This looks promising: > Automates ImageOptim, ImageAlpha, and JPEGmini for Mac to make batch optimisation of images part of your automated build process. https://jamiemason.github.io/ImageOptim-CLI/
> automated build process > Mac Why would anyone run a CI server on a Mac?

> most modern apple native apps are the ones that crash the most while electron are stable as... I'd hesitate to make this generalization. I need to use slack on a macbook for work and it crashes regularly. I tried out VS code and it also would crash on occasion. Worse than that, coworkers of mine have rolled bug-ridden electron apps that we're required to use. There are plenty of non-electron apps that are stable.
Not necessarily your main point, but this triggered me: > coworkers of mine have rolled bug-ridden electron apps that we're required to use This is quickly becoming one of those things I can't stand, especially when there are open source/free options out there. No, I don't want to use your homegrown application unless there really isn't a good option out there. And if that's the case, make it a good tool and release…
Most 'home grown' corporate apps I've used are dependent on internal resources, processes and requirements. They'd be useless to anybody else, there are no alternatives anywhere at any money and in many cases you can't do big chunks of your job without them.

I thought Sysinternals was acquired by Microsoft?
Mark went work for MS, as I recall. This was some years ago; I don't know about currently. MS sucked in the tools/pages onto its domain. Navigation to/of their pages and versions became somewhat shittier (per the... "canonical" MS web experience, I guess). I seem to recall a bit of public pushback on this point, and things improved somewhat. Maybe I mis-recollect; I've been mostly away from Windows for quite a number…
I use the nirSoft CSVFileView utility all of the time. The near instantaneous load time is how computing should be.
I tried opening a 3M-line (550MB) CSV. It took a couple minutes to get to 1M, and it seems to have an O(n^2) algorithm because it was doing 40k lines/second on my machine and now (after around 1.5M rows) it's doing about 1/10th of that. Memory consumption is at over 2GB for this first half of the file. It's definitely a nice tool, but it's far from instantaneous loading!
Known Limitations - CSVFileView cannot load extremely large csv files.

IP address is not anonymous!

Parts of them were integrated. Take a look at the Win XP Task Manager and at the Win 10 one.
They are still way behind ProcExp for example.

There's no reason a text editor, or most applications really, need unrestricted access to a user's disk. They have to prompt the user with a file open dialog anyway, so you may as well let the OS handle that and pass an fd/handle across the boundary for you.
What if you are using a smart IDE like editor that, for instance, minimizes and concatenates your css and js files? It’s going to want access to all files in that directory, not only the ones you are editing.
This site was GOD MODE when I was in high school. The tool I used the most was RunAsDate: https://www.nirsoft.net/utils/run_as_date.html It used to work really well in bypassing software trials. I'm not recommending its use for that(if it even still works).
I wonder if I used his tool back in the mid 90s... Ah, can't have been - he says he first put utilities on the web in 2001
