@danblondell Nope. I've been using it myself for a few months. Works great.
@McCloudStrife Haven’t read it yet, but it’s on my list for a post update.
@reginaldtw Yes, if I didn’t already have a 2012, I would seriously consider getting the 2015 instead of the 2016.
@reginaldtw No, I never even considered it, so I haven’t thought or written much about it.
@reginaldtw Why pay thousands of dollars to get a slightly better processor, worse track pad, same RAM, no 5K?
@mmunz @danielpunkass Yes, why doesn't the toolbar API directly support the most common case? And, likewise, with Touch Bar and validation…
@yawnyoice Doesn’t seem to be Spotlight, and not using iCloud Keychain, but thanks.
@McCloudStrife And to an extent you're right. There's not much ROI in fixing bugs—until everyone starts thinking your OS is really buggy.
@McCloudStrife Again, I don’t find that persuasive because you could say the same about nearly any individual UI change or bug fix.
@McCloudStrife I don’t think this is rocket science, and most of it is already in place.
@McCloudStrife Lowest ever.
@McCloudStrife If the only thing that matters is a lagging profit share indicator, there’s no point in discussing anything.
@McCloudStrife I don’t find that very convincing because it can be used to justify pretty much anything.
@McCloudStrife There is potential upside. They don’t have Microsoft-level marketshare.
@McCloudStrife Sounds good to me.
@McCloudStrife I don’t know what SW refers to here.
@McCloudStrife It affects the SAT of people like me. It makes me annoyed at Apple, less likely to spend $, less likely to recommend.
@McCloudStrife No, but the same is true of most single things that make the product worse. Put enough of them together and it matters.
@McCloudStrife Reduced customer SAT. Lost revenue: people don’t buy these apps from the App Store or switch to Android.
@McCloudStrife Both.
@McCloudStrife I think there are a lot of drawbacks and only minor benefits to restricting this.
Thanks, everyone. Looks like I should try resetting the SMC.
Mac is really slow, even after reboot. Fans on high. No CPU use to speak of in Activity Monitor. Not sure what's going on.
iPhone froze twice in the last two days in the middle of the call—counter stopped counting.
@leggendario12 Yes, but please see: c-command.com/spamsieve/help…
@colincornaby I’m not sure whether it’s fully open source. Main justifications seem to be portability and speed.

@ameaijou Hmm. With both, I good luck for a while with adding aluminum foil to help the batteries connect.

@lapcatsoftware @tclementdev PDFKit is the new discovery. :) Even with returning the incomplete results, "log show" is unbelievably slow.
@lapcatsoftware @tclementdev Great, because who wants reliability from a logging tool?
Good news: Ting has added a GSM option since I last checked. Bad news: no Wi-Fi calling or visual voicemail.
@lapcatsoftware It seems to spend a huge amount of time converting numbers to strings.
@lapcatsoftware I searching a lot slower for you with the new version? Sometimes I think nothing was found, then shows up 20 seconds later.
Missing the old Mark command in Console.
@chmaynard Not this particular one.

@nst021 Glad to hear that. I thought you wanted to get it from the server…
@AppleFanboi1984 I don’t think so.
@AppleFanboi1984 Probably Xcode (compiling, running Instruments) or running virtual machines for testing.
@jwleblan @claud_xiao @edskoudis Not unencrypted, but CrashPlan for example has access under the default setup.
@jwleblan @claud_xiao @edskoudis FileVault doesn't help if the keychain is backed up somewhere.
@jwleblan @claud_xiao @edskoudis Not that I know of, but likely much shorter password than for 1Password.
@rickfillion Aha, I can see how that would be great for you, then. I typically just leave 1Password running until I reboot.
@rickfillion Cranked up (= shorter?) because you want it to time out while you’re still sitting at the Mac?
@rickfillion Am I missing something? What does this really do for me vs. current situation of 1Password remaining unlocked while logged in?
@rickfillion No. Would love to see how it feels in practice, but I don’t have a new MacBook Pro, and my next Mac is likely to be a desktop.

@justkwin 29270060
@danielpunkass Yes, and that page makes it sound like -O isn’t needed. So there are at least 4 different ways shown in various docs.
@danielpunkass The Xcode documentation (and Apple blog post) shows the longer versions, but pbxproj shows the former.
Am I supposed to be using “-Owholemodule” or “-O -whole-module-optimization”?
@justkwin In most cases yes. :( But here I’m talking about +[NSFileHandle fileHandleForWritingToURL:error:]. Seems to be reporting ENFILE.
NSFileHandle seems to report POSIX errors using the NSCocoaErrorDomain.
@owensd And they got rid of sharing photos with family over LAN.
@McCloudStrife Rebooted the Mac yesterday. Up to 6 GB of swap again this afternoon.

@sirjohnhargrave Sure, you can e-mail me.
@MitchWagner @handcoding You can schedule it to start at a certain time when you’re usually away.
@handcoding @MitchWagner Yes, that is unfortunate. :(
@handcoding @MitchWagner CrashPlan lets you turn off realtime filesystem monitoring, so I don’t see this sort of CPU activity with it.
@lapcatsoftware My reaction exactly. I could live with it. But the older ones, I liked.
@lapcatsoftware The results wouldn’t make you happy, anyway.
@McCloudStrife Also, the older post I linked to lamented the poor documentation of the lower-level power assertion APIs.
@McCloudStrife Talking about power assertions. Docs you linked to talk about user doing stuff, which doesn’t literally apply in this case.
@McCloudStrife Yep, although I think he makes a good point about it not actually being user-initiated.

@FogCreek My preference would be no new features; instead, fix longstanding indexing and message display bugs, restore keyboard shortcuts.
@FogCreek @fetchguy Bug has existed since at least 2013. Please fix it once and for all. See cases FC2535515, FC2842895, FC2978711.
@FogCreek @fetchguy I’m afraid it’s not really worked out because there’s no easy way to see that cases are missing.
@SamMallery I have always heard about people having problems with frayed cables, but that has never happened to my Macs.
@SamMallery Can’t say it’s ever caused me problems, and I saw lots of notebooks with broken power ports in the pre-MagSafe days.
@bwebster Wow, I thought this was a more rare problem. Reported it years ago. I’d consider it a blocker for shipping this type of product.
@fetchguy @FogBugz Or search for them by sender/title and then make a tiny edit to the case to trigger reindexing.
Really getting tired of these new e-mails that don’t show up in the FogBugz inbox because its indexing is out of sync.
@eternalstorms Lately I’ve been getting reviewed in a few hours, but then it takes a day or two after Ready for Sale to show up in store.

Ah, that bug again where the Favorites section disappears from Save dialogs until rebooting.
@dwsolberg Yep, lots of delays. Optimizing?
@Jon_Alper 2012 Mac, almost everything excluded from Spotlight.
@philltopia No idea.
2 GB for kernel_task, 786 MB for iTunes, nothing else of consequence now. Maybe former Safari tabs.
Restarted the 16 GB MBP this morning and already up to 17 GB of swap again.
@sunildvr Not sure about the ScanSnap issues, but 10.12.1 definitely still has lots of PDF bugs.

@qmvnp 5-6 seconds to open/close Safari Bookmarks disclosure triangle when window is on non-Retina display.
Extreme slowness in Safari’s Bookmarks window seems to be due to having a mix of Retina and non-Retina displays.

@tclementdev Thanks. It does seem to work with "messageType IN { 0x10, 0x11 }".
@tclementdev Were you able to get it to work with something like "messageType IN {'error, 'fault'}"?
@lapcatsoftware My main problem was that you had to choose between a small, fast hard disk and a big one that was really slow.
@lapcatsoftware For example, resting on the palm rest could bend the trackpad and make it not work right. Whole thing moved when typing.
@lapcatsoftware I think the absolute love of resistance is not that high. I like that you can feel when it’s activated, like an HP calc.
@lapcatsoftware If I have the timing right, that’s when I had the 17-inch, which was great. However, the case was not as firm, bent in use.
