My favorite thing about this is a checkbox in Xcode's Interface Builder (or whatever it's called now) for menu items image — "Only for macOS 26".

> "This transition has previously been presented as peaceful. However, our study indicates the opposite. In addition to violent death, it is likely that new pathogens from livestock finished off many gatherers," says Anne Birgitte Nielsen, geology researcher and head of the Radiocarbon Dating Laboratory at Lund University.

Mac equivalents to Windows Home and End are Cmd-ArrowUp and Cmd-ArrowDown. Fn-Left and Fn-Right are Mac-flavored Home/End, which don't move the text cursor, but scroll the text container, keeping cursor in its original place (although there's no distinction when viewing documents, e.g. in a web browser).

FYI, batch rename (with counters and some patterns, but not regex) and Copy as pathname (hold Option) are already Finder features.

You can also use Emacs keys (Ctrl-D) for one-handed delete. Very convenient when Caps Lock is remapped to Control.

It's recorded in the HTML5 spec under 4.2.5.1 Standard metadata names, which defines the correct format and parsing:

https://html.spec.whatwg.org/multipage/semantics.html#meta-k...

So, it's standardized and not deprecated.

It has this note though:

"Many search engines do not consider such keywords, because this feature has historically been used unreliably and even misleadingly as a way to spam search engine results in a way that is not helpful for users."

HTML 4.01 says the following:

"This specification does not define a set of legal meta data properties. The meaning of a property and the set of legal values for that property should be defined in a reference lexicon called a profile. For example, a profile designed to help search engines index documents might define properties such as "author", "copyright", "keywords", etc."

https://www.w3.org/TR/html4/struct/global.html#h-7.4.4

Why is meta keywords deprecated? I use them for my custom website search. I don't care that external search engines don't index it.

There's more to it than just using a memory safe language.

Times New Roman (and STIX Two Text, Libertinus Serif clones) has been designed with increased x-height while keeping the same line height, see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Times_New_Roman#/media/File:Ti...

It's normal for it to appear denser vertically. Your example of increased line height looks suitable for subheadings, but in no way represents the typographic tradition of its use.

From Wikipedia:

"Michael Hart's email messages and blog posts had equal line length paragraphs in monospaced font: he chose the wording in such a way that each line had the same number of characters."

It probably used pixel-by-pixel conversion (decode input format -> encode output format), which is lossy, not the libjxl native way to convert JPEG (it needs to know about the original JPEG data, not the raw image data).

A warning about openbsdhandbook[.]com - this website has completely incorrect information for some things. Like hallucinated, even though I think it was created before LLMs.

I recently learned that Russ also wrote software for The On-Line Encyclopedia of Integer Sequences (https://oeis.org) and is the president of the OEIS Foundation.

Yes, WAL by definition means it writes the data at least twice.

Write-Ahead Log for... logs?

WAL means it will write the same data at least twice. Similar issue, but even worse, with LevelDB -- it will just delay the inevitable huge rewrites for later. Funny to hear those proposals in the write amplification thread.

I believe journald log rotation is basically: close file - open a new one. How is it not completely different?

Looks like it was caused by result confusion: crypto_dispatch returns errors in two different ways:

https://man.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi?query=crypto_dispatch&ap...

"crypto_dispatch() returns an error if the request contained invalid fields, or zero if the request was valid."

However, on an actual error from the crypto driver (e.g. invalid MAC), crypto_dispatch result is successful and the error is returned in crp_etype structure field.

With CGO disabled, it only reads /etc/passwd, while the glibc getpwnam(3) can query LDAP etc.

Which uses libc via CGO or parses /etc/passwd with no CGO, which won't work for some cases.

  // userLookupGetent uses "getent" to look up users so that even with static
  // tailscaled binaries without cgo (as we distribute), we can still look up
  // PAM/NSS users which the standard library's os/user without cgo won't get
  // (because of no libc hooks). If "getent" fails, userLookupGetent falls back
  // to the standard library.

I did something like this using fail2ban for some time, but 1) it didn't help much due to the larger number of IPs, 2) it blocked widely used VPN services.
