macOS 10.12 Sierra Setup

Custom recipe to get macOS 10.12 Sierra running from scratch, setup applications and developer environment. This is very similar (and currently mostly the same) as my 10.11 El Capitan setup recipe and 10.10 Yosemite setup recipe. I am currently tweaking this for 10.12 Sierra and expect to refine this gist over the next few weeks.

I use this gist to keep track of the important software and steps required to have a functioning system after a semi-annual fresh install. I generally reinstall each computer from scratch every 6 months, and I do not perform upgrades between releases.

This keeps the system performing at top speeds, clean of trojans, spyware, and ensures that I maintain good organizational practices for my content and backups. I highly recommend this.

You are encouraged to fork this and modify it to your heart's content to match your o

Core Data

-com.apple.CoreData.SQLDebug 1-3 - print all SQL queries called by Core Data
- -com.apple.CoreData.Logging.stderr 1-3 - needed alongside with the SQLDebug from iOS 10+ because of new logging system, more on that in changelog
-com.apple.CoreData.SyntaxtColoredLogging YES - probably syntax colored logging (not tried)
-com.apple.CoreData.SQLiteDebugSynchronous 1 - preference controls some aspects of the SQLite store. See the "Configuring a SQLite Store's Save Behavior" section of the Core Data Programming Guide for details
-com.apple.CoreData.SQLiteIntegrityCheck 1 - the SQLite store does extra integrity checking
-com.apple.CoreData.MigrationDebug 1 - Core Data will log information about exceptional cases as it migrates data
-com.apple.CoreData.ThreadingDebug - preference enables assertions to enforce Core Data's multi-threading policy. It is a number, where incre
