Lex Friedman[0][1][2] (with an “E”) would probably prefer not being confused with Lex Fridman[3][4][5] (without an “E”), the host of the interview linked above.
I remember spending a day in fourth grade during Maryland history reproducing the flag on construction paper. (Admittedly that was many years ago; my children apparently didn’t get this exercise.) The Crossland parts are pretty easy; the Calvert parts are a little harder. The tricky parts are getting the number of pales correct, and coloring in all the countercharges correctly (i.e. where the red goes vs. white, and where the black goes vs. yellow).
It looks like the occasion is the 30th anniversary of Bare Bones Software (the company): <https://www.barebones.com/company/>. Perhaps the original submitter mistakenly interpreted the "30th Anniversary special pricing” text as applying to the BBEdit program itself.
I believe it is Bare Bones Software (the company) that is having its 30th anniversary this month <https://www.barebones.com/company/>, rather than BBEdit (the program).
Re the Dock: it may not be easily discoverable, but you can resize the Dock by hovering over a vertical bar between icon groups, then dragging up and down. Hold down the Option key to snap to (what I presume is one of a number of) unscaled icon sizes.
One of the first things I do on a new install (as well as turning on the Finder status bar) is option-clicking on the Dock and shrinking it down by one step (or maybe two on a 13" MacBook).
> I know what you're asking yourself and the answer is YES. #Android communicates with #Google services outside an active VPN connection, even with the options "Always-on" and "Block Connections without VPN."
Not saying that makes it right, but perhaps the discussion should be not be focused on Apple specifically.
...which suggests that the notion that some designer at Apple subtly decreased the contrast on green bubbles to make them look "gross" is ridiculous -- if they really wanted to make SMS messages look bad, they could be much less subtle about it...
At the time the green/blue distinction appeared in Messages, it was widely reported that the green color for SMS messages represented the fact that most cellular plans in the US at the time charged a fee for each SMS message sent, or had a higher monthly rate for "unlimited" texts. It would seem that very few people remember the days before "unlimited data/text/minutes".
(US currency is typically associated with the color green in a way that probably doesn't apply elsewhere in the world. Also, the actual color of green on US paper currency is quite different from the green bubbles... but I digress.)
Since they moved macOS off version 10.x (finally), "Apple's crack marketing team" left the desert (Mojave) for the Pacific coast. Unfortunately, they didn't plan the trip carefully, so they started at Big Sur with macOS 11, went north to Monterey for macOS 12, then turned around and headed back south to Ventura for macOS 13. At least those locations are in alphabetical order -- but with Ventura they seem to have painted themselves into a corner.
So will macOS 14 be further south (Carlsbad?) or back north (Eureka?) -- stay tuned...
How about getting a MacBook Air and using your iPad Pro as a second display (using SideCar) on which you can also draw with your Apple Pencil? Possibly more flexible than a Wacom tablet.
No; if you give a shell script the .command extension (and make it executable), then you can double-click it in the Finder to open and run it in the Terminal application.
President Clinton was briefly given this power by the Line Item Veto Act of 1996 [1], but "its effect was brief as the act was soon [in 1998] ruled unconstitutional by the Supreme Court".
(Straying a little off topic to provide the following hint:)
There's a setting for this in System Preferences > Keyboard > Keyboard. My recollection is that this was previously a checkbox that toggled the "double-Fn to invoke Siri" function on and off, but as of Big Sur (at least) this is now a popup menu control, where the choices are "Change Input Source", "Show Emoji & Symbols", "Start Dictation (Press Fn Twice)", and "Do Nothing".
My test M1 machine was set up from scratch last year (i.e. no account migration) and has "Do Nothing" selected here, so I can't confirm that "Change Input Source" is the default for new users, but its position as the first item on the menu is suggestive.
You can: in general, pressing option will open a new code editor (the exact behavior is configurable in Preferences > Navigation > "Optional Navigation"). For example, option-click a file in the Project Navigator to open it in the "next" editor; this will open a second editor if only one is open.
In exchange, I'd genuinely like to know how to open more than one solution at a time in Visual Studio for Mac. I know about the checkbox in the Options panel of the Open dialog, but if you don't remember to turn that off every time it closes your existing solution. Also, it's documented that holding the Control key when choosing from Recent Solutions has this effect, but that has never worked for me.
It was a deliberate design choice for Lightspeed C (the original name of THINK C) to not perform error recovery in the parser, and thus to stop compilation on the first syntax error. This made the compiler both smaller (important when running on a machine with 512K RAM) and faster (since the logic needed to implement error recovery simply didn't exist).
Early Macintosh development (before Apple's Macintosh Programmer's Workshop) was done on a Lisa running a version of the UCSD Pascal environment. It was a big deal when Lightspeed C and its competitors (in both Pascal and C) made it feasible to develop software directly on a Mac, though of course there were tradeoffs due to limitations of the early Mac hardware. (Now, with the recent release of Swift Playgrounds 4, which allows apps to be developed and submitted to the App Store on an iPad, we've come full circle...)
