More issues generally arise from supporting/qualifying older OS versions than supporting specific architectures in my experience, so developers keep around older hardware or VMs for that purpose. In some other circumstances Rosetta may not be sufficient for testing older Intel hardware (one example is work on GPU)


Just my feedback - I've personally found jj more complex for simple projects. Like if you have a non-collaborative repo where you push to main most of the time after making a series of commits, in jj you have to keep updating a bookmark before pushing it and there's no one command to do both.

If you have another machine on main without any outstanding changes and you want to pull the latest changes that is probably also two steps (git fetch + new?)

That said, I've been liking jj quite a bit for more mature / collaborative projects. It has been a learning experience. (don't enjoy updating bookmarks for PR branches though; jj encourages rewriting history which is not my favorite choice for code review branches; I often work in repos that squash-on-merge).


Yeah, in that case you may want to configure bookmarks to auto update for sure :)


Is there a way to do that today?

For updating bookmarks I've found like half a dozen variants of `tug` alias the community has come to using which is just a slight improvement (bit daunting to newcomer to pick 'best' one and not fan setting up aliases on all my working devices).

It would be nice if jj was better than git for the fundamental workflows like this out of the box overall.


Yes, it's called "experimental-advance-branches" (because it landed before the branch -> bookmark rename). Here's an example of setting it:

For macOS:

Applications may have permission to access files/services that other apps and even root (I believe) would need user-prompt access to, gated by TCC (potentially including sandboxed game’s data).

Code signed games that opt into enabling library validation should prevent the issue of loading arbitrary code, however many games likely don’t do this.

While I was learning a new keyboard layout (Colemak) I went from > 100 WPM to starting from ~20 WPM. I think I got pretty productive when I reached 60/70 WPM and was surprised how much tab completion and computing assistance I relied on anyway. After that experience I think fast typing speed is overrated. (Now I’ve a somewhat useless skill of being able to type > 100 WPM on two different keyboard layouts.)

Edit: note if you are a typist and transcribe a lot of text for long periods of time without break, typing speed is important. But that’s mostly not any of us. But hey maybe I don’t write enough documentation and comments..


They also did not attend university nor received high school diplomas. They were self driven a lot.


Look at their notebooks - they did the math!


I've been typing in both qwerty and colemak around the same speed (>=100 WPM) for almost a decade. I ultimately ended up deciding to use qwerty at work and colemak at home. At least for me the comfort difference between layouts is marginal.


Modern versions of Sparkle are a less random in when to show the update alert (lots of software, iTerm including, use ancient versions of Sparkle)

DND is not properly/reliably detectable for 3rd parties. Support for Notification Center is not well designed for a framework to control and works as an auxiliary/supplemental (not primary) functionality for 3rd parties, so apps themselves would have to opt into using it along with adding a lightweight UI indicator which may need to be tailored to the app in question.

Further support is available for apps to support more gentle reminders -- https://sparkle-project.org/documentation/gentle-reminders/ which is a mechanism that iTerm developer wanted but developer has other priorities.

Users can opt into automatically downloading/installing updates too which may minimize prompts


When I eat at Chipotle I do half/half on black/pinto beans and sometimes on protein :). It’s a hack because they sometimes give you more that way.


I buy whole wheat bread with very little sugar, although it is easier to find wheat bread with lots of added sugar and even more so in restaurants. I guess I would consider it as a good part of my balanced nutrition, not so much healthy by itself.


Your "low sugar" bread is only low sugar until you eat it. Whole wheat is mostly polymers of glucose sugar and it's turned into sugar when your body digests it.

Bread is a good source of calories but offers little in the way of nutrition. In fact, in terms of its phytic acid content, wheat germ is functionally an anti-nutrient because it impairs bodily absorption of iron, zinc and calcium.

And while bread can be included in a healthy diet, few people in the western world are suffering from a lack of dietary calories. For anyone who is currently consuming more calories than they need, bread has no nutritional upside.


I'm happy as the author that it's still seeing some good use :)
