Or, it could just switch the default shell to Z shell. First thing I do on a new Mac, is chsh -> zsh. Ships with an up to date (enough) version of that.

NZ's UFB network has always been FTTH (meaning it terminates inside your house), there is no copper in this picture.

This is why, for example, last month people who qualified for 200MB can now get gigabit plans.

I beg to differ. I had an encrypted USB HDD hooked up to Thunderbolt display, and lost all data on it because it does indeed power down its USB hub :)

I have a Thunderbolt display from Apple, it also powers off the USB devices when it goes to sleep.

Uh, nope. You've just ensured Dropbox will never be installed again on any of my machines or devices. Ever. You fuck up like this, you never earn that trust back.

I am of Dutch descent, but I have never set foot in the Netherlands. Somehow, though, I am much taller (6'1) than my dad and his father, who were both pretty short (5'2).

Some of your neighbours' rights may include not having a 100 floor tower go up next to them blocking all their sun, as an example.

Well, you can still pick up an AR-15 online in NZ if you have a valid firearms license, difference is the police are going to know you have one, and will do a background check as well as have an interview with you.

I've transited through the USA a few times. Might be coincidence, but every time I complained on Twitter beforehand about the security theatre, I was "randomly selected" for special treatment.

It will be interesting to see if Swift Playgrounds on iPad changes the landscape here.

Simple intro courses, but it's got real Swift compiler + runtime, and you can call straight into all the native APIs if you jump out of the guided tour.

$99 is when you want to distribute via App Store. You don't need that to do the development or use the tools.
