And QEMU on macOS uses Virtualization.framework for hardware virtualisation.

That's just for the statically-linked vminitd binary in the VM I believe. Containers should still be running whatever's packaged into them.

You'll be happy to hear that Kotlin is licensed under Apache 2 then.

From https://kotlinlang.org/docs/faq.html#is-kotlin-free:

Yes. Kotlin is free, has been free and will remain free. It is developed under the Apache 2.0 license, and the source code is available on GitHub.

It's even included in macOS now (as of Sequoia).

Sort of. For scaling something to different paper sizes, the constant aspect ratio is the important part. But the subdivision property is also important for a few reasons. Take booklet printing as an example. You need a paper size that's twice as wide as the normal paper size to print that on (so Ledger/Tabloid for booklet printing Letter pages). But ideally you'd want this larger paper size to have the same aspect ratio, so you could scale up something like a poster to it. The only aspect ratio that works for is 1:√2.

Same for printing two copies per page (2-up). With a 1:√2 ratio, you can perfectly fit two copies of something side-by-side on the same paper size. This was incredibly common back when I was at school, where A4 worksheets were printed 2-up on A4 paper so that each individual one was A5 in size (half the area, √2/2 the length). With A4, you then just chop the printed pages in half and the worksheet fits perfectly. With any other aspect ratio, either there'd be wasted space due to the different aspect ratio of the chopped-in-half paper to the original, or you'd have to print 4-up on larger paper and chop it into quarters. The 1:√2 aspect ratio of ISO paper sizes means you can just chop a page in half and get the same aspect ratio, and that's useful to people doing printing, not just manufacturers.

> Can you see the small text of individual items of the Word ribbon?

I tried with my Xreal Air on Windows and macOS, and yes, it's quite legible.

Do bear in mind that although the screen is quite close to your eyes, the optics makes the apparent distance quite far. So if you're short-sighted, you will need prescription inserts. I also have some issues with some corners of the screen being slightly cut off, probably a combination of the inserts which I ordered locally as well as the fixed IPD of the older Xreal glasses (the newer Xreal One should be better here with its software IPD adjustment, the Xreal One Pro also comes in two different sizes for different IPD ranges). I also noticed some of the text on the right side of the Word ribbon was a bit blurry, which might be due to the inserts. But in general, I find the display quality great for video, and perfectly good for web browsing (not as good as a Hi-DPI display, but perfectly usable).

The Xreal glasses are 1920×1080. The Air series is listed as 49 PPD, the One and One Pro will be a bit less due to the larger FOV (50° for the One and 57° for the One Pro as opposed to 46° for the Air series).

> Safari 18.4 on macOS now supports Safari Web Extensions that have been Developer ID-signed and notarized. [...] Once notarized, your app and extension is ready for distribution and use in Safari.

From the Apple developer docs:

> If you provide your extension in macOS and don’t want to use the Mac App Store for distribution, you can sign and notarize your extension’s app with a Developer ID to distribute it outside the Mac App Store.

From elsewhere on ESA's site[0]:

> As part of its decommissioning, the names of around 1500 team members who contributed to its mission were used to overwrite some of the back-up software stored in Gaia’s onboard memory. Personal farewell messages were also written into the spacecraft’s memory, ensuring that Gaia will forever carry a piece of its team with it as it drifts through space.

The "Command Line Tools for Xcode" don't require an Apple ID to install (and provides a C/C++/Objective-C/Swift toolchain (LLVM/Clang) and things like Make and Git). Not to mention other compilers not provided by Apple that you can just download and install. And yes, while you do need an Apple ID to download Xcode from Apple, you don't need to be signed into macOS with it (you can download it from the Apple Developer site).

> I’m in Apple ecosystem, not that they are significantly different but they atleast allow me to use the system albeit in limited capacity.

Define "limited capacity". Other than Apple Services like iCloud, FaceTime, iMessage, Apple Music/TV, etc, it should just be the App Store that's unavailable without an Apple ID (which _is_ crippling on iOS, but not so much on macOS).

> Edit isn't always there. Fn+E seems to make the most sense. I've heard about ctrl+cmd+space but commonly forget it.

You can remap Fn/Globe directly to it if you want. It's also accessible from the Input menu bar item if you show that.

> Both of those open the same GUI which combines emojis, stickers, and unicode symbols—preferring the first two categories over the last. To type out a unicode symbol it takes at least three clicks on top of me starting to type in the name of my symbol

Are you using the expanded Character Viewer window[0], or the default collapsed Emoji & Symbols pane[1]? Because the expanded Character Viewer lets you customise and reorder the categories[2] (though that doesn't affect search), including adding a full Unicode view[3]. And they both default to the search bar when opened (though the Character Viewer opens unfocused for some reason).

Agree. The only thing you need one for is the Mac App Store, but most software is either not on there to begin with or is also available directly from the developer's website (other than Safari extensions, which are mostly Mac App Store only). But not only does Apple not force you to sign in with an Apple ID, if you do it doesn't take over your account (i.e. Windows makes your email address your username and you sign in to Windows with your Microsoft account password). Allowing password reset with your Apple ID and uploading your FileVault key to iCloud are both optional (and they ask you instead of it being opt-out). And you can also choose to sign into just Apple Media Services (App Store, iTunes, etc), leaving iCloud signed out (or you can use different accounts for each).

They were actually using Avid Media Composer, not Final Cut Pro.

You can add the "Unicode Hex Input" keyboard layout, which lets you enter BMP characters by holding down Option and entering its code point in hex (similar to the hex entry on Windows). Expanding the Emoji & Symbols pane minitech mentioned also lets you browse by category (e.g. arrows), and you can customise the categories and add a full Unicode character picker (not limited to BMP like the Windows Character Map) there as well.

You need FFmpeg installed, yes. But it's not a separate step you have to do.

yt-dlp can take multiple itags and merge them for you as part of the download process. Example: `yt-dlp -f 137+140 'https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dQw4w9WgXcQ'`

Not who posted the parent comment, but "brute force approach" = having the NRQZ I'd imagine.

Does anyone know what "Windows 11 Home 64 Plus" and "Windows 11 Home 64 Advanced" are (from the screenshot of the OS options HP offered for that laptop)? Most I could find out is that they appear to be OEM versions.

There's also this[0] that was posted here yesterday. Haven't tried it myself, I've personally found Wipr/1Blocker to be sufficient.

I just added this to my userstyle CSS for YouTube:

  /* Remove pink tint from end of progress bar */
  .ytp-play-progress.ytp-swatch-background-color,
  .style-scope.ytd-thumbnail-overlay-resume-playback-renderer,
  .ytp-scrubber-button.ytp-swatch-background-color {
      background: var(--yt-spec-static-brand-red) !important;
  }

  .ytp-play-progress.ytp-swatch-background-color,

  .ytp-scrubber-button.ytp-swatch-background-color {

  }

Only does the video progress bar, but I might extend it to the handful of other things that use the gradient.

Also, ZeroTier is layer 2, whereas Tailscale is layer 3. So you can bridge your LAN to ZeroTier at layer 2. https://docs.zerotier.com/bridging/

> No way I'll use LaTeX for all my writing, and anything Markdown-based just won't cut it formatting-wise.

Have a look at Typst[0]. It's a lot easier to use than LaTeX, while still offering full formatting and layout.

Or you could give macOS a go. UNIX with proper desktop versions of the Office apps. ;)

The TI-Nspire CX CAS II, Casio ClassPad fx-CP400, and HP Prime G2 are the main CAS-enabled calculators available these days. The TI-89 Titanium and HP-50G are also options, albeit older models (with the HP-50G being discontinued).

Basically any scientific calculator will do proper infix with correct operator precedence, no need for a graphing one (or even one that displays the entered formula, the original Casio fx-82 for example only shows the number currently being entered, yet still does proper infix with correct operator precedence).

This is something the CHERI architecture[0] (an extension to ARM and RISC-V that implements a capability memory model) can allow this performantly with compiled code (without needing to context switch). This PhD dissertation from Cambridge[1] implements this for C/C++ under CheriBSD (their fork of FreeBSD that supports CHERI).

I _think_ that's browsing the SD card from Bambu Studio when the printer's set to LAN Mode, not printing from SD on the printer itself.
