I think that last bit is tongue-in-cheek. That’s my read, anyway.
I suspect that the stutter happens when it decides to change audio tracks to a higher bit rate stream, but that’s me talking out of my rear.
That particular problem went away once I turned off lossless in Apple Music settings.
There’s a handy app called XLD (X Lossless Decoder) that will convert from FLAC to ALAC (and probably back) in a couple clicks if you need it. Lossless means I don’t really need to care whether my music is in an equivalent format, but I will admit it’s a bit silly.
Don’t forget to update the folder permissions to be like the others in your home directory. By default all users of your machine will have read access to the ~/Developer folder you create.
And while you’re at it, might as well pin that folder to the left side of Finder.
You can drill into zip files using QuickLook (i.e. by hitting space bar) with this QLGenerator:
Agent Ransack (free for commercial use) and FileLocator Pro (paid, has near-instant indexed search) are the go to grep alternatives for Windows on my dev team. https://www.mythicsoft.com/
I also hear VS Code has ripgrep built in, but I haven’t used it extensively.
I did this once for a Microsoft account created under a relative's email address. I did a password reset and marked it for deletion, but whoever created the bogus account managed to get back in before the deletion request was processed. Now the email address is verified with Microsoft and not under my control whatsoever, with a phone number presumably for 2FA. :(
I figure the only chance I have to fix this is to get a job at Microsoft and go knocking on some doors...
I found a program that seems to (mostly) work. I wish there were others like it: https://neosmart.net/blog/2017/easy-window-switcher/
I’m someone who is currently struggling to find these people; what has worked for you? It often feels that everyone cool is trapped in their car, and we are destined to never cross paths.
