I bought an install disc for Snow Leopard (OS X 10.6) back when that was the current version.

Seems they have it in the offical online store still actually: https://www.apple.com/shop/product/MC573Z/A/mac-os-x-106-sno...

However when I inquired at an authorized store about a later version after it came out they said that it was not available on disc and you had to buy it via the Mac App Store which means you need to have OS X in the first place but I'm not sure if they were talking about their own store or in general.

I'm on mobile right now so not going to bother finding out what other versions can be bought on disc media from the official online store but if someone else would like to chime in with more links that'd be welcome.

I come across these once a year or so on the net but when I need them I never can remember them because it's not so often that I need them

Seems that only four of the tips are available?

Maybe but the OP link has links to both of those and summarizes quite neatly what this is IMO.

Out of the box it'll probably tell you "Client is not authorized to connect to server" if you try to run anything X11 as another user.

However it should be possible to configure your system such that it doesn't like such: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/xorg#X_clients_started_...

Readme has instructions for building on Linux so it's not limited to OS X.

On Reddit they call it Beetlejuicing.

I saw a couple of dead comments from him here on HN earlier today or yesterday evening actually. First time in a long while I'd come across his comment so that was kind of random.

Edit: The comments were posted 6 hours ago, check his user page https://news.ycombinator.com/threads?id=TempleOS

When I first saw the name "HolyJit" On Reddit I thought it was going to be something new from the TempleOS guy.

Someone in the comments linked a cheaper alternative: http://abusemark.com/store/index.php?main_page=product_info&...

Seems that the firmware for this cheaper alternative is not open source but from what I gather it doesn't need any proprietary drivers on Linux. Since it interfaces over Display Port and USB I don't think it should be able to do anything nasty so the closed firmware doesn't matter much IMO.

It's not clear to me whether either of the one you linked and the one I linked has touch support.

That link has an interesting write-up which includes a story about a computer he made himself using a micro-controller and then it goes on to talk about making the OS for the Raspberry Pi and also has some criticism of the Raspberry Pi. Would recommend reading.

One thing I find useful about slugs in URLs is it lets me see that I used the intended link when I paste it

rumor that Brendan Eich initially intended to use Scheme instead of JS, although this never happened

I wonder what'd have happened had he done so. Would it have grown to the size that JavaScript is at today, or would it have lost to something similar to JavaScript that some other browser would have implemented?

Gnu coreutils wants all the command line utilities to respond to --true and --version. The version number is that of the coreutils package,

You meant to say --help and --version.

I don't think most people in Scandinavia has any problem accepting this. Pretty much everyone in the world who knows about Vikings know that raping and plundering is what they did for the most part when they set sail to distant shores.

Then make the bird sing the complete soundtrack of Doom.

You know that we know that you know that you can link to others without asking for permission, right? If you want to promote your site fine whatever, but please don't pretend like that is not what you are doing.

Someone else ITT pointed out a good reason:

yes can be used to generate arbitrary repeated data for testing or whatever, so it is useful to be fast

Nice to see the prices of most of the things. How much has the car itself and all of the additions cost you total up until now, and how far into the two year period are you?

I found the book CouchDB: The Definitive Guide to be a good introduction when I first read it some years ago. I bought the dead tree edition but they have an online version that I think may have been updated.

I downloaded the app because I wanted to be of service, but I promptly uninstalled it when It wouldn't let me continue unless I typed exactly 10 digits. In my country phone numbers are 8 digits. In some countries they might have more than 10. Requiring exactly 10 digits is beyond ridiculous. Hopefully it's just an oversight on the part of the person that made it. Uninstalled, but willing to try it again if this issue is amended.

Speaking of plotters, consider engraving the QR code in aluminum instead of having it on paper. If there's any hacker space nearby where you live they might have CNC equipment that they will let you borrow and instruct you how to use.

How many of the Howey test questions must be "yes"? All? Any? More than x number of them?

Is number two on that list about migrating something to Rust or from Rust?

It might be useful to be able to query by server time regardless of whether your client clock is in sync. You retrieve some set of data and the next time you can ask the server to give you everything newer than x, where x was the highest time stamp you got from the server previously.

I vote that you use a dash instead.
