  1. Not a fan of solo piano. Not a fan of Philip Glass. Curiously, solo piano by Philip Glass works.
  2. 1. Commit test for new bug fix. 2. Wait for buildbot to fail new test. 3. Commit bug fix. If the test fails to fail, the buildbot is busted.
  3. Closed rdar://2855120 three months short of its eighth birthday. It deleted a header file that in 2002 was already several years obsolete.
  4. Au pair programming.
  5. @bbum My tree is about two feet tall. Big trees are for paying customers.
  6. Stuart's Law of Quadratic Reliability: why I can't play Left 4 Dead 2 even though it doesn't crash on my machine. http://tinyurl.com/y9x6jwp
  7. P = NP²: Einstein tries his hand at the theory of computation.
  8. Errata: The previous "Errata" should have been titled "Erratum", since only one correction was provided.
  9. @gruber Rentzschjkl; ?
  10. @marsroverdriver But they're nowhere near the Lab now! Plus they're all dusty and stuff.
  11. @marsroverdriver Don't leave us hanging; what are the first- and second-coolest?
  12. @eschaton My SAT included "iconoclast" in an analogy. I didn't know the meaning, but guessed based on MacWorld's "The Iconoclast" column.
  13. Sifted 2000 crash logs in three days. Verdict: dyld shared cache innocent; cannot rule out physical disk corruption or kernel or dyld bugs.
  14. @TALlama The FDA-approved use for potatoes is mashed. Other doctor-prescribed uses are off-label.
  15. A cigarette is a drug delivery device for nicotine. A bagel is a drug delivery device for cream cheese.
  16. Tonight's astronomy: frickin' cold.
  17. @nicoleslaw I always recommend pair.com. Not the cheapest, but very reliable.
  18. @sanguish More birthdays == more cake == more weight == more birthdays. Sounds like a virtuous cycle to me.
  19. @nicoleslaw What does a pure-bred Chihuahua do for his mid-life crisis?
  20. Finder's Quick Look is just the thing for trawling through hundreds of crash logs looking for patterns.
