)?

Intel may or may not be controlling their production in the future; although it’s claimed to be for the short term, they’ve also started using TSMC. source: https://finance.yahoo.com/news/intel-now-ordering-chips-tsmc..

I remember running (I think) Jaguar on PearPC; mind you, Leopard was probably out by that point, I just had old disks handed down to me and no actual Macintosh. It was a lot of fun digging into the OS like that, especially at a young age, b

The term GP is referencing is Sherlocked[1]. As someone familiar with the iOS jailbreaking ecosystem circa 2010, you could definitely loan the term to apps that are from outside their walled garden. That said, it would be silly of them not

Is there any reference that these are actually zero days, or are these just particular CVE's based on some other category? e.g. the sources/links do not indicate that these were actually used in the wild? There's no indicatio

Meet is business oriented and offers features that Hangouts does not, e.g. dialing in via phone. It also requires a G Suite account (or did before COVID, IIRC).

I can vouch for this. I haven’t really needed the background blur feature personally, but I’ve tried it and both myself, colleagues, and friends — pretty much everyone I’ve talked to that has used it — loathe Google Meet’s background blur

Everyone else in this thread is talking about how Netflix _now_ (or sometime recently) works, but it didn’t for about a decade. The difference is the market share for Linux. It wasn’t that important. Restricting a paid video service, espe

This can get pretty pedantic. Where do you draw the line between what is the blog generator and the tools required to do it when counting the number of lines of code? One could easily argue in this case you might want to be counting the lin

If you never watch or listen to content you don’t want to buy outright or pirate, sure, VLC has nothing over Netflix or, say, YouTube. Especially if you prefer ad-hoc discovery! Seriously, arguing over these analogies is like arguing betwee

That’s a really fair point. Just not good enough for me given the circumstances; maybe he should delete them after he resolves them or follows up, especially if he says he’s going to look into it and never does. That’s worse than not respon

I was fairly unhappy with RubyMine 4-5 years ago, when I last worked in Ruby long-term. Glad to hear it’s gotten better. I’ll have to revisit it, especially if there’s a CE for RubyMine. To GP: there weren’t at the time any other options fo

Landscape mode as well, if the domain is long (it usually is). It seems responsiveness is broken in general. Cool idea, wish I could make out what the domains I was getting said.

I can echo this sentiment. I want to love Ruby, but when I work in project in it, I eventually get to point where I have trouble finding where something is defined, which wastes my time — and in general, to your point, it’s harder to find

Same here — I felt it would detract from the point I was trying to make so I didn’t mention it, especially since I don’t think most people run multiple OS’s :) At the least though, I would assume people regularly have collaborators that ru

Portable shell scripts probably run on your system all the time, e.g. when installing development tools or packages, especially for cross-platform languages like Node.js, Ruby, Python, etc... If a hunk of software wants a shell script, it&#

Yes, if you care about portability. Anything that's not Linux likely won't have GNU grep installed by default. This includes macOS and the BSDs. If this is your own dotfiles or utilities, sure, but if I'm working on something

This doesn't really solve the problem causing GitLab to enforce this change; I highly doubt the cost of providing support to users for MFA had any bearing on this discussion. Meanwhile, Gray's suggestion would provide any attacker
