Kobayashi posted:Lion is starting to grow on me. I used to have two spaces: One for activity, and another for monitoring (email, calendar, IM, iTunes). What I'm finding now is that I like to run Mail and iCal in fullscreen mode and treat them as their own spaces. I also reverted Dashboard to an overlay instead of its own space. Edit: Add to that that Cha-Ching was bought by Intuit... Man, where have I been? Also: I'm doing the same thing you are. The full-screenable apps I don't even worry about, I have a 'chat' desktop for IM (personal and work) and then a generic desktop for doing file operations and other non application specific tasks. I really am liking Lion a lot. Certainly things could be fixed, but it's pretty awesome so far. unruly fucked around with this message at 16:15 on Jul 22, 2011 |

Barack Pwnbama posted:No, I've got indicator lights on. It's just textedit and preview, and sometimes textedit will stay open, but not always. Basically: if your system is looking for RAM, an App can tell the system that it's available for shutdown because it's done doing what it needs to, and it's otherwise idle. There are two different variations of this, both outlined in the article. It's a pretty neat feature, but like the rest of Lion, quite a shocking change of pace for the above average user.

Barack Pwnbama posted:It just annoys me a bit how they always shut down every time. If it really was because the system needed RAM I'd get it, but I've got 8 gigs with 3.5 gigs free right now and it does it anyway. Check Console.app and see if there are any errors being spit out there regarding TextEdit or Preview. Thats usually where I check first when apps blink out.

So, despite all the belly-achin' I've been doing in my spare time about Xcode, this new release (at least, as far as I am aware) installs Git for you! Hooray, no more having to Homebrew that package. Not that it's a big deal, but it's nice to have it installed via an official method. Also, this natural scrolling has infected my brain. I've had to go and modify my Ubuntu machine to have it as well: http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2011/07/reverse-natural-scrolling-ubuntu-os-lion/ Overall, after getting used to the weirdness, Lion is pretty good. I'm anxiously awaiting 10.7.1 and 10.7.2 for much needed fixes to little(big) things. unruly fucked around with this message at 01:46 on Jul 31, 2011 |

TheState posted:Why is this pointless? Memory usage really is one of those issues that should come down to a non-issue these days. RAM is cheap and plentiful, and the systems in place are largely managing it better than any user can/could -- especially with caching and this new process management system going on. Plus, really? Is it every year that a new browser version comes out and someone has to raise the RAM usage question like it's still a serious problem? Most of the time it has to do with loaded plugins, extensions, page elements and all sorts of other poo poo that really can't be reproduced on any other machine. It's all anecdotal.

TheState posted:Thanks for the first part of your answer, and I realize that it's all anecdotal, but this is a machine I don't have control over getting upgrades for, so RAM being cheap and plentiful means jack poo poo for me. All I know is that my computer crawled to a halt for no obvious (to me, I'm just looking at system monitor because I don't know what else to look at) reason beyond two tabs in Safari and a few other apps that aren't really doing a whole bunch. So, I do understand your plight, it's not an easy one to solve. On RAM starved machines, you might have a point where reclamation might not happen often enough or grab enough to quench the thirst. Like you said, too, that Lion introduces a lot of new components (especially new process management) and they may not have hammered out all the problems with lower end machines, or machines who are under spec'd for their roles. Hopefully a round of patches will start smoothing out the raw edges of the system and get this boat back into the stable-ish territory that was Snow Leopard.

Ahh, I love a good reactionary piece: http://tidbits.com/e/12398 OH NOES, MAH WINDOWSSS The problem Apple is trying to solve is user process management. We're getting to the point in the game where you can have dozens upon dozens of applications open, all with their own windows and stuff in them. In previous incarnations of the OS you, mentally, had to manage what was open/running and what you should quit. Now, when an application is truly not being used, the system can quietly spin it down to consume less resources, or process handles or what have you. You, the user, don't have to think about process management. You don't have to think about it on your phones, why should your desktop suddenly be any different? Furthermore, if you really [i]do[/] need it, it's state is saved and with one or two clicks you're right back to where you were again, sometimes you might not even realize you've left the application. Yes, there are bugs and edge cases where this isn't going to work perfectly. Those rules can be tweaked, interfaces can change (I agree with some of the commenters that the icon should stay in the cmd-tab/dock for a bit -- perhaps fade out?). The thing that irks me though is when people whine and complain about 'the new' without really understanding the focus behind it.

NotShadowStar posted:They are literal ports of Gentoo Ports or the dpkg system and all the poo poo that comes with it. As stated they require their own compiled versions of apps, so installing one installs a huge chain that isn't necessary. Also the dpkg system is just loving awful. Resolving a chain of dependencies is generally nightmare both installing and uninstalling. More often than not when I'm helping someone with some bizarre OSS issue I ask 'do you have MacPorts/Fink' and the answer is usually 'yes'. Removing MacPorts/Fink and using the Homebrew version always does the trick.

Been building printer scripts for our students here. Interesting change from 10.6 to 10.7 -- when needing to authenticate against a shared Windows printer (on a domain, in our case) in 10.6, you had to use the "DOMAIN\username" format for the username. In 10.7, now samba-less, it uses the domain your authenticating against -- so you use "username" (no domain prefix or @<domain> stuff) as your username. Better, but had me pulling out my hair for a while...
