I’m usually excited about macOS releases but this one is an underwhelming update and don’t see any reason to update any time soon. Stage manager seems like a half measure to introduce better window management in macOS and it doesn’t help that it doesn’t support a keyboard only workflow, from what I can tell from the demos. Coming from i3wm, I found Yabai to be an excellent keyboard-first window manager. I do wish som…

I've been testing Stage Manager since the first developer beta of Ventura and it did feel awkward, as it had no keyboard control, and I feel slower when pointing and clicking to switch apps. But after adding support for it in my rcmd app ( https://lowtechguys.com/rcmd ), and tuning yabai's grid a bit, I found it quite useful for my workflow. Here's a video on how I use Stage Manager with the keyboard shortcuts in rcm…

I didn't know I needed this but it is surprisingly pleasant to switch apps this way, thanks.

ps: I used the YP33H9AP9NFH code, so try the other ones.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

I still wish for something like Everything on Windows ( https://www.voidtools.com/ ) I wrote my own solution using fd + sqlite + fzf but it's nowhere as fast as Everything, and it also requires me to focus the Terminal to use it.

Everything is only fast because of an index, right? How it catches all file writes to update that index near instantaneously, I have no idea.

Everything uses NTFS journaling as far as I know.

I actually solved that by using the native macOS fsevents API which can watch the whole filesystem for changes, and I can instantly update the SQLite db I use for the index through that.

The problem is actually enumerating and searching the whole database, that's the slow part. Right now I have over 5 million rows in it and passing the SELECT results to fzf is the slowest part, taking a few seconds at least on an M1 Max.

I'm not sure how Everything presented the results so fast, with metadata and everything.

To save everyone else: All the codes seem to have been redeemed.

So nobody else has to waste time trying all of these codes - they're all burned up. Sorry folks :)

Ventura and iPadOS 16 dropped (along with iOS 16.1), but not Xcode 14.1 (which is still RC). I don't recall them ever not releasing Xcode at the same time as an OS update.

Well, I certainly hope the command-line tools are up to date. Otherwise upgrading brew and all its ecosystem might be somewhat of a pain.

Right now, homebrew is refusing to compile packages from source:

  Error: Your Xcode (14.0.1) is too outdated.
  Please update to Xcode 14.1 (or delete it).
  Xcode can be updated from the App Store.
