You can also drag and drop files/folders from Finder into a Terminal/iTerm window. That'll expand to the full path in the terminal.

For example, dragging the Documents folder into a terminal pane becomes:

  /Users/<username>/Documents

Interesting. I never noticed that because I've always used List or Icons as the default view in Finder (Command+1 and Command+2).

Personally, I'd recommend just not using the Column view. It seems pretty janky compared to the other options.

For what it's worth, Command+[ and Command+] will move back/forward between folders, just like Safari and elsewhere.

Holding down Shift with those commands will move between tabs in Finder.

That's right. Regarding your last point about two-finger clicking on the folder name to show the path, you can also go to "View > Show Path Bar".

That will show the full path along the bottom, and you can move to any parent folder by double-clicking on it--which is, perhaps, not exactly intuitive :-).

I'm not sure I fully understand the workflow here. I use three large 4k monitors with macOS, and it's straightforward for the most part. Then again, I basically never use the menu bar, since keyboard shortcuts are so consistent across apps. I just keep the dock on the primary display.

The only occasional pain point I encounter is when apps like Zoom automatically switch to "full screen mode".

There's also the option in Mission Control for "When switching to an application, switch to a Space with open windows for the application". If that feature is turned off, then you could, for example, have Chrome on _every_ desktop. Then it's just a matter of Cmd+tab to Chrome, and Cmd+n to open a new window on whichever display/desktop has the current focus.

For window management, I've found BetterSnapTool to be essential. It provides the typical window snapping from Windows. Better yet, you can setup keyboard shortcuts to quickly snap a window to the left side, right side, maximize, or move it to the next monitor. The shortcuts I use mimic Vim bindings, so it's easy to remember [1].

With caps locks remapped to Control in the Keyboard preferences, moving and re-sizing "windows" across multiple displays is fast & easy.

But I'm probably missing something with your particular use-case.

You can use Cmd+o to open a program (and the "return" key to rename it).

Exactly the same here. I recently got a Model Y in mid-January. It's by far the best car I've ever owned, the most fun to drive, the least stressful, and it just makes me smile every time I get in it. The interface and UI is incredibly intuitive.

I've even got Siri Shortcuts setup to do things like, "hey Siri, open trunk", "vent windows", "prepare for launch" (turns on heated seats/steering wheel, sets climate control, opens garage door based on the current wifi network, etc).

Everyone who test drives it falls in love with it, including one individual who began working to get out of his BMW X5 lease.

And I've had the privilege of driving higher-end German cars for years. There's absolutely no comparison to the Tesla; the Tesla is superior in every way.

Likewise! That's actually the reason I submitted the article.

Indeed. I've run into this multiple times. Something as simple as "brew upgrade youtube-dl" could end upgrading dozens of _unrelated_ packages, such as postgres--which ends up breaking my local development environments. Perhaps that's the wrong command to use, but either way, it's still frustrating when it happens.

Indeed. This is illustrated vividly here: https://youtu.be/hA_B7qPyUDA?t=1120

Two people engage in a "charging race" to see who can charge the most in 15 minutes. The contenders, a Tesla Model Y and the 2021 Ford Mustang Mach-E.

The non-Tesla experience is almost comically sad.

Have you considered that these measures are _temporary_? If people shared the same ideas about sacrifice, the United States would've never prevailed in WWII. Personally, it seems like objections to basic preventive measures, such as wearing a mask, are more rooted in ego and entitlement. And that is often coupled with spurious ideas about government overreach (which, while sometimes valid, isn't exactly a cogent argument in the United States, where shared ideals on liberty and limited government are so deeply ingrained).

If homework is considered easy, then perhaps you're at the wrong school? Ideally you should be in an environment where you feel like everyone else is smarter, and you're struggling just to keep up. Consider transferring to a different institution, your future self will thank you.

It could be a function of their integrated graphics approach with the M1 (SoC), as opposed to simply having the right ports. That's just a guess, however.

Just in recent weeks:

- M1 [0]

- A14 in the iPhone 12 Pro (first 5-nanometer chip with 11.8 billion transistors) [1]

Previously, they introduced the first 64-bit CPU in a mobile device, which stunned competitors at the time [2].

Not to mention their excellence in hi-dpi displays. In 2012, Apple launched the MacBook Pro a with "retina" display. It took _years_ for non-Apple alternatives to materialize. In fact, the only comparable laptop display in existence today would probably be the Dell XPS 17" UHD+ (which I own, and it's excellent). However, the MacBook Pro 16" remains superior when it comes to sound quality, form factor (i.e. weight), touch pad precision and latency, thermal performance, etc., despite significant investments from Dell in those areas to catch up.

The GNU Emacs website is similarly well done [0].

Similar situation here. The AT&T-provided router for gigabit fiber performs significantly better than my new Ubiquiti "frisbee" access point that's mounted on the ceiling.

At a previous house, I was equally impressed with the WiFi speed and propagation with the stock AT&T router (a different manufacturer), which performed at nearly the theoretical max.

Perhaps ISPs are learning to provide higher end equipment? Of course, gigabit fiber already necessitates better than average equipment, lest you expect complaints from customers.

Here's some examples of this lovely element. I can't believe I hadn't heard about this before! I shared it with several web designers/developer friends who all had the same reaction.

This is already built into iOS, no 3rd-party software required (which would probably just siphon off your contacts).

Just go to: Settings > Phone > Silence Unknown Callers

(Calls from unknown numbers will be silenced, sent to voicemail, and displayed in the Recents list.

Incoming calls will continue to ring from people in your contacts, recent outgoing calls, and Siri Suggestions)

This is true. But for reference, I'm using a 2018 MacBook Pro with two external HiDPI monitors connected via USB-C (a Dell 4k and an LG 5k2k), and the page still performs flawlessly in Chrome.

And a slickly-produced YouTube video courtesy of NASA Goddard: https://youtu.be/amOdtYv5G4E

It's 4k at 60fps with extended dynamic range. If you've experienced HDR/wider color gamuts, then you'll appreciate the distinction.

Consider the harsh chemicals involved in hair coloring and other such treatments. Not only do you have the risk of spreading disease to consider, but you must also be mindful of _serious_ chemical burns. It's anything but trivial.

For what it's worth, Asus has provided excellent support for the PRIME X370-PRO motherboard. It was a bit of a gamble when I purchased a PowerSpec Ryzen system from Micro Center, but Asus has released regular BIOS updates, including support for higher-speed memory (e.g. I'm running 32 GB @ 3200MHz, Corsair Vengeance chips).

My only complaint would be the lack of detailed change logs, which are often only a single bullet point.

ISPs use a variety of techniques, such as deep packet inspection.

Many ISP support centers use commercial software [1] to display a detailed analysis of website usage whenever a customer calls in for support.

This includes the top websites visited, how much data was transferred for each site (yes, including those of a more salacious nature), the number and type of devices inside a home, nearby Wi-Fi networks, etc. [1]

This information can then be queried and used used for marketing purposes at the subscriber level (or to individuals within a dwelling).

Pro-tip for Safari: Press Command+Shift+\.

This will show an overview of all your tabs at once. Just start typing to find a particular tab by name.

A two-finger pinch-in gesture will also trigger the Tab Overview.

Another fun one: use Command-Option-<+> and Command-Option-<-> to make text larger or smaller (as opposed to zooming the entire page).

To view other shortcuts, click the View menu in Safari, and then hold down the Option key.

You can force enable wide color support in Chrome via a flag (assuming your display supports wider gamuts, of course).

See chrome://flags/#force-color-profile

Remapping Caps Lock to Control makes the motion even easier.

You should be able to right-click anywhere on the trackpad with a two finger tap.
