PSA – Malware spreading via Xcode project.pbxproj files
If you build Xcode your project that has `TARGET_DEVICE_FAMILY` with a suspicious Base64 encoded string in your pbxproj file, it will install malware onto your computer in your ~/.zshrc_aliases and ~/.zshrc. Perhaps it can infect in other ways. This triggers a series of requests that downloads and runs arbitrary shell scripts.Some things the shell script does:Steal and upload Google Chrome...

Uninteresting speeds that allow for us to even exist at all. Maybe not so uninteresting :) (I know what you meant though).

Not a physicist, but wouldn't a spacecraft standing on Earth's surface already feel 1g because of Earth's gravity (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Equivalence_principle)?

I built this for OS X. Didn't quite catch on and life got in the way but you may still find it useful.

That is really low for Vancouver. I don't know anyone in a 1 bedroom in the city centre that pays ~$1400 CAD. The lowest I've heard from my co-workers is ~$1650 CAD, going all the way up to ~$2100.

This "PC Master Race" mentality has left a sour taste in my mouth. It is a joke to a few but it is starting to become serious (weather they refer to it as PC Master Race or not). Most arguments are made by technically unqualified enthusiasts on subjects like architecture, performance, and cost effectiveness.
I suppose the reason I'm bitter is because I'm constantly being told (online and lots of PC enthusiast friends) that my choice of gaming hardware (a console) is vastly inferior to a PC. Choosing a gaming platform is not a 100% performance to cost optimization problem.
