Maybe I’m too boring but what about using preprocessor defines: stick it as a -D flag in CPPFLAGS in your makefile from and env var or wherever that info comes from and read it in the source.

At least it’s how I’ve always seen it done and it does feel simpler although, yeah, maybe not as fun :)

Carmack himself describes it well in the recent interview with Lex Fridman https://youtu.be/I845O57ZSy4?t=8961

The actual book on Amazon:

> Significant performance improvements to completion of the available commands (#7153), especially on macOS Big Sur where there was a significant regression (#7365, #7511).

This is buried down in the Completion section but this is a big deal if you’ve upgraded to MacOS Big Sur: completing a command could hang the shell for 10-15 seconds making it nearly unusable. Thanks for fixing this!

Not sure that is what they meant but in some European countries (France being an example), college means middle school rather than university.

Rome, Jerusalem, Athens, maybe Istanbul.

From their about page:

> The Long Now Foundation uses five-digit dates, the extra zero is to solve the deca-millennium bug which will come into effect in about 8,000 years.

Looks like the ZoomOpener app is still present on my machine but it’s not running anymore and it shows as unticked in the Login Items preferences.

They ship a pkg installer package that pretty much always elevates, even if it doesn’t actually need it. While it could in theory install as the user, I don’t even think the Installer app supports this configuration anymore (at least last time I tried I wasn’t able to).

You can disable the Finder integration in the preferences, same for the badge.

Thanks for the tips! I had never thought of using a snapshot as a quick way to return to the state before a panic instead of rebooting. This is genius, I'll definitely use it a lot!
