Distribute your Go program (or any single binary) as a native macOS application
// Package main is a sample macOS-app-bundling program to demonstrate how to
// automate the process described in this tutorial:

// https://medium.com/@mattholt/packaging-a-go-application-for-macos-f7084b00f6b5

// Bundling the .app is the first thing it does, and creating the DMG is the
// second. Making the DMG is optional, and is only done if you provide
// the template DMG file, which you have to create beforehand.

Hammerspoon script to disable bluetooth when the computer is put to sleep. Requires `blueutil` to be installed (`brew install blueutil`).
require "string"
function checkBluetoothResult(rc, stderr, stderr)
if rc ~= 0 then
print(string.format("Unexpected result executing `blueutil`: rc=%d stderr=%s stdout=%s", rc, stderr, stdout))
end
end
function bluetooth(power)
print("Setting bluetooth to " .. power)

Verifiers SHOULD NOT impose other composition rules (e.g., requiring mixtures of different character types or prohibiting consecutively repeated characters) for memorized secrets. Verifiers SHOULD NOT require memorized secrets to be changed arbitrarily (e.g., periodically).However, verifiers SHALL force a change if there is evidence of compromise of the authenticator.

Why imperative imports are slower than declarative imports

Why imperative imports are slower than declarative imports

A lot of people misunderstood Top-level await is a footgun, including me. I thought the primary danger was that people would be able to put things like AJAX requests in their top-level await expressions, and that this was terrible because await strongly encourages sequential operations even though a lot of the asynchronous activity we're talking about should actually happen concurrently.

But that's not the worst of it. Imperative module loading is intrinsically bad for app startup performance, in ways that are quite subtle.

Consider an app like this:

Don't use VPN services.

Don't use VPN services.

No, seriously, don't. You're probably reading this because you've asked what VPN service to use, and this is the answer.

Note: The content in this post does not apply to using VPN for their intended purpose; that is, as a virtual private (internal) network. It only applies to using it as a glorified proxy, which is what every third-party "VPN provider" does.

  • There's also this article about VPN services, which is honestly better written (and has more cat pictures!) than my article.
